    Does Google TV work well with ESPN3?

    Thanks. This was a major selling point for me too. Now, if CBS March Madness on Demand streams, the Google TV will be well worth it.

    Rockies Vs. Padres on TBSHD tonite...

    The game looks great, but this is the first content I have noticed in HD since TBS launched. There is really no excuse. A lot of TBS's content was filmed in HD; Friends, King of Queens, Raymond, and even Shrek should have looked better.

    Technician questions

    I had 2 hr20's installed yesterday. While the tech was here, I asked him a few questions. Do you enjoy what you do? How long have you been doing this? and so on. He said he works for a local dish company and is sub contracted by D*. He also said during the summer months he makes $2,500 to $3,000...

    Owned HR10-250 upgrade to HR20 best deal

    Just got off the phone. After saying "cancel" when prompted. I told the lady my 2 year commit was up and I was considering Dish if I was going to have to pay a lot of money for new receivers to get the new HD programming. Without any fuss here is what she offered me: - HR20 for $99 to replace...

    Connection Question

    Would a High Frequency Splitter or Multiswitch work?

    Connection Question

    actually I have 2 questions: 1) Is there any problem with using a splitter on the satellite cable coming out of the wall, where one line would go to an h20 HD receiver and the other to a DVR? 2) I just purchased an H20 receiver off eBay. It is used, but the guy is sending me the access...

    Charles We Want Espn2hd!!!

    I gues I am a better "flipper" than you. I watch 2 games at the same time all the time. Heck, when I use Picture in Picture, I can easily keep up with 4 games at a time :) . Sports were meant to be seen in HD! Keep 'em coming ESPN!

    What time Espn2 HD COMING ON??

    What are you talking about? I wasn't talking about your Bobcats. Oklahoma State University (OSU) played Florida Atlantic tonight on ESPN2 HD, our first taste of ESPN2 HD on D*. Be not offended.

    Charles We Want Espn2hd!!!

    You have missed the point. During peak football and basketball seasons, ESPN could not show 2 Games in HD at the same time without 2 HD Channels. ESPN is ahead of the majority of companies and are set to go when the "switch" is made to all HD.

    Charles We Want Espn2hd!!!

    FWIW, I left Dish last month after one year of service. They showed absolutely no intentions of adding channels/programming. I am a D* subcriber now and can't wait to check out the OSU/FL Atlantic game tonight and all the football and basketball in HD this Fall and Winter on the Deuce HD. I left...

    What time Espn2 HD COMING ON??

    Is it me, or does the SD programming on ESPN2 HD look better than the SD programming on ESPN HD?

    What time Espn2 HD COMING ON??

    It is on here. I am glad to have it and anticipate what the OSU/FL Atlantic game will look like. Sports were meant to be seen in HD! It will be nice this Fall (and winter with Basketball) to flip from one game in HD on ESPN to another on ESPN2 HD.

    HDMI, How much did it improve

    your PQ? I did a search, but have not found a lot of recent info. Has D* fixed the "flicker" problem? Is an HDMI connection superior to a component or S-Video connection? I am a E* convert and am wondering because with E*, the HD PQ was much better with an HDMI/DVI connection.

    ESPNU and CSTV

    Thanks guys. Everything you said is true. I contacted D* about adding either of these channels and it was a no. As smackman said, OLN can be added a-la carte. I went ahead signed up for the Sports Pack, really want to give it a try.

    ESPNU and CSTV

    I am having D* installed for the first time this Wednesday. Will I be able to get ESPNU and/or CSTV by purchasing the channels individually or will I be required to buy the Sports Pack?

    Install Question

    Hey guys, this is my first post and I wanted to say this is a great site. I have an installation appointment for this Saturday and had a couple of questions. What cables did they use to connect your receiver to your TV? I will have an 811 connected to a new HDTV with component and DVI inputs...
