    Interesting Report from JohnH!

    I came to this site last year because I owned an HDTV and wanted to make an informed decision so I could receive more than my 2 local HD channels. I sat back quietly during the election last year while "Bushies" made their uninformed claims. GIVE ME A BREAK! That's a very poor analogy. The...

    Need Advice, recievers shut off

    Your comment about WalMart, reminds me of shopping at Sam's Club. Everybody is a thief and you're not leaving the store till they look at your receipt and contents of your cart.

    HD Broadcast Deadline

    Stupid nicely sums up the locals in my area that don't offer or plan to offer HD anytime soon. I only get PBS and CBS in HD the rest are DTV.

    Frontier & EchoStar

    Are you the same whiz that came up with "Frontier Choices"? Where's the CHOICE? You're forced to have all sorts of usesless features such as caller id, call waiting, voice mail, etc.... pay BIG $$$$$$$$$$$ to save a couple bucks on DSL. You don't save any money, you actually pay more. If you...

    Watch your bills!

    I got a letter today from Dish Notwork thanking me for subscribing to the 2004 MLB Extra Innings. Big problem, I never subscibed to the damn thing. The letter tells me how Dish saves me time and money by automatically renewing MLB Extra Innings at a special renewal price of $139. How in the...

    Anyone else tired of the silence?

    Hell yes there's a problem with having locals in Nebraska. Central Nebraska locals show the same damn thing. This weekend, with my 811, I was able to get the Nebraska boys state basketball tournament on 6 different channels. YES!! SIX!! All showing the same feed. I could get the same game on 4...

    Voom for Sale, Will Dish Buy?

    Forget D* like I said earlier. I don't see a real "compelling" reason for Microsoft, so how about Mark Cuban buying Voom? The man's got billions and name one other single person who's done more to promote HD television.

    Voom for Sale, Will Dish Buy?

    D* buys or partners with Voom. Why? Because they have money to burn and it leave old Charlie eating HD dust.

    HD pack only - seem to remember a "penalty"

    My local cable monopoly is an absolute joke. Besides no HD, they don't offer any of the PPV sports packages like ESPN Gameplan or FullCourt. Anyone have experience with HD and ESPN packages only? Since I'm on auto-renew with both, you'd think Dish would want to keep taking my $99/package/year.

    Dish Earnings Conference Call and reported HD Plans...

    More and more reasons to move to D*? When I was shopping around for HD service the only reason I went with E* was because they offered free 811s. I called D* and they told me to go to Best Buy and PURCHASE an HD receiver if I wanted to get HD programing from D*. I couldn't even buy an...

    Dish is not offering the Olympics in HD!!!!!

    I called my local NBC station today to find out why the HD feed of the Olympics is blacked out in my area. The first person I talked to was the Head Engineer and he told me that he had heard that Dish was offering both an interactive guide and an HD feed, but he had no idea why they were...
