    What's the deal with the Monsters HD channel.

    THANK YOU.. thats my point exactly. If MONSTERS HD had always been like it currently is.. well OK. I might be miffed but I wouldn't complain. The fact that it had been what I consider a great HD movie channel with many different horror offerings throughot the day and week, then ABRUPTLY...

    What's the deal with the Monsters HD channel.

    Thanks for the insightful post Tony. You must be one of the few people who thinks that 2 movies repeating over and over is a good thing? I wouldn't be upset over repeat programming when it comes to movies. I was completely ok with the way Monsters was running before the end of the year...

    What's the deal with the Monsters HD channel.

    the programming is ridiculous. 2 movies a day, including ones from the 50's and 60's no one cares about is just completely unacceptable. I kept hoping that this was just a VERY short problem that would change back to the way it was but it seems that that is not the case seeing that its now...

    HDNet: Art Mann Presents (Fridays @ 9:00 PM ET)

    hey all. Art Mann presents is the greatest guys show ever, but am I crazy or is it now being censored? less cursing and 'blurred' nudity what the heckis going on? Do they show the UNCENSORED versions later in the night?

    Retailer Chat LIVE Recap - March 10, 2005

    I don't know what to do. I was told that the 61.5 dish was left along with the newly installed 1000. I guess I'll have to wait when the next installer comes out to install the new switch. Regardless I have an OTA antenna that picks up thew majors really well. But would love to get the WB in...

    Which OTA HDTV Antenna?

    Dish Horror stories. I can't take much more!!

    Yeah. I didn't say I beleived the guy. That's just what I was told. My point I guess is that thus far my experience has been beyond ridiculous and it seems as if every CSR I talk to hasn't a clue about much of anything. The guy who told me I needed the dish 1000 was adamant about the fact...

    Should I be concerned about installation?

    Be very very afraid! :mad: :mad: AND sometimes It doesn't help at all to call and verify. Long story short. Last wednesday I called to switch my 811 to 211. Paid my $49.99 upgrade fee, CSR said no problem, call back tomorrow and we'll let you know when you can expect it. NO MENTION of...

    DVI or COMPONENT cables, Is there really THAT big of a difference?

    Good god! I went out this morning and spent the $75 on a monster DVI cable so I could do a test myself. And after switching back and forth from the DVI to the Component,, I like the component better. No real difference in the picture quality as far as sharpness goes, but the colors are a...

    DVI or COMPONENT cables, Is there really THAT big of a difference?

    Actually just found one hell of an article and thread that had my head spinning! :) What I've come to realize is that a DVI cable wouldn't be bad to own regardless of my situation. Might come in handy in the future:) http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/34579/122868.html
