    Audio (Volume) Difference between HD and SD.

    Here is an interesting tid bit from a broadcaster about the problems they are having nationwide with the HD/DTV transition. Audio is one of them. I assume the Sat providers are having some of the same problems. Audio levels on OTA is greatly different accross the channels. Some of it has to...

    EchoStar A Winner In The AT&T BellSouth Deal

    This is the key. I think satellite will eventually shrink back to the rural domain unless they can get a decent, cost effect internet access going for their customers. Cable and phone companies have the inside track right now. D* and E* are supposidly working on a joint venture to get a...

    Dish Olympics Update

    Didn't I see posted earlier that it would be available to all customers, not just the HD subscribers? I still have my 811 but dropped the HD package last year. Not a big deal as I will get it OTA on NBC anyway.

    OT The "Super"bowl?

    I thought the commercials were pretty good. The magic fridge and Fed Ex comes to mind. The Stones were great compared to the trash last year. At least we didn't get Rapped/hip-hopped as seems to be the trend now days. Amazing how Jager still gyrates at 60 +!! Thought the game was pretty...

    Dish Has ‘Free Speech TV’ Problem

    E* should just drop this station as it is terrible. Who in the hell watches this trash anyway? Drop FSTV and use the bandwith for something better E*!

    Advice please! OTA antenna Install question, should I wait?

    Since you already bought an antenna, go ahead and install it. You can buy a diplexor (2 - one for each end) to combine the Sat and Ant into a single coax and slpit it back out to the tv and receiver. You can buy diplexors at Lowes.

    Who does DISH think they are!

    Call your credit card company and dispute the charge. If they billed you before the alloted time to return then they are in error and need to be called on it. You may also report them to your state's Attorney General for fraud.

    Dish 811 receiver. Help please!!!

    Dump the 811 (piece of junk anyway for OTA) and get an STB if you are only watching OTA. LG makes good ones.

    OTA HD antenna question, could my Satrelite installer do the job?

    Can't find anything about a Silver Arrow antenna, but, you may try putting a pre-amp on it. 70-75% strength is pretty good. The dropouts are likely to be from the stations themselves. In my area, I get all of the networks at pretty much the same strength. (in the 70's). However, my 811 will...
