Any way to actually Pause Hulu Desktop through MCE remote? It's a good thing I am on a 30 day trial with them...not to impressed with Hulu. Adds? pfff .., no Full Seasons? pfffff.., not impressed.

Sign up for Kartina.TV I actually just did today.., you'll get LOADs of channels! They even have HD and 3D channels. Dish cant even touch that .., for ~$19/m I see they have a lots of English movies.., all with Russian translation, however I also read that you can turn off the translation and...

Interesting article about IPTV: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/tv_in_real_dime_ph0GiKk7rC9agDUEkHae2I

Found this.. https://www.3click.tv/index.php More like Hulu.., but it's like $20/m for shows... Don't think that's worth it overall, but they do have complete seasons unlike Hulu.

So I am in the process of cutting my Dish cord by the end of the month and looking to switch completely to cheaper alternatives. My house is already pre-setup to do video distribution. I have a 4x4 HDMI Matrix in a central room where I have HDMI (+IR) over CAT6 running to every relevant...

Thanks I'll check it out! It might work in my situation also as I have an HDMI distribution matrix running through the house and that BT remote would help a lot!:) Probably going to fire off a trial of Kartina tomorrow and try to follow some half Russian half English guides to get my W7 MCE...

Try http://www.kartina.tv You just get to buy a box unless you have one of the devices that can play it already and it should be about $15/m for 100+ channels. Our friends use it and it no complaints. I am actually planning on pulling the trigger on it shortly. Now if only I could find a US IPTV...

My biggest problem is that Dish requires their Basic package if you want any International packages. So like my grandparents they were forced to get Basic + International. Now they lost their main reason they went with Dish (NTV) and they are still under contract. They don't even watch anything...

So DISH had (still listed on their website) 2 Russian packages: #1 NTV America for $19.99/month and #2 Russian MegaPack (includes NTV) for $24.99/month As of October 1st NTV apparently ceased broadcasting (moving to DirectTV) and DISH duplicated one of the other channels in the package in...

I think you pasted the same link :) So far my receiver been stable since I disconnected my Panasonic plasma. Ouch! Dish?

Hmmm... Well, my TV setup is like this. 722k to 4x4 Matrix with TV1=Philips LCD, TV2=Olevia LCD, TV3=Panasonic plasma. I have no TV2 output on 722k. Interestingly enough I do believe that the problem started the day I got the new TV plugged in via HDMI. It ran via Component for the first few...

Hello, I need some advice on trying to figure out what is going on with my receiver. I had a 722k for at least 1yr+, never any issues. All of a sudden it started rebooting randomly etc.. until one day it never would pass the Dish start-up screen. Dish sent me a new 722k and it worked fine...

I was more referencing that each provider needs to start making a BT remote for their devices. BTW, LG Magic Motion is nothing new.. Gyration had that years back (for Media Center)... got 2 of them somewhere here.

IR to UHF is what I am already using. Was fine at ~25ft., but now with insulation and next drywall I have a feeling it will be shortened even more.

I understand that I am in a minority on this. :), sux! "Only Dish would know" but I think their manufacturing cost savings would be sizable if they went with just 1 remote for all receivers. (Depends on the cost of putting BT modules into receivers) or heck even WiFi would help, all receivers...
