I don't see it on 510. I'm not using a custom channel list either. I'm using all channels.
They may be remaking the anouncement to take out the H21 and HR21. They may have gotten a bunch of calls wanting them.

Mods, if you want to move the man from Indy who wants to buy a dish for his sister in Jersey and all response to it to another thread, that might be good. He could get a lot of advice there without having to sort through all of them. It's a legit topic and not just a post-counter.

Okay, let me ask this question. In all honesty, with all the posts about the signals strengths and stuff, does it truly make a difference in your picture quality or is it a matter of rain fade?

P.S. - If I go out and try to tweak my satellite, which should I start with: azimuth, elevation or tilt?

Thanks!
I would wait until you're certain it needs tweaking.

I just checked my signal strength on 103(b). I get a bunch of 0s on tuner 1, however I do receive signal strength from 67 to 83 on tuner 2. Is that normal for one tuner to receive and the other not?

Could be a bad BBC. try switching them and see if the signals change. Also 67 is kina low, if they are all closer to this than 83 you may need some adjustments.

I just tried that site with my zipcode and selected direct tv. It's telling me the shows on right now on 269(history channel) are in HD, obviously a mistake on their part.

Try a soft reset. I had the same issue yesterday and it cleared it up.

Doesn't look like these listings are very accurate. It shows the STARZ channels as HD for 10:00 period EST (now). But good find though, interesting, and welcome.

I just got a recorded call from D* asking me to confirm that I have a BBC installed.

Let's launch!!!!

I also read today that MGM HD channel will be launched on D*. Not sure if that has been mentioned yet in the 6k replys to this thread. :p
