The whole ruse by vader and overexaggerated reactions over there was just to compensate for the boredom on another month's extension. It was fun while it lasted. Don

It will be interesting to see if the price increase is a setup for additional MRV fees 2nd quarter when MRV is released nationally. The price increase seems significant enough that MRV should be included within the price increase, but I doubt it. Don

The Atlantis mission to Hubble in October will be the first shuttle to be outfitted with an HD camera as announced by lead flight director Tony Ceccacci in his press briefing. The station has a single HD camera which has been used intermittently. There will be a Nasa HD feed available during...

One vote for NASA channel, definitely. I predict NASA will go HD September 30, 2010 (wait, that is the official retirement date of the STS !). -Don

That $100 price drop in the ad was the old price drop at the start of the year from $299 to $199. Don

All I can say is that after watching the MWSN commercials berating Dish & Directv for the last year, is that Mountain West, you better not clown around with standard definition broadcasts. Don

Expect Blu prices to be halved in two years. Do not expect PS3 prices to be halved in two years. There are just too many reasons for this. PS3 is just not getting the economies of scale the PS2 got (Wii is just too popular). The standard cost is still way too high, actually at or above...

Damn you Time Warner... I bought the HP HD DVD box set and now won't be able to get 6 & 7 on HD-DVD. Damn you Time Warner... Blu fans take it easy on us. It was indeed a bad day for HD-DVD fans. Don

I'm only sniffling a little now. Need Cartoon Network HD. We will have it within the next few weeks. I'm amazed the database guys fixed their problem in less than a week. I guess that repair ticket got moved to the front of the list. I honor the master crow eater Questioner. So, does...

My hat's off to Scott. We were told exactly like it is. That is the type of information I am looking for. Hopefully the D* side of this site will continue to grow and become as popular as the E* side. Don

When you set channel 570 to record at 4 am on Thursday and you get nothing recorded.

If you click on showings, the announcement appears to be delayed until Monday. It has been a bad week for D* starting with the bust of an Emmy party that they had. Don

Yes! Last night I soldered the previously nationally backordered 82 pf cap into my F38310 (after replacing 3 high voltage diodes about 3 weeks ago). Turned it on, no smoke, great stable picture. My deflection power supply is fixed (at least for now). HR 20 feeds the F38310. Waiting for...

I got my 5 LNB and HR20 in June for the F38310 and moved the HR10-250 downstairs to take care of the Panny 900. But my F38310 went up in smoke last week. NNNNOoooooo! After all this time waiting for D*. Since college tuition bills are due next week for the 2 youngest ones, I'm resorting to...
