NEW YORK, ENGLEWOOD, Colo., and FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RadioShack Corporation (NYSE: RSH), EchoStar Communications Corporation (Nasdaq: DISH) and SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) today announced the formation of a satellite entertainment alliance that positions...

If you lock out channel 100, it will help with the accidental pressing of the DISH button. Instead of starting the interactive program, a box will pop up and say the channel is locked. If you decide to use the interactive program, just punch in the numbers 100 from the keypad.

From Multichannel News web site: "Ergen told reporters EchoStar will probably hike its rates for the programming packages this year, and the new rates may be tied to a renewal EchoStar is negotiating with Viacom Corp" Though not chiseled in stone, sounds like it's going to happen. For full...

Seems funny how Echostar may be suing it's potential owners. Pure speculation but an interesting read: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=2064278

Same problem here. I thought it was just on my computer. I have to log in everytime I visit the site.

Last night's chat was just another example of Dish strategy. New equipment offer, no new programming. (real enticing isn't it? :? ) Besides, they delay equipment to work out the bugs, but they still seem to creep in. When ever a question is asked about programming, we get the stock answer...

I know lifting the mirror fee is a pipe dream but, I can bring at least 10 cable customers to Dish if they were to lift those fees. The only reasons they stay with cable is for the local weather channel and having multiple TV's hooked up with no extra charges. The stock reports seem to dwell...

:shock: Nice ;)

Great scheduling isn't it? I have the same problem in Roanoke, Va. :x MLB should be ashamed for having both games scheduled at the same time. :oops: Fox should have designated a channel for a specific game. :idea: FOX+MLB=DUMB

Wonder if this means an agreement with YES has been reached? It would seem weird to show all baseball teams except the Yankees.

angiodan, Thanks for the help. I didn't want to sink money into the 811 and then have to spend more for extras. When I ask questions at the local retail establishments, they want to nickle and dime me to death.

I am considering buying an 811 and was wondering if I would need anything extra to receive my OTA HDTV programming? I have the 37 element outdoor antenna from Radio Shack and it states it's HDTV ready. I also have an HD ready TV. I have read that the 811 will have the adapters for OTA and...

Anyone know if the Sky+ box uses Tivo software or does Sky write their own? If they write their own then that sounds like Dish. If they bring their technology to Direct then Tivo people are going to be very unhappy. Of course all of this is pure speculation on my part.

This site looks great and is off to a remarkable start. Here's to more information. :D You can never have enough. 8) Good Luck!!!
