    Stonecold is a bias jerk!

    If each of the points was "polled" first, and those with a majority support included....many more might be on board. As others have stated....its tough to sign the petition when only 25% of the items might be personally consistent with one's view. Sorry - but that list simply has too many...

    DIRECTV Announces New HD!

    Seems quite reasonable. Rolling out new HD channels in buches is nothing new - both DirecTV and Dish do it. June 23rd will see double digit additions, and more thereafter. Its all good.

    HR24 First Look released.

    With SWM units available today (SolidSignal and other places), and DECA units available as well soon....anyone could use these within a full DECA network....both with legacy HD DVRS/receivers and the new HR24/H24 units. No one knows yet any impact or strategy for when MRV is promoted to...

    HR24 First Look released.

    I'm impressed by both the First Look itself, as well as the 2 units themselves. If build in DECA and significant speed improvements don't float your boat, than I guess not much will. Benchmarking to the HR20, for example, makes sense, since it is one of the faster units today. DECA/SWM is...

    DIRECTV RVU demo at CES Satguys missed it?

    That's almost funny. The DirecTV HMC30 box was wide open there in the booth, a DirecTV staffer was in the booth with a logo shirt and badge...not exeactly what I'd call "hiding". Anybody walking past the booth or into it could easily see the HMC30 and the client set up and running with...

    DIRECTV RVU demo at CES Satguys missed it?

    That's interesting. Since it was there all day Saturday....saw it first hand....and no less than open to close on Sunday....saw it myself again - firsthand multiple times each day at different times. I have photos of the HMC30 with time/date stamps on both days if you fell those are...

    Animal Planet coming to Preferred Choice

    I suspect there will be even more changes ahead once the new D12 satellite is activated....more "repacking" of the HD channels.

    DIRECTV RVU demo at CES Satguys missed it?

    Sorry to differ....but I personally saw the Home Media Center/RVU at the Entropic booth on 2 full days - morning and afternoon - on Saturday and Sunday with my own eyes, and a friend also saw it on Friday. Also, in looking at the DBSTalk site yesterday...they had over 50 photos there in 3...

    DIRECTV RVU demo at CES Satguys missed it?

    Actually Scott - having attended CES as well - we had no problem at all finding DirecTV in 7 different places. They were in the Panasonic and Samsung booths with lots of signage regarding their 3D offering this summer, as well as in the Entropic booth showing not only the Home Media Center...

    D12 Satellite Launched!

    D12 is successfully up there now, and needs several months for various testing. I found it interesting that at about the same time DirecTv got D12 up there, Dish announced they are hastily cancelling their CES onsite Press Conference. Guess the apology announcement wasn't written to Ergen's...

    H21 & H23 CE Release for the weekend of 11.6

    NO mrv in the current CE 9/28

    Thread: NO mrv in the current CE 9/28 Amazing how time flies.... I just read the thread header...and never realized September had blown by so far.... Looks like MRV is even further off than some had imagined. :D

    Confused about CE here...

    That explains some of what I was asking. Thank you. I guess I am disappointed at some of the bitterness posted here towards the other site - they have nothing to do with this one, so we could just operating on the high road here and do CE things without any reference or concern about "the...

    Confused about CE here...

    That's kinda what I was talking about - at this site - I don't care about what goes on at another site. This used to be a basic process and program, with enthusiasm and interesting information. This kind of post points out the recent turn to sarcasm, criticism, and name-calling ---- kids...

    Confused about CE here...

    Having just returned from some business travel....I had attempted to catch up with what is going on here with the CE program. What I found is several closed threads ont he topic, several contradictory posts indicating the program at SatGuys is dead, or just fine (depending on which post you...
