    comcast pricing...what the

    The $16 DVR is just highway robbery. I just got Comcast after the wettest summer in history and screaming from my family about the daily rain fade. For some reason I have ancient Scientific Atlanta ugly ass silver receivers. The onscreen caller ID that Dish has had for years, and I was promised...

    Hallmark Movie Channel in Dish Platinum

    Sorry but any channel that is edited with commercials is not Platinum, just a crappy way of getting more money for nothing more than HD.

    Charlie's Blockbuster will love this.

    I dropped the DVD option when the studios started issuing "rental" versions, with no extras or commentaries that were on the retail version, and Netflix agreed to hold new studio titles for thirty days after street date. I have had zero problems with the streaming so I'll stay with that and if I...

    DISH Network Launches Distant Networks

    "Where did you see that Dish pulled down the AAD HD distants?" Well I heard it myself from AAD when I lost my HD's and was reverted back to SD. They also said they received many complaints and hoped one day to be able to offer the HD's again.

    Dish Network bids for Blockbuster at the last minute before the bidding deadline.

    Then Blockbuster came to town and all my favorite mom and pop video stores closed. I know for all the damage Blockbuster did, it's amazing it ended up being worth only $320 million which was just about what the last lottery paid off. I don't know what all this means but I can bet my bill will...

    No more HD Distant Networks?

    I talked to AAD yesterday to make sure my autopay was still in effect from Sobongo and asked about HD and the customer service rep said they had no plans for the return of HD but acknowledged they had a lot of complaints and requests for HD.

    No more HD Distant Networks?

    I thought Charlie was fighting for the rights to offer distant networks because you can walk in any news shop in America and get the NY or LA Times. You can stream channels every day on line. I'm not getting the arguments the locals throw out about they need people to watch for the advertising...

    No more HD Distant Networks?

    Now I'm confused. My locals are in HD but I can't get them. Because of my particular location, I can't get The EA so they spent a day getting me all other HD content with a 129/119/110 set up. I received the networks HD thru AAD. All's well until this week of course. The AAD person said it...

    Anyone else have trouble paying their bill on Dish's Website?

    It's always "undergoing maintenance". I have to end up calling more than I can do it online, but I refuse the autopay which is what they really want.

    Anyone downgrade their subscriptions and gone to NETFLIX for the movies?

    Dropped AEP to 250 also. Netflix site itself is terrible to find movies. To keep track, check out this site. Streaming Central | FeedFliks.com

    Will E* carry the new Oprah Network??

    Dish did not pick up Oprah's other channel Oxygen until two years into their launch. So it won't be a surprise if OWN is not on for a while.

    HD locals for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, PA timeframe??

    I have the same problem and I wrote to the CEO address provided here and just asked the simple question of if this problem will be fixed and if there is a time frame. At the time it was 17 HD's now it's 23 we are not getting. As of today, I have received no answer, not even a generic "we've...

    61.5 HD Core Migrations Update

    Well I just got off the phone with a manager out of the Harrisburg office who sent the tech this morning. Williamsport is outside the spot beam of the Eastern Arc and the HD locals. Dish knows of the problem and has the same situation in Jacksonville FL. That's what I was told. They don't know...

    HD locals for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, PA timeframe??

    OK, I tried to get through on The Tech Chat last night. I called and got right through. A woman inquires about my question. I tell her as simple and slowly as I possibly could. She says hold on. Another woman comes on and says all the studio phones are busy but they will put someone from the...

    HD locals for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, PA timeframe??

    Isn't there a must carry law where if they broadcast a local market, they have to carry all the channels of that market? Is Dish planning on picking up WNEP2 / Retro TV, and is that channel broadcast in HD too?
