    Unethical Behavior?

    I had a different result this year. I've only ever done one referral. The submission was done online. It took five monthly calls for them to actually provide the stated benefits of the referral. Each month the CSR acknowledged that they saw it had been submitted and I would "see it on my bill in...

    DRM / HDCP Cracked - could this be good news for consumers?

    Are you kidding me? Never tried to lobby it? We you alive in the 80's? They were desperately trying to lobby against home recording in the early 80's. Transcript of the HEARINGS BEFORE THE SUBCOMITTEE ON COURTS, CIVIL LIBERTIES, AND THE ADMINSTRATION OF JUSTICE on the HOME RECORDING OF...

    Ex-wife will not return receivers

    ^This. Either you entered into a no-fault and everything was supposed to be settled before the filing or you itemize it as claimed property in a filing. I'm with the previous people who said to kill the service and see if she surrenders the receivers. If not, paying the termination will be a...

    VIP 612 loses place in shows

    Mine has been a mix of external and internal. It's not consistent so I can't tell if this is some kind of software quirk or there is something more significant going on.

    VIP 612 loses place in shows

    Apparently I'm still not making myself clear. Here it goes again... Watching a prerecorded program. I stop watching during the program and move on to something else (live or another prerecorded program) When I return to the original prerecorded program the play location has reset back to...

    VIP 612 loses place in shows

    I rarely watch something that is in the process of recording. Every instance of this is for something already recorded to the 612.

    VIP 612 loses place in shows

    I can't seem to find other threads on this particular thing so here's my attempt. I have a 5 month old VIP 612 DVR that frequently loses its place in shows. I will be watching a show and exit out of it to come back later only to find that the play position has reset back to the beginning. This...

    Turbo HD

    :confused: What are you talking about? It's not my thread. I didn't open anything. I was pointing him to another thread that was second from the top in the list at the time.

    Turbo HD

    People really need to get on the same page on this question. This thread from yesterday says that that yes, they are absolutely still available and just aren't being advertised on the Dish site: http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/186769-hd-only-package.html

    HD-PPV

    When I search this model CNet's review is from 2006. That's back when there were a bunch of televisions being released that actually didn't have compliant HDMI ports. There was also some issue with how it was being applied. There were models where the HDMI port would only respond from it's...

    Just got the $10/month Platinum charge removed...

    That's basically the same wall I hit when I tried.

    Midwest/Indy "moving" question Erie/Buffalo locals?

    Just a mention, three of our stations in Erie are still standard definition if that makes any difference for you.

    Hard Drive Bargain Watch

    I went with the My Book Essentials 1TB drive and it works just fine. Once formatted it had about 930GB of space.

    OK Erie, PA...

    Well, here's my guess. WBEP is owned by Lilly Broadcasting and operated by WICU and WSEE. It's being broadcast as a digital subchannel of WSEE. Since it's a subchannel it's probably not being transmitted in anything other than SD in the first place and WICU still hasn't got their digital act...

    OK Erie, PA...

    They activated early yesterday evening. You'll have HD for WJET, WSEE and WFXP. SD for WICU, WBEP and WQLN.
