Yep, I knew that. Worked in telephones for 30 yrs.

Verizon is in my neighborhood this week intalling their large orange cables this week. Can't wait to dump COMCAST. :cool:

Charlie, seems like politician that flip flops his promises based on who is listening and when. Maybe he will make good on it when they switch to the next level of MPEG, but I won't hold my breath waiting. Seems like we should all get some kind of rebate on the dollars we spent for their top...

looks like another set of owners has been mislead my Dish. Charlie started off saying ALL PVRs would have NBR, then he backed down to 5XX only. My 721 is great for what I use it for, but it could be nicer with NBR (and was expected when I bought it). When MPEG 4 comes out I'll wait to see...

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM DUDE? I was agreeing with ***hole. Take a big pill

I have the 721. I don't have the everything pack, in fact I have 2 below it, No FEES. :cool:

To educate everyone, the satellite delay equals .25sec or 250ms. You can't get away from the limits to the speed of light. transmitting to a geosynchronous satellite at approx. 26000 miles out takes radio waves (aka light) .25 sec to get up and back down to earth. I worked for a satellite based...

Same thing happened to me on one show night before last so I used rewind instead. Then watched another show without the problem. Seems we may have another buggy software update. Geez, they tell us we will have NBR, then back out without any explantions, then deliver this crap.

Thanks Scott! It locked my computer at work a couple of times before I gave up. Happy Easter

...Charlie and Martha in the new version of "Trading Spaces"

Just read a news story that Echostar aka Dish is being investigated for insider trading....hmmm :shocked

...glad I sold a few weeks ago at 33+. Charlie lost my confidence in his ability to run the company, he sure didn't have a clue about what the equipment they sold was capable of doing. :river Hope he gets his act together for the sake of all the customers and employees

This is truly a sad day for satellite tv customers. Although I'm not a Voom customer or even an HD subscriber losing a carrier takes pressure off the two that are left to provide content and service. I'll even throw in a brick, Charlie has less of an incentive to follow through on his...

Heres a twist. I bought two Sirius subs, and some stock because I heard a taste of the great programming on Dish. Now with the most recent price increase I'm thinking of dropping to 60+ on Dish because I have all the music I need with my Sirius receivers. The only channel I will miss would be...

721 & 921 owners too! Maybe Charlie doesn't want to catch flack from the rest of us he promised NBR to and has not repsonded in any way, let alone giving a pie in the sky roll out date like the 5XX series. ...or on a positive note maybe they have dreamed up a fix for the rest of us PVR...
