Fair enough, and I appreciate the focus on non-obtrusive ads. I have white-listed your site.

Yes, all you do is call them up and bitch about the exact fact that you mentioned. Ask them if there are any specials on HBO (hint, there are ALWAYS specials on HBO, usually $6 or $7 bucks off a month).

Picture quality is much better? That I am surprised to hear as I had always heard the opposite. Are we talking hi-def channels here? How much are you having to pay for all of the cable cards? Did you factor in what you are having to pay Tivo for your cost savings?

The thing is, there is really no good reason for it to be that bad. I mean it is over the internet and has nothing to do with Satellite or Dish / DirecTVs network really. It probably comes down to the middlemen not allocating enough bandwidth (similar to problems people experienced with YouTube...

Their VOD practically NEVER works is my #1 beef (that and their equipment is pretty sad compared to Dish which definitely pushes the envelope in tech). The aggravation over this was compounded by the fact that my satellite dish is apparently slightly out of alignment so several of my shows did...

Wow. Thought I would check out the Dish side of the house since I am currently not thrilled with DirecTV, but damn, I think I will stay were I am after reading this thread.

Not T Mobile. They do just as much for their current customers as they do for new customers.

Can anyone on here try to download The Last Ship episode 5 of Season 3, or any of Season 2 of Outlander? I keep getting error messages when trying to "Watch Now" or Download for later. In fact I just got done yanking out all of the hardwired DECA connections thinking it had gone bad and set up...

Does a power failure require you to have to re-enter your data as well? I just got done yanking all of the DECA connections and connecting via wireless. I had no idea there was actually a WIFI modem in the HR44 and ordered the Wireless Cinema kit. Guess I can send that back now (thanks...

I should mention that I do have two other mini clients on the DECA network (but I think they would still work if I connected the HR44 directly to the internet right?

Guys, I am currently connected to the Internet through the DECA boxes. I have an HR44 receiver and it takes forever to download a show via the on demand feature. I believe there are two other methods to connect the receiver as well i.e. direct Ethernet connection, and a Wireless Cinema Kit. I...

Thanks guys for all of the useful feedback. I have a feeling I may be switching from DirecTV to Dish soon.

Bobby, one last question. Was the Guide dumbed down? I thought Dish actually showed more hours on the guide on a single screen than DirecTV did, but it looks like they may be the same now from a video I just watched from CES (or maybe there is a way to change it). It would be nice to see more...

This box really looks amazing and I am tired of DirecTV moving so slowly with technology. How is the picture quality though on Dish compared to DirecTV? Unfortunately Google searches seem to suggest DirecTV is better but the most recent info I was able to find was an AVSForum post from 1st...

Does anyone know if we have to reprogram our DVRs for season passes (or whatever they are called) on affected channels i.e. I have Spartacus being recorded each week on Starz and The Pacific on HBO and don't want to miss any episodes.

Unfortunately, it isn't something as easy as that. I think the DVR stutters/pauses/temporarily locks up, and when it wakes back up 1 to 2 seconds later it still thinks the button is down and moves the program to the end. I guess the remote could be bad, but given I have seen other people on here...

This continues to be a major thorn in my side for over a year now. Has anyone ever found a solution to this. At least once a night, when I try to use the 30 second slip on my HR-21, the DVR decides to slip all the way to the end of the program instead of just 30 seconds. It seems to do this no...

I have three radio's total. My wife, myself, and my father in law's. I will be cancelling mine and my wife's in March and will cancel my father in laws in 9 months (we paid for one year as a gift for him - so really can't cancel sooner). Please explain Sirius how raising these rates is going to...

It actually isn't that bad. I had put off moving to it because I hated the ads that were plastered everywhere (as opposed to just across the top), but currently there are no ads at all and the skins are pretty cool. I am sure the ads will be back soon though.

Just got installed last night. Install went smooth. I got a great deal which will have me paying less for the first year, and about the same for the second year for more content. The HR21-700 DVR is nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be in the Dish forum. It is very close to the TIVO...

Ditto, took all day to get, but burning DVD now. Luckily I will only have to do this once as I have defected to DirecTV and my install is next Wednesday. Take that Charlie.

Can someone else please confirm this? If this is true, then I have no reason to run a third cable during my upcoming install. The only reason I would care about recording OTA (with the upcoming external box) is if it would increase my simultaneous recordings from 2 to 3. I am assuming the reason...

Ok, Scott got me twice in one day. No other site did. I should have known better. Good job.

WHAT! What did I do? That is hilarious. Someone's going to get an ass kicken!

Off topic, but one thing I have always wondered: how come there are always significantly more Dish posters in the Dish forums than DirecTV posters in the DirecTV forums. DirecTV has more subscribers, so I am surprised by this. Either Dish subscribers are more technically inclined and keep...
