Ahhh... someone starts a thread that references gay people... and now, here come the ignorant hets who think that's their cue to make "jokes" about gay people. Not jokes about Logo or its programming, but about gay people. Old jokes. Tired jokes. Pathetic. Ken McPherson

Wow. So I guess all the glowing comments about 3d from everyone on this forum who actually has 3d (including Scott) are delusional? If what you say is true, why is every manufacturer out there is expanding their 3d line? Why have none dropped their 3d lines? Why are new 3d projects being...

I'm in a similar position. I've held off on 3D because in order to really become immersed, you need the largest screen possible. For me, that means a projector. Until recently, 1080p projectors were both cost prohibitive, and very dim in terms of brightness. Last month, Optima released the HD33...

Raymond, Is there any information on when Dish will expand it's 3d channels beyond VOD? Thanks

'Cause everyone knows calling someone a "commie" is absolutely hilarious...

Spoken like a person who uses words he doesn't understand...

How many people had HDTVs when Discovery launched DicoveryHD? How many people then bought HDTVs after seeing DiscoveryHD at a friend's home? 3DTV adoption is following the same path HDTV adoption did. Fortunately, this time around, Dish will not have to replace receivers/satellites because...

On occasion when driving on long windy mountain roads I have problems with motion sickness. If I had that feeling as a result of watching 3DTV, I would not be interested in 3DTV. I get it! But what % of people will have side effects with 3DTV? At this point, that answer is unknown. If it's a...

Agreed. If the side effects are significant, there's trouble in River City. But other than side effects, what else could possibly stop 3DTV with the entire broadcasting/entertainment/sports/porn industry fully behind it? I apologize if I was too long winded in previous post, but so far, none...

The opinions of individual choir members are left behind when the conductor walks into the room. In this concert, the conductor is Dish. They are about to take the podium. And they don't share your opinion of how to conduct the score! What are you gonna do? Quit the choir? Ken McPherson

Gosh KAB, that doesn't particularly concern me. Nor is there any evidence that you speak for the choir. Ken McPherson

Like I said; technology moves fast these days: Toshiba Mobile Display touts 21-inch glasses-free 3D HDTV, raises a few eyebrows -- Engadget Ken McPherson

Hey Ghpr13, great post! Agreed. The two prime examples of your point are Avatar and Clash of the Titans. Avatar was designed and shot 3D from inception. Titans was not designed for 3D and was "up-converted" as a result of Avatar's huge success. The 3D in Titans was largely panned by movie and...

OK, OK... I give up. I was hoping to avoid this, but the level of misinformation in this thread is a bit to much for me. Let the 3D pissing match begin. NAYSAYERS Wow. These guys have VERY strong opinions. What are their opinions based on? We don't know. What evidence do they have to...

Kab, if Dish agreed with your opinion that "3D in it's current TV evolution should be ignored", they wouldn't be preparing an announcement on Dish 3D for next month. Apparently they know something that you don't. Or perhaps you consider your opinion more informed than Dish? In my original post...

Apparently Dish, given what Scott just revealed. Ken McPherson

Fantastic! Thanks Scott, I was hoping you had heard something. For those who prefer informed opinion, AvsForum has added 3 new forums covering all aspects of the new technology. 3D Central - AVS Forum As a result of reading every thread in all 3 forums, I'll be moving to 3D within the next...

With all due respect, I doubt your personal opinion (or mine) has anything to do with Dish's plans for 3D. But Dish may be paying attention to this: Panasonic has upped 3D TV production by 30% | News | TechRadar UK Ken McPherson

Why is Dish so silent regarding it's plans for 3D? Given Directv's imminent launch plans it seems well past time that Dish should be making their thoughts known. Has anyone heard anything about 3d from Dish? (Please don't respond with comments about whether you personally approve of 3d or not...

Same problem. I use s-video to feed my htpc. For the past few days the aspect ratio has been stretched first thing in the morning. Toggling the * does not solve the problem. The solution has been changing the setting in "HDTV Setup" from 16/9 to 4/3 then back again. This is definitely a new...

Again, I for one am not yet convinced a fight is appropriate. If that turns out to be the case, in my experience with this arena (25 years, resume available on request :)), you don't go to the boss until you have the leverage to be taken seriously. As you suggest, an individual approaching a...

Why thanks, Gophie. But that's not how it's done. Ken McPherson

And the purpose of your response? Ken McPherson

I agree completely and the process is already underway... BTW, my description says "freshman" but I've been a daily reader since SatGuys began. Actually, I go back to the very beginnings of DBS Forums in the days of Dan Collins and Bob Haller (hi Bob). I know the players. IMO, it's way to...

Actually, Dude, as I have already clearly stated, I am not assuming anything. You're the only one talking about a "grand conspiracy". But I do intend to investigate the situation, regardless of other people's presumptions and value judgments. Then I'm going to report what I learn (or don't...
