    EchoStar to Acquire Sling Media

    I can see them building in the Sling capabilities in a future DVR / Receiver. Also wouldn't surprise me if they charged for it monthly as well. I had greater faith in the original company innovating, I think that will get lost now.

    Getting Jealous of Directv?

    What has been pissing me off is Direct isn't raising their price for their HD package, yet. That could put some pretty serious competitive pressure on E if they do not raise the price. We'll most likely be making the switch to Direct once our house sells, just a good time to change things...

    Directv and Dish using a single dish?

    For about another 90 days. Its fairly obvious Direct will be pulling ahead of Dish in this regard with a simple look at the stations lined up for each. I'm a Dish sub and even i can see that. Charlie needs to get off his ass and spend some money or pretty soon Direct will be beating Dish in...

    Dish new HD / MPEG 4 Bird KU or KA

    There are three players: Kingdome, kvh trac vision and motosat Kingdome and KVH offer in motion use while Motosat is just an auto dish on the roof. All systems are push a button and it seeks the bird automatically. King and kvh also trac while in motion. Its pretty slick. Kicker is they...

    Dish new HD / MPEG 4 Bird KU or KA

    I understand direct tv is going to use KA band for their new birds and HD. Is that a Mpeg4 thing or something Direct is doing on their own for some reason? Is the Dish Mpeg4 bird only KA or will it still be KU? How about the new HD stations comming? I ask this because I'm shopping in...

    TiVo vs Echostar lawsuit

    I'm not a Direct Sub but I've played with the Hr20 and its not nearly as bad any more as your stating. Its actually a pretty solid machine although not as good as my 622 or my original Tivos its very close now. That said the reason Direct dumped Tivo is because the relationship wasn't...

    In Motion Satelite

    Tried to search but no luck. Anyone on the board using an in motion satelite device like Trac Vision, King dome or KVH? If so what are your experiences and could you make a recommendation as to which you prefer and why? This is for a Class A MH Install. Thanks!

    will TBS HD be stretch-o-vision ?

    I hope E doesn't go cheap on the upcoming HD content and sit on their laurels or they'll be short one customer thats for sure.

    Voom PQ comparison

    I'd argue the average HD consumer had no clue nor cares about HD Lite. Not too mention the odds of having a side by side comparison available to be able to see the differences are nill. Probably why I'm not holding my breathe for increased PQ because by the time the birds are up there and...

    Does the VIP622 come with a HDMI cable?

    Mine didn't come with HDMI. I did get some component, composite and RG6.

    HELP! HOA making me move DISH

    A good lawyer is going to charge you much more than it will cost to move the dish. The HOA can fine you, put a lien on your house and in general make life miserable. Sure you can fight them, spend $200/hr for a lawyer to send letters and play patty cake with the property management company if...

    The LNB looks like this: eBay: DISH NETWORK QUAD LNB LNBF LEGACY 4RECEIVER DISHNETWORK (item 280125013713 end time Jun-20-07 19:55:39 PDT) The only difference is there are only 1 output on each side as opposed to two in that picture. Each is labeled, one has 110 and the other 119 so I'll go...

    HBO to go all HD

    If dish falls behind I'll be one of the first ones out the door. I certainly hope they don't take the cheap road and end up falling way behind the game.

    NESN HD - letter to CEO

    If D* catches up with their HD programming E* is going to lose its really only distinct advantage is has going for it. I do miss the sports on D* but I put up with it because of E*s superior HD offerings. If that changes I'll drop E* ETF or not I really dont' give a crap

    Tampa HD locals

    I got tired of waiting for WPB locals (i'm in PSL) so I picked up a cheap Terek OTA antenna for my locals (get everything but WPEC) and "moved" to Ft Lauderdale. I just picked an address in map quest and made sure my billilng address was kept the same. Now I have Miami HD's, suprising how much...
