Thanks. This was a major selling point for me too. Now, if CBS March Madness on Demand streams, the Google TV will be well worth it.

The game looks great, but this is the first content I have noticed in HD since TBS launched. There is really no excuse. A lot of TBS's content was filmed in HD; Friends, King of Queens, Raymond, and even Shrek should have looked better.

HR20-700 Last 2 hrs. I had nothing on 9300. Checked just now and I am seing: - NFL Network HD on 9300 at 1080i with side bars and D* logo and itx80(? i think) on left side bar - Blank screen on 498 - 480 and 481 say "BBC confirmed working" - 9301 coming in too, but could not determine...

I had 2 hr20's installed yesterday. While the tech was here, I asked him a few questions. Do you enjoy what you do? How long have you been doing this? and so on. He said he works for a local dish company and is sub contracted by D*. He also said during the summer months he makes $2,500 to $3,000...

Just got off the phone. After saying "cancel" when prompted. I told the lady my 2 year commit was up and I was considering Dish if I was going to have to pay a lot of money for new receivers to get the new HD programming. Without any fuss here is what she offered me: - HR20 for $99 to replace...

Thanks Jimbo.

Would a High Frequency Splitter or Multiswitch work?

actually I have 2 questions: 1) Is there any problem with using a splitter on the satellite cable coming out of the wall, where one line would go to an h20 HD receiver and the other to a DVR? 2) I just purchased an H20 receiver off eBay. It is used, but the guy is sending me the access...

I gues I am a better "flipper" than you. I watch 2 games at the same time all the time. Heck, when I use Picture in Picture, I can easily keep up with 4 games at a time :) . Sports were meant to be seen in HD! Keep 'em coming ESPN!

What are you talking about? I wasn't talking about your Bobcats. Oklahoma State University (OSU) played Florida Atlantic tonight on ESPN2 HD, our first taste of ESPN2 HD on D*. Be not offended.

You have missed the point. During peak football and basketball seasons, ESPN could not show 2 Games in HD at the same time without 2 HD Channels. ESPN is ahead of the majority of companies and are set to go when the "switch" is made to all HD.

FWIW, I left Dish last month after one year of service. They showed absolutely no intentions of adding channels/programming. I am a D* subcriber now and can't wait to check out the OSU/FL Atlantic game tonight and all the football and basketball in HD this Fall and Winter on the Deuce HD. I left...

Is it me, or does the SD programming on ESPN2 HD look better than the SD programming on ESPN HD?

It is on here. I am glad to have it and anticipate what the OSU/FL Atlantic game will look like. Sports were meant to be seen in HD! It will be nice this Fall (and winter with Basketball) to flip from one game in HD on ESPN to another on ESPN2 HD.
