If you haven't seen it, it is still a new movie for you. Regarding my title, I do try to practice what I preach. As someone who - a few years back - produced lists of movies to be stranded with, I was surprised at how many on this list I had not seen. Then I looked at the list again. Perhaps...

Recently, when facing a 20 -30 minute wait for a nearby appointment, I decided to see what electronics Wal-Mart is carrying nowadays. (It might be an old point of view, but I'd rather spend my money elsewhere, supporting local businesses whenever possible, than make the richest family in...

Our DISH 222 recently started changing channels at random times. All of these times seem to happen after dark. Our association also recently started providing motion sensitive security lights to some members; including one home where the light is about twenty yards of open space from the room...

How does the signal reach the receiver this way? Qwest, too, offers a bundle package with Direct TV. Would the AT&T package work in a similar manner? For either Qwest or AT&T: 1) Does the signal come into your house and the satellite receiver via the traditional mini-dish, or mini-dishes...

Great post jeffmwknight! I agree about the ability of film to spread learning and cultural awareness. The Kung Fu channel did that very much for me; with the World Cinema channel to to a slightly lesser extent. One of the special things about satellite TV was supposed to be its' ability to...

:cool: OK. No whining. Just some specific examples of VOOM programming I'll miss now that they aren't available to me anymore. Seeing "The Forbidden Kingdom" in the theaters this weekend reminded me of just how much I enjoyed VOOM's 24/7 HD commercial free widescreen offerings. This list is...

Jeffro 34 tx: Your reponse in no way addresses using the channel view counter numbers as justification for removing the VOOM channels. If DISH had given us the ability to receive those channels on a consistent basis, the number of viewers recorded would have been notably higher. I have a...

Use of firmware counters to measure VOOM is very unfair. I feel so strongly about this I thought about starting a separate forum title. If some of you more veteran folks think that would be a better way to go, you have my permission to move or copy my post. Based on several posts in related...

For us, about the only thing keeping us from moving to the HD only package is TCM/Turner Classic Movies. HD Net Movies and occasional older movies on VOOM seem to be the only current way to see older movies in HD. When TCM starts showing their library in HD, that my be when we move to an HD...

Re - 8bitbites comment

VOOM was and is the main reason I stayed with DISH when the HD packages came out a couple of years ago. I have seen wonderful movies on the VOOM channels that I have yet to see anywhere else; particularly in HD and commercial free. The HD premiere of "The Dinner Game" on World Cinema and...

Re - lost programming from the now missing programs/channels Hello, Re - "This is the same company that had a bunch of its channels removed from Dish Network a few weeks ago", I am disappointed that I can no longer receive and watch the "Shop Erotic" programs that used to air from 2 AM to 4...

Thanks! BTW, how do I find a good installer? :) Thanks everyone for the good advice! I appreciate it and you have given me some good things to think about. What may be my biggest barrier is the physical layout of my place and roof. To make a long story shorter, an industrial sized ladder...

:o Hello, For a couple of different reasons, I think I (via a pro DIDH installer) will be moving my DISH 1000 from a spot midway up the middle of one of my roofs to a sidemount pole near the peak of the tallest roof. My primary question is how do installers seal or repair the spot on the...

Here is my two cents worth on both Pay Pal and the DISH cover issue: Re - PayPal, I've used them for eBay and other on-line purchases for about 3-4 years now with no problems or significant concerns. For me it has been a good and useful service that makes some transactions go much quicker...

129 problems continuous since upgrade My experience has been almost daily frustration over my DISH equipment's failure to provide strong enough signals for 3 of the newer HD channels: ESPN2, RAVE, and the kung fu/Asian movie channel. This is even more irritating during the World Cup and I am...

:confused: Is spending $250 to $350 or more on a DVI switcher (RAM Electronics and others) my only option for connecting 2 DVI outputs, HD satellite receiver and upconverting DVD player, to my single DVI input on my HD monitor? There seem to be DVI Y-connectors available from a few sources on...

DVI switcher vs. Y connector question New member Jim here. I have had good experiences with getting good advice and information from joining the SIRIUS backstage forum community and I look forward to a similar experience here. I find myself with the problem of one DVI input on my...
