Setanta!!! Oh, I'm a happy camper. They better turn them on before the start of the English Premier League season, though. I've been lurking on the forums for a while but wow, what an awesome news to post on. Setanta is coming!!! I'm glad that more HD RSN's have been uplinked for folks...

I live in an ACC area (DC metro area), but I was able to watch the Duke vs. UNC game even with UVA playing another team. Strange how this blackout rule is blocking certain people.

Nice review. It looks like FIOS is a good solution for HD and SD fans alike as their picture quality as of now is great. Only if their receivers had the kind of technology that DISH has, you'd have great features to go with the great picture quality. My neighborhood is getting FIOS...

Man, I was used to the $1 or $2 increase per year for AT150/AT180 back 3 years ago but this $3/yr. increase (2006 and 2007) is getting ridiculous! I mean, if you want to differentiate yourself from cable companies, increase the fee by a buck or two, but not 3! Charge extra for the HD RSN's...

If you've been paying a monthly DVR fee for your 508, you might want to get on the horn and tell them to take the DVR fee off for the 508! DISH does not impose a DVR fee for the 501 and 508 DVR's so deactivating your 508 will just get rid of your additional receiver fee. But yeah, no use...

Thanks, guys. I guess there's no shortcut to this one like with the DP21 and DP34 switch combo. Thank you for the quick responses. Much appreciated.

Guys (and gals), I haven't tried this before but is it possible to add a wing dish to a Dish 1000 by using a DP21 switch with the DP Plus Twin LNBF to get the following 4 satellites? Namely, the 110, 119 and 129 from the Dish1000 and 61.5 from a wing dish. Thanks a bunch!

Very good point. When my local digital station is broadcasting a program that I want to record and it happens to be SD, I always record the SD mapped local in the 8000's range so as to not waste HD capacity on a SD program. DVR users should be given the opportunity to do the same if they want...

Yep, Mega Cosmos is now available on DirecTV. I tell ya, first it was centroamerica TV and now Mega Cosmos. Well, technically SBS from last year but these two are pretty dynamite channels in their respective languages. If Scott is true in other channels migrating to DirecTV, DISH Network...

TV Azteca is a huge channel to the Latino Americans. This move will create some churn for sure.

Or you could wait for the mysterious DPP33 switch to come out. I hope it comes out by end of the year but I'm not holding my breath for it.

There's a potential problem if the charges you dispute is in fact valid. We had a similar situation with our AMEX and they stated that if AMEX finds or rules that the disputed charge is in fact valid, the card holder will be liable for the finance charges and/or late payment fee (if you didn't...

Wasn't centroamericatv operated or partly owned by DISH? If not, why was it taken down? I wonder... This is big news, though.

Scott, like what?

On some people's plan and promotion, locals are built into the price, which should make Dish HD Platinum w/Locals = $104.99. Not sure why it's $109.99. Also, don't forget that you get 3 months of HBO, Showtime, Starz, or Cinemax for free. And if you want the $49.99 upfront cost waived, give...

:D You crack me up, P, with your grammar sometimes. It seems as though the latest uplink activity favors Thursday as the day to have the uplinked channels made available and such. I'd love to see NHL HD and the RSN HD's but I have a feeling the DNS situation is diverting a lot of resources...

Yeah, I haven't heard of such a move. Only if Charlie's daughter still goes to UVA and complains about her signal, maybe then they might do something. :p I doubt there'd be any relocations anytime soon. You're the first to mention such a move, so if it turns out true soon, great! The...

Oh, that's where the hold-up is. Thanks for the heads-up.

I think Harrisonburg, VA locals are going online today or tomorrow? That's according to one of my sources.

You can try Digital Entertainment Associates. They're in Duluth, GA. (678) 541-0228

I think people can help you better if we knew the programming that you're trying to get. But I can tell you that the signal out of 118.7 is pretty weak. The signal peaks out at around 80 or so while 121 peaks out near 95.

Scott, what's Euronews? What int'l. language package do you think they'll stick this in if it's just Euronews?

Well, there's Vietnamese programming on DirecTV. They have 2 channels, in fact. Sine int'l programming are usually exclusive to a platform (as in if Dish has it, DirecTV can't and vice versa) so I'd look into D* if you really want Vietnamese programming without going FTA.

Hm, any schedules with them in HD??? If my Capitals do well, I just MIGHT get CI. :D

You just need to have higher than America's Top 60 package on the account to get the PI pack automatically. If you have Dish Family, you have to ask a CSR to add the PI pack. If you don't even have any qualifying package (Dish Family and higher, Dish Latino, or Great Wall), then you may have...
