    does blockbuster actually offer free streaming content in the dishonline plan?

    I used to have netflix, so to me, a plan that allows streaming as well as by mail, means free streaming of some titles. I haven't seen how to do that with the dishonline plan (that replaces dish platinum). I had dish plat for years, and signed up for BB no problem with dish debuted it. I did...

    home addr vs bill addr re locals

    Can you still change your home address re your billing address in Dish to substitute a neighboring set of locals? I live between two areas. Dish switched me so that now I am getting the other locals. I want the old ones back. Will the "locals" police come after me ?

    VHS to DVD question

    I have a fair number of old VHS movies that have never made it to a DVD release. Before the VHS tapes degrade completely, I want to copy them to DVD. I bought a magnavox VHS/DVD recorder to do this, as my old VCR is on its last legs. I did a few VHS to DVD transfers on the new machine just...

    advice wanted: lcd monitor vs tv

    I was buying a new netbook on Dell, and noticed they have a great deal on a full HD 1080p LCD monitor with an HDMI connector. I have an older 20" TV in my office that has a Dish network 720 as its primary receiver and I have always meant to eventually get an HD tv for it. But why get a TV...

    multiple 622 issues

    I've had my 622 for a few months, but this weekend, I really intended to give it a workout. I had a ton of programs scheduled to record, some football games, some back episodes of Mad Men I'd missed, a bunch of movies off the scifi channel from some disaster movie marathon they seemed to be...

    animal planet HD

    I switched to this when I was upgrading to my external hard drive, just to see one of the new HD channels, and the feed was very strange. It had cut off the picture so that the animal planet logo was only half there before the picture was cut off. I tried all the various aspect ratios on my...

    waffling

    I'm considering an FTA systemand waffling between a coolsat 8100 motorized system that would give me HD, PVR, and multiple sats that I really prefer, and the supposedly simple-to-install glorystar system which would get my feet wet and let me know if I could even see the two main FTA sats...

    FTA package?

    I was thinking of getting the glorystar FTA package. I had skyangel with my dish top 250, mostly because Sky angel was there, and for the family content, not the religious. Now that sky angel is defunct, I was looking at glorystar to replace it, but I'd be just as if not more interested in the...
