    It was a tough decision

    Thursday afternoon the local cable is going back in for my TV service. Not many complaints about my 2 years on Dish. Local RSN HD full time would have been nice as would have been the Disney ABC stuff in HD. I got on board too early to get Hopper and since I wasn't a new customer anymore, Dish...

    OK, so WHO is lying?

    I'm getting in on this one late in the game so if someone has made this point, sorry, I didn't have time to go through the whole thread. The point that I always point out in these situations is really simple. The broadcaster sees the retransmission fees as a cash cow and feels that the...

    The Dodgers are going the way of the Lakers starting in 2014

    DTV picked up the Lakers games quite a while ago. It leaves Dish as the only major carrier without.

    Sacrament Kings Basketball On Which Channel?

    Why bother? They haven't even updated that information on their own web site for the past 6 years. They want out of that town so bad, they probably don't even have a TV contract this year.

    211k - is there a noticeable lag between HDMI and composite outputs?

    There IS a difference but it is so small that you won't notice.

    Dish / Gannett Dispute Settled! No Channel Removals!

    Another greedy broadcaster that will soon realize how much money they are losing once they are off Dish that can't possibly be made up from the increased fees they were asking for. Let Gannett throw their little tantrum and it won't be long before they come crawling back to the court with their...

    Write directly to Jerry Buss of the Lakers. Remind him that your eyes are not seeing his games but the Clippers look really good in HD this year on Prime Ticket!

    HD Format Question

    "The eye of the beholder"

    Receiver formatting?!

    Sounds like a hard drive glitch. Probably fixed itself in the process but if it happens again call and get a replacement.

    MASN2 Question (Uplink Related?)

    I did have Vin Scully doing a bit more radio like pbp while it was happening. You can be grateful for Joe Angel on your radio side too. He's one of the really good ones. Try this one on for size. Last year the Angels radio guy lost his voice with no time to get a replacement. They simulcast...

    MASN2 Question (Uplink Related?)

    FYI, MASN and MASN2 HD are moved to different transponders almost daily. They share with most of the MLB team's RSNs a limited group of transponders that are reassigned depending on the day's MLB schedules. Sept 12, the O's were home so I can't be certain but it could have been the feed from...

    How Can I Stop Blockbuster@home From Sending Me DVD's?

    Exactly. If they try to collect, report to your local postmaster. It falls under the jurisdiction of the Postal Inspector. They will make it clear to Dish/Blockbuster that they are out of luck. Those discs belong to you. No Charge!
