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.

That site used to list shows in HD on a local station that didn't even have its digital transmitter on the air yet. No clue where their info comes from.
Zap2it.com gets their information from Tribune Media Services. Tribune gets their information from the stations/networks/DirecTV.

DirecTV, TiVo and several other companies gets their information from Tribune.

In other words, "The Circle Of Life."

After a hard reset it now says..."searching for signal on satellite in 1".....
The reason that I asked, was that I think I remember seeing that there is a difference in how the hr20-100 handled the bbc test.
Looks like you have a -700 and are good to go!:)
BTW, your signature doesn't show you have a -700.

Just wondering, has anyone done a reset in the past hour to see if they might "accidentally" get a few of the new HD channels? I was thinking about doing it, but didn't want to in the off chance it lost something for some reason. I am kinda skittish with equipment after being off D* for a year.

Was it like this when Directv/USSB launched???

I know there wasn't the internet like it is now, but was there anything???
We sent up smoke signals talking about how great everything was...

Seriously though, DirecTV would put channel markers for new channels days or weeks in advance, so I can remember quite a few times when anticipation was high. (I remember when DirecTV announced Superstation WGN as coming (this was back they had WB! programming, and I was so excited to check out some of their shows... including a new one called "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer"...

I'm sort of hoping they don't put the "I Love the 80's" on in HD. We don't need Hal Sparks or Michael Ian Black in HD. :p

I received my phone call about b-band converters tonight and of course now I'm wondering if the're working and installed properly. Is there a way to test them?

Some of those classics I thought were neat back in the day sure are CHEESY. :grin:
LOL, yes they are, but isn't that the point? I would rather watch a cheesy video instead of some reality show that I can see on any network broadcast. ;)

Go to Channel 499. If you get "Searching for Signal" you are good to go.
