    Did you get any incentives to stay with Dish during AMC removal?

    Roku 2 XD box, $35 credit, and HBO half off for a year when Breaking Bad premiere was missed. $35 credit and half off my multi-sports package for 6 months when I missed Walking Dead premiere. I did use the credit to get the shows on Amazon.

    Hopper remote to control Roku 2?

    In lieu of buying another Harmony remote, I thought I'd just try to get my Hopper remote to get my Roku to work. I tried going through the remote wizard and looked for Roku. It had it but the code it used didn't seem to get it to work. I selected "audio device" since I didn't see any category...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I'm not sure what you mean, but I only have 1 Roku. They gave me a $35 credit on my bill ... the idea being that I can go pay for a season of TWD on Amazon and play it on my Roku box. They gave me the Roku during the Breaking Bad premiere. edit: Doh, almost as soon as I hit Post I realized...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I called Dish today about TWD and they gave me another $35 credit for my Roku box (Just like with Breaking Bad). CSR also gave me my multi-sports pack for half price for the next 6 months. I don't want to switch because I love my hopper, and Dish is making it easy to stay.

    Any Hopper billing nightmares yet?

    I just called a few minutes ago and was quoted $100 + $15 install. I have some maintenance thing on my account that I forgot about so that made the install cheaper. I should remove that later! They put a $1 hold on my credit card and I was told the $115 would be on my next bill. The puzzling...

    Dish HD

    "Herky jerky" is the best way to describe this that I've seen. Thank you for your post, that makes me feel better... at least someone has noticed the same thing. I've also noticed that stuff on ESPN (for example, the NASCAR race on Sunday) and nearly everything I watch on FOX and when my wife...

    Dish HD

    Fish-eye is a good description of the Food Network shows. My TV is in 16:9 but I'm sure that Food is doing that to their feed before sending it out! :D

    Dish HD

    Thanks for your suggestions. I looked into a professional calibration but I was thinking about trying my hand with the DVE disc first. My wife doesn't seem to notice it as much, I wonder if I am just more prone to seeing it.

    Dish HD

    I have noticed what you're talking about... almost as if it's "stretch-o-vision" but it gets worse at the sides... almost as if it is being stretched more as you get closer to the edges of the image. I also did take notice of the date of the show and have realized I can't see a show from 2005...

    Dish HD

    I know that OTA will look better than what I get from satellite or cable, since that stuff is compressed pretty heavily. However, I just recently upgraded from a 30" CRT HDTV to a 40" LCD (Samsung LN40B630). I have the auto-motion plus (Samsung's judder/blur reduction) to Clear (which is the...
