    You can't even got non-national Yankee games on DISH even if you live IN New York. Good luck :(

    A quick question about XBox 360

    You'll probably get like 20 hours or so from a full charge, maybe more. The battery level should show up on the dashboard when you bring up the menus.

    XM really knows how to kill a good thing!

    Neither of them were headed to profitability. XM was closer than SIRIUS, though, having lower costs and more subscribers. SIRIUS needed this merger more. But to get back to the flavor of the actual thread, it was SIRIUS that ruined XM. The merger was more of a "hostile takeover" in relation...

    Dishnetworks HD locals

    even DIRECTV has 4 of them in Albany. They could pick up WMHT or WCWN if they wanted to, but WNYA is TWC only (fiber) until they go OTA on Feb 19th.

    Sirius Radio not compatible with Best of XM?

    Older SIRIUS radios also can't support some new channels of SIRIUS (mostly Canadian, Hardcore Sports) and parental controls. It's pretty obivous that the hardware just doesn't support certain features (selectively hiding/showing channels, data protcols, something) that's integral to this...

    "CDLITE"

    It's 384kbps MPEG-2 Audio on DIRECTV, maybe just do that :)

    "CDLITE"

    They are doing quanity over sound quality, yes. They are NOT doing quantity over quality compared to FM radio and easily worth the money for some, though. Different audiences, really, they aren't really designed to replace your iPod, but compliment them with with live news, talk sports and...

    "CDLITE"

    XM and SIRIUS have much worse bandwidth restrictions as they only have 12MHz of spectrum to work with, and both of them broadcast the same signal three times (two offset by 4 seconds and 1 for terrestrial repeaters) in that spectrum so 4MHz "usable" before error correction, etc. XM and SIRIUS...

    List of HD Channels NOT Available on Dish Network

    That's unfortunate for the pre/post games but NESN-HD is THE most useless channel any other time of the day so it's not ALL that bad... unless you are a big P90X, Sham-Wow, Colon-Cleanse and New England Fishing fan.

    IE 8 Beta 2

    It's getting better. Still have to hit the compaitiblity mode button a lot, but it IS a beta. Feature-wise there are some cool things coming.

    List of HD Channels NOT Available on Dish Network

    Shouldn't the YES Network be on that list? All the rest of the New York RSNs are. Do they at least carry NESN-HD now?

    How about a "blank" channel?

    How about it just doesn't return to live TV when it's done? Media Center just dims the screen and presents you with your options, "Restart", "Delete", etc...

    Best Of XM/Sirius Package to be $4 extra

    The "best of" packages will NOT require new radios. A la carte will require new radios, due out in about 3 months and full-interorperabiilty (both services, one radio) is more like 9 months out.

    Best Of XM/Sirius Package to be $4 extra

    This is old news, the pricing and proposed lineup (minus the ACTUAL included channels) were announced way before the merger was completed: Sirius' post-merger line up - Orbitcast.com XM's post-merger line up - Orbitcast.com

    How about a "blank" channel?

    That's how Time-Warner's Scientific Atlanta/SARA DVRs do it too, makes sense. You even get the list of shows if you tune to the channel manually I believe.

    Sony BDP-S350 vs.Panasonic DMP-BD50 - HD Guru

    I ended up getting a bargain basement price on a BD10 when the BD30 came out and the BD50 was released. Since the BD10 also does analog out (except DTS-MA which I'm fine with) it is a great deal without having to buy a BD50 and I can still keep my receiver. Sweet deal.

    XM Removing Some Channels from DirecTV

    Actually when they say "their service" they are obvoiusly talking about XM Online because all 7 of these have been off XM forever. In the case of On The Rocks, Music Lab and The Flow and Special X 4 years or more! Wow... I thought this was an old thread at first, and I didn't realize these were...

    XM Removing Some Channels from DirecTV

    Not a huge surprise, these are ALL channels that left the XM birds probably 3 years ago! I bet they drop them from XM Online as well.

    Satellite does Sirius and Xm use?

    XM's satellites have both been replaced, XM-3 ("Rythm") and XM-4 ("Blues") are now live at 115 and 85 respectively, with XM-1 ("Rock") and XM-2 ("Roll") as in-orbit, powered-off spares in the same locations. The new satellites do not suffer from the failing panels. Sirius' satellites are also...

    MLB/NFL packages.. any chance they might come back?

    Don't you have 30 days to bail on that contract (depending on the state you live it-- at least 14 anyway)? You can switch maybe.
