    CW in HD but not showing in HD.

    In the Reno, NV area, there are ota that claim to be broadcasting in HD, but they are not. The am21/genie combo shows them as sd. There is a channel that broadcasts in HD, I think it is 46.1. I get this on my ota tuner off my tivo. Looks great, nice HD. However, on the am21/genie combo, the...

    CW in HD but not showing in HD.

    That's a shame- my tivo (I pay $10 a month for ota service) gets 27.2, the HD feed just fine. Too bad that you can't manually configure the am21 to record it (since it probably says something like "regular programming" in the channel guide instead of the program names that are on the sd feeds...

    Can i get an am21 ota module for free?

    Tell me, what have you done so far this summer? I started the summer by seeing the Scorpions perform, spent five days in Las Vegas , three in a suite at the MGM, two days in San Dimas (went to the water park), saw the Dodgers play the White Sox (seats behind home plate), then flew to Kailoa...

    Can i get an am21 ota module for free?

    I live near Lake Tahoe. We don't get light fluffy snow like some get, we get water rich, heavy snow- we call it "Sierra Cement". It also can come with 50mph+ winds. Installer came, I asked about am21, he said he never heard of it, so I showed him a pic of it. He called warehouse and they...

    Can i get an am21 ota module for free?

    I left direct tv maybe 5 years ago, whatever module I had was sent with the dvr when I mailed it back. Yes, I am quite aware that my set has a tuner in it. However, it can't record! You say I should move on, but I haven't even gotten service yet!

    Can i get an am21 ota module for free?

    I better or I cancel! I got one free five years ago. I signed up yesterday with direct and the installer comes in a few hours. Talked to Direct and the woman of course interrogated me about why I wanted to get ota reception and i told her that when dish gets hit with snow, I get no reception...

    BLACKOUT

    Stop payment, make complaint to FCC and FTC, don't know how that could cause one to go broke. Most people are painfully ignorant on the law and companies like DISH prey on that. The only thing worse than an ignorant consumer is an ignorant consumer that thinks they aren't. Breech of contract...

    BLACKOUT

    I question the legality of that clause and if I were in a contract with them, I'd challenge. When you subscribe to DISH, you are in a contract for their service, but what that clause says is that they degrade the service (or even eliminate it, that could be called "a change of service") and you...

    BLACKOUT

    Dish dropped CBS in my area last october, still doesn't carry CBS.That's right, almost three months without the number one network. DISH runs a propaganda loop on the CBS space that says the same thing over and over- the stations are greedy, DISH is trying to keep costs down, blah, blah. Here...

    DISH dropped CBS from my service!

    That's the problem in keeping DISH- they don't have programming that I want that I can't get elsewhere for free, or better. For example, DISH offers CW in standard def only, meaning when I watch "Supernatural", it looks terrible. I can stream it for free in high definition if I want. Two and...

    DISH dropped CBS from my service!

    I am quite grown up. I have taken my money and walked away from DISH, got a TIVO premiere, got networks, HULU plus and Neflix, my bill will be $35 a month. I really could care less if DISH wants ala carte or not, why should it matter? I am a consumer, researched my options and don't see a reason...

    the ultimate snow preventer for your dish

    I always thought the best solution was a heated dish. I had one once and it worked well and we get heavy wet snow ("sierra cement"). I have also had some luck with Collinite 845 car wax. One thing you have to consider before buying that product in the video is its ability to hold up to UV light...

    DISH dropped CBS from my service!

    Why don't you grow up and learn something about business? I have backed what I have said. I'll try to make real simple for you: DISH is a business-they make money off people who subscribe to their business. Now, if customer base feels that their product is low quality and/or a bad value, members...

    DISH dropped CBS from my service!

    Despite losing 11,000 subscribers last quarter, profits are up. Dish profits up but subscribers dip - Entertainment News, TV News, Media - Variety So, has anyone seen a reduction in rates? My point here is that DISH is not playing hard for the benefit of the consumer, they just want a bigger...

    DISH dropped CBS from my service!

    In your example, you think $.90 a month is too much, yet ESPN takes in about $4 a month (!) from a channel, many never watch. Why is it that I can't have CBS, but I am forced to subsidize this overpriced channel? If CBS wants an extra $.60 a month, I'll pay it. Hell, take away the ESPN (and...
