BTW to fix the tuning preference from SD to HD update your software. Press the reset button next to the card and when the blue screen comes up tellin you your reciever is "starting up" type 02468 on your remote. That will force a software download.]]>Sep 26th 2007 10:26AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/Sep 26th 2007 11:20AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/

1) Good help available at http://dbstalk.com

2) The HR10-250 (DirecTV's HiDef TiVo box) cannot receive these channels. Only the HR20 DVR or the H20 or H21 HD receivers can.

3) BBCs must be attached inline on the back of the box and a 5-LNB dish must be installed.

4) The most common installation issue is obsolete multiswitches. If you have more than 4 total DirecTV cables in the house, you have a multiswitch somewhere before the dish cables split off to the various rooms. According to posts, some contract installers have been installing older multiswitches as late as yesterday.

ONLY THE ZINWELL WB68 (or the WB616) WILL WORK. I don't care what the installer or DirecTV's customer service people tell you. ONLY THE ZINWELLS will work with the new satellite.

Thanks. I couldn't resist and went home for lunch just to check my box and the guy did install the BBC. I also checked and he installed the Zinwell WB68.

I believe the new channels showed up sometime last night around 11pm Eastern. I was trying to edit my favorites when it changed to the "downloading software" screen. I thought I pressed the buttons on the remote too fast that it launched something (there's quite a lag on the H20). After that the GUI fonts changed to something very clear, and the channel list on the favorites menu scrolled smoothly. Plus I've seen some of the channels on the "new" list working last night.]]>Sep 26th 2007 1:40PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/
Some folks are not receiving all the HD movie channels, such as StarzHD, even though they subscribe to that movie package. The solution is for customer service to flip HD authorization off and on. Somehow that causes the full HD package to be enabled.]]>Sep 26th 2007 1:47PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/
I really want Sci-Fi. I wish it was part of the original distribution. They say it will be in October, but knowing DirectTV, it will be October 31st instead of October 1.

Move the BBC on that line to the far end of the far diplexer. This works for reasonable cable run lengths. This way the BBC converts the frequency before the diplexed segment, avoiding interference. But line loss increases. YMMV.]]>Sep 26th 2007 4:30PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/Sep 26th 2007 3:17PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/Sep 26th 2007 5:26PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/Sep 27th 2007 11:09AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/Sep 27th 2007 12:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/Sep 26th 2007 5:26PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/Sep 27th 2007 2:14PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/Sep 27th 2007 2:14PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/Sep 27th 2007 3:05PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/Sep 27th 2007 6:02PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/26/directv-launches-21-new-hd-channels/Sep 28th 2007 4:10PM
