As I posted about a month back, I had to switch to Comcast. If you were ever secretly wondering, wonder no more: Yes, it sucks. :( Anyway, I now have 2 622s that are collecting dust. I guess ebay is the best place. What should I expect as "fair price?" Thanks!

Years ago I had Comcast. Then, I got a Tivo. Later, I moved to DirecTV and a few years after that, Dish. Now, due to the economy and some other factors, I find myself back with Comcast. All I can say is, "Wow." And not a good "wow," either. I knew going in the SA 8300HD was not on the level of...

Sorry if this is a stupid question! I am (for several reasons) having to cancel Dish and get Comcast. (I know...). Anyway, I was wondering what the process is after I call to cancel. Do they "pick-up" the Dish? Or does it stay there? Will they pick up DVRS or will they just send boxes? Thanks...

Don't know if this works and I just don't know how, but back in my Tivo days, if I was watching a show and decided to go ahead and record it well into it, Tivo recorded the ENTIRE show (so long as it wasn't out of the buffer). I hate having partial recordings with the beginning missing) when...

I tried to trace it-- don't know what I'm looking at. :) Everything I can see looks connected. if it's an issue on the roof, no-can-do-- 3 stories up and I'm afraid of heights! They are sending th enew box anyway. I guess I'll hook it up. If the problem keeps up, I guess I'll have to lose a...

I am having a 622 replaced for the 2nd time-- though it's been a tleast 8 or 9 month since the first replacement. Several days ago, my 622 started doing just what the previous one had done-- giving me a "no signal" message ever few minutes. Usually, going up one channel and then back would fix...

At first, I wasn't terribly bummed with the loss of VOOM, as I figured we would get a lot more "HD." Boy was I disappointed. So much of this stuff doesn't even come close to HD. You hear this word a lot, but it's 100% accurate in this case:UNWATCHABLE. To add insult to injury, stuff on Food...

What's worse, IMO, is the channels that USED to show a lot of HD, but now (since their HD and SD schedules became the same) show all kinds of stretched content. Food Network comes to mind. IIRC, some of the stuff I am now seeing in stretch-o-vision was originally broadcast in HD. WTF is up with...

I'll have to scan around some more. The two shows I caught while surfing channels, one had a teen girl losing her virginity and the other was all about bed-hopping at a frat house. Not that I'm opposed to either of those things personally... :)

Even my (7 and 9 year old) kids have commented that some of the new "HD" doesn't look very good! Most of what I have seen with the new additions is PQ crap, plain and simple. And on a related note— I'm not sure whose"Family" ABC Family has in mind, but it sure isn't anyone with kids! Most of the...

RAVE and Animanai had content you couldn't see anywhere else. RAVE had some very good concerts and the SoundStage series was great. They actually featured some artists who are talented and not the crap you get from MTV and those like them. Anaimania had some pretty cool French/Canadian stuff...

so... we got nuttin' today?

Here's what's on the Sirius site regarding content from both providers on a current radio: "Furthermore, following the merger, existing radios will all be able to receive a mix of programming from both services." That works for me— my car has a stock Sirius unit, but I would really like to get...

Same problem here— on the East coast. I live in Richmond, Va, where the locals were just turned on a few weeks back. LOST was absolutely unwatchable last week-- VERY annoying. All the stuff the OP mentioned, plus, at one point, the screen turned SOLID yellow for several seconds. Freaky...

I have XM in one of my vehicles, just playing it through the tape deck and sometimes the FM transmitter. Sound was never stellar, but really not bad at all. I just bought a new car that came with built-in Sirius. Holy Cow! EVERYTHING on there sounds like a heavily compressed mp3. I'm not an...

That's awesome. My email wasn't nearly as detailed. Don't know if it'll do any good, but hammer at 'em! I can almost understand a station that NEVER had good HD, but their stuff used to be really nice! MAkes NO sense at all!

I said something something about Kojack to a very cute, young co-worker. She looked puzzled for a moment and said, "Oh yeah, my Grand-dad used to watch that." Oh, the humanity!

People tend to get edgy when the talk turns to (the lack of) HD! Note: Joking, trying to lighten the mood, not to be taken seriously, etc.... :)

I have a plasma set w/ a 622 and I notice the same thing on a lot of HD stations. Doesn't seem to be a settings issue.

I, too, would like to contact them. We watch a lot of this channel and now it seems to suck 100%, even stuff I have previously seen in the non-stretcged format. I just found this; not sure who gets it: feedback@foodnetwork.com

Wow, you really ARE an a$$hole of epic proportion. So, I'll spell it out for you: The amount it would cost would still be too much for ME and THIS time. I never said it was too much, a bad price, or anything of the sort. I actually said, as "any reasonable person" would see, who again, can...

I just figure I'll get banned now. I can live with it. Tired of snide commentary, piling on, and my favorite tactic of all: throwing out "troll." Which of course shuts down all discussion and makes the person(s) calling "troll" the winner. Funny,as I thought I was bending over backwards about...

Really? I was just about to say that YOU sounded like an a$$hole. Funny how that works. If you can read, you can see that there is/was nothing remotely troll-like in this, or any of my other posts here. I generally look for help when I need it and most of the time, thanks to the other fine...

Never said anything about anything "sucking." Far from it. What I said was "Not complaining or anything; I'm sure it's a good value." I can certainly see how that could be misconstrued.

Oh well, it's not like I'm stuck just watching the major networks. I have some HD with Dish and a good DVR (well, 3 good dvrs...). I'll just wait til the budget is better or I can find a better price. Thanks for the help, though!
