they won't let her do a tripod on the ground just outside the balcony? I'd have to re-read that FCC sheet, but my porch area didn't offer quite the line of sight I needed, so my dish is on a tripod in a planting area just in front of my porch in order to the get the roughly SW angle it needs...

You want bad? you should have been with Verizon FiOS ~2 years ago, it was horrible, at best... complaints like no episode descriptions were the least of the problems

My renewal second year penny was on my bill this month, I guess I just got in for that deal. I guess I'll have to remember to cancel it this time next year

I was wondering where OP was going... I'm not sure which Channels Dish has 'dumped' that are still available at all, especially in this category of mystical channels that show movies without commercials, editing or changing the aspect ratio. Also, my cinemax for a penny deal with auto-pay is...

I was just wondering the same thing, my year was up sometime in the last few weeks, IIRC

that's my vote, sticking with absolute for as long as I possibly can

nobody ever told A&E that, almost all of the old stuff they show is stretch-o-vision Discovery networks tend to crop and upscale. some of the networks show 16:9 content in 4:3 letter box, because they're too cheap to have bought rights to distribute HD of the shows they air, so you get black...

I'd love to watch big ten network, but not enough to double my monthly bill. Absolute for as long as I can possibly keep it! :)

With the CONCACAF champions league, 5 of the last 6 DCU games have been on FSC, with even more to come, I just wish the preview had started earlier.

oddly enough, FSC was live in free preview when I got home today at 3pm pacific, 10 minutes to game time now, so glad I get to watch on a real TV for a change.

as a dedicated member of La Barra Brava (even though I now live in NV) and DC United supporter, I'm skipping out of work at 3 so I'll be home for the game well before it starts. I was thinking I was going to have to watch it on justin.tv or something, since the local sports bar is terrible and...

FSC, as in Fox Soccer Channel? when does that start?

good read, although I don't see what it has to do with absolute, either

you could move to Nevada or other mostly desert states, no rain, no clouds, no trees, perfect signal!

oh I agree completely. I'm not complaining, because I didn't expect comedy and spike, either. I was just hoping the lucky streak would continue. we're definitely way better than the turbo subs out there, I'm glad I signed up just before absolute went a way, the rumors on turboHD on this site...
