    No more HD Distant Networks?

    Just received a call from Sobongo/AAD telling me the HD distants will definitely be yanked at midnight tonight. I told the rep I'd cancelled my subscription a week ago.

    No more HD Distant Networks?

    Decided not to wait, went ahead and put a bullet in my subscription just now. Since I'm on auto pay, my service as a whole is done on the 28th, but the HD channels do in fact disappear on the 12th.

    No more HD Distant Networks?

    What I'll miss most (besides the HD signals) is the ability to access out of market newscasts. I could continue my subscription in SD but what's the point, having HD is like visiting a 5 star restaurant to eat prime rib everyday. When the prime rib is forceably removed and replaced with...

    DIRECTV Premieres 'Pirate Radio' More Than A Month Before DVD Release

    I bought the blu-ray of "The Boat That Rocked" from Amazon UK in December, and its fantastic. This is the version to watch and/or own IMO. "Pirate Radio" is the US version of BTR, missing at least 20 minutes if not more.

    UPS says keep receipt

    I returned a faulty 622 a few years back, stupidly threw away the UPS shipping receipt. Dish/ATT billed me $350. After weeks of bickering back and forth, the missing receiver was located and I dodged a bullet. Nuff said.

    WOAI (San Antonio) in HD by mid Feb
