    HD picture quality not as good as before?

    ditto here. i noticed it as well. after losing voom the overall pq seems to have taken a hit. voom was by far the best. but even before that it seems like most of the hd channels were better then they are now. i thought it was my tv too.

    Billing Question - Have you seen this?

    my bill was also like that when i first joined, kind of up and down as they applied some discounts all at once, and others over the 6 month freebie period. i had a hard time figuring it out too, but now that it is (i think) stable, as I just hit 6 months, it seems about right. from what i know...

    Baseball, Hot Dogs and Eastern Arc

    i live in chicago and would be upset about that. i already have a dish 1000 pointing to 110, 119, and 129, is a triple lnb not enough! i think my wife would flip if we had to put up another dish to point to 61.5. it would be nice to have the games in hd, but i also have an OTA antenna so it is...

    what is "DISH NETWORK DVR SERVICEFEE" on my bill?

    this entry, "DISH NETWORK DVR SERVICEFEE" is for 5.98 on my bill. shouldn't it be covered under the "DISHDVR ADVANTAGE - YOU SAVED $3.98" which is 39.99? i'm confused by this 6 dollar fee. its also NOT the dish home protection plan DHPP, which is a seperate entry. any thoughts?
