    They finally beat me!!!!

    Well, there is someone out there that insists that I should not be able to enjoy this new technology that is out there. I don't know what I did to this person to have this whammy put on me, but I truly apologize. For starters, my LCD TV had the same part go out on it twice during the 3 year...

    Need some opinions from the experts

    I am considering going from Dish to Direct. My reasons for doing so are not in haste, but in greed. I have been waiting for quite awhile for our local WEUX FOX to transmit in HD. I was under the impression that it would be SOON and that was back last fall. So I guess I am getting kind of...

    Smart Card

    I just read through the EA thread trying to figure out my own answer and was very confused. I wanted to read that before making a fool out of myself. Out of the blue today, I recieved in the mail a smart card. I have the 622 and have never had a smart card before. Is this what you guys...

    Lowest package

    I know we talked about this at one time, but I can't get it to come up in search. What is the lowest possible combination that you can have with dish while keeping active. Something came up and I need to free up some expenses for awhile. The pretty HD tv will have to stay dormant for awhile...

    Lacrosse/Eau Claire DMA

    Well, Directv has finally lured me into there territory with the possible addition of the Lacrosse/Eau Claire HD locals. I tried searching and I cant seem to pinpoint what I am looking for. If it is right below my eyes I apoligize. I am looking at the NFL ticket promotion. Is this a...

    Question about the HD tag on the program guide.

    This may have been addressed before, but is there anyway to know if something is being broadcast in HD. To be more specific, TBS shows all programs being HD via the HD tag that is at the end of the program guide description. Yet there is a show on SCI FI right now that looks to be HD, but has...

    Sammy was fooled this morning!

    I woke up about 4:30 this morning and checked to see if the new channels were activated. I turn on the TV and saw ESPNNews when I turned it on. I thought cool, they activated them. Then while half asleep I tried finding the channel on the guide. I could not find that channel. Well, I am...

    Tbs Hd

    I was looking at the TBS website. Unless I was looking at it the wrong way, it shows some non braves games that will be televised. Is this true? Has this always been the case.

    Dell XPS 420

    Does anyone have an opinion on this computer. I am looking to spend around 1500 to 1800 on a computer and monitor. I want something middle of the road for gaming etc. It does not need to be top of the line though. Any thoughts.

    Local news in HD?

    I live in a smaller DMA and all the affiliates broadcast a HD signal, but none of the local news is in HD. I was wondering if this was the norm at this point, or if other cities actually broadcast there local news in HD. Thanks

    Considering Directv

    Hello, I am close enough to my contract expiring with dish, that I am considering Directv. I have some general questions for you experts on this side of the table. I have searched some of these topics, but they seem to get out of scope either through bias or misinformation. 1. For those...

    *1 Year Anniversary

    1 Year Anniversary I noticed that tomorrow is the one year anniversary for the most volume ever at this website. It has been stated that Dish actually monitors this site. Maybe they were waiting to wow us on a day that they knew there would be a lot of traffic on this site. Probably not...

    FSN North WI

    I am having a hard time figuring this out. I live in Wisconsin and the location where I live requires me to have FSN North Minnesota. I dont agree with this, but I have come to accept it. When baseball season is here we have the twins on the actual FSN channel, and then they show the...

She stated that they had a meeting and were discussing the ability to have at least information on when things would be converted over to HD. She stated that there lead person told them, due...

    Now before everybody jumps down my throat because this may have been brought up before, let me explain. I live in Eau Claire wi, there is no possible FOX HD option. The station is apparently not financially stable. I was wondering if there was a way to get a waiver to get the HD out of New...

    Diplexer with air antenna Question

    Ok, Here is what I have. I have a dish 622 reciever with a 1000 dish. So they utilize the one cable from the dish to the reciever. They then use a diplexer to split off into the 2 inputs. This is common knowledge, I imagine. Well then they have a cable that runs from the output, returns...
