Spike Hd! Spike Hd! Spike Hd! Spike Hd!

Glad to have found this thread...I was excited to see the new HD channels, then bummed when I realized all the VOOM channels were gone, especially MonstersHD and Kung Fu HD. Chiller is more TV-show related than movies, which is fine (love me some NightStalker), but I do miss being able to flip...

According to Comcast, it would cost me $2000 to have cable just run down to my home. I live in a subdivision, where 99% of the houses all have cable hookups, and because my house and 4 other houses are back a bit from the main road (approx. 5000 ft.), I (and all my neighbors) have been told...

Love Monsters HD, followed by Kung Fu HD. :D

I posted a similar question to "Ask Dish" on the sticky thread. I just don't get the extra $6 charge for essentially a HDD. By the end of a year, you could've paid for a 100 GB HDD (or larger), but that's not what you're getting as far as space goes. If they offered additional services like...

I apologize if this has been addressed already... Why is there a $6 DVR fee? Does this pay for some kind of extended service like TiVo? Or a "networked" HDD like Comcast so you have lots of space to save things? If I'm paying a $5 lease fee + $6 "DVR" fee for nothing more than a HDD, I'd...

I'm getting the Atlanta locals. I live in north Alpharetta. I actually have 3 separate dishes that emulate a "Dish 1000" set up. He was going to move my 110 and merge it with the 129, but my house is in kind of a valley, so the signals wouldn't "bounce" right. My setup is a SW64 with dishes...

Just got my 211 about 2 weeks ago, and here's what I've seen so far: Software version: Will check at home tonight and update Dish setup: SW64 switch--119, 110, 129 (New HD dish) Description of bug: Picture freeze/slowdown; sound "pixelated" OTA Antenna: Philips interior powered antenna...

I think I need to call Dish as well... I first got Dish installed in 1998, because they had locals at the time, and DirectTV didn't. At that time, you had to have a separate "local" dish, which pointed in another direction than the main dish. So, once the whole Dish 500 thing came along, I...

I'll have to check it out. I've been a subscriber since 1998, so I've still got two of the older units. I got a DVR last Father's Day, but kept my old unit so I'd have PIP. I would like to upgrade my upstairs unit to a DVR. That would help out when the wife and I battle over shows to record...
