    Slinging It on the 922

    I don't know if it's related, but for the last two days, my 922 keeps dropping off my network. I sometimes watch on a computer in my bedroom and I never even had to configure the Slingplayer, it just found the 922. Now, it disconnects after a few seconds. I checked the broadband settings, and it...

    Indie channel on 293 and 378???

    A note about The Travel Channel...at one time LONG ago, The Travel Channel was almost like a shopping channel. It was owned by an airline I believe, and showed a lot of infomercials for resorts and vacation packages. This may explain its placement. Another explanation...it used to share an...

    DISH Launches Palladia

    I agree this stinks, but why does everyone thing Palladia is a Platinum channel? I haven't had DISH for about 6 months (thinking about coming back when I get out of my temp living situation) but Palladia was always a basic channel as long as I had HD (back to the Voom days). HDNet, HD Theater...

    Smee! Don't talk me out of it, talk me out of it, Smee!

    Assuming you mean content, not contexts...the specific issue is Centric and Logo. They are sold as HD-Only channels, but the channel provider does not yet provide an HD feed at all. They also did the same thing with WFN, but they now have a true HD feed. I would assume the same thing will...

    EyeTV Sparks from Coax to USB

    I'm not familiar with this product, but it could be a wiring problem in your home. I had a very strange problem on a circuit...I won't get into it, but it would do all sorts of strange things on anything with a DC converter. That includes sparking from an RF coax connection.

    Cartoon Network HD issues...

    I've been having a lot of audio dropouts, but I haven't watched in a couple of weeks.

    Additions on December 16th

    Hmmm. I haven't had cable in over a decade. There are more people in the Phoenix metro area than in the entire state of CT, so you'd think PHX would get everything too, but I have no idea how these companies operate these days.

    Additions on December 16th

    Everywhere? I'm moving to Gilbert, AZ (ironically, there's a DISH uplink farm there) and I was going to stick with DISH, but it looks like Cox has been adding a lot of HD recently.

    The 8 Temp HD Channels...

    Holy crap. I hope there's no limits on ignore lists here.

    Epix & Dish in Talks

    The FIOS deal is unlike any other I've seen, assuming the reports are true. FIOS is paying them as if they were a basic channel (a small fee per subscriber), but selling it as a premium. Normally, premiums do a straight 50/50 or 60/40 split. FIOS is doing it as a gamble, betting they can sell...

    Epix & Dish in Talks

    Well, assuming that is true (actually, even if it's not), then there is absolutely no point in posting "any news about Epix"? every day or two. If anyone actually had any news, don't you think they would just go ahead and post it here? This thread would be half the size without your unending...

    11/11/2009 Uplink Report

    Just relax. Stuff changes package flags all the time. It's been there forever, and if you were supposed to be getting it, you probably would be. Every once in a while, DISH blows it and a bunch of people won't get something that was supposed to be turned on. You'll hear about it...don't worry.

    So what ever happened to the new HD channels?

    It's launching this month.
