    Deal of a Lifetime!

    I don't have the protection plan. Something went wrong and they sent me a new box. I paid $15 shipping and nothing else.

    Can you get the new HD from DISH?

    not a one. have 110/119/61.5 I hope they rethink this. It just seems silly the way there is a new standard for what dishes you need every couple of years. TV should be set it and forget it.

    BBC America HD?

    Chances are if your neighbor gets BBC and The Science Channel, he gets ESPN, also BECAUSE THESE CHANNELS ARE NOT OFFERED ALA CARTE!

    Special Retailer Chat Recap - August 24th, 2009

    In Moscow, you don't watch TV. TV watches you. (My best Yakov Smirnoff impersonation.)

    Dish Programming Changes (Effective August 1st)

    Scott, she's got to be pulling your leg! Dish wouldn't really do something as sleazy as that...would they?

    American Life TV & RTN (Retro TV) - any chance?

    I get Retro TV as one of my locals. This channel rocks! Classic Rockford Files, Magnum PI, A-Team. All great stuff!!!

    Worst case of Shark Jumping

    Okay, here's one. Laverne and Shirley jumped the shark at least twice - a season without Shirley, and then they moved to California. You can't have Laverne & Shirley without Shirley and then having them all moving from Milwaukee to Burbank is like moving Cheers from Boston to Honolulu.

    Connecticut Tea Party

    What media do you follow that isn't 'mainstream?' You can't be referring to the cable news channel with the highest ratings... Or the radio talk show programs with the highest ratings. :rolleyes: These guys like to talk about the media like its something other than the thing thats making them...

    The "What Happend April 1" excuse poll

    I chose Charlie-being-Charlie, but I don't think they will give a reason. The channels will show up in the next few weeks and the next time we see Charlie he will be bragging about the new channels added, without any mention of the broken promise.

    The Dish April 1st New HD Saga (Merged Threads)

    I'm sorry. You accidently wandered onto the satellite forum where people talk about this kind of stuff. Did you mean to go to the 'natural and man-made disasters forum'? Honestly, if you think people are being petty for discussing subjects that they are interested in, why are you hanging out...

    Cinemax For A Penny

    You definitely should not do it. Why on earth would you want 4 more commercial free hd channels with uncut movies at practically no cost to you? You wouldn't. What are the chances that there would be at least one movie a month that you would be interested in? Practically zero. Don't...

    3/25/2009 1:34pm - Uplink Activity Report - 55 changes

    Nobody ever tunes in....and no body ever tunes out! No offense, Scott. But I think Charlie might actually be Wonka.... eccentric millionaire hording all his goodies where the public can't get to 'em.

    Opie & Anthony Fired

    Good riddance! I've hated those knuckleheads since the first time I heard them on WAAF in Boston. The saddest part for them is that they probably blew all their money on co***ne and ho***rs.
