    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    Down in San Antonio too, but here's the ODD part, I have two receivers...only one has suffered complete signal loss. The other is fine. ????

    No more HD Distant Networks?

    Just received a call from Sobongo/AAD telling me the HD distants will definitely be yanked at midnight tonight. I told the rep I'd cancelled my subscription a week ago.

    No more HD Distant Networks?

    Decided not to wait, went ahead and put a bullet in my subscription just now. Since I'm on auto pay, my service as a whole is done on the 28th, but the HD channels do in fact disappear on the 12th.

    No more HD Distant Networks?

    What I'll miss most (besides the HD signals) is the ability to access out of market newscasts. I could continue my subscription in SD but what's the point, having HD is like visiting a 5 star restaurant to eat prime rib everyday. When the prime rib is forceably removed and replaced with...

    6/22/2010 9:45am - Uplink Activity Report - 33 changes

    This is why I subscribe to both services. When crap like this happens I don't have to worry about my favorite channels going dark without notice. Get it together E*!

    DISH Network Launches (Then Removes) The Weather Cast

    What do we have here? Yet another programming dispute? Here we go again. :mad: This is why I feel I have to keep a Dish and a Directv subscription. :rant: Why does it always have to be one step forward and two steps back with Dish?

    DIRECTV Premieres 'Pirate Radio' More Than A Month Before DVD Release

    I bought the blu-ray of "The Boat That Rocked" from Amazon UK in December, and its fantastic. This is the version to watch and/or own IMO. "Pirate Radio" is the US version of BTR, missing at least 20 minutes if not more.

    UPS says keep receipt

    I returned a faulty 622 a few years back, stupidly threw away the UPS shipping receipt. Dish/ATT billed me $350. After weeks of bickering back and forth, the missing receiver was located and I dodged a bullet. Nuff said.

    As a former Air Force broadcaster (now retired) the Pentagon Channel is a most welcome addition. Well done Dish!

    WOAI (San Antonio) in HD by mid Feb

    Hurray! Finally! About damn time! I was seriously considering dropping Dish for TWC before March over this very issue -- had had about enough of the politics so this is welcome news if indeed true Now let's work on getting KYMS MY35 HD added to Dish so I can see all Spurs games in HD

    HD Local Additions

    I'm in San Antonio. Where the heck is WOAI HD (NBC affiliate)? Seems as if we've been waiting for it since the beginning of time. And Dish while you're at it, please add KMYS HD (My Network), would be nice to view Spurs games in HD.

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    Rave and Treasure HD were the only two HD channels keeping me with E* until Travel Channel HD was added Monday. When D11 is activated and Travel Channel HD is added to D*, which I also have a subscription to, I will cancel my Dish subscription. I don't see a compelling reason to keep Dish once...

    Dish and Direct - Why both

    E* for superstation package and Voom (I have 20-30 Rave concerts archieved). D* for NFLST, NBA LP, sports package, HD premium channels (HBO, SHO, STARZ, TMC) Smithsonian and local NBC affiliate HD feed (which is unavailable on E*). Wife and I split E* bill each month; I foot the bill for D*.

    Uplink Report?

    I'm way ahead of you. I ordered D* in August to supplement my E* service and haven't looked back. Though I like E*'s Voom channels, I admit I've been watching lots more D* lately with their HD channel additions, my Sunday Ticket and League Pass subscriptions. My wife is an E* fanatic, but...

    Getting Jealous of Directv?

    I'm no longer jealous because I have both D* and E* so I'm sitting at the table, remotes in each hand, ready to feast! Bring on more HD! :hungry:

    NFL Sunday Ticket

    I'm a North Carolina transplant deep in the heart of Texas, Dallas Cowboys country. Between the Dallas games and the sucky Houston Texans games aired here every Sunday, I'm lucky if I see 3-4 Panthers games each season. That's why I decided to get the Ticket this year, and damned glad I did! ;)

    To you guys that have D* and E*

    Well I don't have the Canadian sats yet :D but my wife allowed me to have both D* and E* subscriptions a few weeks ago. We agreed that I would pay the D* bill in full each month, while she splits the E* bill with me, and so far it works out well. My D* subscription's primarily for sports...
