    SBS Korea Takedown October 1, 2005

    You can order the whole thing from KISBTV by calling their web site. You can either have them ship you the system and install the dish and receiver yourself (which doesn't cost you anything beyond the shipping charge) or you can have someone install it for you. In my case, because I didn't want...

    SBS Korea Takedown October 1, 2005

    I bit the bullet about 2 weeks ago and ordered KISB. Last Thursday they came by and installed the dish on my roof. I am VERY satisfied with the service so far. I was a little concerned by some posts that said that their service is more subject to rain fade than either D* or E*, but with all the...

    SBS Korea Takedown October 1, 2005

    I'm fed up with Dish Network completely. I've always hated their hardware. I've only had Dish for about 18 months, but I've had so many more problems with it than I ever had in 4 years with D*. I'm going back to D*, but not for their meager offering of SBS for $15. I actually tried to get...

    Center Ice/Program Guide

    This has been a problem with Center Ice for years. What I eventually ended up doing in years past was to just get the sports package so I could set my TiVo to record on the sports channel the game appeared on... This works about 95% of the time. Occasionally you'll run into a problem in that two...

    Here's why I think people are so frustrated with Dish Network. We subscribers to their "Korean Variety Pack" have essentially been paying exhorbident fees for basically one channel -- SBS. Two of the other channels, KBS and Arirang, are state-sponsored (and are more-or-less the equivalent of a...

    :( Wife here is also not happy... Update: When I called this morning to DishNetwork to find out what was wrong the customer support person didn't even know what SBS was. This evening for sh*ts and giggles I decided to pester Dish again to see what the company line was. As soon as I mentioned...

    Yes, you're right MBC. Sorry typo :) I would stick around with Dish if they are working on bringing MBC (although its not quite as good as SBS in my opinion) or even if they did a better job of saying why the channel is gone. Can you imagine the outrage if they suddenly unplugged ESPN or HBO...

    SBS Korea Takedown October 1, 2005

    Goodbye E*, hello D* This was the last straw for Dish as far as I am concerned. I have mumbled to myself a number of times over the last year that the only reason why I've been staying with Dish over DirecTV is the fact that they carry SBS on their Korean pack. As another member mentioned on...
