    Do flat panel prices fall after the Super Bowl?

    Prices right now are higher at most places than they were during Christmas. February and March begins the annual cycle of older products being discontinued and new products arriving, so you will probably find some good closeout prices in the near future, while the new, "must-have" tv's will have...

    2008 NFL Playoff Thread

    SportsCenter showed the endzone cam. Flacco didn't step out. The live angle did look like it though. While much of the blame for the Panthers' loss can be laid at the feet of Delhomme, I thought their coaching staff was just as bad. After the back-to-back turnovers in the first half, you would...

    Where is the TV2 IR (to UHF) converter?

    Heh, I guess it just depends how you look at it. You are thinking converting a universal remote's IR signal to the UHF the receiver accepts, and I am thinking converting the receiver from accepting UHF to IR.

    DIRECTV Remains Clear HD Leader with 130 HD Channels

    I guess you missed the news about E*'s website being updated last week that said they would have 1080P VOD. They pulled it down later, but don't buy into the D* hype too much. 23 RSNs and 3 PPV...oh boy. :(

    UHF to IR converter (for TV 2)

    Universal remotes don't typically work with the UHF signal of Dish, so you need to be able to do IR. I'm am looking forward to it so I can control the TV2 output with my Slingbox, which I currently am unable to do.

    New HD at the expense of Voom?

    !protestEmail sent. Hating Dish right now. Where are they spending all the money Directv spends on exclusives like Sunday Ticket, Hot Pass, and Extra Innings? Another call center in India?
