    No Price Change??

    YEah..I got it too. NO PRICE CHANGE?? So I'm imagining Bronze went up to $29.95 from $24.95? Oh I get it..no more price changes the rest of the year. Well that's convienent because don't they only change prices once a year in Feb. anyway?? Sounds like good old fashion marketing hogwash spin.

    I'm so incredibly confused

    So what did I miss? 1. I caught a wiff of some type of offer in January for existing DISH users..I just purchased HD BRONZE last fall and didn't get any letter and this went away Feb 1 so I have no idea if I missed out on something that would have saved me money. 2. HD is making me crazy. I...

    Is anyone else having problems with cartoon network HD?

    oh yeah. it was horrible. i had it on surround and in addition to cutting out..sometimes it would drop completely for 2-3 minutes and all the audio would come out of one of my surrounds speakers (very loud!) while nothing at all came out of the fronts. Oh, and I watched this week's Knight...

    Is anyone else having problems with cartoon network HD?

    I have 2 channels acting up: Cartoon Network has audio drops roughly every minute or so. Its driving absolutely insane. This has been going on for weeks now and I haven't had a chance to log on here & fuss about it. SOmteimes it does it 2 times in a row. I'm going crazy... Second, NBC...

    HD picture drop out very annoying

    It seems the sound bug issue is mostly resolved, but now I'm getting a 'black screen' twice in succession (about 2 seconds apart). Very annoying. I recorded a beautiful "sunrise earth" today with various 'best of' sunrises from the west. I wanted to keep it but when I watched it the entire...

    Scifi HD and USA HD available in Puerto Rico

    Makes sense. THanks. I couldn't imagine that DISH would be broadcasting an HD network on more than one satellite. I prefer all my 'regular' HD channels in teh 100 range so I don't have anything above 500 that I look at.

    aha. Ok, I guess I'll need to map that button to my harmony as well. I only have ffwd/rwd and 30-second skip/10sec back.

    Wish List of DVR Features - Next SW Upgrade

    As a corollary to the above request; sometimes I pause to see something I missed and that dang status bar covers up what I was looking for. Is there a way to 'remove' all the display stuff so you actually see an unadulterated paused frame?

    Scifi HD and USA HD available in Puerto Rico

    I noticed those 2 channels pop up..and I promptly removed them from my channel lineup. Since I have the same channels repeated 3x (in the 100-200 range, in the 5000 range and again in the 9000 range) I only keep the HD channels in the 100-200 range. Does this make any difference at all? Are...

    Dish Quality

    I agree with avp. I still have my QAM tuner pulling in comcast locals in HD and I switch back & forth. The difference is striking. Comcast HD is much 'crisper' and the colors are much more vibrant. DISH, otoh, is washed out and muddy. Doesn't look nearly as nice and I know comcast is...

    Dish - 4th Place in HD

    What are you guys watching?? I'm a less = more type of person and honestly HD Bronze has everything and then some that I need. I don't watch half of the HD channels I get now. I do miss the quality of Voom, but its mostly ESPN and the free movie channels (for now) + discovery HD. For $35/mo...

    Did you not pay attention when ReplayTV was almost sued out of existence due to this feature? This is why the 5040 model > 5400 (or whatever the new one was that removed this feature)

    I dunno. That's the default so I figured they had a good reason for setting it that way.

    Back to the adult thing... Another thing that would be helpful is doing something about catching the last 3 minutes of an adult show prior to something you recorded for the kids. I did a search for a movie on one of my cinemax channels and recorded it without knowing what the 'lead in..'...

    scam from Dish?!?!?!

    sounds legit..a couple free channels to lock you in for another 2 years.. How is this different than a $300 mobile phone for free when you agree to extend your cell phone contract for 2 years?

    Latest on audio drop-out issue? Can we consolidate threads?

    I'm searching around and see several threads on this. Its extremely annoying. I noticed it last night on ESPN while watching the Titans that it happened probably a half dozen times. Makes me feel like my satellite antenna isn't getting a good signal or something. Is there a general...

    Its bringing a tear to my eye how many ReplayTV users are on here. I gaze longingly at my 5040 with the ethernet & power cables wrapped around it. Poor thing is no longer the jewel of my entertainment center..if only they had added qam/atsc & HD.... On a feature-related thought: how about...
