Also you can find little information here:

Like its competitors, DirecTV offers high-definition television (HDTV) and interactive services.

To handle the proliferation of bandwidth-intensive HDTV broadcasting, DirecTV rebroadcasts local HDTV stations using the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec while employing a newer transmission protocol (DVB-S2) over the newer satellites. This allows DirecTV to squeeze much more HD programming over its satellite signal than was previously feasible using the older MPEG-2 compression and DSS protocol it has been using. This technology will be gradually expanded to the existing satellites as customer equipment is replaced with new MPEG-4-capable receivers.

Receiving the channels encoded in MPEG-4 requires newer receivers, such as the H20 as well as the 5-LNB Ka/Ku dish. DirecTV has contracted with Britain's Pace Micro Technology, Korea's LG Electronics and France's Thomson to manufacture these new receivers. Pace manufactures the DirecTV Plus HD DVR (Model HR20-700, and HR21-700) and LG Electronics offers the Model H20-600 receiver, while Thomson provides the Model H20-100 and HR20-100 DVR receivers. DirecTV has admitted to software issues with some of the H20 receivers and HR20 DVRs, which have been plagued with random problems since they were released in mid-2006. DirecTV regularly released software updates for the HR20 receivers, in an effort to reduce issues to an acceptable level.

DirecTV has phased out its original TiVo-branded HD DVR, the HR10-250, which can only decode the older MPEG-2 signals. All DirecTV-delivered local HDTV stations (outside of the NYC and LA network stations) are encoded in MPEG-4. The HR10-250 cannot receive the MPEG-4 local HDTV stations in these markets but can still receive over-the-air ATSC broadcasts in these markets. After a multi-year hiatus, TiVo and DirecTV are developing a new TiVo enabled HD DVR that will be able to receive/decode DirecTV's current MPEG-4 satellite signals. Originally slated for release in 2010, no official amended launch date has been set. Both DirecTV and Tivo claim development is ongoing and the project has not been canceled.

can i know wen dz broadband will land in india?!!?o.O

SVBC channel - recording blocked

Posted: 06 Jul 2011 03:10 AM PDT

I don't think any other channels are blocked for recording. I usually keep shows (varying from sports to entertainment) for recording early in the morning, haven't faced any issue yet. Due to rains there maybe error in recording but since in your case you cannot enable recording itself I'd suggest you to get in touch with their customer service team for better assistance. Keep posted on this matter.

Complaints

I just have a small observation and recommendation:
some sub forums have very little activity and they are cluttering up the main page. I assume they can be safely deleted and transferred to others sort of section.

Samsung Bada in India
Hewlett Packard webOS
Micromax India

and in the dth section the hd/sd/recorder sections are also segregated...they can be merged too if members want.

Moderators for MTNL Broadband Forum

@kreacher10 - thanks for the vote but I will be moving out of MTNL very soon.
Actually the time has come when I am being pushed out of Mumbai so I'll have to find a new ISP.

Customer service Epic fail.

I too contacted Reliance both using the phone number as well as the web contact sheet. That was months ago. Nobody ever bothered to call me and I did not bother to persevere either.

Best Antivirus Application - Suite

Posted: 06 Jul 2011 02:07 AM PDT

I had found the simplest way. Use Genuine Windows and Microsoft Security Essential comes free with it.

So No trojan, no adware and very lighter as compared to other Antivirus.

Lappy Happy and Life Easy :)

Umm u think learning driving in India will make u adept at driving abroad? U will just learn to move the car..driving in india and other countries particularly Europe and N. America is quite different

That saying is just rubbish..how many people replying in this thread have actually driven abroad? I have driven a lot all over Europe and China/HKG in all sorts of cars..while good drivers will drive well anywhere, there is definitely a learning curve requiring an adaptation of the driving style, learning the rules etc..trust me even a good Indian driver without basic training and knowledge will drive pretty badly abroad.

umm..and most countries honor Indian licenses for abt a year (they dont know how they are made otherwise they would not be valid even for a day) If u have a valid Indian license then u can even get an Intl driving license from the transport dept., delhi which too is valid, as far as i can remember, for a year in 40 odd countries.
