So is the channel on yet, or not? I didn't check last night because I was reading a book.

Ok, so again...all three are: 1. QVC HD 2. BBC America HD 3. Investigation / Discovery HD Right?

Do they show any nudity?

Hey, as long as we're on this, and I apologize if this is already posted elsewhere, but I've always been hesitant about one thing. Dish says that their HD Video on Demand is 1080p, and I've seen some reviews that say that it really works well and is a very nice product. But when I go to the...

I was thinking that they settled a lawsuite at about that time, ensuring that the NFLN would not be interrupted or taken off during its current contractual period, but I don't remember for sure. Maybe it was a contract signing. :o I'm certain that Dish will want it, and I will want to view...

Also added to the Comcast Package would be extra NFL Video on Demand material. Hopefully Dish can get a reasonable solution to the VOD issue, because I see that as the only thing that the cable companies have it over Dish / Direct TV. I'm not sure how D* handles / implements VOD, but Dish's...

Similar to you having "commercial alternative" channels, I keep "nothing's-on-right-now alternatives" queued up on the DVR. To this end I recorded a few of the swimwear, etc. shows to have around in case I can't find anything better on when I'm folding laundry or paying bills. They're only...

The picture and sound issues both seem to have cleared up. It's an interesting channel, and my daughter loves it. Good addition, I say.

Fashion TV Heavy Pixelation? Has anyone noticed this? I've only watched a few hours of this since it went up late last week, but I notice some brief periods (2 - 3 seconds at a time) of heavy pixelation that washes out the screen. The first few times it happened I thought that they were doing...

Oh yeah, 2nd Question: This Midnight Hot thing, is it something special being billed specifically as "Midnight Hot," or is it just something generically hot that they run at midnight? I noticed a show about Lingerie running at midnight, but nothing specifically titled "Midnight Hot." EDIT...

If Scott's guess (noted, only a guess) is correct, then wouldn't it point to trouble on Viacom's end of things? It looks as if, from what Scott is posting about Dish, that Dish has the road paved and is just waiting on the trucks to hit it. Maybe the Viacom companies haven't yet delivered the...

Yeah, well...keep trying anyway, Scott. Just keep trying. :)

Well then, ok, I'm in!

The 722 has two tuners in it. One of those is designated for a Standard Definition of 480i, the other is capable of HD of 1080i. Your strategy is to hook up the SD tuner to your SD TV, and the HD tuner to your HD TV. Of course the HD Tuner is also capable of rendering the plain ol' SD...
