    I hate to be a prick but....

    i guess i'll throw in my two cents worth... i'm not one to talk concerning typos(i'm the worst when it comes to capitalization when i post on the internet).... but using NUMBERS for words...or replacing "u" for "you" just really puts a burr under my saddle-i don't talk about it because...

    Dallas Area - No 6412 available?

    who knows-it may be a combonation of things, not the least of which is the transfer of comcast back over to time warner and comcast's unwillingness to bring in new inventory until after the switch....

    I am staying with Dish Network

    well, i LEFT sbcdsl for verizon dsl when i moved mainly because the sbc geniuses wanted upwards to $400 to allow me to continue my service at the new house and verizon set me up for pennies on the dollar($19.95 if memory serves me right)...this one was a no brainer...as for sat, I'm STILL with...

    Breaking News: Michael Schwimmer Leaves Echostar

    i have a feeling this is viewed as a horizontal move for him(i suspect that ANY CEO of podunk probably still makes more money than a VP at echostar and this allows one of charlie's boys to run the joint...)

    EchoStar Names New President, Vice Chairman

    to be honest, carl vogal is the "adam baldwin/ted mcginley" of the communications industry-when he shows up, whatever he is involved with is either about to get sold or closed down-now, i don't expect to see the doors to E* closed anytime soon, but a buyout of some kind wouldn't surprise me at...

    Post your VOOM Activation Stories here

    word of advice-DON'T be bullied by E* CSRs over the second dish-IF there is NON-VOOM programming that is available to you on your subscription(locals, CBSHD)that you can ONLY get thru the installation of the second dish, E* is required BY LAW to provide this second dish to you AT NO CHARGE!!!It...

    Was going to order comcast for hd untill this....

    your lucky-in grand prairie, they won't let you have the DVR UNLESS you're willing to order their $60.00 package minimum AND you do have to get basic along with it,,,in addition, even tho you are paying full price for their HD pack, if you only get basic cable and no SD premies, then all they...

    Dish Expands High Definition Package

    not a dumb question at all-the answer is easy tho-if you can't get your locals on a dish 500, then it's likely they are on 61.5, obviously... seeing you are in the dallas area, all your locals save one niche UHF channel(i forget which one)are on 110....

    Interesting Comcast news

    well, comcast came and went-the installer(a pleasent fellow, thank god)determined that i had to have a line buried across the empty lot(which I own) rather than bring it across the roof of my guest house, so sometime next week(AFTER the super bowl), they will be back to install it...

    Comcast's new DVR services beat satellite

    i tried to get the comcast DVR, but even tho their website says that you only have to get "digital service" to get their DVR(which their HD service is), the truth is you have to get a $60 package to get it- Sean Mota says: "Dual-tuner satellite receivers require a second line from the dish...
