Yeah I have one. Will there be an upgrade program for existing SB owners? I know I can get my SB 2.0 upgraded to a SB29 (for a fee, of course :)), wasn't sure if maybe I could get it upgraded to a Turbo S2.

I'm a bit sour on this already because Dish won't just mail me the boxes for me to install myself, even if I had to buy the other pieces/parts to implement (like nodes, splitters, etc.). This is the same Dish Network that wouldn't take my 200 bucks and let me upgrade to a 922 without a truck...

I managed to convince them to send me a 722 back a few years ago. For the 922, they told me no. I threatened to cancel and switch to cable and they still said no. Not even Exec Relations could override it. As it sits, I'm kinda glad since I would probably want to switch to XiP anyway.

It's a double edged sword for me. I have Time Warner for Internet and Dish for TV. I should qualify under Time Warner, but their system says if I don't get ESPN through cable, I don't get ESPN3. At the same time I get ESPN through Dish Network but I don't get ESPN3. I'm not going to switch...

Not likely. InDemand is owned by a few cable companies and they're not interested in helping Satellite TV carry their native content. They could've offered this stuff on the Internet and to Satellite Carriers all this time (as Internet VOD). Howard's actually touched on this within the...

Once I re-aligned my 1000.4 with the Superbuddy it has been pretty much smooth sailing for me as well as for my brother. The only thing I learned is that it pays to make sure to peak on the peak transponders. Seems to have made all of the difference. 77 is still a no-show for me though. I...

They should just give me 10$ a month credit for a year. Basically for paying for Platinum, Starz, and getting encore as part of AT250, I'm gifted with 6 PPV coupons I'll never use (worth about 24$). Such a deal... not.

WFVX is on 7.2 in SD Digital over the air. WFVX is in HD on Cable and DirecTV because DirecTV's uplink for locals in Bangor came 2.5 years later and DirecTV is co-located at FOX. Dish is co-located several miles away at the NBC affiliate. Dish can't get a HD signal from FOX and has finally...

I have it on cable, so I'm not as worried, but it would be nice if they sort this out so I can schedule recordings, etc.

They just barely uplinked it and you're already hatin'. :) It's possible they just screwed up or something lagged and they wanted to launch the others so they launched it. Since the WFVX HD guide section just says WFVX HD, that channel is definitely 'half baked', but the question is why...

WFVX is definitely not in HD... Masterchef is in HD on my cable feed but not in my Dish feed. It's very obvious that their feed is a SD uplink.

Looks like a good day for us here in Bangor ME.

My TV55 has been the only thing that can actually pick these stations up at all. Every other brand and type I've used (short of something that mounts on my roof) has yielded less, not more. :) Once Dish adds my locals in HD, the antenna is going into storage.

Seems stupid to me. Our FOX station received Digital Flash Cut permission in Sept of last year (They applied in April 2008 I believe) and still seems to have no public plan to move to UHF 22. I'm really curious what the standard for this thing is with other stations (they were low...

I've no idea why they did it, but the numbers definitely explain why the experience is garbage. MPBN (WMEB) is on VHF 9 @ 15kW and that's a hard one for me to get too. UHF definitely favored me. I'm using a Terk TV50 which is VHF/UHF, so I doubt that's it.

Right. I don't know how much power they were using when they were on (I think it was Digital 25). However, they decided to switch a few months after the 'conversion' back to their Channel 2 location on VHF to try to 'cover more area'. The CBS station is owned by the Hildreth family if...

I'm pretty sure the NBC affiliate has a repeater down near you, perhaps on Blue Hill (I know WLBZ has a tower cam there at the very least). The problem with VHF here has to do with their setup in Holden I suspect. There's been plenty of people that gripe about this online. I'm penalized...

At least the 18th isn't bad. I was expecting with all of these satellite moves, upgrades, etc. that we were going to be jammed up for another year. Ever since NBC moved from UHF to VHF here, the quality of the signal has been garbage here in the city. I'm sure it's better further out of...

You're going to have to learn something about patience sometime. Now might be that time.. ;)

That'd be quite a jerk job if so. I see a lot of DirecTV dishes here and I believe that having FOX in HD is part of the situation since it's only a digital SD subchannel over the air (and a weak signal too). I get ClearQAM with my Cable Internet connection. It'd make the most sense to me...

We shall see. I wouldn't be surprised if Dish uses a local cable company to feed the locals into their network somewhere in the country. Sure it is.. That's how I get it right now.. It's been in HD on cable forever. :) On my TV I believe it's channel 88.1. DirecTV also offers it in HD...

There's many different ways this can be done. The cable company here originally used point to point microwave to get the locals into their network. There's also no shortage of fiber on the poles, you don't need your own private feed. In all seriousness they could just pull them all in...

I can't wait for Dish VOD because my Internet connection no longer sucks horribly.

Not here they aren't. Fairpoint New England is a DirecTV partner ( Television Service ), just like Verizon was. TDS Telecom is a Dish partner here though.

I'm glad about this because I've always wanted NASA"s audio feed with the HD picture they give to HDNet. It sounds like we could have the best of both worlds soon if Dish picks this up.
