LOL, thanks birdog, but this thread wouldn't have survuved without you.

Many of those that got the high def from directv for $399 called and got a credit for at least $100 so maybe you should call the customer retention reps and see what they'll do for you. It won't hurt to try. I'm sold on this one, and the new HDTivo will be out soon too.

Re: What is the difference between HDTV and EDTV

Has anyone here recently ordered the HD package yet? If so, tell us about it. I hear the Superbowl in 1080i was nothing short of amazing.

My turn will be at the beginning of March so if you don't tell I will.

The HD package consists of only 4 channels, of which 2 of those i actually watch. There's discovery HD, HDnet movies (great channel), HDnet, and ESPN-HD (i watch this of course). it's $10.99 as far as the superbowl goes, that wasn't on the HD-package, you would have to pick that up through your local cbs affiliate. the only way to do that is through an antenna. Unfortunately DirecTV doesn't do HD-locals because it would eat up too much bandwidth, thus degrading the picture quality on most of the other channels. So until they can put more birds (satellites) up there, you're just gonna have to pull those in through the antenna

Welcome to the glory that is HD-tv. i've heard that adelphia has problems, you may be waiting a while to get the channel that truly shows off the power of HD-tv. CBS, that's always the hardest local channel to get. I'm praying for you though
