    DIRECTV in Las Vegas

    AT&T has proven with their POTS, DSL and Uverse that they only care about the large population centers. They will keep a satellite presence to keep regulators and the general public off them, but they are driving towards everything IP and selling you their "digital home". Directv purchase was...

    Dual accounts same address Hopper/VIP line.

    I did the same thing several years ago, right after the installer left I shut off the account with my 811/522 once I had my new VIP 722 setup. Dish said my wife was a "new" customer, but wouldn't let me get a new receiver at the time.

    Really confused DTV pricing on new service

    The cost is baked into the package, but for the first 3 months they are eating $45 a month as a credit. After those 3 months, you will be paying for the package.

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    Because their contracts with the providers prohibit this type of access. Directv, Dish and all of the cable companies would scream bloody murder if a company demanded this.

    vip722 or vip722K?

    I prefer the 722K to the 722, everything works a little faster, it was frustrating to have to buy the OTA adapter, but I'm happier with the 722K.

    vip722 or vip722K?

    No ETA on OTA support for the Hopper though, which is what he mentioned, so the Hopper wouldn't work for him at this time.

    Sirius stole $164 from me and refuses to give it back.

    Pretty sure you legally only have 60 days from receiving the bill to dispute. This is why you should check your statements every single month, it amazes me with as much CC fraud as happens that people don't do this.

    Why isn't Standard Definition (SD) quality better?

    What's the size difference in these TV's? That can make a big difference also.

    NAS vs CIFS File servers

    The MD1000 is a SAS drive cage, you can by all means hook it up to a server directly. It can ALSO daisy chain off of the MD3000/MD3000i, but it does not need to. The performance is determined by the drives that you install, there is no performance hit from the SAS connectors with the...

    EA Install

    On the phone trying to get the 1000.4 upgrade, not going well. They are offering a 2nd dish for $59 originally, now down to $29 without much of a fight. I will bite if they go $29 to move me to EA with the 1000.4. Edit Got them to commit to $29 for the EA move, probably could of got it for...

    toshiba 65" 1080p

    DVD's did the same thing essentially, they were 480i 24fps and utilize 3:2 pulldown to keep the video in sync without looking sped up. The only problem is the frames that run 3 are sped up compared to the frames that run 2X, occasionally causing artifacts. Movie theaters usually double up...

    Well if this isn't false advertising...

    Cable customers will NOT be impacted by this change UNLESS the individual cable company decides to force everyone over to digital. And if that were the case, it would have already been happening, which it isn't. Don't spread misinformation.

    Helpdesk Software

    Ummmm... Dishnetwork you need to see how quality HD looks

    1920 x 1080 is also 1080p. Same resolution, just one interlaces. Nobody is doing broadcast TV in 1080p at the moment. At the moment I do not believe Verizon is doing any compression.

    New Coach Allow A Penalty FREE Transfer

    Players should commit to the best education and opportunity a school presents. If they want to follow a coach they should have to sit a year. Otherwise what stops a team from recruiting a player from another school? Let's say Miami has a down year, and Florida just had a great year. Miami...

    Ohio State does not want to play LSU in the BCS Championship...

    Hawaii is getting rolled by Washington, down 3 touchdowns already in the 1st quarter. Doesn't look like Hawaii deserves a BCS bid, let alone a NC shot.
