    Comcast 3-D channels

    About a month ago Comcast finally upgraded the system in Connecticut to the Xfinity lineup. Lots of additonal HD channels including a few 3-D channels. I have a Samsung LED 3-D tv so I was thrilled that I could watch ESPN3D. But, when I called Comcast to activate that function on my box, they...

    3D channels

    When will Dish start to carry 3D channels like ESPN 3D? I just got a new 46 Samsung LED-3D tv and would love to have some 3D viewing. I know Comcast, Uverse and Direct all carry ESPN 3D. What about Dish? I think the 922 is 3D capable.

    Digital receiver from Ebay.........

    Has anyone bought a Comcast digital receiver on Ebay and hooked it up? They can be bought pretty cheap. I currently have 1 HD receiver and 1 digital receiver, but would like to get another one without the lease fees. If I could buy one on Ebay and just hook it up, cool. Or would it have to be...

    Length of contract?

    Can I find out how long my contract is without talking to a CSR? I can't find my paperwork as I have been with E for about 1 year. It doesn't say anything on my bill or on-line billing. Thinking of switching.

    322 problem

    My 322, when turned on, shows the aquire sat screen (015) and downloading guide. This happens EVERY time I turn the receiver on! It's not a dish problem because my other 3 receivers are fine. So, I called E* and talked to a CSR who told me that they just did a software update and that I "would...

    Channel Master 4228 question

    I realize the CM4228 is a UHF antenna, but has anyone had any luck picking up VHF with this unit? Antennaweb shows most of my DT signals are 23 miles away and some are closer. But a few are VHF. ABC is 8 miles away and is channel 8.1 and VHF. Some of the STD signals are as far away as 60.8...
