Guess it must depend on the show then, as Smallville and Dead Like Me run without any commercials.

HDNet doesn't run commercials during shows.

Hopefully we will see Vs. give the NHL more prominence. According to Bettman, Versus got their highest ratings ever from Rangers/Pens Game 4.

I assume that you, like me, do not have a separate Vs. HD channel, have a shared Vs./Golf HD channel. Presumably Comcrap (who owns both networks) decided to show Golf instead of Vs on the shared channel.

They fixed it after the first period.

But that mind remind people of the lack of Speed HD! :P

Bingo, that's exactly what it is.

Got the update. What the favorites popup means is when you are in the guide and press guide, instead of switching to the next favorites list, a popup with all the lists comes up so you can pick exactly which list you want, instead of having to press guide repeatedly to get to it. There's now...

My paper (SJ Mercury News) last week had a 2 page Dish ad that had the same thing. I mentioned it a few days ago in the complaint thread. There was another oddity in the ad I saw, as it also showed a widescreen Boomerang slate. Otherwise, it was HD channels they already have.

Yes, it phones home; once a month, I believe.

I'm so happy to be rid of the box, my 622 arrived on Monday. The 622HZ really shows how crappy software can cripple good hardware. The regular 622 is the best DVR I've ever had.

You definitely didn't see them as week, because they went up today. So yes, they will have games in HD.

Damnit Scott, what are you talking about? This is not just some regular contract we're talking about, it's NHL NETWORK! The contract is printed on a jersey. Please, tell me how you could possibly fax a jersey? I've tried, it doesn't work. Just makes a big mess. P.S. You wouldn't happen...
