    Under a commitment after being told i would not be.

    Been a dish customer for 4-5 years, never under a commitment sine my original 18 month one. Last fall, after trying to figure out ways to save money due to both my spouse and I being out of work, I called Dish to see what i could do to get my bill lowered. I lowered a package level...

    Issue on Saturday Night (UFC)

    Ok, a quick background, a few months ago we disconnected our home phone to save money, and have been paying the $5 a month for not having our dvr hooked up. I wanted to watch the UFC(HD)pay per view , and knew i would probably have to run an ethernet cable to purchase it, but then i found...

    Local FOX channel out of sync.....

    I had it too, with my local fox station, and when i contacted them, they blamed the provider, which for me happened with Comcast, and then again with Dish. I bet its the equipment that the Fox affiliates are using.

    Odd issue wtih CPU freeze ups

    I am 99% confident in the issues being not related to spyware/malware. I have fixed literally a couple hundred PC's with those type of issues, as i diagnosed and fixed issues for a side job for a few years. This is somethign different, and i had never seen the CPU usage monitor exhibit the...

    Odd issue wtih CPU freeze ups

    Its nothing out of the oridinary running as far as i can tell, that was one of the first thing i looked at, ran spyware scans and they wre spotless (at least for as long as i could afford to let them run with the issues, completed 100k files worth). No real downloading or anything is done...

    Odd issue wtih CPU freeze ups

    Additional information, the PC takes about 2 minutes to boot up if not longer.. at first i thought it was the HD failing and causing these issues, until it began to happen when just trying to open "My Computer" to access the list of drives sometimes taking 30 seconds or more. it even can...

    Why rent Dish Online when free elsewhere?

    maybe not everyone wants to sit in front of the PC to watch their shows? its 99 cents, its a fair price for some extra convienience. Also, is it commercial free on dish? NBC makes money by selling ads on their site, as does Hulu. NBC may require the payment as part of the agreement...

    AL CENTRAL

    Its more than the hole at 3B, it gives them another power type player to help balance the batting order, and protect Morneau, health is the only issue with him. They lost the division in the playoff last year, but this year they have added Crede, they have Cuddyer back after basically a lost...

    AL CENTRAL

    Anyone care to revise their predictions with Crede now landing in MN? I had my Twins middle of the pack this year, but with Crede for even half the games, I put them as a favorite to win the division, and if he stays healthy all year, they have a shot to go to the Series.

    Everquest 2 anyone?

    The kiddies only permeate certain parts of the game, mainly the lower level starting areas as they get bored before they level too high. I have moved around guilds and am suprised to find how many 30-50 year olds are playing, i am in a guild that has only 1 teenager and the average age is...

    Comedy Central in True HD

    Fail! Fox, NBC, ABC and CBS are NETWORKS, using many affiliates to rebroadcast its programming. calling TBS or CC a station isnt actually true, but a closer representation than the networks.

    too bad your first post was declaring that CC HD wasnt doing HD, its not our fault you changed your tune midway thru the thread.
