I live in Maitland and have not had any problems either. Picture via the MPEG4 local HD has been great, as good as WKMG's OTA broadcast. Maybe there is a problem with the Slimline? BTW, is the Slimline much smaller then the regular 5 LNB dish?

I thought one of the new sats was going up late winter early sping. The report says both are going up this summer. If so, we won't see any new HD until next fall, and possibly later if there are any delays in launches, etc. Could someone clarify this for me? Thanks.

Sci Fi HD?? Did I read that correctly? When is that supposed to be launched (the Channel, not on D*)?

I'll trade you!! I have major lip sync and guide issues (Upcoming:Title Not Available) on a bunch of channels since EF loaded. Mine was great before EF.

If that's the case then cool. I did a search but did not see that anywhere. Must have missed it. I too have the DVDs but seeing as they are not out in any HiDef format yet, I would love to have them recorded in HD. I doubt they will come out soon in HDDVD or BD anytiime soon.

CinemaxHD will be showing the complete Star Wars saga in HD this weekend. Guess there is no chance of D* adding CinemaxHD for this special, huh? Here is part of the press release. Cinemax and Cinemax HD kick off a weekend marathon of all six movies on Friday, November 10 at midnight with Star...

The welcome to HDDVD piece at the beginning of most of the HDDVD movies continue to show clips from the Harry Potter movies as well as the Matrix Trilogy. Hopefully the will announce, though I am surprised nither has been announced yet, even if its late November/December. At least V for Vendetta...

Anyone else experiencing audio/video breakups? The audio breakups are worse then the video but both are there. I am watching via my TiVo HD running software 3.1. No breakups on any other channels, also all the HD pictures look worse then usual tonight. Thanks.

Your absolutely correct. I was listening to Home Ice on XM the other day and apparently the NHL could have paid the company running the NHL Network - similar to the NFL network - less than one million dollars to broadcast games into the US (I understand our good neighbor to the north gets the...

D* is pretty good as well. It was great watching football on ESPN1 and Baseball on ESPN2 both in HD. Also, most of the college football games on ESPN 2 have been in HD. And the MPEG4 locals look, to me anyway, just as good as the OTA versions. I am very hard pressed to see any differences.

The Devil Rays game was on FSN up here in Central Florida. Don't know if that's why you were blacked out but the game ended pretty early - about the time the game came on for you. BTW, Fish are on quite a roll. Too bad not many in the stands to see the no-no.

If I sign up on the VE waiting list, is this a firm/binding commitment to buy? Or will I be able to decline to purchase once the release occurs? Thanks.

Maybe cheesecake has less calories in SD! :-))

Charper1, you make some good points, the voice of reason. I feel better after taking a couple of deep breaths. I agree, I don't have much interest in the Food Network or even HGTV (nothing against those channels), but I would love StarzHD and even MaxHD to go along with HBOHD and ShowtimeHD...

Just read on HDBeat.com that Dish added the Food Network HD to its lineup. I am a pretty loyal D* guy but seeing all these HD channels going live on Dish is really starting to make me think. How is Dish able to add all these channels and D* doesn't have the room (this is a serious question...
