Hi all, I have to admit...I cancelled my dish DHP this past month and went back to comcast. I had to have local HD and comcast now offers it. I do miss my PVR. But I now have a dish 6000 & 510 sitting around doing nothing. I am planning on selling the 6000 on ebay, once I get off my ass...

That is the funniest thing I have heard all week!! Great thx for the story!

The simple fact that professionals can enter the olympics really tarnished the games, and yes basketball is a good example "6. People are turned off by Pros making poses wrapped in an American flag such as our last track and field winners of 2000". I agree, in this day and age, America must...

My installer reccommended using flat paint, no shiny or reflective paint. SO, any glossy type of coat will cause signal problems, other than that, knock yourself out. I seen people paint BUDs before so I don't see why these smaller dishes can't be painted. I was thinking about blending in my...

Picture size is also a big factor, I have a 55" and the picure quality (PQ) is okay, not great with Dish, but I am comparing SDTV to HDTV. On my smaller sets, 13" to 26" the PQ is very good and I have been very satisfied

If you have a TV that has an integrated tuner then you can watch OTA HD channels irregardless of having satellite or cable for that matter.

FYI. The local news channel (9News) here in Denver is broadcasting in HD. It looks great, the detail is outstanding. And to see Kathy Sabine (who has guest appeared on the Today Show several times) is a hottie and in HD looks even better. 9news will now start broadcasting HD pictures...

I only have dish receivers so I can't comment on D* or Voom. But I am just behind the "leading edge" on Dish's receivers. I own the 6000, 510 and 301s and I have had flawless operation. With the exception of re-acquiring satellite on the 6000 when I watch OTA channels, or having the guide...

It that right you can run the 5XX signal to the 6000? Now that is interesting. I am currently splitting my 508 to two sets, so another may not work, but interesting that you can do that. good to know

I tried watchind deadwood last night..now the HD is great, but alot of talking and talking and swearing and swearing. this episode had some guy running around naked at the whorehouse screaming and hollering. Didn't need to see that in HD!! I couldn't catch on what was going on...but I am...

Here is number you can call at echostar, she is in the waiver dept. Here name is Susie, it is (303) 723-3664. I hope I am not breaking any laws by posting this business phone #. But that is all she does is waivers for HD. Good Luck! --shich

That'a the down-side. Previously, I tried to get CBS-HD and talked to CRS who said I was not eligiblie, plain and simple, so I took their word. After further investigation and help from this forumn (THANKS SATELLITE GUYS) I now have CBS-HD. So, you must be educated going into the realm of...

I now have CBD-HD after two phone calls It was simple and fast. I. I emailed by local affiliate regarding a waiver. They forwarded the request to the approporiate people 2. They called me and got the info they needed, they faxed the waiver to dish 3. Dish called me the next day...

Yep, I seen it too. My HD channels, especially the OTA - HD signal is sometimes out of sync. Not all the time, but sometimes. With the technology in it's infancy this is what we have to deal with (for now). You just have to get used it. Reminds me of when USA network had Kung-Fu thearte...

I must say in Denver the PQ for locals is very good. I have a 6000 and getting the picture by running SD signal through the component cables and the SD PQ is very good, even on a 55" projection TV. So, we are pretty lucky in the that the locals here in Denver are very good. --Shich

I currently am having a distant station fax a waiver to echostar as of 3/25/04. I am waiting for dish to call me and tell me that the CBS-HD feed is up and going. FYI. I contacted my affliliate about the waiver and they forwarded my request to a contact person at echostar and they are...

Hey David, Who is the contact for the Denver CBS affiliate? I would like to get waiver myself and get Dish's CBS-HD. It would be a nice addition. --shich

Sapient, This morning (3/23) my 119 was out, but interestingly enough it was only on my 508 receiver and not any of my 301's. I did a hard boot on the 508 and did a switch test and the picture came back. --Shich

I am tempted to switch back to Cable. Comcast has is getting better with HD channels and with cable you can add as many TVs as you want and not have a required reciever in every room, such as satellite. I invested in the DVR and 6000, but am leasing the rest of the equipment. I am on the...

Good Point Sdc, This may be a breach of contract with Dish and their customers . If Dish customers are to leave, this may be the point in time to do so. It's affects the whole household from what I been reading. Registered users are running to the hills because the wife, kids, grandmas are...

I can understand Echostar's position, but unfortunately the customers are taking the hit as well....With March Madness staring in a week I can't wait weeks. I will have to drop Dish, eat whatever long-term contract I have, make up the loss by selling my equipment on E-bay and go with my local...

I will tell you what the issue is...it's the Da** labour uniion that the steriod junkies are hiding behind. Critics are saying c'mon get tested and let's see if your on steriods. The players say, "you tell me when and I'll get tested right on the spot...Oh, but the union says I can't, so I...

That is a sad commentary that we have to come up with these "tricks" to get the equipment to work. I feel for the wifes that have to go through these hoops to watch TV. Can you say "DOG HOUSE" here's a thought Dish, how about when I switch to an OTA channel, the signal comes in, locks, and...

Interesting comment on the OTA signal. With my 6000, if I go to a OTA ditigal signal, the meter reads 0%. I discovered if I switch over to a HD channel, say HBO-HD and then hit the recall button back the OTA DTV channel..presto! the meter jumps to 60-70% and locks. I have to "jump start"...

My take. It’s a two-pong rating: Men: 4 Stars: Excellent, a lot of action explosions etc, i.e. Gladiator, The Replacement Killers 3 Stars: Very good, some minor technical issues, lighting, direction etc. 2 Stars: So-so, bad acting, slow script, 1 star: Stinker, slow and boring plot...
