    NHK World Perhaps?

    Spend $60 on a Roku. These feeds are available without a recurring revenue commitment - from multiple sources. All available on a PC but the Roku brings it to one's TV. Not the greatest PQ but it works just fine. BBC International looks fine. The live feeds from Japan in English also look...

    Do installers go on the roof in the winter?

    Unless one cancels service. Then getting on the roof as a consumer and retrieving the LMB seems to be a priority. Depending (of course) which CSR one gets when discussing cancellation of service.

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    I edited my post since your response. My edited post included the fact that two simple adjustments saved close to 30% on my bill. The SD DVR that I returned had been in our household for 3 years. Which as far as I am concerned had already paid back the original investment for E*. Paying...

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    I canceled my cancellation. But this episode did motivate me to take a hard look at my bill. I sent back a seldom used SD DVR saving $17 a month. And dropped down a level in channel packages saving $10 a month. Not that this was supposed to be an exercise in saving dough but it did...

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    One also has to consider those that simply choose to consume content. Regardless of price. Meaning if the game I choose to watch is on I would like to view it. Simple enough. Awarding Charlie the right to negotiate how much my fries should cost in a Happy Meal has made me move on...

    Or what you watch. Plus you have the dreaded "February" what's happening to our bills coming up right around the corner. To be followed up with a repeat of the "June 2010" increase if history repeats itself? Charlie needs to spend less money on legal fees and more time trying to...

    I canceled tonight. Disney is still an issue after months. Now Fox. I became a customer three + years ago. Back when Voom was still being offered. I loved the idea of the multiple EHD concept but have pulled off most of the content from the EHDs that mattered to me. This feature...

    Sony Movie Channel on 386

    That logo is really bad. I canceled Starz because of the glowing sun logo years ago.

    Dish has a REALLY BIG problem!!!!

    You dialed the wrong number. You dialed 1-800-686-2388. Which is a Direct reseller. Dish is 1-888-686-2388.

    Epix 1 and 2 is dark.

    HDNet Movies is commercial free and part of the Platinum package. Encore HD is commercial free and is included in the 250 package with no Platinum subscription required. My guess is Epix will remain a Platinum offering. Just because a channel is a commercial free movie channel does...

    NEW HD IS ON EPIX 2 AND MORE

    You must be the only one. Everybody else has different programming on Epix2. Unless your Epix2 guide is wrong - just like everybody else.

    Dish: Ready to shut down DVRs if it loses lawsuit

    Sounds scary. I believe this might call for the man from UNCLE.

    NEW HD IS ON EPIX 2 AND MORE

    No it is not. The guide is wrong. The programming is different.

    TCM HD looks fuzzier than its SD counterpart

    OAR for countless titles will never fill our 16x9 screens. They were produced for a different aspect ratio. What we get is the directorial original intent. Not what fits our 16x9 screens.

    Shows on EHD are erased after watching! Known problem?

    My current software version is: L625RJ3D-N on a VIP722 Perhaps the problems have not caught up to me.

    Shows on EHD are erased after watching! Known problem?

    I have the gear that I posted in #163 of this thread. I just threw an HDD which includes 82 titles which were recorded a long time ago. This particular drive is stuffed full. It shows 1.0GB available. I navigated to a title called "Easy Rider" which was originally recorded from channel...

    Shows on EHD are erased after watching! Known problem?

    Sorry but I have no magical advice. My comments are very simple. I have never lost a title on an EHD. I have never even thought about specific button presses on the remote in order to avoid a problem - which does not exist for me. I am not alleging that the problem does not exist for...

    Shows on EHD are erased after watching! Known problem?

    I'm still not seeing it. I haven't lost a single recording from my EHD (s). And I have tried to force a failure. I guess it depends on the combination of the EHD and the STB. Maybe not. If I see a failure I will of course comment.

    Shows on EHD are erased after watching! Known problem?

    SATA drives in the top bay. IDE drives in the bottom bay. SATA to USB converter for the top bay. IDE to USB converter for the bottom bay. The top SATA bay simply requires bare drives. Seen to the left. The IDE drive bay requires drive trays. Seen to the right.

    Shows on EHD are erased after watching! Known problem?

    Pics? I suppose. But it is a simple drive enclosure. It supports IDE and SATA. Not sure why pics are necessary. We all realize that only one EHD can be supported at a time. In my case all of my EHD's remain powered down sitting on a self unless I choose to use one.

    Shows on EHD are erased after watching! Known problem?

    I have an external drive rack that supports 15 removable external drives (and counting). Some new. Some old. Everything from an ancient 40GB generic drive to what I would call a more modern 750GB drive. Most are IDE some are SATA. I have never lost a single event with my rig. I'm...

    Smithsonian Now Gone from EPG

    Same here. CI is now playing on 374 but the guide shows the important news info. So it looks like it is back up (?) but with incorrect guide info.
