I am interested in upgrading to a Hopper 3 and 4k Joey, And the 2 year price lock if you can do that as well. Thank you.

thanks for clearing that up Sarang. I have always thought that 720P was superior to 1280x1080 because it was progressive. i am not an expert but i was worrying that some people that pass themselves off as experts are saying that 1280x1080i is better than 1280x720P. i was confused again until i...

this is pretty much what happened to me. i had no guide problems with 333 until they announced 334 and then i had to do daily reboots to get the guide loaded. 334 seemed to fix that problem for me but it is different guide software than 333. when you scroll a page it leaves the cursor where it...

i have a suggestion if anyone is listening. give existing mpeg2 HD customers all the channels in hdlite and guarantee that when they move to mpeg4 everything will be in full 1920x1080. i mean isnt the purpose of mpeg4 to give them more bandwidth? so they could give us the channels in low rez now...

at this point, looking at all my options and knowing i want a 1920x1080p screen in the next year or so, i think i would pay double the lease price to get full rez. dont tell dish though.

gee whiz simon i just realized that i asked if charlie was still the majority shareholder in the same post you quoted. why didnt you include that part in your response? why did you take my quote out of context and emphatically claim i was wrong when i did politely ask the question before i noted...

thank you SS. i did ask that question earlier and have since seen in todays article that Charlie is still the majority stock holder. so whatever happens is purely an Ergen decision. But I can see where there may come a time for someone to want to cash out. maybe that time isnt now but i can see...

thanks. i was trying to avoid that but if thats what i have to do then thats what i have to do. will that fix it for more than one day? or will i have to do that every day? this is the third or fourth 811 i have had and i havent had that many problems with it.

i hope it fixes the EPG problems i am having. ever since the CES press conference i can only get about an hours worth of guide if i am lucky enough to get that. is there a way to force the guide to do a full load?

this article seems to imply that Ergen either merges with someone or goes out of business. is that possible? isnt the word "wither" usually followed by the words "and die"? "CONTROL ISSUES. Ergen, who owns the majority of voting shares, balked at a merger with Murdoch's News Corp. (NWS)...

by the way, if you all remember, the same thing happened when voom was sold. lots of reports. everyone denied it. then it happened. i think all you voom kool aid drinkers remember that right? for everyone that denies the sale of E* to the end... PLEASE dont drink the E* kool aid.

analysts are speculating tht at&t can offer up to 33 dollars a share. i dont know if charlie still owns over 50% of the stock or not but i believe if at&t makes a public offer to E* the shareholders will have to vote on it. then it wont matter what the chairman thinks or wants. another good...

i couldnt agree with you more gary. i guess stargazer is trying to put a good face on it but again as i posted in the other thread i can just hope that when at&t buys echostar we will see decent hdtv at least with the IPTV content. then i will buy whatever box at&t wants me to buy. i already...

you mean the extra hdlite content. dont you? i have seen enough hdlite. there is no need to pay for more hdlite. i will just change the aspect ratio on my tv to see digital tv in full screen. i am hoping when at&t buys echostar there will be an improvement at least in the IPTV content and then...

well at least there is no longer a rush to go to MPEG4 receivers if all they give you is hdlite. i was really concerned that i wouldnt get a new receiver before feb first but now who cares. i was even going to go out on the limb for a vip622 as soon as it came out but why bother now? why do i...

yes thats exactly what it reminsd me of. those showtime clips a few days ago you told us about. they looked great but i knew they were 1920x1080 and when i saw the espn clips look just as good i thought "how the heck did they do that to 720P" i guess they upconverted the material and made it...

i know this sounds terrible but is it possible that a software release could have effected the OTA tuner and made it look softer in order to make the other HD channels look better? is it even possible?

its between 930 and 10 pm on the west coast and the demo channel is showing all espn clips. they look pretty good. if this is 720p i think i could live with it. edit: i guess i should wait and see how monster HD looks in 720p before i pass judgement though. i used to watch monster constantly...

thank god for the demo channel. now at least i know its not my tv or my eyes going bad. i was really worried for a while looking at what used to be great tv on monster and equator. then i figured my tv was broke or my eyes were just going on me. i just saw a boxing clip on the demo channel and...

you are sooooooo right kcromeis. it is silly. without the repeat of sports center every hour ESPN HD has about 4 hours of HD a day. i actually thought it was more but thanks to the link provided by BFG i see that it is 4 hours or less of HD a day and its only live sports if you are lucky. the...

i agree with summit. there were only a few channels i even watched on VOOM but they were worth it last week. now when i turn on the monster channel and see soft edges and no detail i dont even bother watching anymore. i used to watch old black and white monster movies because of the incredible...

i didnt want to ruin a good thread so i resisted answering ilya until now. it looks like this thread has run its course so i will try to explain and hope someone understands. ilya..... you need to check which kool aid you are drinking my friend. i do apologize for mentioning that i quoted...

i also used to believe that scott simply passed what he knew. as a matter of fact i was at dbstalk reading scott a year or two ago and i never faulted him for leaving and forming another site BUT......... it was not so long ago that i started a thread that said the wall street journal reported...
