    Two TVs sharing one DVR Receiver

    Another quick question...if your reciever is set up for use on a 16:9 tv for the HDTV, is the picture on the standard tv distorted?

    PPV bomb drops on Feb 1st

    Flashing back to January 1st, 2000, when they told us the Y2K bug would hit in a year because the Millenium REALLY started in 2001.

    New HD Channels for 10/17/07

    Scobuck, without naming specific channels, I was wondering if you heard whether the "Christmas Wednesday" phenomenom is continuing with the remaining channels? Or will it just be random launch dates based on when rights and contracts are completed now that the October goal has been reached? I...

    New HD Channels for 10/17/07

    Well, I haven't been all that happy with TVLand for the last couple of years, since they ignore anything that isn't a sitcom and their idea of classic is 5 to 10 years old. I miss shows like Emergency, Get Smart, Dragnet, Adam 12, Man from UNCLE, The FBI, The Fugitive, and stuff like that which...

    New HD Channels for 10/17/07

    I look at Cartoon Network like I look at most of the Sci Fi schedule so far...it's not real HD, but it's a whole lot better PQ than the standard definition. I have to watch a bunch of it with my son, at least I'll get the best picture possible. Heck, I would campaign for Boomerang HD, but I...

    New HD Channels for 10/17/07

    Stuck in the Philadelphia DMA as I am, I can't say I get really excited by the RSN...really hoping for some nationals, like Cartoon or Disney or some other kids stuff for my son, FX for me... But that being said, more power to those who want their RSNs...I look at you with no malice and a ton...

    An Update

    Ok, I have a confession to make... I work in a job where I have to deal with customer complaints and issues almost daily, I have been here for over 20 years, so I tend to be a little too nice when dealing with CSRs...I sympathize too much. So, checking my signals on 103b, they were very low...

    Scobuck, do you still have faith in your countdown? (Just curious, not trying to back you in a corner.)

    DIRECTV statement regarding NFL HD 2007

    You know, I now understand why the internet can be a terrible thing... Scott made a statement that he was told that TLE's indicated problems, but he admitted he couldn't read them himself. I asked people on the other site if that evaluation is accurate, because I can't read them either...

    For my own sanity, I hereby quit the thread I started, and pledge to live by my words and not post anything negative about Dish Network or its subscribers. So, when does D10 light up?:D

    I know the faults of my provider...I also know that I look terrible in spandex, will never be 25 again, will never be confused with a male model, am a hack golfer, and I suffer from the curse of being a Philadelphia sports fan. I also would rather not spend my leisure time with people who enjoy...

    Deal...:) And if not clear before, I am not a E* hater...just want to limit my obsessing to what Directv is up to.

    Ding Ding Ding....we might have a winner. I didn't want to start some sort of war with my post either, or advocate censorship...as I said, I never go into the Dish Network forums, so I certainly believe there are posts of this nature there as well. I just am tired and frustrated, especially...

    I think calling it a lie is a bit of an overstatement as well. You'll note History Channel made no move to dispute this, and if I remember correctly, they even had their About Us information at the bottem of the press release. I think they had an agreement, it looked like Directv would be...

    Thank you, Scott...to be honest, as more of a lurker than a poster, I thought I had just done something wrong and it wasn't going through. I apologize for the multiple posts. And I especially agree about your posts about both companies improving, and hope I didn't come off as Anti-Dish. I...

    Might I suggest some new forums... 1. Dish Network Subscribers Complain About Directv Picture Quality. 2. Dish Network Subscribers Complain About Directv Programming. 3. Dish Network Subscribers Complain About Directv HD. 4. Dish Network Subscribers Discuss Their Superior...

    National HD Channel Roll-Out Plans

    We Surrender!! Okay, on behalf of all Directv Subscribers, I would like to concede the following points: 1. Charlie is, if not the one true God, at very least the earthly manifestation of the Norse god Thor. 2. Voom has the most compelling content since the Bible and Shakespeare's...

    Take this for what its worth...

    Yes, please, any SD information would be very appreciated. Would love to see Goodlife, GAC, the upcoming Horror channels, the B-Movie Channel, etc. I live in a weird, 2 mile square area where there is no cable coverage, despite being in Suburban Philly. I originally purchased Directv as a...
