My parents called me and told me that they lost a lot of channels. I went over there and they got no signal from 61.5 at all. I can't go on top of the roof cause we got too much snow. I think I tell them to go with comcast and drop dish completely. They lost signal during bad snow storm and...

Just out of curiosity. How Does HD-DVD players doing ? Is the sale of the players are what they expected ? If neither sales of Blu-ray nor HD-DVD are what they expected they might go back to the drawing board and come up with the Combo that can play both. That would be nice.

I not sure this has already been brought up already on this forum. Anyway I was at Bestbuy the other day and went through their HD-DVD selection and notice that the case mention something about 1080p I thought HD-DVD player can only handle 1080i and 720P only. Is the new spec for these...

I really think it will be a long battle before we know which one will win. We can't really compare them to the Betamax. Betamax can only play movie and record TV programs while both Blu-ray and HD-DVD are not just for playing movies. They're both can be used to store data on the PC side and...

I just went in to my Netflix account and so far they only have one movie on HD-DVD catagory. Million dollar baby

A lot of poeple are still clueless about HD thing. One of my co-worker has an Projection HDTV for almost two years and didn't even take advantage of it because she didn't know that it's HD-ready. I told her to bring the manual book in so I can look at it. All she told me was that her TV is...

I also agree with that. DVD became sucessful much faster becasue we can just plug in our TV and play. Poeple want the DVD so much they even buy the RF converter for those who don't have RCA jack and S-video input in the back of their TV. Most poeple will hold out to buy the HD set first...

Not sure if these are already on the list Alias eventhough it was on for 5 season already. Love monkey I kind of like that show.. male PG version of Sex and the city.

I was reading Maximum PC magazine today and they have a spec comparision between HD-DVD and Blu-ray. It looks like their video specs are the same. This is what it said on the chart (I can't find a link to the article) HD -dvd MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264 Blu-ray MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264 But on the...

That's what he was telling Dish people when he called to activate my receiver. They were giving him a hard time that he didn't install Dish 1000. Out of curiosity I ask him why and he told me that you don't get good signal in new england area with Dish 1000.

I'm kind of leaning toward Blu-ray due to the large capacity. But I will not buy the player though. I will wait for the recorder to come out. I already have HD-DVR to record my HD shows, no hurry to get one right now. I will wait until the recorder and media are dirt cheap then I'll buy one.

There should be more tech like you and then this forum will be very quiet. nothing to complain about. I must admit that the tech that came to my house was very good though. He seesm to know what he was doing and didn't take him long to finish the job.

I just had the same upgrade done except the tech refuse to install Dish1000. I live in Connecticut and he told me that you can not get good signal with Dish1000 in new england. They were giving him a hard time when he called to activate my receiver and told them that he installed Dish500 not...

Well, after the third phone call. They finally got it right. May be it's because I ask for her name. She could give out her last name due to company's policy but she gave me her Operator ID instead. But boy, I didn't have to go through all those problems. $49 for installation and dish which...

Still better than none right ? If it wasn't for the contract I'd drop them like a hot potato already. With Comcast I even get $25 off my bill for 16 months if I were Satellite owner. Or I can go with Direc TV and let's hope the service is better. If they don't shape up that 13 millions...
