    Sirius Xm to raise rates another $2

    How is the merger working out now? Oh to pull the wool over one's eyes..... The continued unfortunate outcome of the Sirius/XM merger will hopefully be something that people don't forget...but probably will.

    Fox News HD Now Live on HD-Only Turbo Package!

    I have DishHD Absolute, and now have channel 205, but 9477 is still red. I assume that means that Dish HD Absolute will be getting 9477?!? Fox News is in free preview........

    Vip 222, Cinemax, or other problem?

    I take that back...I don't get channels 9440-9444, as well as their counterparts in the 300-400 range on the Vip 222. I do get the sd versions. Anyone got any ideas?

    Vip 222, Cinemax, or other problem?

    I have a Vip 222 that I have hooked up via HDMI to TV1 and rF via TV2. Setup has not changed since I got the Vip 222. As of last night, channels 9440 and 9441 are very pixelated and usually cause the receiver to lock up when I try to view them from either tv. All the other channels work fine...

    List of HD Channels NOT Available on Dish Network

    Exactly. Regardless of how we feel about Voom, they should be included.

    Dunn traded to Diamondbacks

    Freel is too injury prone. I agree with brainfry 100%. Unfortunately with the hiring of Baker, the Reds are once again 2 or 3 years away from being a competing team. Too bad a Pinella deal couldn't have been worked out.

    LMAO. I've been wondering the same thing. Wonder when the public will hold companies accountable for misleading advertising.

    DISH NETWORK® UNVEILS BIGGEST HIGH DEFINITION UPGRADE IN TV HISTORY

    How is this "big" news if I have a VIP211 and VIP222? 150 HD channels...LMAO. 100 HD channels for me means I receive under 50, so 150 = under 75. Don't drink the Kool-Aid folks!

    Ken Griffey Jr. "Throat Slash" to Jeff Brantley

    Reds should have traded Dunn and Griffey instead of Hamilton. :cool: As for Griffey, he has never been "in sync" with the media, and they don't like that. Therefore, the rip him every chance they get. Dunn lifetime stats are .248, with 644 RBI's and 268 HR's . He has averaged 100.25 RBI's...

    XM Merger Not a Done Deal

    Like I said...this merger is a bailout of bad business decisions (gambling-by signing multi-million dollar contracts). The US needs to stop doing this. If these two satellite radio companies fail, and there is a demand for satellite radio, other companies will fill that demand.

    Dish network® meets 100 hd channel mark ahead of schedule

    I hope you are right. Paying an additional $20/month Aug 1st for RSN's and a few channels that I won't watch doesn't work. At this point it seems that Dish is trying to push current customers away. Also, would someone send Charlie a calculator...he doesn't get the whole math thing.

    Retailer Chat Recap - July 10, 2008

    So Dish charges $10 for RSN's in the HD Turbo packages. I guess we are special, so we get to pay $4 more than any other package for adding RSN's.

    Retailer Chat Recap - July 10, 2008

    So Aug 1st, the HD Only Pack becomes Turbo HD Gold, and adds RSN's for $39.99. By my math, that means HD Only package gets RSN's for an extra $10 per month. And it appears that if you want to keep all HD channels currently offered in the HD Only pack, you have to get RSN's. If you don't want...

    Junior hits #600

    From Sportsline: "Griffey currently is at 600 in 9,045 at-bats. And had he not lost an estimated 450 games to the disabled list from the time he arrived in Cincinnati in 2000 through 2005, his number today undoubtedly would be far higher than 600." I hope he stays in the game for a long time...

    Bottom line...higher prices for the consumer.

    denon or onkyo

    Maybe check out the Onkyo TX-SR805 instead of the TX-SR705. It can be found for about $700 from an authorized dealer.

    Dish HD - Are You Downsizing?

    I hear you, but it is definitely downgrading in Dish Networks opinion.
