Did anyone also happen to see that they also removed MGM-HD from the movie package. It was 15 channels now down to 11. I really liked MGM-HD. Added later: I just noticed this thread is old, but i was getting all 15 chnnels from the movie package up to last month when i got disconnected due to...

My guide does not show channel 540 at all, why is this...I just had the 4k Joey put in 3 days ago. Can anyone help...also, I noticed on the dish settings under TV You can choose 4k, 1080p,1080i (all one setting) or 720p. Isn't it true that 4k tv's only upscale progressive signals, so I have to...

I want the 3D Olympics. Terrible they don't have it.

I am sure for some people this will work out fine, but for me, I can be patient and wait a few months and buy the Blu-ray, which has an uncompressed picture (yes even 1080p is compressed on sat) and lossless audio, and actually own the movie forever with all the extras. Seems like a huge waste...

My biggest fear! My heart goes out to you. I have 6 external drives and worry about that every day. You might want to think about getting an external hard drive, the enclosures I hear about always seem to break down, especially the switches. Oh, and I probably would have cried. You don't get...

Yes it sure can, but it does not pass 1080p to each eye, I believe the PS3 is mostly 720p 3D. Only HDMI 1.4 can transmit 1080p (for each eye).

Microsoft refuses to offer an exterenal Blu-ray drive, which may have something to do with the fact they spent millions backing Hd-DVD and the format lost, so maybe some pride involved? Meanwhile, blu-ray is going mainstream and Microsoft should offer the drvie if they were smart.

That's great to hear, thanks for that information Scott. I just ordered my new JVC RS-50 3D D-ila projector and 4 pairs of glasses, and have about 15 Blu-ray 3D titles so far, but am excited to see more on Dish. I don't think I'd pay $7.99 for them through, I would much rather just wait for 2-3...

I also purchased the Western Digital Elements 1TB drive, it will be my 5th drive (the others are Seagate Freeagents). I have not opened it yet, I was looking through the thread but it is SO long I search but could still not find any info. Is this a drive that you can hook up right to Dish DVR...

Thanks for your response. I have 3 Seagate Freeagents (tghe black ones from a few years ago) and one freeagent pro 750gb. I leave them unplugged, and when I want to watch a movie on them plug it in, and of course it always registers. I figure this is less wear on the drive than it spinning all...

I have read so many pages in this thread but there are so many posts so I hope no one minds if I just ask already......I have 4 Seagate Freeagent (black model from 2 years ago) external stand-up drives and they have worked beautifully. I have noticed that the recent models don't get the greatest...

I agree with you. I looked at DirecTV front page and it's much more exciting and eye-grabbing. I can't sign in to Dish right now (errors) to see more, so I'll have to wait. But their front page still needs a revamp.

Well, being a big movie fan myself, the ten-thousand-some titles Netflix has to offer for streaming just doesn't kick it for me. Take out the thousands of tv series episodes (in which each episode is counted as a separate title) and the thousands of one and two-star movies (out of 5) and there...

Personally I would rather have seen BBC America HD added.

Too bad no announcement of BBC America HD. Hurrrrry up already lol.
