    What's the deal with the Monsters HD channel.

    THANK YOU.. thats my point exactly. If MONSTERS HD had always been like it currently is.. well OK. I might be miffed but I wouldn't complain. The fact that it had been what I consider a great HD movie channel with many different horror offerings throughot the day and week, then ABRUPTLY...

    What's the deal with the Monsters HD channel.

    Thanks for the insightful post Tony. You must be one of the few people who thinks that 2 movies repeating over and over is a good thing? I wouldn't be upset over repeat programming when it comes to movies. I was completely ok with the way Monsters was running before the end of the year...

    What's the deal with the Monsters HD channel.

    the programming is ridiculous. 2 movies a day, including ones from the 50's and 60's no one cares about is just completely unacceptable. I kept hoping that this was just a VERY short problem that would change back to the way it was but it seems that that is not the case seeing that its now...

    HDNet: Art Mann Presents (Fridays @ 9:00 PM ET)

    hey all. Art Mann presents is the greatest guys show ever, but am I crazy or is it now being censored? less cursing and 'blurred' nudity what the heckis going on? Do they show the UNCENSORED versions later in the night?

    Retailer Chat LIVE Recap - March 10, 2005

    I don't know what to do. I was told that the 61.5 dish was left along with the newly installed 1000. I guess I'll have to wait when the next installer comes out to install the new switch. Regardless I have an OTA antenna that picks up thew majors really well. But would love to get the WB in...

    Dish Horror stories. I can't take much more!!

    And The Drama Continues,,,,, oh god where to start, SO the 211 became a 411 (No ethernet port) but whatever, I was happy that my new HD receiver finally showed up. Guys put the new dish up, came downstairs and called to activate receiver. This took 2 times and half an hour. But finally it...

    Which OTA HDTV Antenna?

    HI, I have been using the Channlemaster stealthtenna with the preamp that fits into it for 2 weeks now and it works like a charm. I live 25 miles from the towers in northern VA. I even installed the thing under my deck and the only thing i need to do is go out into my back yard and...

    Dish Horror stories. I can't take much more!!

    Yeah. I didn't say I beleived the guy. That's just what I was told. My point I guess is that thus far my experience has been beyond ridiculous and it seems as if every CSR I talk to hasn't a clue about much of anything. The guy who told me I needed the dish 1000 was adamant about the fact...

    Dish Horror stories. I can't take much more!!

    :mad: posted this elsewhere but felt it needed it's own thread. Last wednesday I called to switch my 811 to 211. Paid my $49.99 upgrade fee, CSR said no problem, call back tomorrow and we'll let you know when you can expect it. NO MENTION of wether I need dish 1000. I expected I...

    Should I be concerned about installation?

    Be very very afraid! :mad: :mad: AND sometimes It doesn't help at all to call and verify. Long story short. Last wednesday I called to switch my 811 to 211. Paid my $49.99 upgrade fee, CSR said no problem, call back tomorrow and we'll let you know when you can expect it. NO MENTION of...

    DVI or COMPONENT cables, Is there really THAT big of a difference?

    Good god! I went out this morning and spent the $75 on a monster DVI cable so I could do a test myself. And after switching back and forth from the DVI to the Component,, I like the component better. No real difference in the picture quality as far as sharpness goes, but the colors are a...

    DVI or COMPONENT cables, Is there really THAT big of a difference?

    Actually just found one hell of an article and thread that had my head spinning! :) What I've come to realize is that a DVI cable wouldn't be bad to own regardless of my situation. Might come in handy in the future:) http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/34579/122868.html

    DVI or COMPONENT cables, Is there really THAT big of a difference?

    Ouch! What a ripoff from Best buy and Circuit City! If I do I'll go online and pick them up. It would seem to be the obvious that the DVI would have the better and more clear picture. But I've heard so many people say that thre is no real difference. I've also heard from a few other...

    DVI or COMPONENT cables, Is there really THAT big of a difference?

    Unfortunately I have DVI on my Sony which to my knowledge does not include sound. I think the 811 and the 211 are also DVI compatible, but not hdmi.

    DVI or COMPONENT cables, Is there really THAT big of a difference?

    What is the real difference? Opinions please? I have an 811 (hopefully a 211 on tuesday) and think I get a really great picture with the component cables I have. But would gladly upgrade to DVI if the picture quality was noticeable. But the DVI cables I see are between $75-100 a pop so so an...

    Definitive answer please, Is the dish 1000 better wether you need one or not?

    So EVEN if I don't need one because my dish 500 is pointed at 61.5, what are the pros of getting a dish 100o installed anyway? are there any?

    Upgrade Awarness HD channels in RED!

    SO, when the installation guy comes to my door, can I tell him "look, can we just hook the 211 up , see if it works without you getting on my roof and punching another set of holes in it" and just call it a day? I have the 61.5 satellite and it's driving me CRAZY that everyone here says I don't...

    Is anyone Currently Viewing DishHD w/ a 211 and NO 129?

    Civic, Yeah Killswitch is one of my favorites:) not quite sure what DMA is, but I subscribe to the '180 pack' I live here in the Washington DC area and I think the CSR was saying that in the future, whenever they decide to launch local hd's that I would need the 1000.

    Is anyone Currently Viewing DishHD w/ a 211 and NO 129?

    I would like an answer to this question too. I was led to believe that as long as I have a dish pointed at 61.5 that I would not need the 1000. I currently receive the hd and voom package. So the first csr told me I wouldn't need the 1000, the two I spoke to after that told me that I did...

    3rd round 3rd round, but I decided to try again. FINALLY all seems right with the world (for now) I got through to a decent rep, who still told nme I needed the dish 1000. I was told that it would in fact replace one or both of the existing dishes I have so It won't look like NASA central...
