i dunno the premier everything pack instead of $99 drop it to $69 with 2 receivers then charge $4.99 for each aditional.

they are offering as a 4 month special , that apckage with nfl sunday ticket for 69.99 (sunday ticket is 69

i know its just an introductory offer, but come on make that a standard deal (excluding nfl sunday ticket) at $69

hell ill leave cable and go direct tv]]>Sep 4th 2007 1:41AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 4th 2007 5:25AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/
One thing I hate about our current HD service via cable is that HGTV and HGTV-HD are never showing the same shows.

Is satellite any better/different?]]>Sep 4th 2007 7:05AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 4th 2007 12:58PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 4th 2007 8:41AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 4th 2007 9:20AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 4th 2007 10:42AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/
I'm considering coming back to one once SciFi HD launches, but on the flip side if Comcast adds these channels and releases their subsidized tivo gear, I'd rather go that route.]]>Sep 4th 2007 11:17AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/
For Mpeg4 DVR function alone the HR20-100(or 700) is worth it. (I get abc, fox, and nbc over mpeg4 now) The external SATA port is great with 500gb hard drive prices where they're at right now. I miss the Tivo interface but I can record season passes and standard recordings much faster then with my 10-250 or my SD Directv Tivos(I have 2 of those). VOD also looks to be a great feature that's only found on the HR20s (Only the HR20-700 is testing it right now though).

BTW I've had zero freezes with the HR20-100 and have it for going on 3 months now. ]]>Sep 4th 2007 5:31PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 5th 2007 10:38AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 25th 2007 7:13AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 4th 2007 12:01PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 4th 2007 1:07PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 4th 2007 2:08PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 4th 2007 3:17PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/

I've got a Pioneer Elite set though and I'm sure their superior digital processing has something to do with my picture quality. Don't be so fast to point the finger at something that might be caused by something else entirely.]]>Sep 5th 2007 10:53AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 4th 2007 9:21PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/]]>Oct 2nd 2007 12:38PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/
I am waiting for the price of the HD Tv to come down some more. I have been keep close watch on Dishes HD offering, and watching the technical chat, they do every month or so. I am looking forward to their new hd receivers and by the time the tv prices come down more, The programing will be even better.]]>Sep 4th 2007 4:04PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 4th 2007 4:38PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 19th 2007 12:45AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 4th 2007 10:59PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 7th 2007 2:14PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/
He deprogrammed the OTA channels from the receiver.
What's up with that? Has anyone encountered this or does anyone know of any other solution to recieve the OTA channels with a B-Band converter?]]>Sep 5th 2007 8:04PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 5th 2007 8:04PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/
Don't talk about DTV Fanboys, I can and do install both, Dish has some good Ideas and dumps a lot into "features" that 5 out of 100 people need, DTV has been really good at using the KISS method and debug before deployment.(not to say the firmware upgrades don't occur) In other words they design the system for the 95% who want it installed right in the first place.]]>Sep 27th 2007 4:30AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 6th 2007 1:06AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/
I had a 700 that worked great but got corrupted taking a software update. D* replaced with a 100. I asked if i would get a 700 and they said either one, it depended on what the warehouse had. the 100 seems to work just as well.]]>Sep 7th 2007 3:19PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 7th 2007 3:25PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 7th 2007 3:51PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 7th 2007 3:54PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 8th 2007 2:28PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 8th 2007 11:26AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 11th 2007 6:09PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/

Samsung 56" dlp 1080p, PS3, Onkyo 605, 2 cerwin vega 12's, two audio source 12" floor subs, HTD center and rears, ]]>Sep 11th 2007 10:02PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/Sep 14th 2007 4:46PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/03/details-about-directvs-new-hdtv-channels-continue-to-emerge/act together much sooner as far as HD is concerned.
But given the current lineup of DISH they have a
long way to go. The new DISH HD DVD is MPEG4 and
the quality overall is excellent. I am using a
Samsung DLP 46" rear projection and an NEC DLP
projector and the both yield excellent images.
The only thing that could persuade me to move
to DIREC would be a better channel lineup and
a improved image quality. There is just not
enough content out there yet. And the back
side (studios, post houses, uplink distribution
etc) all have a ways to go to be fully 1080P
and MPEG4. Till then DISH wins, hands down!!!
Here is the DISH lineup.....ENJOY!!!!

Also would like to get another DTC210 HD turner if I can stay on current package for a while, are they still on the market?
If I lease the new HR20 for $99 can I still keep my old HD package?
Eventually want to get all the new HD programming but satisfied for now.
