Have just had my fourth call from Dish in three days. After I left them 14 months ago I asked for my name to be removed from any/all call-lists ... I assumed that this had been done as I did not hear from them again .. until Tuesday night. Tues I got a call from an account supervisor from Dish...

Just noticed on my latest bill that my promo for showtime has ended so they are charging me $12 for it. I don't watch it much so wanted to drop it. Went to the website, clicked my programming and got the message : "We're sorry, but because of your base package you cannot change your...

Seeing problems on local channels. Am getting real bad breakup on all of my local stations right now. Over the Air is just fine and national stations are working just fine too. Just me ? Do I need to call them or is it a blip that'll probably fix itself?

About time i dipped my little toe back into HD movies again. Am looking for something that is low-end, no-frills, turn on and hit play Blu-Ray player. Load time not important, fancy features not important .. I'll just use it to watch a movie and then turn it back off again ... Am finding...

Back to what it does best. Its been on a long slippery slope down for the past couple of years with the occasional episode of genius thrown in there - but tonight's episode was back to the formula that makes them the best at what they do. Topical, politically incorrect, sharp humor. Let's hope...

Anyone else getting real bad reception on channel six right now ... constant break-ups and blips. ? Am hoping that it is not my setup ...

ABC - Life on Mars: Thursday, Oct. 9, 10 p.m. ET (series premiere) This is going to be HUGE. Saw the UK version of this show a couple of years ago and it was excellent. Just watched a pre-air of episode one of the US version of this show and .. it is pretty much using the same script ...

flicked on my HR-21 earlier today so that i could watch some content from my network/hard drive .. and i can no longer find the link to "media share" in my menu ... I know it was there yesterday .. nothing at all has changed in my setup - i can download on-demand stuff .. my receiver is...

I have an abandoned cable from a satellite install in my spare room ... following the cable back outside around the other side of the house .. i noticed that on its journey it passed by my two-way OTA splitter (which feeds my main bedroom and my main TV setup in the DEN.) In a flash of...

I say unusual .. because it was actually much better than expected. Having decided a few months ago that i would grow a beard in my effort to fully immerse myself in my new-found fully-fledged long-awaited legal American citizen status ... I figured that i should probably buy myself some kind...

Been watching the Tour De France on Vs/Golf HD .. this past couple of days in the Alps, there has been some spectacular scenery .. shame its not in HD .. but at least the picture is nice and clear on the VS HD channel ... If they ever start carrying HD cameras up those mountains .. it'll be...

Heads up ... for all boxing fans ... Was looking all over for this fight - i figured it would be pay-per-view or on one of the premium movie channels .. but it would appear that its showing on V's in HD .. Great news for me as it'll save me a few $$'s .... Should be a decent fight.

Been trying to record "diners, drive-ins and dives" on food network ... last two times i have tried this the recording has failed - the show appears in the list as though it has recorded as normal - but when i try and play it - i get a blank gray screen for a couple of seconds - the timer at the...

Am just getting around to hooking up a spare pc to my HR21 so that i can use ORB to stream the output to a PC in my bedroom (similar to slingbox) Am i right in thinking that all of the outputs on the receiver are active and live at the same time ? I currently use component to my main TV...

... had some real bad storms last night .. all night - around 3 inches of rain over a period of around 12 hours of straight thunderstorms with lots of lightening and several bouts of reasonably sized hail .... along with 50-70 mph winds ... I did not lose my signal at all ... not even once...

Ok, I'm bored .... actually - to be more precise - I'm bored of eating the same rotation of 9 or 10 meals that are currently my "go-to" meals. My wife works the long hours - I work from home as and when i feel like it ... which means i generally do most of the cooking ... and so by default - i...

wow - had service with sirius last year - went for the three month subscription to "try it out" ... found that i did not listen to it all that much - so decided to save the radio and activate it each summer for a few weeks when we do our long "road trips" Just got a new "promo" email from them...

Well - the time has come for me to jump back to the dark side. :) I just gave Direct a call ... Got the AAA discount (10*24)- $18 off for year one regular promo - 1 year free Showtime - 3 months free starz, and $50 referral discount. They are due out here on Thursday .... Gain some...

ok - i know its old - and I'm sure I've heard it before myself .. but it made me laugh again when i got this in my mailbox earlier - so I had to share ... "I ended up with an older woman at a club last night. She looked OK for a 57 -year-old. In fact, she wasn't too bad at all, and I found...

Interesting read .. but if price was the only factor ... HD-DVD would still be around. "No sooner has the battle for the next-generation high definition DVD format ended, with Blu-ray triumphing over HD DVD, than a new contender has emerged... "...

Say it isn't so .... one of the few network shows i really enjoy. A bit of eye candy and it never takes itself too seriously ... Still I guess a casino that gets robbed once a week couldn't stay in business too long ... I actually thought that Tom Selleck did a great job - came in and...

Hi all, have had a 622 and a 211 for quite some time now. The 622 was running my main TV in the den - and also the tv in the "spare" room which was virtually never used. The 211 was running the tv in our master bedroom. (it was not watched much at all either) I recently decided to...

Well - i could not resist any longer. I checked Best-buy tonight and noticed they had the A3 player for $149 (I have seen it $20 cheaper online .. but wanted to walk out of the store with it) Along with the two free movies inside the box .. i could pick another two free movies from any on the...

Getting a new TV delivered this afternoon and we have decided to switch around the Den a little at the same time. Only problem i can foresee is that the Satellite cable currently enters the home right behind the current tv .. and runs maybe 3-4 ft to the receiver. The new location would mean...

Am looking for a new TV for the den. I would like either a plasma or an LCD (it'll probably be wall-mounted after we have decorated)... but i have a limited budget. Was looking at the sale ads on Sunday and noticed that Best Buy had the Westinghouse TX-47F430S on sale for $1500. We have...
