    List of HD Channels NOT Available on Dish Network

    So far there is only TWO of those channels I would watch. That is American Movie Classics HD, and Turner Classic Movies. And that is only if they show the movies in OAR. No wonder why I would love to see ala carte. Less is actually more... more money in my pocket. Jerry

    Would Ala CArt really be so bad? + Broadcast Basic..

    I disagree. Lets say Ala Carte begins tomorow and 30% of the customers drop ESPN (I will) from their line up. That will tell me that they are overcharging for their product. They will have to LOWER their price to attract more customers. If they raise prices too much they will have FEWER...

    Would Ala CArt really be so bad? + Broadcast Basic..

    That goes against supply and demand principles. If they raise prices they will have FEWER customers, which will result in LESS revenue. To attract more customers they will have to LOWER their monthly charge to consumers. Jerry

    OTA antenna HDTV...need advice

    I am using the UHF only right now... Supposedly WMC-DT will be going back to channel 5 in Feb 2009, but I won't worry about it till it happens. When it does the first thing I will try is to make my own dipole antenna cut for channel 5 using a UHF/VHF combiner. If that does not work I will try...

    TIVO wins E* Lawsuit - Potential Impact on ALL DVRs

    It is not innovative to use a MULTITASKING OS (Linux) to MULTITASK... To me that is quite obvious since Linux Multitasks so well... They could have used Windows to multitask. Jerry

    TIVO wins E* Lawsuit - Potential Impact on ALL DVRs

    The reason why it is "obvious" to me, is that Tivo is using a multitasking OS (Linux) to multitask!!... you know while watching one program it is recording another... I.E. it is multitasking. Jerry

    Countdown to the US launch of HD DVD

    I'll wait for the format war to end... then I will buy either HD-DVD or BluRay, whichever one wins. I'll let everybody else waste their money on the losing format. That is what I did in the 80's with VHS and BetaMax. Jerry

    RG6 coax cable copper core center?

    24 cents a foot? That is way too expensive. that would equate to $120 for 500 feet or $240 for a thousand foot roll. Me I would use Belden 7915A. It is the same as Belden 7916A but instead of being quad shielded it is tri shielded. In most cases quad shielding is overkill. They both are...

    D* Customer Disservice

    Those subdivisions (HOA's) can NOT stop anybody from erecting an antenna or a small Sat. dish on their exclusive property. If it was me I would put up an antenna anyway. If the HOA complained I would put it in the front yard just to piss them off. Over-the-Air Reception Devices Rule Jerry
