    Newbie Question. 811 input to Denon A/V Receiver

    Component switching has only been out about a year, on high end recievers $1k and more. You probably have composite switching, the worst. He could get much better signal by hooking up the DVI connection if his TV supoorted it. You will always get your best signal by going to your TV without...

    Newbie Question. 811 input to Denon A/V Receiver

    His reciever has video component switching. He does not need to change video inputs on the tv when switching between DVD, DBS and anything else he might have. Helps with non video poeple using the equpiment, wife and relatives.

    More Concerns Surface on News Corp./DirecTV Deal

    This is not good news for me. They gave themselves the rights to twins baseball and then whine to the FCC that things with satelitte are not fair. What are my chances of having this channel on Dish or Direct?

    New Club Dish offer in mail today

    I will not be using these. My brother-in-law just moved to Chicago and got dish without consulting me. He did not even get a DVR, was never explained to him. For him and his goals I would have given him one. His dealer did a poor job explaining the choices. I gave two away when I joined 2...

    6000u HD picture problem?

    It might be that not all of the cameras covering the game are HD cameras. I've read some posts talking about this issue.

    ESPN and Hockey last night

    There were three hockey games on ESPN last night. I expected to receive the Wild at Chicago, instead I had Stars and the Ducks. Was this a mistake? I called Dish and they said I was blacked out. I can't be blacked out when the game is at Chicago. I called around and cable was showing the...

    What new features would you like to see?

    I would like an option to have my reciever automatically download the guide every night. They never get turned off, so at a specific time like at 4am It would download the guide.

    Life after DishNets DHP?

    Thanks for the correction. That is my only gripe with Dish, It is really hard to find accurate information about pricing and model information. They release information on Charlie Chats and Tech Chats that you can't verify anywhere. I'm waiting to see how this all shakes out on Nov 1 before I...

    Life after DishNets DHP?

    I have not had any problems with DHP. It was a great promotion that allowed me to get into satellite tv. I have fullfilled my contract. The problem that dish has is that their service is not any better or worse than Direct. So if I want to upgrade to HD and they charge me MSRP for all of the...

    FREE SUPERDISH UPGRADE If a customer agrees to sub to locals or HD from 105 for 1 year and pay by credit card auto pay So does the word "customer" include DHP? From the last CC I have learned that these two words don't mean the same thing.

    Greetings AGAIN from Baltimore!

    jcrash: That was my guess also. I think there is also channel mapping information. Here in the minneapolis some HD boxes seem to have problem correctly processing the PSIP. CBS is channel 32 digitally and it gets remapped to 4.1. The PSIP gets changed and some hardware will not see 4.1...

    Scott's Thought's: Satellite HDTV - Too Little, Too Late?

    I have come to the conclusion that cable will probably be the long term choice for me. FSN (Fox Sport Net) in my area will start broadcasting some hockey and basketball games in HD after the first of the year. Will Dish or Direct broadcast regional sport networks in HD? I can't spend over...
