    a solution to the SV/Distants/DMA/LiL issues

    Was brainstorming today at lunch. The main reason D* and E* can't provide out of market network affiliates just anywhere they wish is to protect the advertising revenue of in-market stations. I don't have a problem with local stations wanting to remain profitable. Why not allow some type...

    DISH 622 vs D*'s HR20

    Any overall comparisons? From what I've seen, the HR20 does have a better interface, and better integration of OTA locals (now that they FINALLY enabled it) than the 622 does. Also, IIRC doesn't the 622 only show EPG data for stations that are included in your own locals subscription? IOW...

    does TWC really have a monopoly here??

    I am in Akron, OH, with RoadRunner from Time Warner. Since I am considering a switch to DISH Network I was thinking of dumping the roadrunner too. It appears that since I am 23000 feet from the service center I can't get DSL. Is that it? TWC or dial up?? I'm not spending $60 a month for...

    i/PAX on Dish Ch. 181

    There is a PAX/I network channel 181 on DISH. Is this a national feed or is it a specific city's retransmission of their OTA signal? Just curious.

    May make the switch from cable...some questions

    I had DISH network in 2002-2003 for a while. Liked it but cancelled it due to money issues. I now have Time Warner digital cable, with RoadRunner high-speed internet. I don't care for Time Warner and want my DISH back. However, I refuse to go with dial-up and DSL is not available in my area...

    DISH322 UHF remote power...

    If I get a DISH322 reciever, and the reciever itself is in the living room and the second TV and UHF remote are in an upstairs bedroom of a 1200 square foot home, will the UHF receiver be powerful enough to change the channel from upstairs through walls and floors? Also, it says "agile...

    Does combining OTA antenna and Satellite signal degrade signal quality?

    I am looking at a switch to DISH, perhaps. If I decide to do so, I have a couple OTA HD channels I can JUST recieve. If I use a combiner to run the DISH signal on the same cable into the house I run the VHF and UHF antennas into, and then split them back up at the reciever, does that degrade...

    Does either E* or D* have HD Pay-per-view on their HD packages?

    couple hd radio questions...

    With TV, they have to use different channels/frequencies to broadcast HD, but radio it seems to be at the same spot on the dial is that right? How can they do that? Also - is there a list of stations broadcasting in HD? Or can I look up by zip code what HD radio is available in my area?

    need advice...

    I'm looking into taking the satellite radio plunge. I've looked at both XM and Sirius, and it appears that while many feel XM has better sound quality, some prefer Sirius too. I've heard XM (have it with DirecTV) and felt the sound was FM quality or better, and I've heard Sirius and it sounded...
