FWIW...I called AT&T Broadband this afternoon to see if I could get any specific information regarding the press release from 5/9/02 about them offering HBO, Showtime, FOX and NBC in HD this Summer.
I didn't get any dates from them, other than "this Summer".
I did, however, find out what equiptment they will be using. The nice lady told me the receiver that they would be renting to us was a Motorolla HDD 200 ( http://gicout50.gic.gi.com/GIHomepa.nsf/?Open ).
I've never heard of it, but then again I'm really a newbie to this type of stuff...so a google.com search showed me the unit in all it's glory. To bad it didn't have an input for my OTA antenna.
Anyone familiar with this receiver? Pro's...Con's...comments? complaints?
Just curious to hear...
Tom
PS...the color seems horrible on my Sony SAT HD100 when I view OTA broadcasting....I'm thinking of returning the Sony and considering the Hughes HIRD E86, if I can find one in the $450 range...from reading various posts, the Hughes seems a safe bet....the DTC100 seems nice as well, but I'd have to kick in another $100 or more for the converter...
