"So when you carp about your favorite seldom viewed narrow interest channels not being available, the rest of us are griping about the transponders space going to waste on channels that maybe get 10,000 separate views per month" All I watch are the intellectual, educational, and knowledge...

Does Dish carry this channel, it seems to be new. I guess it is sorta like Fox :shh Just heard of it. rAy......

"IIRC there were some remotes that chewed up batteries. I had one replaced by Dish on my 622 because of this issue." Gives me hope, thanks.:amen Any chance there is a hole in the case allowing the electrons to leak out over time?:sorry

This is my second one, the first did OK for years, but it seemed that they should last longer. It did seem to reduce life over that time until I got fed up changing them after a month, yes cheap batteries are cheap batteries. On the other hand at my age 6 mths seems like a month, so perhaps...

It controls a vip722. Seems to go for a month. The distance maybe 20 ft., two walls, 2 x 4 wall w/ wallboard nothing special. Its info is as follows; 6.3, IR/UHF PRO, FCC id: dknfsk03, 143037. My second one. Used in bedroom maybe two times a week on/off perhaps one channel or so. The primary...

How about an accessible user list like was done a while back with the stations owned / operated by, my that was a long, complicated one and so many...

"sorta cutting off my nose to spite my face but I really do feel strongly about this. With the exception of a few shows, TV is just a lot of white noise." Like I said in my original statements added quote above. Just what will I really be missing? The most I looked forward to was PBS's...

Perhaps it's not them......but us...... Amen, :deadhorse:I've been saying this ever since I found out 35 yrs ago how I had to watch commercials and pay exorbitant fees and franchise costs. Told the local cable co. to get lost (Comcast). I always thought that the the broadcasters wanted higher...

Chicago Well, I have no idea as to what I'm about to write, but, here goes, Illinois, Chicago Gary, IL. should be Gary, IN. Hammond, IL. should be Hammond, IN. WGN9, add full name (3 plcs), Chicago, IL. WGN 9 Someone clarify this please since...

AMC, rip........ Well, my experience is as follows; I've been with them for approx 10 yrs. Had the lowest tier subscription due to personal budget settings, not a big fan of TV, but do have some shows I like. I had it until they had a price increase that put me over that which I was willing to...
