Thanks Dreddick for posting that email. Last year E* showed all the Indians games on STO in HD. Must be they are carrying more HD sports networks this year and haven't allocated enough transponder space to cover all the games. The SD version sure looks like garbage and is pretty much...

...Depending on your setups some of you guys may need 44 switches to keep 129 available (at least for awhile) so your can continue to see the Indians games in HD. E* is usually not to eager to hand these out. Can't wait until I get home from the office to check it out. Its been a long wait.

...of LAST baseball season and have not been able to view either. Its kind of pathetic to say it, but yesterday's uplink was major progress in E*'s snail like movement toward giving us Cleveland HD LILS. I suspect that the RSNs not being available on 61.5 might be the part of the most...

...would be happy to see the HD locals and RSNs on 61.5 That said I am very disgusted with the wait and am about ready pay the penalty and jump to D*. Scott says that Cleveland HD LILs will happen in the next two weeks and that's about all I'm ready to give it at this point as the foliage...

What satellite is the HD feed coming from?

Well if we are supposed to be pointed at 129 rather than 61.5 then why did they point us all at 61.5? I know the answer is VOOM was originally only at 61.5.

I had my "free" receiver swapout done yesterday to allow for the VOOM MPEG4 transition. Obviously I wanted STO HD so my installer and I made about 10 total calls to Dish playing CSR roulette trying to find a way they would allow me to add 129 while retaining 61.5. If I had known how...

HDMM, I have the VOOM upgrade scheduled for Saturday and they are replacing my 110/112 Dish 500 with a Dish 1000 (will request 1000.2, thanks P. Smith) Hopefully this will allow for decent reception from 129, if not I will make them add a 3rd dedicated dish for 129 because I want STO (and...

Try to get them to send another installer to make sure the first guy was correct.

I suspect that Jim Liberatore and Fastball Sports Productions must have really caved in on their original pricing scheme for E* to have picked up Sportstime Ohio. Roda on WKNR claimed that Fastball originally demanded more from the satellite providers for carriage than they requested from the...

I just heard Bob DiBiasio of the Indians talking to Mark Schwarb on WTAM saying the the contracts were all being negotiated and he expects that everyone who received the Indians broadcasts last will year will get them this year with only the possiblity of a small block or two of early holdouts...

It was blacked out in my local area.

The same exact situation happened to me. I am probably a half month ahead of you and the $250 just now appeared as a charge and I have a huge autopay coming up for July.

...setup. My new 942, which I've now had for 2 days, is much more noisy and for some reason I think the PQ was a little better on the first one. E* did kindly offer to prorate my monthly charges because the receiver "doesn't work like its supposed to" even though the loss of the ability to...

...resellers ebay store [MaxxElectronics]. The seller refuses to take it back, so I am considering contacting his local police about his sale of stolen property. :mad: The E*tech I tried to activate it with said to always get the SAID and reg numbers off the box before purchasing any resales.

...HD OTA channels with my 811 AND like sixbears I have a Pioneer Elite RPHDTV. Decided to rehook up my VOOM box and use that for HD OTA. Forgot how phenomenal HDNET and DISCHD look with the 811/Elite setup. Expect the VOOM10 to look just as nice next week when the second E* dish is installed.

Smiley, Hopefully you received the free Winegard upgrade when you had V*. Mine works great even with my POS D* 811.

Once you leave *E for *V HD you will never want to go back. The big question is will Chuck Dolan be able to keep his vastly superior service alive. Once your OTA issues are worked out and with the much improved state of the VOOM software, you will be quite happy that you made the move up.

Nathan, I've virtually followed the exact same path as you. D* for ten years then a switch to E* when the 811 became available for free three months ago. I also "saved" my D* run for VOOM and Thursday I had VOOM out for the install. Do it. VOOM is a great HD service and at the present...

I did the same thing as you about 3 months ago and I most certainly regret it. The SD is much darker on the 811 than you received from D*. I hate the 811 and will be relegating to my kids rec room TV and using the E* 301 for my main TV SD viewing as soon as VOOM is installed next week. Must...

...in finding out if anyone has managed to get out of their one year Dish commitment. The 811 is truly a POS. The newest problem is that the channel guide does not at times conform to channel on the screen with the PPV channels popping up all over the place. I pine for the old days with D*.

I have my 811 and I wish that I didn't. Can't wait for the last ten months of my 1yr DISH commitment to end so that I can go back to DTV.

Have to agree with Gordon here. DVI is better than S-Video, but still way too dark for my tastes. Some channels are better than others, but in general the picture quality is poor. Night scenes on the darker channels are unbearable, as the images all seem to run together. I suspect many...

Component and DVI outputs also give dark virtually unwatchable SD pictures from some 811s. There has been no fix to date.

I paid nothing for my 811 and it is worth nothing. The SD is so dark it is virtually unwatchable especially after watching a bright D* picture for so many years. I am tired of constantly having to do resets. My cable company does a much better job with the locals. E* advanced tech told...
