    I want some more HD...

    DirecTV has never in the past, nor are likely in the future to officially announce programming plans more than a few days before the channel shows up on your reciever. So your answer from them directly (no pun intended) isn't surprising. In terms of the late June/early July announcement, they...

    Just installed WineGuard SquareShooter - Question

    There is no such thing as an HD-only antenna. Most (but not all) digital stations are broadcasting in the UHF band (that's analog channels above 13), so you can sometimes see antennas being advertised as HD antennas - this only means that they only pick up the UHF band. The SquareShooter, on...

    MLB All Star Game in HD on Dish?

    Ken's 8 Ball has proven itself to be better informed than most people's cold hard facts. Read the quotes from 'Ken H' - he'll let you know what's confirmed and what's speculation.

    Firewire to Component cable

    There isn't going to be a cable that can do this. Firewire carries a digital MPEG2 stream, and component cables carry analog video. You could put together a cheap HTPC to take firewire in and output component video. There's no way to go the other way (Component -> Firewire) without...

    Are high performance cables worth it????

    If medicine worked like you select cables, we'd still be bloodletting to cure cancer. There is no proof that you can show me to support your claims.

    Are high performance cables worth it????

    I don't know about your scientific mumbo-jumbo, but I personally have seen the improvement on my system by throwing away the crap cables and buying top of the line (insert manufacturer here).

    Are high performance cables worth it????

    You moron, of course expensive scam cables don't make a difference. Study after study have proven that in double blind protocols, even the most experienced ears/eyes cannot tell the difference. The only difference that you think you can percieve is a placebo effect.

    Are high performance cables worth it????

    Yes, of course premium cables make a difference! Why would they be charging more if it was the same crap. Just feel them, they're heavier - more shielding = more performance!

    Next Charlie Chat?

    How do you figure? The hard drive alone goes for $200. Motherboard, processor and RAM has got to be another $200-300. Now add the cost of two 811s (dual tuners) and you're up over $700 fast.

    TiVo Sues E*.

    Re: Another frivolous lawsuit. This is completely incorrect. Technology patents are of the feature or algorithm. Completely independently developed approaches are still in violation of patents. Copyrights work the way you describe. BTW - The Intel v. AMD suits were settled a...

    Dish is nothing more than a pornopoly!

    OK, McCarthy. What makes this country great is that adults can do as they like. This country was founded on this principle. Just as I cannot impose my moral structure upon you, you cannot impose your moral structure on me. You can, however, vote with your dollars. I hope that you and...
