    3D in 2012 -- May send me to DirecTv

    Thanks to everyone for your commentary. Inazsully, I completely agree. Why Dish can't just answer this question is precisely why they lost me as a customer. Being coy with "we have it, except we don't broadcast anything in it" isn't keeping anyone around more than an extra month or two before...

    3D in 2012 -- May send me to DirecTv

    Well, I signed up for DirecTV today. I'll keep my External HDD in case I ever make my way back to Dish. I really wanted to see the Hopper/Joey system... perhaps I'll be back in a couple of years once the bugs are worked out :-).

    King3pj, it sounds like you and I are making the jump to DirectTv!

    Coming over from Dish to DirecTV

    I have bought a few, but over the past couple of years my threshold for owning physical content (and paying > $20 for one show/movie) has diminished. I'd rather watching something once and move onto something else. Plus, I'm really intrigued by ESPN3D.

    Coming over from Dish to DirecTV

    Hello, I'm seriously considering coming over to DirecTV from Dish network. Dish appears to not offer nor want to offer 3D content in the near future. My pretty 3D television that I just bought is dying to show my glorious 3D content, so DirecTV is getting some serious consideration. After...

    3D in 2012 -- May send me to DirecTv

    The problem is that from what I can tell, Dish has 2 movies at a time in 3D. If you don't like those movies then you are out of luck. Another poster on here had 8 screenshots full of 3D content I'd love to watch from DirecTV. Hubble 3D was one that was listed--it's sold for $35 on Blu-Ray 3D. Do...

    3D in 2012 -- May send me to DirecTv

    Scott -- perhaps I'm not seeing it... is there more than their one or 2 premium VOD movies? I'd be much more interested in a slight level of variety, and not pay-per-view.

    3D in 2012 -- May send me to DirecTv

    Agree completely Steve. I'd be willing to pay a couple bucks extra. I pay extra for the Big Ten Network, for instance, and have no problem doing so since I know it's a niche market. My hope was that with the Hopper coming out, they could even deliver 3D content over their internet VOD, so it...

    3D in 2012 -- May send me to DirecTv

    I don't think you understand Dishfan82. I signed up with Dish 5 years ago -- before 3D. I also like 3D and waited for a year until Dish had 3D content in order for me to buy a 3D TV--that was also larger and fit the room that I wanted to place it in. I got tired of waiting and decided to upgrade...

    3D in 2012 -- May send me to DirecTv

    I've been very happy as a Dish Customer for the past 5 years and am excited about the upcoming Hopper/Joey DVR... However I've recently purchased a new 3D television and am really excited to start seeing some content on it. I'm not a big fan of purchasing DVDs... I like Dish's Blockbuster...

    Big Ten Network

    Did this thread die off? It seems that everyone moved to the Big 10 Notice thread. Here's to hoping that the Big 10 Network becomes a reality soon on E*!

    Dish Network Big 10 Notice

    Just wait until Comcast and the SEC create the SEC Network next year. Then there will be an "SEC Network" thread, and all of us Big 10 folks will say how we hope that E* doesn't pick it up. I don't see how College Football (and sports fans in general) can be against this network. It gives you...

    Big Ten Network

    E* needs to get on board! I am a new Dish subscriber (within the last 2 months), because I had faith that they would pick up the BTN, and I fell in love with the multi-room DVR (which I have wired throughout my whole house and is the true differentiator for me between Dish and D*). Dish needs...

    Big Ten Network

    The fact is, until we go to an a la carte TV model, this type of zaniness will continue. I never watch the Women's Entertainment Network... why should I pay for that??? I'm hoping that the price ends up getting negotiated to be the same price as an ESPN2, ESPNU, or CSTV costs. The Big Ten...

    Big Ten Network

    I would agree that is a change versus how they do it in the past. However it could make sense if they regionalized both ABC and ESPN. Last year they started the big push of "ESPN on ABC", and I think that this might be the fruition of that... the big game gets put on ABC for that region, and...

    Big Ten Network

    Thanks for the quick answer. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed that E* will eventually come to its senses. Had they not had the (in my opinion) better technology DVR, I would have signed with D*.

    Big Ten Network

    Quick question... I'm in Maryland and have E*. ABC has regional coverage of some of these games... if ABC elects to pick up my beloved Buckeyes at the 3:30PM spot, but it's only regionally covered in the Midwest, Big 10 Network or not I'm screwed right? Back in the day, Gameplan would show the...
