    Wow, E* just made Comcast very competative

    I think HD will severely hurt the satellite carriers. With the E* HD Packages, Comcast is now very competative and they do not down rez their HD content and the locals are in HD already. Comcast: Added $5 for HD Digital Platinum $97.40 Digital Gold $87.85 Digital Silver...

    Ala Carte?

    Can't beleive not much posted here on this. The FCC supports customers of cable and satellite being able to get only the programming they want without having to take a "bundle" of other programming they do not want or watch and save money. Sounds reasonable. If this indeed goes into effect...

    ESPNU, channel 609 on D*.... :D Hint to E* .... :rolleyes: Oh! Did I mention ESPNU is on channel 609 on D*? :confused: Well, if I didn't, channel 609 on D* is ESPNU. :eek: E*? Hello? Anybody there????? :confused: The season starts in 10 days.... :shocked E*? Anybody...

    What happened to the poll?

    What happened to the ESPN poll? Iceberg, what's up? That was a valid poll about ESPN and E* and would have liked to participated. :confused:

    Locals too compressed?

    Something I noticed this weekend. On my locals,the picture is very soft and there is a lot of banding on the color. I assume this is from the signal being overly compressed. The banding really diminishes the picture, especially if you record a program. I checked the OTA analog signal and the...

    Need some D* info

    I am currently an E* subscriber. I am disappointed in their HD package and dropped it after the Voom channels were picked up. Now, I am very interested in getting ESPNU but E* does not carry it and are not saying if they will pickup or when. :mad: Since FB season is only a month or so away, I...

    For those who want get ESPNU

    For those who want to get ESPNU I emailed the ceo account a couple of days ago asking them whether or nor E* would be picking up ESPNU, especially before college season starts. I had previously asked customer support but got the "we don't know" answer. Well, two days+ and no reply. This is...

    Scott, or anyone, know if ESPNU will be added soon?

    Saw on the D* forum where D* is rumored to be doing a promo 1 August to give away thier HD, Mepg4 equipment with a 2 yr commitment. I am interested in getting ESPNU, which D* carries, but E* won't say if they will or not. Do any of you insiders/E* employees know if E* will be picking up...

    Since E* won't tell us....

    Let's make a list of the possible reasons the 110 satellite is inop: 1 - Charley tried to uplink his ego and overloaded the circuits :no 2 - Aliens have comandered the satellite to use it as countdown beacon to initiate an earth attack ala ID4. :eek: 3 - E* lost enough money on the...

    Once again, E* asleep at the wheel

    Another poor response from Dish concerning when we might get ESPN2-HD and ESPNU. D* already carries ESPNU and I'm willing to bet they will carry ESPN2-HD before E* does. I will give E* till August. If they do not add these channels then I will become a D* subscriber. If they do add these...

    LNB Problem

    I have a Dish 500 I am having trouble with. I suspect it is the switch but I am confused on the LNB's. I can get the 119 but not the 110 satellite. (Used to get them both just fine) It doesn't matter which LNB as I've tested them both. I've done check switches, re-aimed, re-skewed and...

    Court Blocks FCC's Broadcast Flags Rule

    Court Blocks FCC's Broadcast Flags Rule Friday, May 06, 2005 WASHINGTON — A U.S. appeals court on Friday threw out new federal rules requiring anti-piracy technology that would have limited how consumers could record and watch their favorite television programs in the future. The U.S...

    Whats the deal Mods?

    jbryant789 voices a complaint about the Voom HD move and gets shut down because NightRyder doesn't like it? His complaint is similar to mine but not totally the same. Give the guy a chance to speak without having to wade through 5 or 6 pages of posts.

    Has Dish become the new pig?

    I called E* yesterday to check on getting the Voom Channels. I currently have the HD package and thought the Voom channels would become part of that. I have only a Dish 500 so I checked about getting the 61.5 signal. Well, to get the 61.5, it will cost $100 for another dish. This was not...

    July 1st on track for increased HD OTA signal

    July 1st is the deadline for local stations to broadcast their DTV/HD signals at the same or stronger than their analog signal. The good news is it does not look like there will be another delay so our OTA reception should get a lot better soon. I asked a local station yesterday about when...

    P287 problems starting to surface

    While th sound drop out has improved (still happens though) I am now getting video freezes. Happened twice this weekend and requires a reboot to fix. There are a couple other weird things but not significant. Lets just reboot the 811 twice a week and call it Windows-E* ..... :no

    Why no PBS-HD?

    I get this channel via OTA and it is great. Very good programming and the HD content is excellent. I know PBS is available on local packages but PBS-HD is not. E* should provide this channel as I'm sure not many can actually get this OTA. Perhaps you all should ask Charlie about this on the...

    Follow up ?'s on Voom

    Thanks for the comments. The one glaring rip was on sports. Looking at the channel line up, I see Fox Sports Net and Sunsports with the cavet "1 Regional programming not available in all areas". With ESPN(HD), and ESPN2, this appears to be as good as E*. College sports is my preference. Does...

    Considering switch to Voom

    Am currently an E* subscriber. It appears that Voom will be surviving so I am considering changing to Voom. How do you all rate the HD content and equipment? E*'s HD receiver has a lot of problems and it seems they can't fix it and promise fixes in later S/W releases. Getting old. Anyway, let...

    811 owners - P285 Release

    Have you had persistant sound drop outs? I have. Sometimes 5 times a day and then days without it happening. :( I called E* Sunday about it and was told it is a software issue, happens on all 811's and the coming s/w release will address that problem. Funny, but I was told that back in...

    A new quirk on my 811

    I have not seen this before nor have I seen anyone post about it. This morning on the SD channels, they were all very blurry. Looked like a convergence problem. I checked my ota's and the TV was fine. Checking the 811 HD channels, they were fine but going back to the SD channels, they were still...

    Did I understand this correctly? (MPEG4)

    From the chat on the Dish forum, E* plans on going to mpeg4. This will make the current HD boxes useless? We would have to buy new boxes? Time frame is four years. I wonder how many will drop E*?

    OTA STB vs 811
