Be careful of this place... A disturbing number of people are reporting fraudulent activity on their bank cards after shopping here. I would be wary. Sixth Avenue Electronics / 6th Ave Reviews, Ratings and Price Comparison Shopping

I've had UV for about a year now, and have had very little trouble. Our install was fine... the guy was right on time, and did everything I asked of him. At first we had sporadic instances of audio stuttering and pixelization, but an e-mail to support and a couple of days later it was working...

When I canceled my Dish Service, they sent me a shipping box and asked me to send back both the DVR AND the LNB. If they consider this "their" equipment, It seems that they should fix it just like they do broken DVR's. They can't have it both ways... It's their equipment when we cancel, but it's...

Check out this site... Sony BRAVIA VPL-AW15 Projection Calculator - Throw Distance and Screen Size Scroll down & you'll find an interactive calculator that lets you play with things like screen size, zoom length, distance, screen gain, etc. Might be helpful. ;)

I had a very similar problem last night with my 722... was there a recent SW update? While watching The Daily Show, I tried to pause it to talk to my son, and the pause button had no effect. I then realized that the show wasn't recording, and I have it set to record every new Daily Show. I hit...

Same here. The audio was dropping out more and more during the game, and I completely lost the sat feed about 30 minutes ago. And living along the lake shore at the WI border, our OTA feed from CBS has never been good, so I'm now watching Hallmark with my wife! AAARRRRGH!:(:)

I've got 18 months to go on my commitment, and I'm not at all concerned. I go home at night and most of the channels I watch are offered in HD, although not all of the content is HD. But I believe both sat companies and the content providers are working diligently to upgrade their equipment and...

Nope... single dish here. And I only noticed that the PQ had gone south last night, it's been decent up 'til then. Except of course when the Cubs got pushed over to SD while the Pale Sox got the HD treatment, but that's a whole other story!;)

I've seen most of the Cubs games on CSN this year, and IMO last nights game was the worst PQ of the year. Not only was there macroblocking of scenes being panned, but oftentimes when a cut transition was applied while switching to a static scene, the new scene was all macroblocked for a moment...

The above illustrations are certainly correct (except for it being due back the next day... You get about two weeks from Blockbuster for about the same price! :down). However, when we were allowed to save movies and watch them indefinitely, Dish figured that was worth between $4.99 to $5.99 per...

I got my 722 over the winter, and hooked up the audio through the optical out, and all was fine for a few months. About a month ago I was experiencing short, intermittent drop-outs on some, but not all programs. I happened to have another cable on hand, much longer than I needed (6 foot long) ...

That's my opinion as well. Anyone who does any driving in snow can tell you that as soon as your ass end breaks free in a turn, the only way to maintain control is to steer INTO the direction of the skid. If you continue to turn into the curve the back end will just continue to come around. In...

What this comes down to for me is value... Dish just jacked the price up, and now makes the product MUCH less desirable and useful. Given the restrictions placed on it, I would think that Dish would now have to drop the price considerably.... Given that you can rent a DVD from Blockbuster for...

Does anyone know why CSNCH was deleted?

IIRC, when the U.S. Navy shot down that bird a few months ago, they assured us that it was imperative that the bird HAD to be shot down. They said it was too dangerous to allow it to re-enter and burn up, because it still had a partial load of fuel. They claimed that it was necessary, and in no...
