You can now post that you have 10,999 members. That was uncalled for. To question someones information on something like this is one thing - but to drop to these immature rants is what lowers your credibility further than the sales person at BB.

Edit: Nevermind - You said "won't" - I misread that. I'll leave my logic though so its captured for posterity :) Why would you argue with including the RSNs? When the new sat goes live, the RSNs go national. Once the RSNs are national you can get them via the Sports Pack - no different than...

Not sure the history, but given the same press report lists total sales at 2.2 million BR and 1.5 million HD-DVD I'm not sure how someone would arrive at 3 to 1 unless they did a week or month comparison - not a longer term comparison. The math would be impossible. With that said, I think...

Home Media Research: Blu-Ray title sales beat HD-DVD 2 to 1 in 1st half.

This is not true. Unless somehow you have secret information that has not been released (not likely if its being pushed around internally at D*) or you got bad information. As of 8PM Eastern last night one of the launch engineers from the facility posted the latest update (on another site)...

I agree Sco. I can always tell which site I am on by the target of the majority of the snide comments. Its done by both users and admins on both sites. If I wanna know something about Dish - I come here. If I wanna know something about DirecTV - I go there. Chris

I find the comments about extorsion and overcharging and others to be interesting. The fact of the matter is it isn't extorsion by any stretch. MLB has a product that people apparently want. They had a television agreement that expired. Their peer/competitor (NFL) has this nifty little...

Actually, 18% less than 294,000 is 241,000 - and the official NPD data for Jan2007 is 244,000 PS3s. Soooo... in other words its about a wash. Why? Well, one can say MSFT would have sold more consoles if they had more manufactured - but you are also comparing a $299/$399 console to a...

I think there may be overestimation of the console selling power of Halo. It worked great for the original Xbox which was an unknown entity until Halo. But how many Halo fans are out there that are waiting 2 years to buy a next-gen console simply because Halo 3 isn't out? And how many...

It became whinning when it was obvious they weren't gonna let it go AFTER the game was given to FLA. It was campaigning BEFORE the game was announced. Regarding Urban's change of opinion - Jimbo is right, but the reason is well documented. He got to the SEC, realized how difficult the...

Oh don't worry. A month of Meyer's coaching and a 13 game SEC season under their belt- I'm guessing that Tebow's range of plays expands, along with Harvin and Fayson. Also, Wynn will be healthy, along with a coached up young offensive line. The 2 QB system works well - when it is used to...

This cracks me up. First - they won. 2nd - you pointed out rivals which as USC can tell you can be very tough. FLA has a lot of rivals - don't put too much on the score. Second - Michigan barely escaped Penn State, BALL STATE??, a mediocre Minnesota by only 14, put up a grand 17 points on...

Florida by 10: 34-24 Why? Urban Meyer, Freshman, Health. Urban Meyer is a tactical genius - he finds ways for his players to win. If they don't win, its because they failed to execute, but he put them in the position to win. Second - see #1. Urban played more freshman than any other...

No - but he is a Volunteer :) Go Gators!

The problem is with what drives not only the average consumer, but us as well - and that is content. The other night I had a choice between an HD baseball game and watching a streamed Internet, highly compressed and pixelated baseball game stretched to a 57" HD box. I watched the pixelated...

I have it in the St. Louis area. It is not VOIP, but it is an IP based voice system that runs on a proprietary network. Charter's website has a FAQ which answers all of your questions about how it works. Check there for details. What I can offer is an assessment. It is fine. Good enough...

I'm still curious about the 2nd half of npeps question - will HD be an option if you buy the family tier, or do you have to go to the bronze, gold, silver, etc... Chris

Not true - I get the cutesy pops, clicks, whirrs, and all things Tivo via the Optical Output on my HDTivo. Chris

I think those of us in the know are disenfranchised and have given up. I only voted because it was on the quick hitters on the front page. I don't even read the 811 threads anymore. I've made my decision. I will try to get out of my commitment and go to DirecTV. History: I had a 6000...

E* has two channels for ESPN Alternate and ESPN2 Alternate. These are reserved for when ESPN has two feeds, the primary and the secondary for areas where the primary is blacked out or not shown... Does D* do this as well? Thanks, Chris

If V* picked up InHD and InHD2 I would be on the phone ordering it within an hour. Chris

And the point? Charlie says a lot of things... so do the CSRs. The problem is that Charlie now has the credibility of a CSR... Chris

I agree with you to a point. At the point that the software does not perform where it should at release, they have failed. The problem is that it appears the system was released too early, meaning there are such core issues they have to rewrite substantial portions of the code. If they were...

I back Rick's assessment. We just added a 508 to our 57S700 and the picture is soft, not sharp at all, and locals are nearly unwatchable. With that said, the picture of our 811 on the TV (through component) is flawless. Cable can't hold water to it, and the 508 is a signficant step down. I...
