    Dish Pricing

    I am looking into Dish Network possibly. My question is if I want Americas Top 250 the sports pass, and all the movie channels channel (forgive me, maybe this was Americas Everything but I don't see it advertised on their website) once all of these movie channels are no longer free for x months...

    Why does D* charge extra for HD equipment and programming?

    Wow. You are getting a deal. Here it is $13.95 for the DVR and if you have a second one it's the $13.95 DVR fee PLUS the $6.99 or whatever it is "digital box" rental fee.

    Yes it will show up on the TV screen, and it will show up on any receiver plugged in to a phone line and the caller ID feature enabled.

    NFL Sunday Ticket Free View Weekend?

    Are you sure about that? I don't think I have seen an NFL ST free weekend since I've had Directv. I know they usually do a Superfan free preview in week 1 but you had to sub to NFL Sunday Ticket obviously in order to see it.

    Extra Innings free preview?

    I dont know for sure, but it will probably be the Thursday-Sunday after the All-Star game or possibly the week after.

    Jewelry Channel to shut down

    My heartfelt and sincere condolences to the station owner and their viewers. I am sorry these 3 people have lost their favorite station.

    NFL Sunday Ticket

    I will probably order this year and will then decide what to do in the future. Last year seemed pretty odd, I barely watched any game from ST as nearly everything I cared about was on either my local channels or one of the basic pay channels. There were some weeks I would watch a ST game when...

    E* Takes HD Dump.. How does this effect D*.

    Why would Echostars addition of 22 HD channels affect Directv? Directv has 95 (I realize that includes sports package channels I think) HD channels and will gain many more in a few months probably. I think the people who switched to Directv aren't switching, Directv customers like what they have...

    Poll - Which direction did everyone go?

    I have another question to those of you who had Sky Angel. I never did. Does it aggravate you that the Sat TV programming disappeared? Did any of you pay that $500 lifetime sub?

    Fox News hd May 1st??

    When did this news war start? And an even greater question, WHY did it start?! I don't mean in this thread, I mean in the world in general. If you don't want to watch Fox News, then don't and shut up about what they report. Same for CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the all news and network news...

    What other HD channels would you like to see?

    WGN HD and Fox News HD are about the only two left I feel are really a big deal to add as far as HD goes.

    Fox News hd May 1st??

    But it says it will only initially be carried on Time Warner Cable. It doesn't say anything about it being on Directv.....and naturally, nothing about Dish either.

    Fox News hd May 1st??

    So...back on topic....is it 100% now that Fox News is going HD on May 1? I haven't seen them, Directv, or anyone else advertising it.

    FSN Florida 634-1

    I am glad to see I am not the only one who has had these problems. I had the same problem with the HD feed last week with the Braves/Marlins game. Last night, I ordered the WWE Backlash HD ppv, and I had to reset my box to be able to see it.

    Directv moving channels

    In the case of Spike TV, remember it used to be more country music oriented so it was up with the music channels like CMT, GAC, VH1, and MTV. Now that it is not, it is being moved more in line with what they currently air. What is wrong with PPV channels being in the 100's?

    When Did Sportscenter Jump The Shark?

    Kenny Mayne is the first one who made me roll my eyes and shut SC off. The stupid segments like fact or fiction, true or false, and that sort of thing sucked too. But the time I sat with my jaw open in astonishment was when I saw a press conference on Sportscenter...not a live one....A REENACTED...

    Local news in HD?

    Orlando has 2. NBC and ABC local news. The CBS affiliate did go to a 16:9 ratio widescreen for their newscast, but apparently it is not in HD yet.

    birmingham spotbeam coverage

    As I have said before also, I live in Jacksonville, Fl and can get Atlanta's locals here. Can't get them in HD, but can the regular. Not sure about Birmingham in relation to Jax.

    DirecTV price increase coming?

    I dont believe it is Directv's fault these channels don't produce much in HD. They are ahead of the curve in getting their HD channels up, so when they do have programming they don't have to go through the clearance issues. So what? If you don't want to watch what's on those channels then don't.

    kansas city spotbeam "moving" question

    I have just read the long and sometimes humorous previous thread on moving. And I would like to say some things, but I want to say up front, it is possible I could wrong. As I recall in 1998 or 1999, the problem with locals was people were receiving the ones NATIONALLY and that was causing...
