    Was DISH Robbed at CES?

    Haven't paid attention to CNET in years because of their obvious bias towards any smartphone not running iOS.

    Can I back out of a new 24-month contract? (re: broken Hopper)

    Satellite AV Contest - GEOSATpro microHD - Enter to Win - Drawing on 6/11/2012

    Me and my bro were stuck in Yuma AZ a few summers growing up, so our idea of fun was sitting in front of the television playing Atari 2600 (yes, I'm that old!) as it was way too hot outside to play until the sun went down.

    Verizon about to throw some money away behind Windows Phone

    Sounds fair, to each his own. No, I'm not going to be one of those "how can you not like (mobile OS platform) over (another mobile OS platform) - it's sooo much smoother & easier to use" kind of people, but to say it sucks is kinda strong. I've owned iOS/Android handsets and even though I...

    Microsoft confirms Dual-Core and LTE Windows Phones coming in the future

    Just got an HTC Arrive today & upgraded it to "mango". So far, BEST MOBILE OS, EVER, PERIOD. I've owned various Android, IOS, and 'Berrys - it's not even close.

    Found a BIRDOG USB PLUS

    I love my BD Ultra, but again, 99% of what I deal with is DBS.

    is this possible?

    Install is basically done - I installed/peaked/grounded 3 lnb SWM dish and ran cable to rooms where needed. I work for a company that, among other things, does D*/E* commercial installs.

    is this possible?

    The person I'm attempting to do this for absolutely doesn't sign long term contracts for anything - cellphone service, home alarm system, nothing.

    is this possible?

    Is there any way to set up D* service, using new equipment purchased online, installed by the homeowner, and not needing to sign a two-year contract?

    ESPN Thursday Night Football Blackout or mistake?

    Nope, here in San Diego when the Chargers have played on Thursday night the game shows up on our local channel 8 KFMB and is blacked-out on ESPN. EDIT: Granted, it is the feed produced by ESPN, it's just not shown on ESPN.

    So Tired of Dish Networks games ......

    Actually she navigates 7MC, including live/recorded tv and MyMovies, just fine with nothing more than a media center remote - keyboard doesn't get used unless we desire browser based video (Hulu, Youtube, Crunchyroll, etc). The guide is much quicker than anything else I've seen - due to less...

    So Tired of Dish Networks games ......

    I've been a E* sub since 1998. I'm currently contemplating between staying and going HTPC w/offair, Netflix, MyMovies (600 movies on Windows Home Server) & Hulu Plus (when released to the general public). I'm not a fan of D* and the wife would NEVER put up with the HR series DVR's and strange...

    Dish HD = Xbox 360?

    Wow:eek: You're all over the place with this question. First, Your X360 doesn't (currently) have any recording capability - it simply works as an "extender" of Windows Media Center (WMC) running on another computer in your home. WMC is currently included with XP Media Center Edition and the...
