    Showtime East and West the same?

    I noticed that my guide shows the same programming on sho-e (318) and sho-w (319). It's been that way for several days now. Anyone know what's up?

    U-Verse Tech comes for new install tomorrow

    You can also use your own router. You have to use theirs as it's the "Residental Gateway" that makes it all work. But you can turn off their RG wireless and the plug your router into one of the ports. I remember seeing an issue or two on the AT&T community forums about people having issues with...

    U-Verse Tech comes for new install tomorrow

    For me, UVerse installed a "G" router. They aren't doing "N" wireless as far as I know. The router is no larger than any of the off the shelf routers. Hopefully you will get the new black router rather than the older white/gray one. But I think that's a function of what they have in the truck...

    Review: AT&T U-VERSE

    Everyone has their own view on quality -- so I'll offer mine. Last summer (just after the 3HD streams were activated in Houston) I had UVerse for 3 months. I overlapped with Directv at the beginning and with Dish at the end. I found the HD quality to be significantly lower than either Dish or...

    Mostly I use 15X.

    Simulating "jump back" after Fast Forwarding

    I'm unusual I guess -- I've always liked Fast Forward better. I'm too lazy to push the button 5 or 6 times. :)

    Simulating "jump back" after Fast Forwarding

    I may be the last person here to think of this but I've found it so useful that I have to post it. I've just come back to Dish after a two year stint with Directv (and a 2 month stint with Uverse). During that time I got use to the DVR automatically jumping back a bit after I transition from...

    OFFICAL: I am STAYING with DISH Network thread

    Just back After a "brief" two year visit to Directv, I'm back with Dish. I had Dish for 10 years prior and I'm happy to be back. We have a Fox owned station in Houston so I could loose that for a while, I suppose. Happily, I'll have the OTA module installed in my new 722K by then.

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    I have U-Verse and I can record 3 HD streams (and 1 SD stream) at the same time. I only have one TV but 3/1 is the limit for the house. AT&T is rolling out the 3rd HD stream by market so it might not be in your area yet. Also, you need to be close enough to their neighborhood connection box...

    Rumor: DirecTV considering buying Tivo

    If Directv did by Tivo, I wonder if, as a condition of the sale, that they would be required to license the DVR technology to Dish for a minor fee. If the the Tivo sale could result in hurting 14 million Dish customers (by losing their DVR), sure that would be addressed before the sale was...

    HR21, grounding and SW hum

    I give up Looks like "no ground" is the only solution. I ran a new line to the ground block and with that new line and the ground wire being the only things connected (the original coax wires were disconnected at both the ground block and the Sat receiver), the hum was there. Again I noted that...
