I'm a longtime E* sub who has to switch to Comcast because of financial difficulties. (How longtime? I have a 921 in a box in the garage. I paid cash for it at Costco.) What should I know about canceling? How far out in advance do I need to do it? What fees do I have to look out for? How...

How well did the Setanta model work for Setanta?

Three questions about the WiFi monitor: 1. In this sentence, shouldn't they have used the word "receive" instead of "transmit"? Or should I not be confused about this? 2. Did I miss where it tells us that we need our own, already-existing WiFi network for this to work? 3. Can it...

Since nobody else has stepped up, I'll take the low-hanging fruit here. I think that's it. It's a new channel from the NFL, so nobody has seen it yet. RSN=Regional Sports Network. These are the Fox Sports {insert geographical place name here} channels, plus others. There's a link to...

+2 about TopGear. It is awesome, and I've apparently only seen the hideously disfigured American version. Any idea if it is or will be produced in HD?

I doubt it's "new features" that would take up that disk space; it's more likely to be taken up with VOD. I agree with lakebum431. There won't be substantially more recording time on the 922. Besides, with external hard drives now supported, isn't the recording time becoming a less...

I am confused. I could have sworn I saw the Sharks in HD last night on channel 419. I'm not a hockey fan, so I didn't watch the game; I was looking for the Giants game. Which I did find, in HD, on one of the sport alternate channels, maybe 446? Did I imagine this? Generally...

Great. And our RSN's here in the Bay Area just switched from Fox to Comcast. :(

OK, so we're not talking about a Mac computer. Got it. You had me confused there for a bit. No problem! Let me throw something else out there regarding the discrepancy between the number of E* vs D* threads, both here and at the other site: Scott seems to be pretty wired into E*; he...

That's what they were saying at CES. ("They" being high mucky-mucks at E*.) Check the threads in that section for more details.

On a related subject, does anyone remember seeing BBC America advertising that they would be broadcasting in HD by fall of last year? Whatever happened with that?

Somebody needs a hug!

Yep, that's part of their new business plan. That's why they spun off Dish Network from Echostar. The Echostar hardware division presumably includes their Sling Media acquisition; its product line is no longer exclusive to Dish, which means another revenue stream. If I were an Echostar...

In post #20, hokieengineer says it will have full DLNA support. That's how they're going to do this. DLNA is a new standard for home A/V networking. It's pretty nifty, if it works as described. It basically means that the 922 can serve up its content over ethernet to any DLNA device on the...

Free preview just for SD boxes? The overlapped channels (i.e. 362) aren't viewable by SD-only customers, so they're now putting them there?
