    Would you drop the VOOM Channels to save $10/month?

    Voom was cool when I first got it - loved MonstersHD. But how many times can they show Frankenstein, Son of Frankenstein, Wolfman vs Frankenstein, Drakula, etc. I love horror, but I would like some new shows to tide me over to the 30th.

    Who in here is moving to another cable/satellite company?

    I'm leaving but not for the price increase. I've been hoping that Dish would add the Logo channel and they haven't yet. TWC in my area beat them too it. Direct is out of the question becuase I don't want to reinvest in HD boxes. TWC also offers faster HSI than ATT DSL in my area. And there's...

    Sharing my AWFUL TWC (Dallas) Experience

    Transitions aren't always smooth. But, the grass isn't alway greener. Watch out for your cancellation fee if you ever get fed up with Direct. And get ready to pay for equipment upgrades. BTW, I'm with Dish and they just raised thier prices and I'm getting ready to go back to cable - once my...

    Dish Network to Discount OTA Antennas for HD

    Ask dish! It's their promotion. Retail price of Winegard is only $19. I'm sure Dish gets it cheaper than that.

    Dish Network to Discount OTA Antennas for HD

    HD locals look better than SD locals. I'm in the Austin area and according to the post, it qualifies. BUT, Dish says only Memphis and some other city qualify for an antenna. First, the CSR didn't even know they offered OTA eventhough I put in my address on their web site and it said I could get...

    Scary 622 Issue, Hard Drive Corrupted

    So a recording kicked off last night. The audio wasn't include. So, I waited until the show was finished recording before trying anything. I flipped channels (which usually brings back the audio) and nothing. Turned off the receiver by pressing the power button on the remote. Nothing. Then I...

    Let's face it, D* has better commercials

    Not everything I watch is recorded.

    Let's face it, D* has better commercials

    DirecTVs commercials are better and clever. Their spoofs on movies or whatnot is pretty creative. Where as last night I saw a Dish Network commercial. It had a super close of an over weight woman talking with a horrible hick accent. Yeah, that would make me want to switch (if I weren't already a...

    DIRECTV HDTV Owners: Want a Refund?

    Time Warner has an HD tier which includes things such as INHD and HDnet. But their digital cable package includes all the HD locals, Discovery HD, and TNT HD. I'd be with TWC if they'd offer Voom.

    Running HD Local Market List

    DirecTV has already added Austin, TX from what I understand - all but NBC local.

    EXCLUSIVE: AT&T HomeZone First Look

    I noticed HomeZone on ATT's website now. But, it show's it's limited to new customers. I can't wait until it's rolled out to all ATT customers as it's features look neat - being able to schedule shows from the web!!

    Bit the bullet

    TWC SA8300DVR is the only reason I left. I couldn't stand it. In Austin, TX they run SARA which is a pile of crud and slow as a seven year itch. If they do like Comcast and Cox and roll out Tivo software to their DVRs, I'd go back. The SARA interface looks like a bad Atari game. I also hated...

    MonstersHD Fans?

    I love Monsters. When I watch HD, it's usually Monsters. I love their themes espically on the weekends. Their recent undead weekend was the best.

    AT&T / SBC Website showing 942 instead of 622

    Moving to U-verse too as soon as it's ready here. Haven't seen them lay the fiber yet though.

    AT&T / SBC Website showing 942 instead of 622

    Through ATT, I don't have a comitment to Dish, just DSL. I'm happy with all the services so why not bundle and save.

    AT&T / SBC Website showing 942 instead of 622

    Yep.. when I orded from ATT they kept calling it an HD-DVR. Since they're package lineup on ATT's website lists the HD bronze, silver, gold, etc I figured I'd get a 622. I sure did.

    Dish wants me back/ they dont want me back

    Dish needs to revamp their returning customer policy. I had to leave DirecTV for a while and when I came back, they simply turned my account back on (no I didn't have it suspended, it was canceled). I got their current promo at the time - no flack. I move to ATT/Dish and they give me flack...

    622 has name based recording correct?

    when I was on DTV, their dvr's adjusted for the supersized shows automatically. I didn't have to keep that pad in. It knew that Desperate Housewives ran from 8:00 to 9:01 - that's what the guide reported. Dish's guide for the same show says 8-9. Remove Dish's "pad" and it cuts off the extra...

    Recording issues with R-15 - Call DirecTV please!

    hmmm, may be the skeptic in me but I'm sure they are fully aware of the recording issues associated with the R15 but aren't willing to admit it in public. That would be like admitting the product is a failure and in doing so could impact sales. So, they “say” they are aware of any issues...

    R15 Software Upgraded To 109A

    I have a series link for Xplay on G4. I have it set for first run only. It's recording every ding dang episode even shows from the summer which clearly are not a first run. If an episode repeats that has been previously recorded, it wont re-record it. Other shows set to record all episodes...

    R15 Software Upgraded To 109A

    I'm still at 108F. I'm giving DirecTV until after the CES to make a decision about the product. There's just too many bugs to deal with and I don't like babysitting the machine. Getting tired of it recording every episode of a show despite having it set on first runs - and they are not first run...

    Showcases never record on r-15

    I can't get anything to reliably record with the R15, much less showcases. First runs record pretty much everything including repeats. Recording repeats and first runs, the unit will skip around and record here and there. It's a total mess. All this and a $1 more a month for the DVR fee. WOOT!

    Directv Plus R15 NEW Upgrade...

    I'm still at 108F. Sure wish they'd hurry up and fix the guide issues. I'll set a Series Link for a show, set it to record all new and repeats and it still wont record but a handfull of the shows. Or, just the opposite for a show like Xplay. I'll set it for first run only and it'll record every...

    The missing Christ

    True Meaning Of Christmas? The true meaning was a pagan ritual called Saturnalia. Do a search for History of Christmas and you'll find that the pope of the time, in an attempt to bring the pagans into Christianity, hijacked their rituals – Saturnalia being one of them. Where in the Bible does...
