    OK, I'm impressed...

    Well, first satellite ever was 1997 DirecTV system that I bought and installed myself. Then in 2002 I switched to Dish, and honestly, never been impressed with their technology. Have had 301, 811, 211K, and now the hopper with one joey. It has been about 24 hours and I know big change from 301's...

    Is 3G from Verizon or Sprint worth it?

    OK, I live less than a mile away from AT&T's DSL coverage area, and have been on Hughesnet for the past three or four years and started noticing Verizon's commericals about 3G coverage. So I went and started doing some research. Verizon and Sprint both have my area within their coverage maps...

    Satellite alignment troubles

    OK, originally signed up for Directway in December of 2005... The installer installed dish on pole mount and to be honest things have never been good. Least little bit of wind and signal would drop. Almost any amount of rain and I would loose connection all together. First of all, I've called...

    What can I do about lower signal strength?

    My upgrade from 811 to 211 satellite receiver. OK, had two 301's and one 811 on DISH 500 with DP quad LNBF... Now, I have two 301's, brand new 211 and a 1000.2 with DP+ triple LNBF (110, 119, and 129). My signal strength on 110 and 119 went from good average of 95 up (some transponders might...

    Any VB.Net programmers around?

    Took an introduction to Visual Basic 2005 course for my Bachelor degree. And after the course was over tried to stay with it, however, the lack of knowing enough about programming and therefore the ability to program real well, caused me to give up on it for now. However, am very interested in...

    Stats Widget

    Ok, the stats widget (or whatever everyone wants to call it) that displays the total members, threads, and post, why is it a week or so ago I know it said total post was 1,2xx,xxx. Now today, it shows 1,092,257. Why the difference? Are post being deleted by that large of a number? I mean 100,000...

    Fraud Alert: 1-877-487-4751 Den Enterprises

    My mom recently looked at her bank statement online and found a charge of $9.55 from Den Enterprises and phone number 1-877-487-4751. The problem with this is, 1) she never bought anything for $9.55, 2) never heard of Den Enterprises, and 3) calling the number you only get a voice mailbox...

    So, LCD, DLP, CRT, or Plasma?

    Ok, I am looking at new TV's, and I know this question has been asked, but it seems that just about everyday something new comes out. What does everyone here think the best is? Not so much about brands, but type of TV.

    How about something like this for HDMI?

    Found this, Component video and analog Audio to HDMI Adapter Gefen EXT-COMPAUD-2-HDMI Why wouldn't that work for a 360, so that you can have HDMI? Says that it supports HDTV up to 1080P. (Componet and analog audio are converted to HDMI stream) $178.95 so it is pricy, but if you really wanted...

    Computers 101

    OK, so I feel that I need to start a thread that answers some of the most common questions I've heard or been asked. These range from simple to fairly complex. To begin, I've been a computer geek since my very first computer (used them before this, but got into it about this time) an Apple...

    What can be done about the lack of affordable broadband in rural America?

    First of all, because this is related to broadband, I've placed it in this forum, even though this forum doesn't get much traffic. Secondly, this is from someone that is very disgusted and tired of excuses from telco company about the lack of decent and affordable broadband for me. To begin, I...

    Question About selling Hughesnet Equipment

    Hello, Well, there is a good chance (it would take too long to explain, let me just say, AT&T has sent me a modem, they took the order, and it supposed to be activated tomorrow 4-4-07) that I'll be on DSL in about 24 hours (386Kbps-1.5Mbps down, and 128-386Kbps up for $19.99 a month). Anyways...

    So what happened to significantly viewed lil?

    Perhaps, it is buried somewhere, but I was just wondering, what ever happened to Dish (or Directv for that matter) adding significantly viewed locals (local channels deemed significantly viewed from neighboring DMA's)? Haven't heard anything about this is a while, and was just wondering...

    Well I'm back in the game :)

    Well, back a few months ago I sold my 360 because I needed the cash. Fast forward to now and last Friday (9th of March) I bought myself a new 360. I kept my HDD from my other 360 (sold to friend for their kid) so all I had to do was hook everything back up and install HDD and everything was...

    Anyone tried/have learned second, third, etc. language?

    Hello, Ok, so I really want to learn Spanish--native English speaker--the reasons are varying, but most in particular, I believe having the capability to communicate in English and Spanish would be very beneficial to me--I believe these two languages cover most of the globe together, next...

    So fanboys, what is so great about your format?

    OK, lets hear it. Everyone keeps talking about how they like Blu-Ray or HD-DVD. So lets hear it, what do you like about the format of your choice? It can be about anything; PQ, sound quality, interactivity, etc... Please, no arguments, just make your case about what format you support, have...

    Why all the hoopla about which format?

    With all do respect to all the fan-boys out there, I have to say, this is crazy. "HD will win", "BluRay gaining support" .... Really? Come on, both formats are new, and both formats give you the same thing, High Definition movies, programs, etc... BluRay between the two is the newest...

    811 giving me trouble, need help.

    Hello, My 811 (software P380) is doing something that is pissing me off. If I try to select OTA channel, it is locking up on me and rebooting. I can select ONE, that's 1 OTA channel with no problems, but if I try to channel up/down, directly punch in channel number on remote, and/or use EPG...

    Wal-Mart Demo Disc Problems

    Has anyone else picked up one of those free demo disc for the Xbox 360 at Wal-Mart? I got two, thinking maybe one was messed up, but I get the same thing on both. When I place it in my DVD player, I am able to see the previews--movie and game previews--on it, however, when I place it in my...

    Oblivion?

    OK, so I can't afford $60 to buy Oblivion so I rented it for a week for $7. Well, IMO, graphics are pretty sorry, and the story is fairly lame. However, with that said, not the worse game I've ever played, and I am hoping that it gets better as you go. I was expecting KOTOR (which is my favorite...

    So, how many wired controllers does XBOX 360 do?

    OK, I've got a question to ask, on the XBOX 360 there is three USB ports, two in the front and one in the back. According to some information that I've found, you can use the USB port on the back for a controller, however, according to MS you can't. I've also found some people saying you can use...

    My thoughts on Dish's HD upgrade plans.

    Everyone, IMHO, I don't understand why everyone is sooooo upset about this deal, for one thing, be happy Dish is now the leader in HD, they've only been saying it for what, 3 years, it is about time they lived up to it. For another, just the fact that we are looking to the next generation of...
