  1. DIRECTV Programming
    I've been watching old Love Boats with my wife off POP (273). It looks significantly better than I remember D* SD looking, say, three years ago. But I couldn't say when that happened.
  2. DIRECTV Programming
    Was enjoying BBC World News HD over the weekend. Thanks, D*!
  3. DIRECTV Programming
    Oh, Sundance HD is coming soon? Nice. :righton: I'll definitely give BBC World News HD a look-see as well.
  4. DIRECTV Programming
    Just stuff other than Ultra HD. Like more HD and local spots. In the context they used it, they were just trying to convey it wouldn't be *only* Ultra HD that it provides.

    DirecTV has a whole host of risks to negotiate, it's true, but they just put several of the larger ones behind them successfully, and that's still worth a little pat on the back, IMO. :)
  6. DIRECTV Programming
    Eh. You don't know that either, tho likely true, and probably more like 3-4 months, if you mean significant numbers of new HD channels (like, say, 4 or more). But the bird is successfully in orbit, so their biggest (not only, but biggest) risk is now behind them, and that could cause them to...

    Congrats to Arianespace and DirecTV. I think I'll wait a couple more months before congratulating Loral, which I certainly hope to do. :)
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    It's back on the guide on 9550 for 2:10p-4P (CST) today.
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Nice. I'm set up to record too now at 2pm CST.
  10. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    It's definitely making a difference on both coax and hdmi, and I can recreate it at will --no goofy "sometimes" stuff (other than the nature of the content itself, that is). I know it was doing it on coax, because I have a Mits DLP TV that requires a conversion box for 3D and my AVR doesn't...
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    So I have an HR22 hooked up via HDMI to a Sony STR-DH800 home theater. Some time in the last year or so, I've increasingly noticed that sound has been going away to almost nothing on some (but not all) commercials, some promos ("Next week on Blue Bloods"), and even some primary programming on...
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Well, it worked out fine on the first tryout this weekend, so yay. I'll keep an eye on it for awhile still, but so far so good. Thanks for the feedback.
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Well, FS WI is not just a subfeed of FSN. It might be most of the time, but they have their own stuff too that FSN people don't get, but get other stuff instead at that time rather than be blacked out. Milwaukee Brewers and Milwaukee Bucks games being the big ones (which I couldn't care less...
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thanks! The linked document doesn't say anything about "CCHANS" (as opposed to just "CCHAN"). What does CCHANS do?
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    It's about to be Hockey season, so now I've noticed channel changes (Minnesota Wild) for plus/alternates RSNs, and I'm wondering how it's going to mess (or not) with my autorecords. BOTH FS North and FS Wisconsin have rights to show Minnesota Wild games within their areas. The old situation...
  16. DIRECTV Programming
    Oh, I remember this series of threads! How ya been, folks? :) Looks like the new bird finally has a pretty firm-ish fly date, within 60 days. Starting to get relevant again to dream bigger dreams of more HD goodness (within the limits of what's left to dream for!). Btw, it being Q4 for...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    So they're overproviding bandwidth at 103? 1). Backup capacity? 2). Could they do VoD (well, Video on Demand in a Little While) from there on some other frequencies?
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Hmm? April 3rd, yes?
  19. DIRECTV Programming
    It's nice to have VOD as a backup for several scenarios. But VOD records do expire, even if you have them on your local HDD. Depending on the rotation of the provider, it could expire very quickly (I had one expire and disappear before I got done downloading it!) before you've had a chance to...
