I hope you're right, Scott! I was devastated this weekend when I saw the crawl during the Wales-France match about Setanta being dropped from Dish's lineup. "No more rugby??" But if you are right about Fox carrying Premiership, Magners & Heineken that's great! What about Super 14 ,The Air New...

All you have to do is ask yourself, "Am I better off with HD now than I was 4 years ago?" 4 years ago I had VOOM and 40 quality channels. Now I have 73 diluted, poor HD quality, junky channels. And my price has doubled! DUH!!!!!

Whatever happened to the "100 channels by years end?" DirecTV has 6 Showtime HD movie channels alone? Why can't Dish put on more than 1 Showtime HD channel? It's not worth the $14.98. You get a better bargain by taking HBO HD with 6 channels of HD. Then there's FX HD and a score of other HD...

SHOWTIME has at least 4 HD channels. And TMC has several more. That's about 7 more HD movies we could get. Even if they gave us Showtime West as well as Showtime East. What's the deal? And don't dare tamper with the finest quality HD channels since the beginning --HDNET and HDNM. Mark Cuban...

Scott, is Sat Guys paying a royalty for the use of the "Snoopy" figure? Just wondering if that is a ripoff or is it legal?

Scott may sound like "Bagdad Bob" during the last days of Sadaam but I have some questions. Where are the 100 channels? At the airport??? Tell me when they get here and give an accounting of the channels you are counting. Don't include PPV, part-time HD and Sports Alternates. In other...

DISH SUBSCRIBERS FALL IN "DUH" FACTOR Just saw the article below in the New York Times and on Bloomberg. Dish has lost 25,000 subscribers since it canceled VOOM. Charley is scratching his head and wondering why. The "DUH" factor here Charley is that when you acquired 44, 000 new subscribers...

VOOM is gone from DISh and so am I. With VOOM Dish had something no one else had. 15 non-commercial HD channels along with all the others; something DirectV would never have. With VOOM gone they became just another Sat service with the same channels as Direct. So, I switched to Direct. For the...

Anyone who is bored by repeats obviously doesn't have tivo or a dvr. It can be programmed to record the program only one time. Somebody tell them that they don't have to watch them. Just search for what you want to see. Do these same people also watch commercials because they haven't moved into...

DirecTv is still cheaper than DISH. I just compared them and for the same programs including Setanta DirecTV is $105 and DISH is $142.

Agreed, Dish lost to DirecTV on many different levels, recently, and Charlie has finally admitted to that. It's up to him to correct that now.---JEFFRO34TX Charlie can put paste back in the tube easier than fixing DISH. I found myself defending DISH for the past 4 years only to wake up and...

I'm also for bringing back the Fish Tank. Cool jazz with pleasantly swiming fish was the perect ending to a busy day.

I called DirecTV this morning since Dish dropped VOOM the only channels that set them apart from other sat-cable carriers. I must have gotten a special desk for unhappy Dish subscribers because apparently a lot of people are calling from Dish to price DirecTV. In my own case I have the Platnium...

Monsters and Kung-Fu. Kung-Fu was the only channel showing Akira Kurosawa classic films in HD. Glad I recorded them on my external hard drive. I also liked FILMFESt which showed international film from film festivals. I would venture that due to the fact that everyone's tastes are not the same...

The fools! The only thing separating Dish from DirecTV was VOOM. They had 15 exclusive channels and I especially liked the movie channels.And no matter how many channels DTV added Dish would always have that many more. Now, without VOOM they are just DirecTV2 and right now DTV has more channels...

I was looking for some pre-season baseball in HD. Can't find it. When does it start? OOOPS! Just found it. ESPN - Dodgers/Red Sox (as Emily Latella says, "NEVERMIND!")

The producers of Dr. Who readily admit that it is low budget. Why do you think so many monster/villains appear so often? Makeup and special effects budgets are non-existent. When they create a monster he stays around for a while. So far we haven't had the usual SciFi plots we have all seen, i.e...

I'm getting tired of this. It's like Lucy telling Charlie Brown she will let him kick the football and then whoooosh....skunked again by Dish. Gonna check on DirecTV & Verizon Fiber Optics today.

I take it back. After previously saying that the SciFi channel doesn't have much to offer I saw "DR. WHO." I'm hooked. Would love to see this series in HD. When is DISH catching up with the rest of the world???

The movies via Netflix are DVD quality and are in Dolby but not 5.1. They are widescreen and original format however. My TV bumps them up to 1080p and they look pretty good. No loss of information so far.

Currently I watch Netflix downloads on my HD set via my computer using S-plug & stereo. Looks great. Any chance that DISH will allow it's internet connection to be used for downloading NETFLIX directly to my set? I read that set-top boxes are coming soon for this purpose. That's why I'm not...

Would love to get SciFi HD now. I'm hooked on Torchwood. However, HDNET carries it in HD.

Not much "travel" on the Travel Channel anymore. I used to watch it all the time. Now it's personalities and game-like shows. I still prefer EQUATOR & DISCOVERY HD.

That's why I left DirecTv. They always said new channels were "coming" but would never give a date. And they never did.
