    SBS Korea Takedown October 1, 2005

    Does anyone have any current status of MBC coming to either D* or E*? It's painful to wait any longer - if neither one is stepping up, then I might have no choice but to sign up with either TAN-TV or KISB. Any thoughts? I will simply hook up a DVR and send IR signal to change either...

    Sorry to hear about your D* experience. I have been anxiously waiting for MBC to be on D* so I can sign up - so your candid input is very much appreciated. I used to (still have the machine) use ReplayTV with cable and I thought Tivo's user interface was similar to ReplayTV. My experience was...

    Thanks for your input. Oh well - after hearing all that, I wonder if I should "reconsider" ditching DISH completely. As far as cabling, did you have to run another coax to accommodate two satellite feeds OR was there a magic splitter that transport both signals over the same coax? My...

    I am curious to find out how things are going for you. Do you get both SBS and MBC on D*? How are the qualities? How do you like the standard Tivo DVR? How did you hook up 2 separate satellites to your TV? ANT1 and ANT2? I find hassle to change ANT input on my TV so I wonder if there is a...

    Basic 50 channels from DirecTV is only $10? Wouldn't most basic channels from DirecTV be the same as Dish's basic channels? Also would you have to change INPUT for Dish and DirecTV setup boxes? If there is a simple unified way of switching between DirecTV and DISH, let me know. That would go...

    Summit, Do you mean I could get the new HD-DVR and a standard DVR for free? Really? That would be great. I always thought you have to pay around $500 to get the HD-DVR. :)

    I checked out the dishstore but they seem to deal with only DISH. I called RapidSatellite which was horrible (and said it was a division of Circuit City). So what do people in Detroit get when they say they get MPEG4? Just the receiver? If you get the MPEG4 receiver now and want to get...

    Summit, I am waiting for the $200 incentive. Also I am in LA area so I would like to switch when they start rolling out MPEG4. Does HD DVR change as well? Would that be available or is the rollout only for HD receiver? Where is the best place to get best "deal"? I am looking for 1...

    Thanks. Perfect timing - I can potentially switch to D*, get $200 extra incentives and MPEG4 - Xmas present indeed. :)

    This is great news. As soon as the new incentive ($200 starting later this month) starts, I will look into signing up with DirecTV. I absolutely see no reason to stay with Dish any longer. Does anyone know when D* MPEG4 is coming to LA area? If within couple of month, then I should wait...

    OIC - if DISH was unable to keep what they already had (SBS), I highly doubt that they will be smart enough attract any Korean HDs. Also by now, entire Korean broadcasting knows about what happened and I doubt any Korean Tier 1 broadcasting company will work with DISH in the future. So if...

    That's great news. My DISH term ends on Nov 11th - perfect timing - so I will stay for couple of extra weeks and I should be set to switch to DirecTV - hopefully with the $200 rebate. I could totally see KBS-America being on all basic satellite/cable package. That was the goal of KBS-America...

    tru64ufs, Where do you go and download that program? Are you going to SBS site or file sharing site? Any input would be appreciated. X-man is one of my favorites! Even my 6-years old son loves it. Also didn't someone say you can download HD programs from some websites? From where...

    SBS Korea Takedown October 1, 2005

    I had posted few comments few weeks back - and I am surprised people are still talking about DISH - as if there is a chance for DISH to retain Korean customers. Come on - our time would be better spent in talking to DirecTV folks to offer incentives so that ALL DISH Korean customers can move...

    SBS Korea Takedown October 1, 2005

    I agree. If DirecTV gets MBC, I don't think DISH has much chance of getting new or retaining Korean customers - SBS+MBC is a powerful combination that no other combo can beat it IMO . The icing on the cake for DirecTV would be to carry KBS-America as well. IF that happens, DISH can pretty...

    Sarang - I have nothing against Music Camp. I just don't listen/follow Gasoo's anymore except when they appear in shows such as X-man. So when I mention 2+7 doesn't excite me is because of personal preference. I guess I am an old man who hasn't seen MTV or VH1 for at least 10+ years. Oh boy...

    I hear you. Having FTA and separate DVR (I have ReplayTV just sitting) would not be an option as it adds more complexity to a technically challenged wife :D . So as I said, I will wait and see what Dish will do in the next 30 days. If nothing big happens, then I will become a D* customer...

    KBS America is now on regular programming I called my local reseller and found out that the KBS America is already on channel 9850! It's exactly the same channel as 704. So out of 3 so called "premium" channels, 1 is gone (SBS/702), 1 became "free" on channel 9850 (KBS/704) - so the only...

    A final cry for help from a Voom subscriber soon to be forced into cancelling.

    As a potential Voom customer (close to signing up), this is a wake up call for me. With all the HD channels being offered by local cable providers and other satellite firms, I can't believe how patient you are with this. I do understand Voom has neat technology but it's matter of time that...

    Any Voom installs in Los Angeles and surrounding areas?

    I am in Irvine, CA. I have ordered Voom for a friend BUT I am holding out until VOOM HD DVR becomes available. I have researched last year for OTA reception in Orange County (40+ miles to Mt. Wilson) and to my surprise, the best antenna was cheap UFH only Radio Shack antenna for $23. I didn't...
