    I would like to see some of the HD channels moved from Ka to Ku, rain fade in the Southeast US is a real thing, where watching sports live is key.

    Do it in full SD with Mpeg4 or DVDQuality instead of SDLite ... There's been talks for years of getting rid of the SD Channels.. let it start already. Mostly techy people watch NASA anyway and they already have HD..

    It is shame we didn't have the NASA channel in HD or 4K. The picture quality for the mars event was garbage, pulled it up on my laptop and the picture was far superior. They have the bandwidth.
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'm surprised that Direct hasn't gotten out of making mini genies and just have an app that works on appletv, firestick, etc.. Seemed like that the idea they were heading down years ago when there were TVs with RVU built in them.

    I quit watching when Michael Jordan retired from the bulls and they stopped showing Bulls on WGN National Broadcast.

    I almost would rather have package without the locals and save the dollars and not worrying if the channels get pulled.
  7. HD

    DIRECTV Programming
    SDLite? I remember when we first got HD channels when the satellites at 99 and 103 were turned on, they looked better than my HDTivo MPEG2. I wish the picture was that good again. I also remember when OTA didn't have 4 or 5 subchannels, OTA looked great. I am hoping with ATSC3.0 we could...

    I wonder if they would start doing the movie channels(HBO,Showtime,etc) next, being you would think they would have all HD boxes in their household or at least a few.

    Sounds like MeTV or something similiar....
  10. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have seen this problem at my house many years and different equipment ago. I saw this problem when I had HR20,HR21,HR34. I don't see the timer issue with HR44 or haven't noticed it, but I also moved 10 more miles inland from I10 off the gulf coast. Rain storms to show up during afternoons...
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I didn't notice anything different on the smell other than the initial new car smell that every car has. 150s have lots of legroom as well and my Sierra does too.
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    My wife has a Palisade, the 2nd row has pretty good legroom. The 3rd row could use a little more leg room if I had to see back there with 2 other adults. I'm 5'10. The 1st and 2nd row seats can be adjusted on depth.

    You would think being all the games were in the bubble in Orlando and it doesn't move locations it would be easier to setup. Maybe they don't trust the robot cameraman with them.
  14. DIRECTV Programming
    I still watch SD, mostly for older shows. SD can still look good enough if it is DVD quality, not SD lite like how DirectTV looks. I wished the HD channels were on the Ku vs Ka to handle the Rain Fade in the Southeast. And my signals are in mid to upper 90s in the Ka Band for 99/103.
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    I didn't care for G4, Bring back TechTV... I miss Call for Help and screensavers. Lots of people still need computer/gadget help.
  16. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I have a 4K ready TV.
  17. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I couldn't get them to add the 61K mini receiver, but maybe I can wait a year or 2 when there would be more 4K content out there. Maybe in another year or 2 there will be a better DVR that can hand off multiple 4K Streams(3 or more) at once to the minis. I think we are in the late 90s all...
  18. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I will be getting a new dish install as this is a new house. I would think this would not be a having the right LNB issue. Does the HR54 not see the LNB with Reverse Band I am not sure if this a "system issue" or not. I could try to talk the installer into installing a 61K mini. If I got to...
  19. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I'm trying to get a 4K mini, but the CS rep tells me I need a Genie2. I have HR54, I thought a 4K mini would work with a HR54. However, DirectTV system won't allow him to do it. I don't want a new DVR and lose recordings, reset up series recordings, lose the ability to have Local Channel...

    and ESPN 30 for 30.
