    Why is the Dish advertising so awful?

    It looks like they do their advertising in-house as opposed to hiring a professional ad agency. Probably saves them a lot of money, but it sure does make them look cheap.

    Anyone enjoying the World Fishing Channel?

    Definitely not. Reminds me of cheap, local, cable access programming.

    Bryant Gumbel is out at NFL Network

    Excellent. Glad to see that smug a-hole booted. Wouldn't mind if they replaced Collingsworth too.

    New HD Channels Are On

    Ok, IF I decided to go back to D*, which I may do if AT&T buys E*, will my old AT-9 dish be all I need?

    Congrats, Tommy. Wish it had been done in a Braves uniform.

    Moffett Mocks DirecTV's HDTV Claims

    I think that's why I appreciate E*'s "all action no words" approach so much.

    HD Channels and quality

    There should be 6 or so more channels added this year. I'd upgrade now but I like several of the current HD channels they offer.

    Atlanta HD Locals Pixelation

    Whatever the problem was, it seems to have been fixed. I have not had many problems this week.

    EchoStar: 6 More HDTV Channels In 2007

    Agreed. I'd hate to lose Rave or Monsters HD just to get CNN HD.

    Atlanta HD Locals Pixelation

    I receive my locals both OTA and through Dish (thanks to Dish not offering program info w/out purchasing the locals). I have not noticed these issues OTA, only from 129.

    Sun Sports HD and SportSouth HD

    I have watched a few Braves games on SportsSouth. Nice PQ, but they need to show more.

    How can E* keep adding HD?

    At least that's what Captain Kirk and the scientist from Back to The Future say. So far it's been a lot of TV commercials and no action from D*. That's why I left them last year. :eureka

    XM or Sirius????

    I'll be surprised if the merger goes through. It should, but politics and heavy lobbying by the National Association of Broadcasters are screwing things up. I've heard both XM and Sirius and definitely prefer Sirius. But that's just me.

    Tnthd Pq - 4/26/07

    TNT must have got the word. I thought last night's Golden State game looked great.

    Tnthd Pq - 4/26/07

    Ugh. Totally unwatchable. I guess we could call this "HD Extremely Lite."

    Leaving Dish AFTER 4 YEARS

    Seem kinda like Prince Charles leaving Diana for Camilla Parker Bowles. Whatever makes you happy.

    Friday The 13th Cinemax Hd Suprise? No, But a May 4th Debut!

    By the way, some other sites/forums are saying that we should have Cinemax HD by or before May 1st. I'm hopeful, but I'll believe it when I see it.

    Friday The 13th Cinemax Hd Suprise? No, But a May 4th Debut!

    I should have said the Bill Maher and Sopranos channel. My mistake.

    Friday The 13th Cinemax Hd Suprise? No, But a May 4th Debut!

    I'd order Cinemax if E* would turn it on. Starz blows. Showtime is almost totally original series now, and HBO has turned into the Bill Maher channel.

    When to Switch?

    I would wait until D* actually does something before you switch. So far D* has been nothing but talk. Also, if Sunday Ticket is a big deal to you, wait until they unveil a Sunday Ticket promo in the next couple of months. In the meantime, enjoy the greater variety of HD that you already have.

    The Future of HD for Dish?

    You might as well stick with the company that is actually adding HD channels rather than the one that's running commercials about the future. Like was previously mentioned, wait until D* actually does something before you switch.

    FSN south (420) vs Fox south HD (370)

    I don't know what the problem is. I've noticed some of the cameras by the dugout have "HD" on the side of them, but it is definitely not being broadcast. I really enjoyed the HD last season.

    FSN south (420) vs Fox south HD (370)

    For some reason, the TBS games have not been broadcast in HD this season. I have been receiving them OTA since last season.
