    Statement from Dish Network on Young Broadcasting Removal

    I have to laugh at Young and KRON 4. Dish broadcasted a 24/7 assault on Young where their channel was in place of their content. Those broadcasts were very harsh and probably shamed them into a more reasonable agreement. As mentioned, KRON 4 did this with a network affiliate and is now a...

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    I'm starting to think these people not only LOVE HATING VOOM, but might be a little bit retarded too. I know that's not PC, but going into the thread they despise over and over, month after month, seems psycho and stupid.

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    Crap... I've been wanting to see this. It's not on DVD that I'm aware of which makes it a real treat. I'm sure it was stupid, but I recall being creeped out and frightened I might run into the melting man when walking through the forest behind my house. Took a few months to get over that -...

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    Some people love to hate. Hating Voom and Voom fans is very populare here. It's sad. People who bump this thread are almost always Voom fans sharing/chating with other Voom fans about how much they miss Voom. Then someone has to take that as a que to be nasty and rude. They are just...

    No dish service due to snow

    Us Californians just think it's something Walt Disney created in the mountains. Something to go look at, point at, wonder about, and play with. Snow has nothing to do with reality or real life though.

    sound dropping for a second?

    I thought this was just me and it was only happening to the Terminator on FOX. It's getting far worse now. Before I only noticed on the Terminator, but now it is everywhere. My Sony DD receiver has a blue light that illuminates when a DD signals is being precessed. I not only hear a 1 second...

    What's your SD Viewing Preference?

    I used to keep the 4:3 with black matting on my first HDTV. Years later the black matting BURNED into the TV, distorting the color on full 19:6 HD features. My new HDTVs are either partial or full zoom, but occasionally I leave the OAR which I prefer.

    Audio popping out during Terminator...

    Am I the only one who has the Dolby Digital "popping" out during FOX HD's Terminator? This has been going on for weeks now and only for the Terminator. It's starting to get pretty annoying.

    Same XM/Sirius channel sounds INFERIOR on Dish than Directv

    They did change my channels, but I think they just merged Sirius Beats with XM Dance. I remember XM from DirecTV. I never really got into it. Sirius got me hooked, especially with their Saturday night remixes on Beats. I do record those Saturday mixes and play them on my Archos at the gym...

    Chiller HD? Live on Time Warner?

    Actually, I was watching the old 80s Friday the 13th Series on Chiller in SD - horrible PQ. Then Sci-Fi aired the same Friday the 13th Series upconverted to HD - awesome PQ The PQ on Friday the 13th is famously bad with very dark and grainy images (even the new DVDs have terrible PQ). But...

    Same XM/Sirius channel sounds INFERIOR on Dish than Directv

    Hmmm... I found DirecTV XM to be inferior to Dish Sirius. Thankfully they have not deleted my favorites.

    Loser with another stupid question

    No one has answered your question so it couldn't be that stupid. YES - Dish Wish is about the same as TiVo's Wish List. The TiVo wish list worked far better IMHO. The Dish Wish List tends to record way too many duplicates so I never really use it. You won't miss your TiVo for much longer...

    Halloween Horror "Splinter" on HDNet 10/29

    Monsters HD

    Pretty much what sucks for me as well. I keep "searching" to DVR any horror and there is not much at all and even less in HD or 5.1 DD and even then it's usually not in the OAR. :( Monsters HD Rocked Out Halloween!

    Monsters HD

    That is all I cared about really, although I did watch filmfest allot and made sure to check it for DVR treasures. I miss Mosnters HD bad, best channel by far EVER and all the other premiums and what-nots that are showing Halloween films and CROPPING the OAR should be shamed (or burned at the...

    Archos 5, Archos 5g, and Arochs 7 with Dish Network Support?

    The Archos website does contain a Dish Network logo featured on the Archos 5 "Media Club" link. ARCHOS That sure looks like an Archos 5 with a Dish Network logo. You will also find the same graphic for the Archos 7, but NOT for the Archos 5g

    Archos 5, Archos 5g, and Arochs 7 with Dish Network Support?

    Looks like Dish Network owns 25% of Archos, I did not know that. That fact does not change my distrust considering Dish also owns 20% of Voom.

    Archos 5, Archos 5g, and Arochs 7 with Dish Network Support?

    This is the $64,000 question. I believe only an insider with Dish Network or Archos would know the answer. Is the new Generation 6 Archos 5, Archos 5g, or Archos 7 going to support Dish Network DVR transfers? I don't really trust Dish Network to maintain it's relationships with Archos...

    I Destroyed my PocketDISH HD

    Well... I use(d) my PocketDISH everyday for at least 2 hours. My mainstay was Sirius Radio and SD shows I recorded specifically for my daily use. I also have about 500 DVDs converted to Divix and typically stored about 15 on my PD for emergencies. I also search for premiums movies to record...

    I Destroyed my PocketDISH HD

    Wife has no problem with a new Archos 7 or a cheaper refurbished 605 or 705. That's why she is my wife. Sometimes I think she is going to act like a nagging mom, but she rarely does thank goodness. She will have a cow if she finds a new piece of coral or fish in our reef tank though, I have a...

    I Destroyed my PocketDISH HD

    That was a good idea. I searched threw the threads; my PocketDISH is DEAD. I might as well use the 15% for either an Archos 605 - 80GB - 4.3" replacement for about $170 or about $380 for an Archos 7 - 160GB - 7". I would have been happy if the repairs were $100 or less. An Archos 605 has way...

    I Destroyed my PocketDISH HD

    Sh*t - All PocketDISH devices are discontinued (knew that already) and cannot be repaired. There are no parts available for discontinued units. They will give me 15% off any new or refurbished unit. Hardly what I wish to hear right now. Is it time for a Archos 7? If anyone has a PocketDISH...

    I've lost HD on 129

    Oh, OK - makes perfect sense. I don't think I would have even thought about it too much if I didn't know people on this site would have all the tech answers. I certainly did not expert an answer to a 4 minutes outage on only a few HD channels.
