    NHL Center Ice - auto-renewal or not?

    that s good news. End of the year 2009? perhaps we ll see some changes before the end of the season :up Although I think even more annoying that they don't show in hd the canadian vs canadian games unless it is hockey night in canada. Montreal is taking a road trip in the west and none of these...

    NHL CI

    :up actually I was going to add Carolina and san jose but they kind of earn my respect by being good teams in recent years... although I still don't watch them on tv. I don't know if it is because I am in the north east in cold weather when hockey is on but I feel like hockey belongs to the...

    NHL CI

    I agree with you here as long as they put the second game in hd! I have the feeling it might not happen especially it seems when canadian teams are playing the probability of hd feed is low - at least that s the feeling I got last season and it makes me sick because I rather watch any canadian...

    NHL CI

    they usually have hockey night in canada on saturday - double feature - in HD on nhl network - that's some hd feeds at least. Directv has their schedule out for the next week and this is way more hd than I have seen on dish in the last year...

    NHL CI

    I think there is a free preview up to the end of the month since I am in auto-renewal and I received a letter saying I can cancel if I wanted to before oct 31 However I am in the process of moving and my box is not plugged - I wanted to check the schedule of center ice and nothing is on their...

    question about hauppauge and 311 box

    Hello, In a room used as office, I have 2 computer screens on my pc but no tv there. I was thinking it would be cool to get tv via a tv card like a hauppauge. I was thinking about getting a simple receiver from E* (already a customer: 722) like a 311 and wire it to the pc via a tv card then...

    Bell vr. SC in SW FL

    If this can help: I just signed up with SC. I ordered the dsr-505 and a 75E dish from KuSat and received them through UPS in 2 days. I had no idea how to install/point a dish but in as little as a few hours on a sunday afternoon I was all set. A signal finder helps tremendously.... I activated...

    Starchoice - Dish just installed

    Thanks. This morning, it is raining but not that much and now my signal strength went down to 74/ 8.1dB? Is there something wrong in my install? That's a big drop from sunny to slightly rainy... thanks

    Starchoice - Dish just installed

    Hi, I finally installed my 75E dish with the DSR-505 receiver. At first I struggle to get a signal (nothing for 1H30) so I decided to get a signal finder/meter at a local store and then at my surprise within 5 minutes I found the satellite with a signal of 45 (3.8db) ten minutes later 92...

    Starchoice HD - Quality ?

    Thanks guys for your input. I can't wait to see for myself but right now I m way too busy with work so it will have to wait this week end or next week. I have the 75E laying in the spare bedroom :-(

    DSR 530 rebate

    I can't confirm anything since I did not activate my account as of today but I asked my broker and he said: "no ppv but yes for the $50 programming credit on 1st bill" (I got the DSR505) So I assume one should be able to get the $250 for the DSR530 or I will have a not so good surprise in a month

    Starchoice HD - Quality ?

    I just received my dsr-505 with 75E. After browsing on some canadian forums, I have seen a lot ppl complaining about quality of HD contents and this start to scare me... Anybody here can comment on that? compared to dish or directv? (I have dish btw). The main reason I m seeking a subscription...
