    Hopper on Xbox 360

    My hope is that they would just use the Xbox as a platform to stream from the Hopper. Since it is on the local network, there would be no need to downrez it.

    Hopper on Xbox 360

    Sensor placement If you're having trouble with Kinect working, it is important to both put it away from your center channel and to run the tuner. I put my center channel just below my TV and the Kinect above it (the opposite should work just as well). With the tuner having been run, it will...

    Hopper on Xbox 360

    I'd like to know if anyone has heard rumors about an Xbox 360 app for Dish. With HBO GO, Verizon FIOS, and Xfinity all having apps on the Xbox now, will Dish follow suit? Now that Dish has released the Hopper, it seems like all of the parts are there for Xbox to Hopper integration. For...

    Legal Placement of Dishes on Owner's Property

    Also, don't forget the HOA has this option: Personally, if they put up a high-quality dish with a good distribution system, I'd like that idea better. There is a better chance they can find a place with -zero- trees and get the dish pointed precisely where it needs to go. However, I'm...

    Rumor NO MORE!, SpeedHD, FX HD & More THIS WEEK! (NOW LIVE)

    Let me explain how important Speed is at our house... We don't watch NASCAR anymore. Seems like pro wrestleing these days. However, we are so into F1 that the ONLY reason we* pay for Dish is for the F1 coverage on Speed. Sure, we enjoy some of the other programming, but Speed is what...

    Why do HI subs get so few HD channels?

    You mean second class customers. Dish is a company, not an arm of the US Government. TV isn't a right.

    SatelliteGuys Live Recap - Dish Retailer Chat 2/4/09

    You can take your rabbit ears and... Ok, I'm sick of the high and mighty "get a pair of rabbit ears" responses. For most of the USA (land wise), rabbit ears DO NOT WORK. To get OTA where I live, it is well over a $200 investment to get an OK signal, and with a tower, it is almost $2000...

    Same here for Indianapolis. I've been fooled too many times. Just a quick reminder, though, for those waiting for HD locals like me. It has been brought up in this thread more than once that national HD are expected to be first. After they're online, they're expected to make sure the...

    No, you can be geosynchronous and not be at the equator. However, if you're not at the equator, you're not in Geostationary orbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:Geostat.gif" class="image"><img alt=""...

    :eureka You found the issue in my logic, thank you. I can see where there is more of a chance of error in this type of move. I also forgot that the bird is moving this whole time, and pushing it "east" or "west" like I was explaining would only cause it to move out of orbit!

    I didn't think it was the same. I thought that since the amount of thrust could be measured so exactly there really would be no error. Part of the reason I slow down at a stop light is because I'm burning fuel the whole time I rush up to it. Slamming on the breaks is wasting gas. Even if I...

    Why would they slow it down at all? If a 5 minute burn (just for the sake of discussion) took it from 0 deg per day to 2 deg per day, then wouldn't they just do another 5 minute burn the opposite way when they were 5 minutes away from 129? Point being, why do 5, 1 minute burns and slow it down...

    129 NOW. Yes, it will look like it is at 128.something later. Ignore it. Read previous posts. May the force be with you.

    Yes, but Santa never brought me HD locals. I've been asking for years... And before someone points it out, I fully expect that HD locals won't be on it for a few weeks while they get the spotbeams ready, but progress is progress. And lastly, I also am fully aware that just because they...

    Does it appear to have slowed? I have not been watching it constantly like some here may, but it seems like it was moving faster this morning than it is now. I assume that means that we got an update and they had already fired a slowdown burn.

    Do you know how hard it will be for me to resist posting "OMG!!! It just went to 127!!!! It is going to run into the 119 sats! Dish is RUINED!" tomorrow? :D

    Won't know until it starts moving Once the position is less than 137.5, we should know it is on the way to 129, yes?

    E*: is it THAT hard for an option to choose what tuner you want to record on? (pics)

    To me, the idle TV issue is a PITA that shouldn't be part of this conversation. What I would like to see, and what I think would make many people like sdschramm happy, is just the plain ability to set tuner when you set a recording. Let me give you an example. I record NFL games in HD. I'm...

    Would it be feasible for Dish to covert all content to 1080p 24 fps?

    The 24 fps is a film issue. Watch any movie on DVD and step through the frames. They go 1, 2, 3, 4, 4 to move it from 24 fps to 30. I don't see any reason to reduce framerates for broadcast. Keep in mind that one of the main reasons ESPN is in 720p is so they can have 60 frames per second to...

    No Planet Green HD for me

    vicw, Following your semi off-topic post...why would you avoid watching much of it in the future? Either they're right about things like that destroying the planet, or they're wrong. How will you know if you don't watch it to find out and look into it yourself? Or, if someone says that...
