    Channel Master and Echostar working on new OTA DVR

    The new CH DVR has released. http://www.channelmaster.com/Products_s/329.htm#DVR+ I am rather disappointed that it only has Vudu as a streaming option. No Netflix, no Amazon, only Vudu. It is not the all-in-one solution we have been asking for. I won't be buying one.

    Official DISH Channel Request Thread

    Yes a read about that. I have Brighthouse cable and we have Heretv as a channel. Dish needs to add as a channel as those PPV fees add up using their on demand option.

    HERETV and FearNet please. Waiting for Dish to add before leaving my local cable operator which has had these channels for a couple of years.

    Channel Master and Echostar working on new OTA DVR

    Right but I plan to cancel service once that year contract is up and sell my unit. I will miss some of the TIVO features, but will save money by using the cable companies dvr. If this new CM DVR is something special I will get one. I just hope is does have all of the features and apps the...

    Channel Master and Echostar working on new OTA DVR

    Well my TIVO Premiere annual subscription ends in November. I'm not going to renew if this new K77 DVR turns out to be the all-in-one DVR we all hope it will be.

    Channel Master and Echostar working on new OTA DVR

    Yeah the high cost of TIVO equipment and fees is a negative for sure. If this new K77 has a good OTA tuner (hopefully 4 tuners) and more apps for streaming I will be eager to get one. That would put CM closer than ever to TIVO, without the high costs involved.

    Channel Master and Echostar working on new OTA DVR

    I hope they make this the all-in-one unit, something the new TIVO Roamios failed to do (left out Amazon Prime). I read the new unit will include Vudu and Pandora but we need the new K77 to also include Netflix and Amazon Prime, 2 major apps which have been missing from CM's previous units...

    Good grief I hate the new info bar on channel change!

    A couple things I have encountered since the new software is the DVR keeps recording Survivor: Phillipines but I haven't set up a timer for it or any other show on that day and time. I have to keep deleting it. Also I have timers set to record a show and it doesn't. Fortunately what has been...

    Getting ready for The Walking Dead marathon all weekend on AMC HD. Glad I switched to Bright House a few weeks ago.

    Newest HD converter?

    No the guide doesn't fill the screen, far from it. There is a great deal of wasted blank space around the guide, making it much smaller than it should be. The new black/grey/white guide is harder to read for me but it wouldn't be as bad if the guide was larger. All they need to do is...

    Newest HD converter?

    I just got Bright House installed 3 weeks ago. I requested the latest and greatest HD DVR and got the Cisco 8742HDC model. The equipment itself works great. High quality picture in HD. The software for the programming guide needs a professionally developed remake but the DVR functions work well.

    Good grief I hate the new info bar on channel change!

    I woke up this morning, turn on the DVR and there it is. New programming guide from hell. If you thought the old guide was bad, wait until you see this one folks. Whoever developed this new version needs to be fired. I just emailed a complaint to BH support. I encourage everyone which is...

    Good grief I hate the new info bar on channel change!

    Okay I just received this email from BH: Hello Friend, We’re making changes to the on-screen guide that will make it more attractive, more user-friendly, and more convenient for you to find the shows you’re looking for. Here’s a glance at what you can expect with the new Guide: A sleek, new...

    Thinking about dumping BB@Home

    Agreed. The BB at home disk service is terrible. Everything in my que always had short wait or long wait next to it and if I received 3 disks in a month I was lucky. Streaming search function cumbersome and selection of movies poor. The only thing I liked about BB was getting Universal HD...

    Good grief I hate the new info bar on channel change!

    Bright House offers high quality HD and the best selection of HD channels I have seen, compared to Dish. The DVR programming guide is the only thing about BH which is a disappointment for me. Everyone needs to keep requesting better DVR software. When I had BH installed 2 weeks ago thats...

    rain fade is killing me!

    When I had Dish I lost signal with the daily Florida thunderstorms but had OTA as back up. I remember about 8 years back I had an extra large size dish which was great. I didn't lose signal even during 3 hurricanes, even though local cable was out. I think Dish stopped offering those extra...

    Good grief I hate the new info bar on channel change!

    They really need to upgrade the software to make the programming guide more user friendly and easier to read. Just coming from being a Dish customer for many years and their excellent DVR software, it is rather a let down to see BH hasn't developed a good DVR programming guide.

    Good grief I hate the new info bar on channel change!

    My guide is the same as it has been but it does suck. They need to give us the option to run a full screen guide without wasted space and preview video on the screen.

    retention discounts for existing customers out of contract?

    I enjoyed watching it this past weekend. Watched 3 movies. Picture quality is beautiful and not chopped up and flooded with commercials like Chiller does. Loving it.

    retention discounts for existing customers out of contract?

    I cancelled Dish last week after 12 years and it was quite some work getting them to cancel. I was offered 3 months free HBO and Cinemax plus a free Roku box and a $10 off credit for 12 months. I did not accept as it still doesn't solve the problem with Dish dropping channels I like to watch...

    Ready to move to Bright House

    Thanks but I just had BH installed this morning. I requested the best HD DVRs and I got 2 of the Cisco 8742HDC model. The installer was terrific. First impressions after a couple hours: Pros: Programming - I am getting every channel that I like to watch. This is why I left Dish. I...

    Ready to move to Bright House

    After 9 years with Dish I am ready to move to BH. It would have been sooner but Dish gave me a lot of free programming to keep me from canceling and that free programming has just ended. I love Dish's DVRs and quality HD picture, but I am over their extended programming disputes and I want AMC...
