My hope is that they would just use the Xbox as a platform to stream from the Hopper. Since it is on the local network, there would be no need to downrez it.

Sensor placement If you're having trouble with Kinect working, it is important to both put it away from your center channel and to run the tuner. I put my center channel just below my TV and the Kinect above it (the opposite should work just as well). With the tuner having been run, it will...

I'd like to know if anyone has heard rumors about an Xbox 360 app for Dish. With HBO GO, Verizon FIOS, and Xfinity all having apps on the Xbox now, will Dish follow suit? Now that Dish has released the Hopper, it seems like all of the parts are there for Xbox to Hopper integration. For...

Also, don't forget the HOA has this option: Personally, if they put up a high-quality dish with a good distribution system, I'd like that idea better. There is a better chance they can find a place with -zero- trees and get the dish pointed precisely where it needs to go. However, I'm...

Let me explain how important Speed is at our house... We don't watch NASCAR anymore. Seems like pro wrestleing these days. However, we are so into F1 that the ONLY reason we* pay for Dish is for the F1 coverage on Speed. Sure, we enjoy some of the other programming, but Speed is what...

You mean second class customers. Dish is a company, not an arm of the US Government. TV isn't a right.

Links, man! I've not heard about this!

I'd say that too, but I've been elsewhere and came back...without my Indy HD locals...

You can take your rabbit ears and... Ok, I'm sick of the high and mighty "get a pair of rabbit ears" responses. For most of the USA (land wise), rabbit ears DO NOT WORK. To get OTA where I live, it is well over a $200 investment to get an OK signal, and with a tower, it is almost $2000...

Same here for Indianapolis. I've been fooled too many times. Just a quick reminder, though, for those waiting for HD locals like me. It has been brought up in this thread more than once that national HD are expected to be first. After they're online, they're expected to make sure the...

Nice map, digiblur! I'm amazed how they can shape the signal like that...

No, you can be geosynchronous and not be at the equator. However, if you're not at the equator, you're not in Geostationary orbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:Geostat.gif" class="image"><img alt=""...

:eureka You found the issue in my logic, thank you. I can see where there is more of a chance of error in this type of move. I also forgot that the bird is moving this whole time, and pushing it "east" or "west" like I was explaining would only cause it to move out of orbit!

I didn't think it was the same. I thought that since the amount of thrust could be measured so exactly there really would be no error. Part of the reason I slow down at a stop light is because I'm burning fuel the whole time I rush up to it. Slamming on the breaks is wasting gas. Even if I...

Why would they slow it down at all? If a 5 minute burn (just for the sake of discussion) took it from 0 deg per day to 2 deg per day, then wouldn't they just do another 5 minute burn the opposite way when they were 5 minutes away from 129? Point being, why do 5, 1 minute burns and slow it down...
