dstke - Do the Dish remotes Control your NEC? dstke - Do the Dish remotes control your NEC? Also, do you use the NEC 'stadium mode' on SD programming, if so how does it look? TIA as I am considering a NEC plasma. Miguel

God help us.

Bobby: Yup he got me - forgot about the X-Men movie that was on when I snapped the picture. Probably my fixation on his "Bush / 4 more wars" avatar threw me off. That always happens when I see, um (being nice), er propaganda. :) Regards.

Gary: The Plasma has great flesh tones and everything else - truly 3D and window-like; sadly, my camera operator is the suck. The pic was not intended to be a screen shot. Regards.

LOL. Single huh? Actually I like the look of the cabinet, if not the Lladros. Since you are impressed with cost of things (like that handsome Rotel gear) you might like the porcelains more than you think. :) Attached is a pic of the setup closed. The MX-3000 allows everything to be...

LOL. Antiquated, hehe. You do know your TV is rear projection right? The Sony HD Wega CRT XBR is a GREAT set. Compare your picture to his - especially the blacks and decide which is 'antiquated'. Can your set do 1080i in NATIVE rate? Nope. Neither can my 50 inch plasma. Not to knock...

I turned the 811 off with the *front* panel button. Short press not a press and hold to cause a reboot. Leave the TV on. After a few minutes of being off (or seconds even) the 811 will tell you it is updating. Good luck!

FINALLY! So now after several hours of the 70's channel I will not wake up with platform shoes, large lapels, and face painted like Gene Simmons? Crap.

Thanks for the reply and for keeping us posted Scott, GREAT WORK! I hope Charlie found something compelling to talk about. :) Speaking of compelling, are there any booth babes in Dallas?

Scott: Sounds like your having fun! With regard to the DPP44 + switch - is it shipping and can you confirm that it will work with the 721? On the issue of OTA, any estimates on availability dates and models (811, as above)? I am a bit worried about the guide info being a crap shoot...

Sure thing! Hope it improves things for you.

Welcome aboard! Just go to the menu - setup - system info is what you are looking for. It will have a software version - the old version is now 265 - I guess the new is 266. To get the update: turn off your unit with the power button on the unit itself. Should have no lights on it. Just...

I got home and tested my OTA on my three local stations. Bear in mind, I test 265, reset, take update and then measure the following within 20 minutes of each other: Before update (265): CBS: 78-82 ABC: 77-81 NBC: 49% never locked except on rare rare occations - did not lock today...

Yeah - ask Hillary about the FBI files of their opponents in the White House. http://www.judicialwatch.org/archive/1999/printer_254.shtml

Charlie said that they have a system for determining whether a customer is worthy of a retention offer when they call to quit. If they are a short term subscriber, don't pay on time, and call to complain often - they do not value them highly and will not spend money to retain them. This was...

LOL, SS you REALLY need PlayboyHD to keep you, er, busy!

Yes, as I said above the deals (I took the 6000 and the 811) have been great except the 811 problems. Very good deals in my opinion. Just wondering if there were any new ones since my 5000 is dying and getting stuck with Dish at this point for a year or more is questionable given recent...

AA: Thanks for the post, I saw the 721 deal but I will not sign for a year with Dish (although that is a reasonable term for the good price) since I am considering a switch in the near future if Dish cannot get local listings done.

Any current "Exclusive" Dish customer offers? Specifically, one that allows for the 721 at a great price with no commitment? TIA

Yes, I have. Even with Digital Cable in my area (Cox Cable) the horrible analog channels made the switch easy.

Nah! You would not have gotten it. :)

As a long term E* customer, I am concerned about the company on this one. I think that E* needs to focus on OTA local program guide info in a BIG way. But since they can not even get hardware issues resolved, I would be hugely surprised if they will tackle this soon. From my...
