I was looking forward to another Danielle goes picking episode tomorrow night! Originally Posted by ke4est

I hate to confess this but I'm kinda sorta considering going to cable. The problem is, I despise TWC. Their picture quality is c**p.
It looks like they are playing back 1980's VHS tapes and sending the signal over barbed wire fences.
I don't really want a pizza dish, those are cheesy and I don't think they would hook into my home theater pc. I've read the cable company will but then you're back to VHS and barbed wire quality..
I want to record shows in HD but I guess no one will allow you to do that these days with all that DRM stuff...
Oh well.. I'll just sit here and curse in the dark until the last channel goes black. I sit.

Dee,
I know it is blasphemy to some, but if it doesn't come back and your thinking about cable, History is in the Welcome pack with Dish for 15.00 a month. Welcome pack is SD not HD but it is pretty good value for $15 a month.
Find a used 311 or newer receiver and you wouldn't be under contract to Dish then or get a 211 HD receiver and pay Dish a one time $40 activation fee for the software and add an external hard drive to it and the 211 becomes a dvr. .

edit:
You can also stream episodes on History.com. I don't when they add the most recent episodes.

The thing that really gets me is that you have to subsidize a ton of c**p channels that you'll NEVER watch and many of them I object to their very existence.
I just want a small, select handful of channels, in HD. Most of them, I do not want, at all..
It's like you're starving to death but the only food for sale is just slightly contaminated with poop. It's ok, you can eat it if you pick around the poop. And they still get your money.
I guess I'm just a cheap bh...

Proud Staff MemberWelcome Pack is actually a good deal. It has some channels that are in the higher packages on Dish yet is 14.99
your locals are included (as DIsh carries all markets now) and if you have a HD receiver they are in HD in most cases
I mean TBS, HGTV, History, Food, MSNBC. Yeah a bunch of religious/shopping channels are included but hey thats what favorite lists are for (to block them out)
And when Dish has a freeview you get that too. Right now I have Style, Hallmark MOvie, Great American Country and a couple others right now
Its one of the best bargains out thereWinegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB.... GeoSatPro 36" dish with Sadoun dual KU LNB... Coolsat 5000 on motorized.... Manhattan RS1933....Directv HR34 (yes the 5 tuner monster) GeoSatPro 200 to aim dishes.... few receivers not set up yet

Ok, this is the ijjit question of the day. How does one record TV shows on those DBS tuners to keep? VHS is dead and gone, thankfully.
Recording on my PC is as simple as pressing the red button. And I can keep it forever if I want. Do they make a recorder to plug into a DBS tuner OR, can you plug a DBS tuner into your PC and record shows that way?
Forgive me my ignorance, I've never had one so I do not know how they work.
Thanks!
