Dish would be happy to reduce our bills, if they were able to reduce their outlays by an even greater amount. If they didn't have to pay the big bucks to ESPN for me, they would be willing to pass along some of the savings.

Sounds like the free market to me. :D

Which is why we need ala freaking cart! I don't want ESPN 1 - ? and I sure as anything don't want to pay for it.

I was seeing this the other day. It looks like the picture is 'torn' right around the middle of the screen (horizontal line).

I'm not an expert at reading Patents but this link: United States Patent: 7542717 says it was 'Filed: March 24, 2005'

I just re-signed up after being gone a little under a year. I was eligible for all the promotions, the only catch as a returning customer is I had to give a 2 year commitment (necessary for the deals anyway). There was no activation fee. I am getting a 722k and a 211. Signed up with Dish Store.

Was lied to repeatedly by DirectTV staff. Finally got the straight scoop after the install, cancelled right away. They still took a cancellation fee from me and I had to fight to get it back! DirectTV, never again!

Just voted with my pocketbook and switched to D*. No soup for you Charlie, ever! Edge

The only time I have seen HD on ABC Family was when they played Nanny McPhee. Quite the shame. Edge

Wrong Troll breath. If they settle, it could happen tomorrow. Bringing a channel that doesn't exist like Comedy Central HD is a lot harder. Edge

I would have to say that their boss Charlie is a crooked business man, to say the least. One does not get sued as much as E* (and I might add, lose those suits) without doing dishonest things. The VOOM take down is just the latest (that we know of) in a long line of shady deals from Ergen. Edge

Funny thing, I was at my sister-in-law's house this weekend, they have Dish HD and are unhappy about the change as well. They are not the kind to ever come to a board like this (or any other for that matter), but they miss the channels Charlie the crook stole from them and are silently fuming...

That will be E*'s new slogan: "The Leader in Uplinked but not Available HD!" Edge

All you had to do is go to the about us page to see they are a so cal reseller: http://www.dish-network.com/about/about_dish_network_dealers.php

Try this: FCC Fact Sheet on Placement of Antennas This covers the only type of restrictions they can make: Q: Are all restrictions prohibited? A: No. Clearly-defined, legitimate safety restrictions are permitted even if they impair installation, maintenance or use provided they are necessary...

Ditto for me as well. Edge

Found it, not quite but... The conversion started several years ago. Scripps already has hundreds of hours of HD content in the vault, having shot most of its major shows in the format over the past few years. http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=53276&highlight=food+network Edge

Because 30 Minute Meals, $40 a Day and Tasty Travels aren't enough for her? (Did I miss any RR show(s)?) Didn't a Scripps person say they had been filming *all* of their new shows in HD for years? Or, did I just imagine that? Edge

Walt, I've seen you piss your pants and rant and rave in more threads here than I care to remember. Criticism coming from you is a bad case of pot, kettle, black. If you are going to try to dig on someone, you should at least learn how to spell rebuttal. Edge

Sparky, you are the fool who cannot even read the arguments on the other side. Read what ChetK wrote, and it should become clear that HD subscribers are paying for both subsription and bandwidth. Now for NatGeo you are paying for the bandwidth and getting nothing in return! Edge

Are you getting TNT-HD? If so, that even further strengthens your point. The HD fee, pays for both the bandwidth and the subscription cost of the other channels, and everyone knows that ESPN has the highest subscription cost of all. Edge

Devil's idiot more like it. Edge

Not to mention $20.00 a month, which is a blank of a lot more than enough to cover the subscription cost of NatGeo! Edge
