    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    Having now had the Blockbuster@Home for 3 weeks now I must say I am happy. Turnaround for the movies shipped, although not as fast as Netflix (usually 3 to 4 day turnaround versus Blockbuster 5 to 6 day turnaround) is still acceptable. Their rental selections are better and new movies are...

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    Now Cablevision has joined the feud. Fox-Cablevision Dispute May Obstruct Customers May force government intervention. I really don't see how a company (Fox) that makes revenues from commercials would want to eliminate viewers? That's like a magazine cutting back on subscribers. You...

    Crafty way to see ppv movies for less $$

    I go to the Yahoo movies DVD site every week or so and check out what's new because I agree new movies are hard to find on the Netflix site. I recently got the network adapter cable for my Wii and stream a lot of old stuff directly to my TV through Netflix. It's great. Can't believe anyone...

    922 = worst piece of junk ever

    This is nice to know. My contract with Dish is over and I was thinking about bargaining an upgrade to the 922 with them but I think I will wait. I'm perfectly happy with my 722.

    DVR phone connection short

    This is really strange. A few days ago all the phones in my house quit working. Called the phone company they came out and thoroughly checked all my wiring and finally figured out the problem was my 722 receiver. Sure enough, when the line was unplugged, all the phones started working, when...

    Poll: How much HD PPV do you buy each Month from DishNetwork?

    HDMI cable with 722 install

    The company that installed my dish tried to sell me an HDMI cable for $50. I already had a couple from monoprice.com so I turned them down. Upon further inquiry the $50 cable they were trying to sell me was the same $8 cable I got from monoprice.com. What a markup.

    LIP sync and other sound problems

    I have experienced this problem a lot on my 722. Happens on quite a few channels including HBO. Very annoying.
