    Blockbuster to close all 300 remaining stores and distribution centers by end of December 2013 or ea

    I subscribed to the blockbuster set of channels for a very short time. Every single disk, DVD or BD, I requested arrived unplayable. The local store was helpful in exchanging it for a usable disk but "request disk online, wait for availability, wait for delivery, unpack disk, curse in...

    Whats The "real" scoop on FOXHD and DISH Turbo Packages

    While I am a member of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, I don't watch much Fox News; TV news of all sorts is sensationalist and shallow because of the timeframes and competitive nature of the medium. Still, it's kind of ironic that we were treated to three weeks of the Obama channel last year...

    DTV transition and Dish sats

    Thanks all for prompt replies! Of course not all digital is HD, but I had a thinking maybe Dish would toss the full stream on the 110 sat. Getting a 61.5 dish set up either myself or by calling Dish (yep, I'm paying for locals through Dish currently) is an option but I'm reticent to tinker...

    DTV transition and Dish sats

    I'm a bit confused about whether I need to take action or not. I'm installed with a Dish 1000 covering 110 and 119, not EA. My locals come in as SD on 110 (Lansing, MI). The HD transmissions are over on 61.5 and therefore at the moment I don't receive them barring hooking up an antenna to my...

    The Thread For Those Cities Without All BIG 4 in HD

    Lansing, MI has ABC, PBS, CBS, NBC, FOX all in SD. :confused: A couple stripped pieces of grounding wire attached to an old balun and taped to a piece of cardboard provides the Dish 722 with 75% signal on local NBC-DT and FOX-DT, though. What the hey, a 3rd input signal never hurt anyone.

    Annual CineMax For $0.01/Yr Revisited

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    I learned from sim-driving that 'turning left' is trickier than it seems; the other cars' aerodynamics are a very dynamic set of forces within which to maneuver a car, which is important when you're already asking 100% grip from your tires. It's a very challenging and technical sport...

    Does anyone believe their DVR is safe after what Charlie did to VOOM?

    Well, there is, but in the sense of "to release" not "to lose or misplace." E.g., "Robin loosed an arrow at the target. However, the shot missed and became lost in the forest. Robin said, 'I hate when I lose an arrow after loosing it!'" :D
