    Blockbuster On Demand content on iPad while traveling internationally?

    Has anyone successfully accessed Blockbuster On Demand content via the iPad app while traveling internationally? I ask because Netflix streaming is not available for US subscribers in most non-US countries, so I was wondering whether the same licensing limitations apply here.

    RSN (Altitude Channel in Denver) with Dish Absolute HD package?

    Has anyone been able to add the Altitude Channel to their Dish Absolute HD package? When I called, they said that the Multi-Sport package (including Altitude) requires a Bronze level base package or higher (even though the Bronze package costs the same $34.99/mo). Are there any creative ways...

    DishHD is great, but...

    1. No regional sports networks (in Denver, I really miss Altitude for the Nuggets) 2. No CNN (HDNews sucks) 3. No Sirius a la carte (DishCD sucks) Please provide this feedback to the Dish CEO/Executive offices at 866-443-5162. I was told by the executive staff that every call made this...

    When will the $200 off HD expire?

    I currently have about 2 months remaining on a great Comcast HD deal, then I plan on jumping over to Dish. But I don't want to miss out on this promotion. Anybody know when it will end? CR did not seem to know...

    Returning to Dish

    I've been taking advantage of a sweet Comcast deal for the last year, but I'm contemplating a return to Dish (especially now that they have local HD in my market and a nice selection of other HD channels). How do I find the best deal on getting subscribed with an HD DVR?

    Will Dish get Altitude in HD? (Comcast does!)

    I was watching the Nuggets game tonight and was annoyed by the announcer welcoming Comcast viewers watching Altitude's first HD broadcast! I thought Dish and Altitude had a special relationship? Comcast was a last second player in all of this and they have HD first? Anybody know what's going on...

    Splitting Dish signal

    I have a dual LNB Dish with one line feeding my family room and one going into my master bedroom. Both of the runs from the dish come into a central wiring hub in the basement where signals are then routed. I would like to watch Dish in another room but not pay for another receiver. It wouldn't...

    Why am I sometimes able to watch NBATV games?

    I have AT100 w/locals. No Multi-Sports Pak. Sometimes I can watch NBATV games and sometimes I cannot. The games do show up on the guide all the time. Which also begs the question: can I watch the NBATV HD games if I have the HD pack?

    Any plans for INHD on Dish?

    I notice that they've got an HD Everest documentary (blind climber) and the NBA All-Star game...would love to see these in HD. Does Dish have any plans to add INHD?

    Question about HD Special Events Channel

    I've only seen a couple of "events" actually occurring on this channel. Unfortunately, they were both NBA games (both including the Dallas Mavs) that were blocked out...I live in Denver. Why are these blocked out? Is this channel free? Am I missing out on other events? Where is a schedule?

    Using an IR universal remote to control 811...problems?

    Has anyone else been experiencing delays in response using an IR universal remote to control the 811? My universal does not have delays with any of my other components. I'm using a Radio Shack 15-2117, which, by the way, is the best deal out there for remotes right now ($29 for LCD, backlight...

    If I have an HD subscription to Comcast cable, can I plug the feed into the 811 OTA module? Will the channels be integrated into the guide like with local OTA?

    811 remote and HTIB systems?

    I have a Samsung HT-DB600 (HTIB w/built-in DVD player). I've tried all the Samsung codes but none of them work. Does anyone know if there are codes? Also, I have a Terk remote extender (converts a standard IR remote to UHF). Does anyone know if the 811 remote could control this extender via...

    Need advice on trying to use 811 and 508 at the same time.

    Here's my setup: Currently I have the 811 hooked up via DVI to my plasma in the living room. In the bedroom upstairs, I have a 508 hooked up to a CRT. I have RG-6 from the dish outside to the basement. From the basement, there is RG-6 that goes to each of the rooms (including the living room...

    Question about OTA: HDTV vs DTV signals

    When receiving OTA, there is actual HD programming and just digital programming. On the 811, will I have to set to HD output to see HDTV and then SD to watch just plain DTV on the same channel?

    PQ of SD through DVI connection?

    811 and DVI

    1. Has anyone found out whether a DVI cable will be included with 811s? 2. Is there a difference in PQ based on the "quality" (or, price) of a DVI cable? Isn't DVI a digital connection and therefore "on or off", unlike analog connections?

    A couple of 811 questions

    1. Will the 811 unit come with a DVI cable? 2. I know retailers are expected to have 811s available on 12/1. Does anyone know whether Dish Network will have them available then as well? 3. Any word on an incentive for existing customers?
