    Wiring for both Dish AND Cable

    I don't know if this question has been asked before (couldn't find it in a search), but here is my dilemma... We just bought a house that is approximately 60 years old. It is prewired for cable in some rooms, but is lacking outlets in key areas of the house that we need (i.e. master bedroom)...

    Dish to Launch DISH Earth Channel

    I saw this channel a few days ago, now it's gone from my guide. Is anyone experiencing this?

    Standby problem with 211

    Hey folks, I am having a new issue with my 211 boxes. My receiver recently downloaded some new software and now some of my settings have been changed and I have no idea how to fix it. Before this update, I could leave my receiver on and have it not go into standby mode and just update the...

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    Yet, the repeats magically went away once Voom was dropped from Dish. At least with Monsters, their lineup is the best it's ever been. Therefore, the repeat cliche is over. If you like repeats, go check out any of the premium movie channels.

    $59 61.5 wing dish for Des Moines, IA HD locals. Opinions please ...

    I fall into that category. I live downtown and my eastern view is shaky, at best.

    $59 61.5 wing dish for Des Moines, IA HD locals. Opinions please ...

    This is B.S...Anyone who wants HD channels in the Omaha metro will have to get a second dish? Real smooth Dish...way to think things through (again). Screw 'em, I will just keep my little Radio Shack antenna, I get 20 channels on it anyway.

    Using a VIP211 as a DVR?

    Like the R5000-HD? That does all of that, doesn't it? I would imagine that would be a pretty neat setup with a media center PC.

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    I agree...I think Rainbow would rather dump the Voom product, since there is probably no hope for any other provider to pick it up; take the money and invest in their other channels. If Rainbow wanted to keep Voom alive, they would not be handling the issue in this matter (unless they're under...

    FOX NEWS HD - Where are you?

    Fox News is okay...I always find myself watching CNN during elections and natural disasters, because they always have better coverage. Besides, that annoying little troll that is Sean Hannity makes me want to kick my cat everytime he opens his mouth. Fox News does have some, ummm, nice candy...

    When on Friday can we expect new HD proramming

    Let me guess, you voted for GW, didn't you? :rolleyes: BTW, global warming IS real. The only problem is, humans are more than likely only contributing 3-9% of the pollutants that are causing it (more if you want to count the rainforest slashing). If you want to blame something for global...

    DIRECTV Remains Clear HD Leader with 130 HD Channels

    Epic. I love how whenever Charlie is planning a big unveiling, D* comes out of the woodwork and gets him in the gut. I should get a hold of a Dish CSR and see how long it will take to convince them that they're not the HD leader? :p

    Nobody ever won by playing a sloppy game of catchup. Who is Charlie going to blame now? Let me guess, the economy? :rolleyes:

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    To me, the premium channels like HBO, Cinemax (to a lesser extent), and Starz (especially) are a complete waste of money. I challenge anyone to look through the guide and actually try to convince me that they don't just repeat as much or more than the Voom channels were (outside the 6 month...

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    I would give my left nut for TCM HD...However, I can't see that happening anytime soon. They have so many movies that it would probably take several years to 'remaster' it. I will probably get railed for this, but I would take TCM HD over any of the Voom channels, including Monsters.

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    I agree about MGM...I have recorded quite a few movies so far. They actually show a few classic horror cheese flicks from time to time (Pumpkinhead, Killer Klowns, The Thing with Two Heads, TerrorVision, and a few Vincent Price flicks). If Dish could somehow get IFC HD (not likely now), it...

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    Just because Voom "failed" over their tenure and it's their fault (as far as we know), doesn't mean people can't miss the content. Do you honestly think Dish's lineup is better without Voom? We all know it had nothing to do with capacity, so theoretically, Voom could have coexisted with the...

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    Rainbow just needs to get it through their thick heads that NOBODY wants to take on their entire package. You pick out the best ones (for me, only Monsters and Voom Movies) and offer them a la carte. Because it's true, when it comes to substance, very few of the Voom channels qualify. Heck, I...

    That's okay. They can fire back at me and call me a tree-hugging hippie...I would take that as a compliment! :p

    Commercials on Universal HD

    UHD didn't have commercials until late last year. Although I don't mind the length of their commercials, I do mind when their channel is being offered as an Ultimate Channel that is not commercial-free. Plus, they need to lose that obscenely large and distracting logo they have...good Lord.

    Why would Dish turn off the HD feed in the middle of a baseball game?

    Hmmm...Maybe because the product is better? Just a thought.
