    HBO/Cinemax Takedown

    This. HBO’s problem now is they still have shows that win awards, but outside of Game, nobody cares much about them. Westworld seemed like a contender, but even that kind of hit the skids. After years and years, they finally started showing most new releases in the proper aspect ratio, but it...

    Epics/ stars merger?

    Epix has two original series starting this fall, Graves and Berlin Station. The former is a Lionsgate property, the other one is a Le Carre like CIA drama and is from Paramount, and looks quite interesting. So its not as if they intend to remain as just a movie stop.

    Starz losing subs battle with Ergen looms

    At least for those with Hoppers(can't recall for those without), I don't understand why people would pay anything for Starz when it's all available on demand through the receiver anyway.

    Longhorn Game not in HD

    If space is still an issue, why are we going on five or six years now with Dish carrying channels like Logo and Centric in "HD", which have never been, and probably never will be, channels that intend to send an HD signal?

    ENCORE networks are about to launch classic TV hits. What do you all think of this move ?

    Watched Night Court last night, enjoyed watching with no commercials. Can't speak to the syndicated/uncut question, I did see the beginning of Magnum P.I. and it had the 2nd opening theme for the pilot ep, though, which might tilt toward syndication.

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    Saturday my wife says "Hey we got something from Dish". It was Argo, which along with Taken 2, was the extent of my queue since about January. Every so often I checked and it said high demand. The free blu rays were always just bonuses to me, since I always have had the platinum(or whatever)...

    HBO, Max, Showtime, etc... VOD Question for HD

    Haven't really looked at my Roku for awhile, but HBOGo thru my Samsung smart TV is much, much better than the Dish feed.

    Dish falling behind in HD

    Any topic he posts on it's Directv Good, Dish Bad, just ignore it.

    IFC contradiction

    Probably referring to the fact that Scream is a 2.35:1 movie being cropped for 16:9 TVs. Which is almost as annoying as if it was edited.

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    I called our local guys in CR Saturday to switch to Directv. I wanted to get in line for an install before the Hawks game started at 2:30 and everyone realized what was going on. Anyway, yesterday I had to call back there about some rebates, and they mentioned that the girl working Saturday by...

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    I've always been one of the biggest defenders of Dish on here, but today I'll pulled the trigger on Directv. I'm not happy that I'm losing Epix and Retroplex, but it just gets old going thru this over and over. With the BTN it's even worse, since it's a here and gone thing, over and over...

    Voom Settlement?

    With the free Roku and credits, it's already a win-win situation if it ever comes back on Dish anyway. I wouldn't have missed it til October at all, and now don't care.

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    How about a deal where Dish pays a reduced rate and just shows them on Sunday nights. Is there anybody out there that cares about the channel other than 1 or 2 hrs a weekend? Now that Mad Men and Killing are done, I lost track of Breaking Bad in season 2, so I'm good until October when the...

    Dallas

    Yep, I'll be watching. CMT is showing the original eps, at least the mini-series and some of the next season, starting the 14th.

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    If you try to actually use facts with Direct subs, they just counter with, "Well, we have all the ones I care about." Those ten or fifteen others they've never had don't count.

    HBO/Cinemax/Showtimes

    It's hard to see how Dish is behind Directv when D doesn't even offer any of the Epix channels or Retroplex/Indieplex in HD, or SD.

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    My situation exactly. If my wife and I don't watch our blu-ray on Sat or Sunday, it waits another week. We only have four or five new releases in our queue, but get everything pretty quickly. The blurays are just gravy to us anyway, we've got enough shows/movies on the DVR already. So, if...

    How many people are happy with Blockbuster @ Home?

    Agree with you. I was into the platinum pack just to get HDNMV and MGM years ago. Over time it's grown to include all the Epix channels, Retro, Indie, and Sony at the same price. So it's hard for me to complain about the added discs and streaming, even if I did have any problems. I can...

    Bluray Titles LONG WAIT and NOT AVAILABLE in Store ???

    I guess it must just be hit or miss, since I've had no real problems since it started up a few months back. Every disc is pretty consistent in getting back the next day, and the next one arriving two days later. I have three or four new releases at a time queued, and one usually is ready to go...

    Bluray Titles LONG WAIT and NOT AVAILABLE in Store ???

    Paranormal in my queue went from 1/24, to saying available now, which is unusual in and of itself. Got one going back today, so we'll see if it actually ships first.

    Fox Movie Channel starting commercial interrupions 1/1/12?

    Yeah, I liked watching Scooby Doo in about 20 minutes before, not like that anymore. And as far as Fox Movie Channel goes, along with the commercials they've pretty much abandoned the variety of older movies they used to play. It's basically FX without the original shows now. I once again...

    DVR Alert Thread

    I'll be spending the month snagging the few Bonds that haven't been on in OAR yet, namely OHMSS, YOLT, and DAF. Most likely will be shown that way on Epix.

    Blockbuster Movie Pass performance thread

    Yeah, the first couple we did were back in the mail Monday, received/shipped out Wed, to us on Friday. Which was fine since we just watch them on the weekends anyway, but this week it was out on Monday, received/shipped Tuesday, hopefully here today.
