  1. Hi all - I've been lurking the forums here for a few weeks since a recent move from Cali. As this is near to my heart after multiple conversations with DirecTV over the past couple of months, I thought I'd chime in.

    Depending on your receiver, DirecTV does provide the channels listed on their website in HD via satellite. I've seen this first hand - my buddy recently made the jump to HD and his new receiver has NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX in HD. Unfortunately, I personally have the HD receiver with Tivo, which doesn't integrate with their HD satellite broadcasts. I've had to install an OTA antenna, which is spotty at best and generally a frustrating piece of crap.

    According to their customer service reps, all DirecTivo HD units will be replaced by MPEG-4 models sometime this summer (July is the lastest I've heard). Unfortunately, the new receivers won't have the Tivo interface. It will instead be a generic DirecTV DVR.
