    NFL Red Zone Sound... No 5.1

    It's my first Sunday with NFLRZ... and it's fantastic, with 1 exception. No Dolby Digital? :confused:

    NCAA Tournament Selective CBS HD

    Ok, so I suffered through standard def, dark PQ for the Texas win over New Mexico State tonight... we were wondering if perhaps the facility in Spokane didn't have the infrastructure to support an HD production. Then I flipped back over 20 minutes later and USC-Arkansas was being shown in...

    DishHD Rebate Doubled?

    I've been on the fence for upgrading my leased 942 to a 622 for a while now, and I just got a mailer from Dish that is a little confusing. It's actually an invitation with 2 cards for free activation for friends who sign up for DishHD... and I'm wondering if this is a new promo and whether I...

    Voom Deathbed Reflections

    Okay, I'm certainly not in marketing, and I don't presume that I would have had the foresight to suggest all of this at Voom's launch, but now that we're sitting at Voom's bedside, waiting for it to flatline, I have to ask... Once it was obvious that people weren't signing on in droves, WHY...

    Voom: D-Day & Beyond?

    We all know what Chuck D. thinks about Voom's ultimate viability; he really put his business and reputation on the line fighting for it. His track record of bucking the "smart money" isn't bad, either. We know that Cablevision as an organization wants to shed Rainbow DBS completely, severing...

    Idea: DVR Early Sign-Up

    As Scott has mentioned, the DVR is close, despite the lack of official information from VoOm. As a company, VoOm seems to be interested in sending signals that it isn't going anywhere anytime soon. In the spirit of that, why not institute an early sign-up program for the DVR for existing...

    New 811 DOA

    Well, shucks. I signed up for the $149 promo waiting list about 6 weeks ago, installed was finally scheduled for this morning... new jack, new switch, everything looks fine... power up the 811, "Error 301: There is a serious problem with the internal smart card." The installer called...

    2-Dish Switch Setup for 921?

    Okay, I'm patiently awaiting my 921 :shock:. I currently have a 501 and a 301, and I'm planning on swapping the 501 for the 921, should it arrive before armageddon. I have a single Dish500 dish. Now, I know that I'll need a new switch in order to feed both the 301 and the 2 tuners on the...

    DHP Exit Strategy?

    I'm guessing there are quite a few people in my boat, so I thought I'd see if anyone has any experience converting from a DHP to a non-DHP Dish customer. I've been Dish500 DHP (a 301 & a 501) customer for just over 2 years, so my contractual obligation is up. I'm planning on buying a...
