    61.5 Signal Lost?

    My parents called me and told me that they lost a lot of channels. I went over there and they got no signal from 61.5 at all. I can't go on top of the roof cause we got too much snow. I think I tell them to go with comcast and drop dish completely. They lost signal during bad snow storm and...

    The List of Blu-Ray Disc titles

    Just out of curiosity. How Does HD-DVD players doing ? Is the sale of the players are what they expected ? If neither sales of Blu-ray nor HD-DVD are what they expected they might go back to the drawing board and come up with the Combo that can play both. That would be nice.

    Who will win? HD DVD or Blu-ray?

    I really think it will be a long battle before we know which one will win. We can't really compare them to the Betamax. Betamax can only play movie and record TV programs while both Blu-ray and HD-DVD are not just for playing movies. They're both can be used to store data on the PC side and...

    Who will win? HD DVD or Blu-ray?

    A lot of poeple are still clueless about HD thing. One of my co-worker has an Projection HDTV for almost two years and didn't even take advantage of it because she didn't know that it's HD-ready. I told her to bring the manual book in so I can look at it. All she told me was that her TV is...

    Who will win? HD DVD or Blu-ray?

    I also agree with that. DVD became sucessful much faster becasue we can just plug in our TV and play. Poeple want the DVD so much they even buy the RF converter for those who don't have RCA jack and S-video input in the back of their TV. Most poeple will hold out to buy the HD set first...

    Dish 1000 and 129 in Southern California

    That's what he was telling Dish people when he called to activate my receiver. They were giving him a hard time that he didn't install Dish 1000. Out of curiosity I ask him why and he told me that you don't get good signal in new england area with Dish 1000.

    Your HD DVD/Blu-ray purchase plans?

    I'm kind of leaning toward Blu-ray due to the large capacity. But I will not buy the player though. I will wait for the recorder to come out. I already have HD-DVR to record my HD shows, no hurry to get one right now. I will wait until the recorder and media are dirt cheap then I'll buy one.

    Dish Network Billing Department.

    Well, after the third phone call. They finally got it right. May be it's because I ask for her name. She could give out her last name due to company's policy but she gave me her Operator ID instead. But boy, I didn't have to go through all those problems. $49 for installation and dish which...

    Dish Network Billing Department.

    Still better than none right ? If it wasn't for the contract I'd drop them like a hot potato already. With Comcast I even get $25 off my bill for 16 months if I were Satellite owner. Or I can go with Direc TV and let's hope the service is better. If they don't shape up that 13 millions...

    I had just upgraded my HD package to HD Dish Silver package with them. Per online page I only have to pay 49 dollars and that's include Dish and installation.

    New HD Channels already showing up

    My parents are in the same boat as yours... Cable just sound so much nicer and nicer. I just happen to go to Comcast site and they even offer discount if you stay with them for so many months if you're switching from Dish to cable.

    New HD Channels already showing up

    I'm afraid they gonna tell me to get rid of the dish and go with Cable instead... Since they already have internet with them if they budle it up it might come out better deal than dish.

    I was on the phone with Dishnetwork rep and he told me that if I want to upgrade to HDTV I can lease the receiver and have to sign up with the $99 something package for a year. If my memory serve me correctly. Couple years ago I have to get a another dish to point to a different Satellite in...
