    BB@ Home disc By Mail Ending September 19th

    I cleared out my Queue and returned my last disc. Got an email today that they have shipped the next disc! My queue is empty. Are they just randomly sending discs now? lol

    Question... Now that you have had your Hopper

    Had mine since day 1. 1. Love PTAT and Auto Hop. Also the ability to view ALL recordings from any room. 2 & 3.Had a rough install. Tech just wasn't trained well. Took him all day and still had no connection to internet because he connected Ethernet cable to a Joey instead of a Hopper. A few...

    How long do your movies take to arrive in the mail?

    From the time I get the e-mail, it takes 4 days for the disc to arrive on average. Sometimes it takes 4 days for them to receive discs that I return. My distribution center is a 3 hour drive away. Letters sent from there generally arrive in 1 or 2 days. Netflix was much faster. Sometimes...

    Streaming with Blockbuster Thread

    I have a wired Ethernet connection. The first movie I selected played within seconds. Now any movie I pick demands a LONG wait. I'm currently at 3hrs 54mins wait. That's not what I call streaming or on demand at all. I'm glad I kept Netflix streaming.

    Netflix is putting the hurt on prices!

    I read that they are spending less on dvd purchases and more on streaming rights. That could explain the long waits. I simply went from 3 discs to 2 to avoid paying more. Honestly, we watch more streaming through Netflix now than satellite.

    Blu-Ray not quite ready for prime-time?

    Thanks for the tips. I had no idea DLP couldn't display 1080i. I will set both to 720p (and the Dish receiver) and sit closer (I currently sit about 12 Ft. away.) to see if it's an improvement.

    Blu-Ray not quite ready for prime-time?

    I have an LG BD370 connected via HDMI to a 50" 720p/1080i DLP Rear Projection HDTV (both set to 1080i). I realize that the image quality may be better, but I just can't tell. That may be just me. Maybe my eye sight isn't that acute. The point of this thread was just to express some of the...

    Blu-Ray not quite ready for prime-time?

    I have had my Blu-Ray player now for over 6 months. I really didn't notice a big picture quality upgrade vs. upscaled DVD, but I do like DTS surround better than DD. Anyway, I had Blu-ray via netflix and watched several movies without a problem until "Fame." I returned this movie 4 times for...

    OTA Program Guide on Dish Receiver

    Ok, here goes. I have previously contacted Dish, the station, and Tribune to no avail. Dish blames the station, the station blames Dish, and Tribune never replied to my e-mail. KXVA Fox 15 Abilene, TX Shows incorrect guide information. I think it is showing CW guide information.

    Ordering an MT2 OTA module...need some info

    I got mine for free, but it was because the CSR made a mistake when I ordered the receiver. My bill shows a charge and credit for both the tuner and shipping, so I am assuming that you must pay for both.

    Wow stupid People

    Indeed. I was just trying to help the OP by sharing my story. That's all. I guess I should have just ignored the background noise.

    Wow stupid People

    I think you may be going a bit far with your analogy. I do not expect the installer to set my favorites list, or hook up my phone line and turn on caller id, or ethernet cable, or surround sound, or set my DVR timers. Maybe you do have a point though. What SHOULD customers expect from a new...

    Wow stupid People

    Where in my post did you read that I was slandering anyone? I didn't call anyone an idiot. Reminds me of a funny saying, "When you make assumptions, you make an ass out of yourself." I was simply trying to provide a possible explanation for these types of issues. No, I didn't see the installer...

    Which HD channel would you prefer to be added?

    Yes, that would be ideal. Just change all the SD channels to HD and get rid of the double coverage. I'm sure the SD subscribers wouldn't even notice or care. I have often wondered why they are taking up so much room with two versions of each channel. It's just stupid.

    Wow stupid People

    Maybe installers just aren't used to setting up HD yet. I know that's hard to believe. When I got HD 3 years ago, my installer left the receiver set to 4x3 480i. I probably wouldn't have known if I wasn't curious enough to check all the settings myself. Then, two weeks ago, another installer...

    Any Must Have's on Tuesday?

    My wife and kids loved it, but I just couldn't get past the low quality CGI. The worst example being the wide shots outside the North Pole.

    LG BD370 player

    I realize this is an older thread, but I just got one of these for $199 at NewEgg. I must say that I'm really loving it so far. Also, I feel like I'm finally getting my money's worth out of Netflix with this player.

    Dish running adult PPV ads on E!

    I think this is bad, period. Although teenage boys should not be up that late, some are. I can remember when I was a young teen, we had one of those big dishes. I used to enjoy surfing the hundreds of channels before anything was scrambled. One night I found the playboy channel (was MUCH milder...

    KXVA-HD Guide Problems

    Did that this morning. No luck. On the upside, maybe they will fix the OTA guide data for KXVA when they fix this.

    Not to beat a dead horse....Turbo HD Bronze

    Just do what I did and switch to the classic version of your package with HD. I fought the idea of doing that at first, but I feel pretty good about it now. Just remember that you are getting more than just 3 or 4 HD channels, you are getting some good SD channels too. In my case, Speed, FX...

    San Angelo Texas FOX OTA guide

    I have also sent several e-mails to Dishquality about KXVA guide data being wrong. They didn't even bother to respond to my last e-mail. I guess they are too busy dealing with the complaints from people in the Turbo packages. You could try to e-mail KXVA through thier website, but it has never...

    The worst customer service I have ever experienced.

    I think the new CSR chat system is just too flawed to really help. I have used it a couple of times and not been satisfied yet. I equate it to calling and getting a CSR from India. They usually do not understand you, and just quote lines from a call sheet. I would suggest calling until you...

    Fox HD heavy drop out/pixalization?

    I have problem with my local Fox too, but it's not Dish. The OTA version is just as crappy.

    622 # 4, coming soon

    I was going though 622's like candy too. I'm on my third one now. Thanks to advice from people on here, I got a USB laptop cooling fan for $12.00; and now I am trouble-free for over a year.
