MAIL FROM DALE

 

Dear Readers:

For you AOL users still having trouble receiving the Magazine here are some useful instructions that came to our reader, Adam Horowitz,   who in turn has passed them along to us:

1. Go to AOL Keyword: MAIL CONTROLS. Click NEXT.
2. Select the Screen Name you want to edit from the dropdown list.
3. Select the option for Customize Mail Controls for this Screen Name and click NEXT (depending on which version of AOL the person is using, they may just need to look under "Control Who I Get Mail From" and click on the "custom sender list" option)
4. Choose the Screen Name/E-mail Address/Domain Name that you wish to unblock from the list and click the REMOVE button.
5. Once the Screen Name/e-mail address is removed, click NEXT or SAVE (depends on what version of AOL you are using). Save your settings and close Mail Controls.

Try that formula and see how it works. _DC


Next item: A reader asked for the new prime time grid guide seperately so he doesn't need to print the whole guide just to get the grid. I thnk that is good idea and so from today on I am installing it on the web using the following URL:  www.ilovehdtv.com/dailyprimetime.html


I still have not found  time to reconstruct the story I lost yesterday that is leading us into a dialog with DirecTV. I will repeat Mike Wolls question and invite questions of your own. The magazine will be the forum in this case as it is going to DirecTV. So, send in any questions you have and we will post them for a response.

Repeating the question:

Dale,
Please ask the DirecTV tech rep why the signal has been so inconsistent for HBO-HD, HD-NET and HD-PPV the past few weeks.

I believe the signal is either over-compressed or there is a problem with the transponder on Sat B.
This is a big problem to many of us right now!

Thanks,
Mike Woll


TERRESTRIAL BROADCAST NEWS...

The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) said this week 12 more stations turned on their digital television services. That means that at least one DTV signal is available in each of the top 100 television markets.

The total number of stations now with digital transmissionis 931, up from 200 DTV stations reported just 18 months ago.

DTV signals now covers 98.67 percent of U.S. TV households in the nation. Additionally 79.66 percent of U.S. TV households are in markets that have five or more digital stations, and 50.81 percent are in markets with eight or more broadcasters sending digital signals.


Note on timing: The added formatting for the grid proved to be a little tricky but I have now streamlined the process and will seek to have the Guide out by the East Coast by 6:00 am. That means it has to leave here at 3:00 in the morning. I am aware that it arriving after 9 or so makes it less useful for your planning purposes.


Finally: With the ATT domain being dropped in favor or Comcast many email address changes are occurring. It would be of enormous help if you would make your email address changes by going to: http://ilovehdtv.com/hdtvmagazine/change.html. It is a very easy two entry process--the address you are leaving and the one you are now using. Thank you.

Dale
