    DISH CINEMA

    It does load when the receiver is off. The problem I see now is if you are watching a regular dvr recording and try to search for an on demand movie the screen freezes up very easy.

    I think when my bill hit $100 is when I said this is getting ridiculous. I don't feel sorry for any of theses companies. In a downed economy they should be thanking all of us for our support. Dish just offered me a new SD receiver for being a loyal customer......wow and they know I only have HD...
