None of us have any sort of background in jounalism, so we do our best to get the information across with as little distraction as possible -- including linguistics. As with Engadget, Digg, Slashdot, or any other site where you can comment on articles, some people enjoy the metacommentary more than the content of the article. Thanks for reading and commenting anyway, and apologies for our mistakes.]]>Sep 25th 2006 1:16PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/

The Mpeg4 conversion seems to be the only saving grace for DirecTV but the H20(D* branded DVR), ridiculous looking satellite and getting rid of Tivo are more thorns in my side. Sigh.. looks like D* is headed for a rough spot.]]>Sep 25th 2006 9:45AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/
I wouldn't go back to cable from DTV if the gave it to me FREE. But when Verizon drops FIOS at my home I'm gone.]]>Sep 25th 2006 9:51AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/Sep 25th 2006 9:59AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/
I'd much rather get my HD news fast and quick than have to wait for an editor to read/review every post. Who reads for grammer anyways? ]]>Sep 25th 2006 10:30AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/
I don't "read for grammer (sic)", whatever that means, but I assume that a professional writer will take some pride and use a spell checker. Just my 2 cents.]]>Sep 25th 2006 10:35AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/Sep 25th 2006 11:03AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/
Is there a limitation on how much hi def content you can carry?]]>Sep 25th 2006 11:34AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/There is a limit to the amount of bandwidth they can send throught the current satellite technology they have. It's the equivilent of saying you want the same amount of water coming out of a fire hose to come out of your garden hose. The hose just isn't big enough to handle the same amount of water. DirecTv is throwing up more satellites, and converting to Mpeg4 compression to try to get more bandwidth, but it takes time, and until it happens they will continue to have thes issues.]]>Sep 25th 2006 12:25PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/Sep 25th 2006 3:02PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2006/09/25/directvs-magical-disapearing-high-def-station/
