    Satellite AV Contest - GEOSATpro microHD - Enter to Win - Drawing on 6/11/2012

    "Frog Bopping." Yes, we little monsters were surrounded by little frogs at the summer cottage. We captured them and then stomped them just because we could.

    Effective June 3, 2010, DISH Network will change pricing on select services.

    I agree that a coupla' bucks isn't a bad hit for the new HD channels.

    TCM HD looks fuzzier than its SD counterpart

    I'm watching 2001 and it looks pretty soft.

    KQED San Francisco

    I've tried the best OTH antennas. The position of my roof in relation to the surrounding roofs makes OTH reception impossible.

    KQED San Francisco

    I know that some areas of the US still don't receive local channels in HD. That sucks. However, big markets like San Francisco still get PBS in only SD. Any thoughts on the future? KQED in HD would be so cool.

    Missing Indie and Retro HD

    No, Bobby, I'm still confused. Having run through the previous post "What's with HD channels letterboxing in 4:3" I now know that the phenomenon I described is really "pillarboxing." Despite all the abstract explanations I still don't understand why a theatrically released wide screen movie...

    Missing Indie and Retro HD

    Thank you "old corps" and "Volmaul." Guess I missed these channels in the All HD guide list.

    Missing Indie and Retro HD

    I have America's Top 250 with HD & Platinum. I have found five of the new HD channels (don't have Showtime) but can't find the new Retro and Indie channels. Can anyone help? Thanks.:o

    VIP 722 Favorites List Options

    I searched for this topic and couldn't find anything. Sorry if this is a duplicate. About a week ago I noticed a change in my VIP 722 Guide. Now, instead of just flipping through the various favorites lists with the button, I see a "Favorites List Options" page requiring me to pick one. I...

    New HD DVD Release

    I've tried third generation Panasonic and Sony Blu Ray players and my A3 upconverts DVDs better than either of them.

    DISH NETWORK® LIGHTS UP MORE NATIONAL HD CHANNELS

    Wow. I just discovered that Charlie added KRON HD to our Bay Area locals yesterday. This station is in bankruptcy. Outside of a pretty good news department they show cheapo syndicated programs like "Entertainment Tonight" and "Dr Phil."

    DISH NETWORK® LIGHTS UP MORE NATIONAL HD CHANNELS

    I'm totally underwhelmed by these additions. BET Jazz is crummy old SD videos and the other three channels are just tiny expansions of premium channels to which I do not subscribe.

    A Dish oversight, intended confusion or deception - you decide.

    Dish is now incomprehensibly complicated.

    DISH is having a banner week.

    I think Dish is purposely confusing it's customers with all this ridiculous programming complexity. I'm fed up with this crazy sh*t.

    KQED HD San Francisco

    I can't receive the ota San Francisco HD PBS channel, or any other ota channel due to the surrounding topography. What is the possibility that Dish will add this? Thank you.:hungry:

    What's your SD Viewing Preference?

    Reddice, your comment is pathetically misinformed. I have a fantastic Panasonic plasma and am by no means uneducated. I watch virtually no SD.

    Blu Ray SD Upconversion on EDTV

    Thank you Ilya. I agree with everything you've said. It is not my intention to have the last word here, but I maintain my original assertion that the SD DVD 480p/auto resolution setting of the A-3 produces a picture quality superior to the same setting of either the BDP-S350 or the DMP -BD35.

    Firmware ver. 4.0 for HD DVD players is now available

    I received a v.4 upgrade for my HD-A3 in the mail. Not sure what it did, but I am amazed at Toshiba's exemplary support for products from which they'll never see another dime. Wow.

    Blu Ray SD Upconversion on EDTV

    Here's what I did, Ilya. Using the Toshiba HD-A3 I played both HD DVD and SD DVD sides of the combo "Michael Clayton." I'm not a scientist or engineer, but I discerned subtle differences in picture quality. Although both were good, the HD version displayed punchier colors and was more...

    Blu Ray SD Upconversion on EDTV

    I own a nice Panasonic TH-37PD25 EDTV. It fits perfectly in my viewing area and has provided an excellent HD picture with Dish Network and my obsolete Toshiba HD-A3. As a relatively early ('05) higher def tv it doesn't offer variable input picture adjustments. My Harman Kardon AVR 345 is...
