  1. DIRECTV Programming
    I just saw this article posted 1/3/13 in HomeMedia magazine. Don't know if it has already been posted here. It sounds like Directv has acquired the rights to air Epix. "Effective Feb. 7 DirecTV will raise subscription rates by an average of 4.5%, pointing to higher programming costs for the...

    I guess this is for someone like SatRacer who has inside info--is the any chance that NHL Center Ice will be made available on the Directv iPad app?
  3. General DISH™ Discussion
    I currently subscribe to Directv but am considering switching to Dish. My major concern is NHL Center Ice. Right now I get all the Washington Capitols games on Comcast MidAtlantic in HD on Directv. Is there anyone on this forum who watched the Capitols this season on Dish and can you tell me...
  4. Miscellaneous Equipment
    I've read the forum and can't find any answer to this: When you record from the HD-DVR to a dvd recorder, is there any improvement to quality if you use a dual layer dvd as opposed to single layer? I've been using single layer for years with no problem but I think my DVD recorder is showing...

  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have one H20 and two HR20's. The H20 has worked correctly on channels 499,498, 480 and 481 consistently with no problems whatsoever. Both HR20's worked on channel 499 initially and then on 480 and 481 with no problems. Neither HR20 worked on 498 ever, no matter what I tried. Since I have...

  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    This may be showing my ignorance but I'll ask it anyway--- Why are there such large variations in signal strengths among transponders on the same satellite? I could see 1, 2 or 3 percent differences but 10 percent or more seems strange. Leaving out the spotbeams, it would seem that all CONUS...

    I've used the same device for about a year with no problems.

    I called D* yesterday and was told NHL Center Ice would be available this year at the earlybird cost of $149. FWIW, I also asked about increased HD NHL coverage and was told that there would be additional selective games carried in the 90's channel range and that VS would also carry more HD...

    I tried it on 301, 501, and 70 and got the same message on all of them.
  18. DIRECTV SD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hi! I've had my account suspended for about 5-6 months and am about to turn it back on. I just hooked up my HR10-250 via component and checked things like signal strength, OTA, etc. I noticed that when I pressed the INFO button on most channels (I didn't check them all) I get the message "The...
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I emailed D* and this is what I received yesterday. "My apologies. Priorities often change in this business and unfortunately a decision was made to put a hold on all remaining HD local markets until we launch the new satellites mid-year and have adequate capacity. Sorry for the false start. By...
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I haven't seen any speculation on any new HD local sites to be added after the list posted here and updated 8/14. Is this the last of the HD local DMA's to be activated until the additional satellites are launched next year? By the way, I'm in the Norfolk, Va area (42 DMA).
