They already did jack up the fees. Charlie is banking that cash for the inevitable settlement .

With Triple play, I am saving over $40/mo over Dish and my previous FIOS Double play. Not sure where you get the $23/mo, but it is not even close. Again, my $40/mo savings is AFTER figuring in the $13.50/mo for each TIVO and cable card combo (fees for first HD TIVO is $120/year, and second...

I made the switch, and am happy. I purchase two tivo HD XL's for about $200 each. The XLs hold about 150 hours of HD recordings. Definitely more than I need. With triple play, I am saving about $40/mo for 24 month commitment. In 10 months the Tivo's are paid for. What I like most about...

Had two reasons for switching to FIOS myself...financial, and rain fade. The increase in fees for my two E* DVRs was the final factor for the switch. I canceled last Saturday, and my return boxes will be delivered today by UPS. Since my original cancellation chat, I have gotten an...

Any DVR can crap out...including Dish Networks. Even new boxes can have a hard drive that is the '1 in a 100' that flakes out early. I've owned TIVOs where the hard drive has lasted 3+ years.

Dish CSR said at the end of the chat I had a zero balance, so that is good I guess (I canceled about 15 days into the month, so they should have credited that amount). Not worth the effort to fight for those $$. Got an email last night confirming the cancellation and they were sending the...

I just canceled dish (via chat) on Saturday and they said they would ship me the boxes for returning the receivers. I tried to log into my old account to verify things and the account had been deleted. In the chat they made it clear they would charge me $100-$400 per receiver if they were...

I also have FIOS internet and phone. Just cannot see giving up DISH. The reason....my dish DVR.

Why fight city hall? Instead work the system. Advise I got some time ago for "moving" : call dish support, get the person in India, so don't take the tech support option ! Finda a KOA campground or movie theartre in area you need to "move" too. Use that address and pick a lot/apt number...

What do you call sky-diving unemployed lawyers and law school dropouts who participate on TIVO/E lawsuit threads? Skeet!

Thanks. Decided to go with double-play first. If that works out, will probably call back after a few months to check offers for triple play. The only thing holding me back is their crappy DVRs and the up-front cost to buy TIVO boxes.

Just curious....does the $168 total include their DVRs? I can't come close to that deal when I chat with the FIOS people.

Thanks so much for the great summary! Based on this info, I will probably keep Dish and go with Fios for phone and internet. I just don't see much advantage of going to Fios for TV with all those fees and up front costs for the TIVO boxes. Plus, I like the Dish DVRs.

FIOS just came to my area and I want to install TIVOs. How much should I expect to pay monthly WRT fees for 1 HD TIVO and 1 standard definition TIVO? Does Verizon charge for the cable cards, and if so, how much? Am also assuming that a verizon FIOS set-top tuner is not required if cable...

Kelly's for dinner...believe its around milepost 10 or so....

And all those girls for James Bond movies....yeah! Here is Liciana Paluzzi in "Thunderball" :)

In my area, the weather guys/babes even preempt HD for thunderstorm WATCHES. Not warnings buy "maybe there will be a storm, but maybe not" watches. I can see a 1 minute watch notice, but interupting prime time shows for hours for a weather watch?????

How about this....Charlie buys Tivo, throws the existing case so EchoTivoStar wins, and then goes after Motorola, Direct, etc and makes another Billion!

Yep...she was making movies like "Ride the Wild Surf" in the early 60's.

Showing my age here!! Shelley Fabares made my heart throb back in the 60's:o

A compass and a cheap meter to "tweak" the signal for best reception. Google something like "dish pointing meter" to find the meter. Or you can find one on ebay for less than $20.

How about the upcoming, The"Bowling Beauties"....now that is compelling HD! :D

MOJO would be a nice addition.....

Well, played around a little more. Those two channels will not pass audio using Dolby 5.1 function on my audio receiver, but when I switch to Virtual, I get sound (but not Dolby!). This behavior only applies to NatGeo HD and the new HMC HD channels. What is puzzling, is that NATGEO worked...

I have been having bad audio with NATGEO HD for some time now, but have let it go since it was only one channel. But now, HMC HD was lit up today and it is doing the same thing. Only these two channels exhibit the problem. I have a optical fiber audio cable hooked up from my 622 to my...
