    DIRECTV Announces New HD!

    I'm VERY excited that WGN-TV will finally be in HD. I switched over from Dish to Direct last summer and the only thing that disapointed me was that WGN was in HD at Dish but not Direct. Now...I can watch EVERY Cub game in wonderful HD! Life is Good! Thanks Scott for announcing this on...

    HD DVR differences: H20, H21, H22, H23,...?

    Longtime Dish Network customer who is leaving the Cheap Charlie Empire in early April because DN "won't" or "can't" or just refuses to ante up for the MLB Network. I currently have a VIP622 with two-room hook-up and love the equipment. But no MLBN...no more Dish Network for this long-term...

    MLB TV

    I agree completely and am ready to switch from DN to Direct if Cheap Charlie does not reach a deal to show the MLB Network by Opening Day (April 6 for my local teams). I will be scheduling an appointment THAT DAY with DirectTV if Dish Network does not add the MLBN. It should ABSOLUTELY be...

    MLB TV

    I'm leaving Dish after 10 years if they don't get the MLB Network by Opening Day. DirectTV will inherit another customer. And I'm a Dish "premium" customer paying over $100 a month.

    Once again, Charlie has been marginalized by Fox and DirectTV.

    MLB Network

    First, I've been a continuous Dish Network subscriber since June, 1999. I am one of their "high end" subscribers who feed Charlie over $100 per month for TV service (all-HD, all movie channels). I also love Baseball. MLB Baseball. Here in west-central Illinois, I can watch the RSN's or...

    Poll: What Other New HD Do You Want to See?

    RFD-HD was misidentified in the poll as "Rural Featured Development" TV or something just as decieving and stupidly identified. I have NEVER EVER heard RFD-TV or RFD-HD beging called ANYTHING other than "RFD-TV". VERY MISLEADING in your poll!

    ice on dish, no signal

    Wow. Ironically, I am only able to get a weak signal on the 61.5 transponders since the Ice Storm came through west central Illinois FridayAM. The 110 and higher transponder signals are gone completely and only getting about a 48-50 signal on 61.5. At least I can watch a few Dish channels...

    Any chance of MLB Network on Dish Network?

    The brand-new MLB Network will be debuting in January, 2009 and I am excited about the prospect of watching this channel when it becomes available early next year. This may likely become my favorite television channel in the future, since I am a huge MLB baseball fan. I have not heard...

    where is wgn hd?

    WGN-HD must be coming soon because I have noticed it mapped on my 622 when I was recording a WGN program. It shows up on the guide when you want to record a specific program, but won't let you schedule it on HD yet, only on the regular SD Ch. 239. Also, not sure if it is even announced...

    DISH Cries Foul Over DIRECTV/MLB Deal

    petition online? Anyone know how I (and maybe the rest of us who care) can sign this petition? For the record, I will be one of the current 50,000 Dish Network subscribers to EI who will not switch to DirectTV. Nor will I subscribe to EI via broadband connection. If Dish is unable to...

    I Oppose the XM-Sirius proposed merger

    I oppose the XM & Sirius radio proposed merger. I've been an XM subscriber since June 2004, with a total of two XM radios (a Delphi MyFi unit I use at home and on my boat, and a radio that was factory-installed in my GM vehicle. I also have had the opportunity to listen to Sirius music...

    Comcast Sports Net HD in Chicago

    I live 220 miles SW of the Windy City. Will my Randy Winegard OTA antenna get me HD or am I being too windy? I guess I better pray that Charlie Cheesie Ergen and his minions will grant us Comcast Sports HD in 2007, so that I can watch 2007 NL Cy Young pitcher Carlos Zambrano and 2007 NL MVP...

    Adult Channel Question

    I just got ITVN a couple weeks ago...WOW! About 100 differnet porn channels...all genre's...and it costs about $30 a month for all of them (via broadband hookup, which was easy for me to install). I recommend it if you like a good variety of porn.

    Yesterday I swapped out my 921 for a VIP622. Everything seemed to work, including the fact that I still have my Distants, both east and west. However, I am not getting the Free Local Channels Preview that were being offered to me when I was using the 921. I called Dish Network customer...
