    CSN - Philly?

    To make matters worse, when Time-Warner and Commiecast were staking their claims to Adelphia, the FCC got involved and made sure that the RSNs in those regions were available to everyone. Their decision included statements about RSNs in general, but mentioned CSN Phila specifically as exempt...

    Farve retiring!

    At least he had the decency to get it over with early (by his standards) rather than waiting until after the draft.

    FIRST LOOK: The New ITVN!

    Is the Karaoke section up and running? I tried signing up for the 48 hour trial, but it keeps looping back to the sign up screen after I do a song search.

    comcast sportsnet philly

    With all the tax breaks Commiecast gets from the state and the city, they should have made it available a long time ago. I'm not holding my breath, but it sure would be nice.

    Post your COMMENTS about the Upgrade Here

    Have there been any changes to the footprint map for Dish 1000? My tech support person this morning was swearing I would need it in addition to my 61.5, but I know the previous map said easter PA would not be able to use it.

    Post Your Upgrade Experience Here

    Looking to score a 211. Called at 8:30 for a CSR, message said over 15 minute wait. Forget it. Called at 8:45 for tech support, 1 minute wait. Nice guy, familiar with the packages, fees, etc. Takes my credit card number. I currently have a DPP 500 and a DP for 61.5. Techie says I will...

    Contact the technician now if your interested in the 211!

    I just tried Tech Support and was told nothing was available until 1/Feb at any price. Time to wait an hour and spin the wheel again.

    My upgrade plan's

    I already have a 61.5 dish, and Philadelphia can't get the 1000. I'm planning to trade in my owned 811 for a leased 211 and pay the $49. Of course, this all depends on when the CSRs will be able to accept these orders. Tried on Tuesday afternoon and this morning, and both time got told "not...

    1/11 Retailer Chat Recap

    How Dish rates the customer, or the retailer? When I called yesterday to upgrade my 811 to a 211, they initially told me $98. Any word on when they will be shipping / accepting orders for the 211?

    BestBuy and ValueElectronics are taking pre-orders for Toshiba HD DVD!

    Robert, do you know if any of the "first run" HD DVD or BluRay units will have FireWire outputs? My Mitsubishi HDTV has a pair of 1394 inputs, but they will only accept MPEG 4 based feeds. Thus far, the only items I've found that support this combo are some high end JVC VCRs and cameras. If...

    811 & 921 Upgrade Info

    In the other direction.... ....I called this afternoon and was told by a CSR that it would cost me $99 to upgrade my owned 811 to a leased 211. $49 for the setup and $49 for "shipping" of the 211 to the dealer. I decided to go along with that for the time being, and told him to sign me up for...

    I'm extremely happy!

    How about those of us in the northeast who can't benefit from a Dish 1000? I just got a DPP 500 and DP for 61.5, and I think that's all I need for a while. Also, since I own my 811 and have never done a lease, what are the monthly charges?

    Dish 1000 / DVR upgrade question

    I didn't think there was such a thing as a DP Seperator. I thought they were only sold as DPP, and based on the product info on dishstore.net , a DPP44 was required.

    Dish 1000 / DVR upgrade question

    Hello all! We presently have an 811 and an old 3900 in our home. Our plan is to replace the 3900 with a two tuner DVR, but running a second cable is not feasible. Outside, we have a legacy Dish 500 Twin, a 300 dual output pointing at 61.5 for certain Philadelphia "must carry stations", and...

    Component Video question

    Thanks for the tips. Turns out I had to change the TV's settings from RGB to YPrPb. Somehow I expected it to sense what I was using for input. Oh well, it's all working now. Thanks again!
