    Dish to begin DRM on PPV May 6th

    I usually took in 2 to 3 PPV films a month. Mostly movies I sort of wanted to see but never got to the theater. Say bye bye to that revenue Dish, hello Blockbuster. Same reason that I never did the Dish online thing after a few downloads. Same policy. Of course there are all the other issues...

    I posted some initial findings early in this thread and have continued to try out the service in order to just be able to say I gave it a chance. I just used it for the last time until I hear something positive on this forum or from Dish themselves. The last straw... I downloaded 2 more films...

    I have not watched them all the way through yet but the picture looks good from a quick test run I did for about 5 minuets and of course as mentioned by Scott and some others earlier in this thread, it's standard def. I know the sound on the movie I test ran was not 5.1, just plain PCM (2...

    Just to chime in about movie download speed. With ATT (Bellsouth) DSL Xtreme 6.0. I downloaded 2 films and it took about 3 hours per movie. give or take a few minuets. It seems that the source is slow and intermittent. I would notice the download seemed to pause at times, I assume due to server...

    They drilled my romex!

    To be considered a proper fix, the romex should be cut at the damaged spot and if there is enough slack, join the wires together with wire nuts in a junction box that will remain accessible. If the wire is tight, cut the wire at the damage, mount two junction boxes and run one of the ends of the...
