Alrighty. I know this topic has been touched upon in muddled bursts elsewhere (here at SatGuys and on AVSforum), but looking for a clear, concise "here's the cause of the problem, and here's the robust solution". Apparently many LCD panel HDTVs utilize builds/technology that can cause...

Looks like I'd have to pay $20 x 2 or 3 mo to jump to America's Top 200 from my Dish America pack to add AMC, just for 'The Walking Dead'. Or wait and rent the 'season pass' for $15 on iTunes or Amazon Prime. Or am I missing another option?

My 722 in the 'mancave' has updated to show the Movie Pass interface, but so far, my upstairs 622 has not, still shows Dish Platinum etc and wondering if I'm missing access to several features/content until it does. Any idea on when I can expect the update to hit--or can I initialize it...

So, as a longtime happy (mostly ;)) Dish sub, and also now currently a pleased Blockbuster-by-Mail sub, I'm wondering what the new union of the two services/companies will bring. The usefulness of both the studio content deals AND the brick-and-mortar locations seems promising, as does the...

Did a quick search, didn't see any news from Dish Network on if/when to expect 3D offerings from them. 3D being all the buzzworthiness these days, and D* being all 'in yer face' about their eagerness to bring some. Anyone have the scoop on E*3D?

As a returning Dish HD sub--was denied service through line-of-site issues and have since moved into a new city/home, we thought that the TurboHD Gold package of channels would be our best value. We'd thought about other service providers, but Dish was good to us, and I can't wait to re-fire up...

Alright. We're closing on a new home in a week...and one remaining conundrum is what the route for TV/Internet/Phone service should be. Like to go back to Dish, have a mod 622 I'd love to fire up again--and the HD pack sounds like a good fit for our viewing needs. But, we were forced to...

So I'm curious about Chicago-area Eastern Arc installs...I was a very satisfied Dish customer myself until LOS issues at my new home (trees to south and west) forced me to Comcast. Lots of questions: How did the install go? Feel like you're missing anything--i.e. getting all your locals? Did...

:eek::( I know WHY Microsoft is doing the big revamp of the Xbox 360 dashboard interface...but their aesthetic tactic still turns my stomach. I think that there are a 100 ways that they could be going about updating the lookand streamlining the navigation--but the chosen 'kiddicons' approach...

Alrighty, so I was a happy E* sub until the 16th, when, after moving to our new home and attempting satellite installs (both E* and subsequently D*) left us with persistent insurmountable line-of-sight issues. After almost 10 years, hello again to cable. Well, admittedly, I was a little...

Wow. I'm still in shock. My wife and I just moved into our new house Friday and, of course, I had Dish set for mover install 8am the next day, sharp. I don't know why it never clicked, looking at the trees in the neighboring property, that line-of-sight might be an issue--but it is, BIG time...

Red ring of death, 10:45pm CST. Thought it might be having 'issues' when the screen out-of-the-blue froze and went disorto-grid on me during playback of 'I am Legend' last weekend, but I unplugged and did a reseat of the hard drive and all, fortunately, went OK after that (i.e. we were able to...

So we move into our first house May 16. And, while I've been mowing our 4-unit condo's small yard the past 4 years, this will be MY yard for the first time, and I'll be needing the necessary gear. So, I read up in Consumer Reports and was curious about the electric mowers and snow blowers...

Quick impressions from this years NAB convention in Las Vegas: 1) HD is SOOO the standard now, it's not news/hype-worthy anymore. We've turned a corner folks. Now, it's going to be all a buzz about 3-D. 3-D, as in duck, dodge and weave at the things you'd swear you could reach out touch in...

So, at long last, 10 months and 4 near misses in potential home buys later, we closed on our first house this past Monday. We're having some work done over the next few weeks (carpet, painting, light carpentry, master bath overhaul) and move in on May 9th. Of course, the big thing is having...

Alright, full disclosure...I'm a repeat Southwest customer and have been for years. My satisfaction with their consistent service and high impression of how they've run their company for 3+ decades also led me to buy a small chunk of stock a few years back. That being said, I've watched the...

I just spent a much non-productive Sunday afternoon the couch playing "Mass Effect." What a great game. It struck me, once I got through the Citadel phase and out into the open exploration (and onto a planet surface in my ATV), that it seemed eerily familiar on some level. Then it dawned on...

And I'm not pushing this just because I got the first question in the gate. John Falcone, pretty sensible fellow, is taking live inquiries in an Q & A going on right now over at CNet...some decent questions asked already, I have to say ;)! John Falcone, home theater editor Live! - CNET Ask...

A good bud bought me Guitar Hero III (PS3) for Xmas. Very fun. Had an ever better time playing the PS2 version of the 80s Edition of Guitar Hero. Now, I'm wondering if they'll come out w/ add-on material like this for GH3 via the Sony Store? Anyone? Those 80s tracks were the anthems...

I've no qualms keeping my discs (30+) and continuing to enjoy them. In fact, I'll probably continue to buy more as HD-DVDs get price-slashed (as I did this week on DeepDiscount). As a purple owner of both formats, I know that the qualitative differences are near negligible when it comes to...

Yep. That's what the article says. iSuppli seems to back up what other trades like EGM are saying...the PS3 could be on its way back in the race in a big way. Hmm. Electronista | PS3 said to outsell Xbox in 2008, crack 20m in 2011 And it looks like January shows that trend may be starting...

I had a really good experience w/ Logitech customer service/tech support a while back that I'd been meaning to post about but kept forgetting to. We've LOVED our Harmony 880 remote since I bought it a couple of months after it was first released. Totally worth every penny--few investments...

So, I've used the fantastic software by Nullriver in the past. Recently they've been on a real tear w/ some great inexpensive solutions for serving your iTunes music collection, iPhoto pic library and movies from a remote Mac to your next gen gaming console & A/V center. I've been running...

Alright, so I stumbled across the positive reviews and, coupled w/ a desire to nab some gaming titles that are truly unique to the Playstation 3 platform, ordered "Eye of Judgement" and some booster card packs for the holidays. Looks like a fun, multiplayer, unusual game dynamic...coupling...

Dolby Volume is THE technology that I'm most excited about in the realm of home audio. Anyone who's been driven crazy by wildy fluctuating/unpredictable volume levels when switching sources or channels (or hit with loud commercials during program breaks) understands where I'm coming from here...
