    Analyst: Dish could lose billions

    Of course it's hard to run a business when competitors steal your IP and don't properly license it, so I don't blame TiVo at all for falling back on the courts.

    Would switch to this in a heartbeat if it included an option for the HD RSN package.

    Why is Dish NOT splitting Noggin/The N

    I think the ones starting the personal attacks were the ones implying that people who had a simple question about programming were raising their kids badly if they cared about this. Next time someone complains about macroblocking or swimming grass during a football game I'm going to tell them to...

    Nice to see the new HD channels are on

    On my 1080P 60" SXRD HDTV, I saw things like JH - Really Big Things looked sharp, Mythbusters a little softer. But I'm not complaining yet. They both looked better than ever. Just stop the stretching the rest of the day and I'll be pretty happy with Disc HD!

    That's why I assume it wasn't HD. The HD version of Sunrise Earth on Discovery HD Theater is 16:9 with no bars. Animal Planet SD airs Sunrise Earth letterboxed. Today on Animal Planet HD Sunrise Earth had thin bars at the top and bottom because they were cropping and stretching the letterboxed...

    Sorry if this has been asked and answered. A quick search and reading half this thread turned nothing up so I'm taking the lazy way now and just skipping to the end to ask! What amount of space is needed to, for example, record a typical 1 hour hd program? I have several unused hard drives (and...

    NBA game on TNTHD is horrific right now

    I tuned in to TNTHD today for Mission Impossible 2. Within 2 minutes I turned it off because it was so bad. Even my wife, who always says she can't see the macro-blocking problems I notice, said something about it! edit - wow! I joined in 2004 and have never posted before!? That's odd!
