    Usa Hd?

    Was it just me, or was there a new CG shot when Indy rams the truck off the cliff in "Raiders"? If it wasn't, it sure did look different in HD.

    HD Only Package (denied)

    So what channels would I actually be losing if I switched over? I checked the list on their site, and nothing jumped out at me.

    HD Only Package (denied)

    So... If I'm under contract with Dish, am I still allowed to switch to this package?

    Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

    As far as I know, Dish doesn't release subscriber rates on a daily basis. Thus, whether or not the stocks went up today has nothing to do with whether or not people are leaving due to Dish not offering two very popular channels (one of which is the NUMBER ONE ad-supported cable channel). I...

    Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

    Wow...we've reached the point where people are actively trying to get people to sign up for something else. I still can't believe I logged on here, and found out that they turned on CNN HD, and not USA or Sci Fi. And here I was hoping the rumors were true...that it not happening last week was...

    SCI/FI HD and USA HD Delayed till team summit?? (NOT CONFIRMED)

    I'm going to go out on a limb here, and put my faith in the guy who says it was a technical glitch last week, and that things are set for Wednesday. You know, the guy with 27,000 posts.

    Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

    They did say on the last Charlie Chat that we'd be "definitely" getting it before the NEXT Charlie Chat. When's that supposed to be, and what are the odds that they cancel it?

    Wrestlemania HD on E*: $65 of Macroblocking

    Did anyone else catch this? I shelled out $65 to catch Wrestlemania in HD on Dish, and it looked like garbage. I just don't get it. $65 is the most money I've ever paid to watch ANYTHING on TV, and I was treated to a bunch of pixels. I'm not just talking about pyro, either...every time a...

    Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

    Why? What's special about the next 2 weeks? I've been waiting forever for Dish to ass USA and Sci Fi in HD. If I weren't under a contract, I'd drop them in a second.

    New HD Installation

    Thanks. She did say I was getting the 622...I specifically asked to confirm this. My concern is that the installers are going to show up and not have a new dish with them...is that possible, or will they be prepared? I asked if I needs a new dish...she said no, just some new parts. Mentioned...

    New HD Installation

    I've been reading this forum for a few days now, but just now posting... I purchased my first HDTV a couple of weeks ago, and just got off the phone with Dish Network. They offered me a decent deal...comes out to be pretty much even, with the mail-in redemptions. But...after reading some...
