    I want the Tennis Channel

    Hey, it is not all about the tennis! When I was a Dish subscriber, I would wake up early on Sunday morning in anticipation of the wicked ping-pong matches on the Tennis Channel . . . OK, maybe not. But I would be interested in getting the Tennis Channel again . . . although I would be MUCH...

    Directv PQ

    Thanks for the input. I have been focused on the Dish developments over the past year or so . . . what is the timing on getting more sats up for D*?

    Directv PQ

    I apologize in advance, because I am sure this is discussed as nasium -- but opinions would be appreciated. D* has forced my hand and I think I need to switch from Dish so I can get the MLB EI package. My question is how is the SD picture quality on D* . . . is it different from what I have...

    International Channels - Australia Available?

    I have never seen it, but that would be spectacular . . . catch a little league and footy action. Maybe a little Thank God you are Here. So long as we didn't have to watch ABC coverage of bowling, I would be happy. Don't know how that would work with the coverage of US shows - TEN carries...

    I WANT MY HDTV (Dish 1000 signal...?)

    Ok, sorry for this tangential conversation . . . (hope the 1000 works for you and you can get HD programing!) Why would 129 be lower power in the PNW than anywhere else? My common sense (although very faulty at times) indicates that since you have a closer proximity to 129 than say the...

    Worldsport - baseball?

    Has Worldsport carried baseball in the past (such as Japanese league, etc.)? Thanks.

    Tennis Channel?

    I would assume cynical sarcasm . . . but bloody hilarious. Although, it has been a while since I have seen a good throw down on these forums as of late -- (although there are the people who are not please that all the sports channels are being added). That said, with baseball season...

    Post Your Upgrade Experience Here

    Denver upgrade Called at 8:30 MST. On hold for 13min. CSR knew the deal (better by now! probably 1000 calls into her day.) Install morning of 2/6. She said I needed to call back Monday following install to change to the Gold package. She confirmed that Denver locals are up in HD.

    New XM products? need info

    I am looking for some information on the new XM receiver that is coming out this fall. My understanding is that it is to compete with theh Sirius S50, but that is about all I know. They had information about it on their website immediately after CES, but I can't find it any more. Anyone...

    An update from Scott at CES

    :eek: Scott, thanks for your efforts all the information (except the veiled indication that you may be sitting in your hotel room posting naked - THAT you can keep to yourself next time)!

    811 HD sound issues

    Thanks. I will check to see who made mine. I agree that it certainly takes a couple seconds for the sound to kick in - my issue that that after there is sound, it will drop out for 1/2 second a couple times every minute going forward. Thanks to both of you.

    811 HD sound issues

    (Sorry if this is addressed elsewhere - I did a search but found nada). My 811 is having sound issues on the HD channels. When I switch from an SD to an HD channel, the sound drops out randomly for 1/2 second or so. Almost a "skipping" issue. There are no problems with the video, just the...

    Dish 1000 picks up all satellites?

    I just had a 1000 installed and I get HD, Voom, locals and AT180. I live in Denver and my locals are sitting (or mirrored) on 129. My dish is picking up 110, 119 and 129.

    HD Locals in Denver?

    Last night I had some issues and needed to call DN for tech assistance. The tech guy pulls my record and says "Looks like you have a Dish 1000 install set up for next week - since you live in Denver, you will be able to pick up your locals in HD off 129 . . ." Uh, did I miss something or...
