    Dish to Drop Weather Channel?

    I loved it last time when dish launched there own weather channel as a ploy! Funny thing was it was better because it actually had weather!

    Good bye to dish for now.

    This site has been a great help in understanding satellite, unfortunatly when I moved into my new apartment I wasn't able to get signal. So instead I'm stuck with Time Warner. Which to tell you the truth has made it pretty clear to me I was getting ripped at Dish. I get more HD channels with...

    Beyond frustration!!!!!

    "Oh, btw, Dish says there is no such thing as them not carrying a Red Sox game not broadcast in HD. Comcast and Direct TV must be upconverting standard def games into HD. Amazing." LOL. Right. I will admit, I cant remember the last time the reds were only in SD. Either way, dont deal with...

    "Moving" has this happen to anyone?

    In my county I get Dayton, OH locals. However when they launched the Lima, Oh which are closer I still get Dayton. Even though the online account says I live in Lima's DMA. Not that I care, Lima's arent in HD. So with my Antenna I get 2 different sets of locals.

    Dish not grounded

    I worked for Time Warner and can say that grounding was usually something that was if it's close do it. As it's been mentioned, you can run grounding wire all over because that defeats the purpose. Also a house is only supposed to have 1 grounding rod. Which you never know how far away that is...

    Proper way to strip/terminate RG6?

    Most tools I've seen will pretty much tell you where to strip. The main I've always looked for is that the when you peel back the layers the middle is intact with foil surrounding the center core. As for the the length of the center, at least in for cable you dont wont it to extend past the...

    Thanks for cutting off Sports Night in HD on 429!

    Dont stop the campaign Bob! I too will not accept the "goto Direct for Sports" anwser. It's lame and lazy. There's no reason Dish couldn't offer them in HD. Why does Dish have to be inferior to Direct when it comes to this instance. Sure the NFL season ticket stuff doesn't make sense for them...

    Games in HD but not on Dish in HD (Part time HD)

    Interesting that they did that. Using one channel to cover several FoxSports channels saving bandwith space. Glad to have the game in HD either way. It's a shame this solution wouldn't work all of the time, we might get more games in HD. I'm asumming there would be an issue with commercials.

    Games in HD but not on Dish in HD (Part time HD)

    DISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I checked yesterday to see if the Reds/Pirates game on FSNOH was in HD tonight and it was listed. Tonight though there is no REDS game in HD. Why do you have to get my hopes up? Enough already!

    Dish what are you waiting for add full time HDRSN's ALLREADY!

    I wont deny it would be a cheat but I dont think so for the same reasons your talking about. If I want to stretch the picture I'll do that with a remote. I'm talking broadcast 16:9 (not stretched) in SD. Plenty of Local News places are cheating HD News for there views by going to 16:9 SD. Very...

    Dish what are you waiting for add full time HDRSN's ALLREADY!

    THey could at least put all RSN's in Widescreen SD. That would at least eliminate the black bars. I dont get why they cant do that for all SD channels anyway. 4:3 is clearly in the past. 16:9 is the future, HD or SD doesn't matter.

    Well just got a look at my install

    LOL, that was hilarious. Lick the cable to find out which one goes to the satallite! Reminds of the time I was installing cable in a house and I had to connect a phone line near a 8 person hot tub in the living room. Even funnier was the fact it had tri-pods for cameras setup all around it.

    MLB Network campaign against DishNet

    Yea it's interesting Sky Angel has it. Granted only in SD but the other thing is no Extra Innings. So apparently they are willing to give it out without EI. It stinks that they arent treating everybody the same.

    Dish network called me a thief and cant live in a 2 floor house!

    Isn't auditing as much about protecting the company from fines as it is preventing satellite television theft?

    Charles Ergen Pay Drops By 92.5%

    Is it possible that Charlie actually cares about the company enough to take less money? Whatever the case. this story should be more common. I'm sure there's some bonus and other contractual stuff he gets money for but still, that is a low low low salary for the head of a satellite television...
