Got a question for you Stonecold... I've been with DirecTV since 1998...but for the first 7 years, it was through Pegasus (DirecTV provider). DirecTV only recognizes my anniversary date from 2005. Is there any way of updating my account record to reflect my time with Pegasus? That would put...

POSSIBLE GOOD NEWS... I saw this posted over at DBS Talk...might be good news for those of us H23 owners that are still awaiting an update... "My H23-600 had the older upgrade of 0x434d, 18 Dec 2009, checked it this morning, and it had an upgrade of 0x43a9, 4 May 2010 @ 3:14am. Haven't found...

Maybe you missed his first line, "...Ok this is the story. Let me say up front i am a Directv customer and have been for 6 years. My parents have been with dish FOR 14 years." It appears as both of them are established customers. I can't say that this happens to everyone when the speak to...

Just got this information from the DBS Talk forum... "Read on D* tech forum that they are having trouble with the MRV on the H23s." Guess we wait until this is remedied...

Would checking with DirecTV technical support buy us anything, as far as seeing if they know what's going on with the H23-600s not updating as of yet?

I'm in Dutchess County, NY, so I get them as well. Without D-TV (or cable, FIOS, etc.) I would not get any OTA (damn those mountains ;) ). Just curious...has anyone noticed a difference in PQ between the "local feeds" (Channels 2, 4, 5, and 7) and the "national feeds" (Channels 390, 392, 396...

Any reports from anyone on their H23-600? I'm on the East Coast (upstate NY) and still NO update. :(

I live in Dutchess County, NY and have an H23-600...last updated on 10/1/2009. Anyone on the East Coast/NY area get this update as of yet? Without checking in the "System" menu for a date and version...is there anyway to look at the receiver and see if an update was downloaded and installed? I...

I agree with you on most of your observations...just don't call Asians "Orientals", unless you want your butt kicked! ;) Objects are "oriental"...people are "Asian". I'm not Asian myself, but figured I'd offer some free advice. :)

Is that still the case, even if you have the "Protection Plan"?

That is...unless you have a service plan. With a service plan, you wouldn't have your contract extended with a receiver replacement and/or upgrade. Only if you modify your program package.

As far as I know, the Protection Plan covers at least the "leased" receivers. I had one D-10 and one H20-100 (both leased) and am keeping the plan "just in case". ;)

Sorry for the repeat thread...I just realized that this might have been posted a week ago... I must have missed that... I had followed the series when it first ran, but hope that it continues on HDNet...Spike is running it as well, but NOT in 1080i and not as nearly as great PQ as HDNet.

I was surfing past HDNet today and saw "Enterprise" listed as running at 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM today. I watched it as well as checked future showings. Looks like it'll run Monday through Saurday from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. What a pleasant surprise! I guess HDNet came to terms with Universal for...

Happy New Year! Does anyone know if we will see any new HD channels in the next week or so?
