Fright Night was in my BB queue for a long time, not that I cared about the wait, but when it finally arrived it was a 3D Blu-Ray disc and it wouldn't play in my older 2D Blu-Ray player because it wasn't 3D capable. I can't find a 2D version of this movie in the BB inventory, search result...

I was wrong about this and the online support person was not correct either. It turns out I actually am in the Platinum promotion and didn't even know it. I had the Platinum pack over a year ago and called to ask about ways to reduce my bill. The CSR said they could reduce it by $10 since I'm...

I have the Platinum pack as well and upgraded to 2 discs at a time on Saturday and also see the wrong amount on my Dish summary. Mine says $15 but I think it should be $5 for the extra disc. I chatted with Dish online yesterday and was told the summary would be corrected by today but I still...

Thanks guys. I'm keeping my VIP722, I've never been unhappy with it and I really don't need the additional OTA tuner. I appreciate the effort from Dish though. The Dish offer included some free PPV certificates and free Starz for a few months. I called them about it and they bumped Starz...

My VIP722 has been rock solid for many years but I received a free upgrade offer that expires on 1/31. My 722 has always worked great but lately I have noticed intermittent blocky pixelation when starting recorded programs or fast forwarding to a new portion of a show, and the time it takes to...

It really is time for more HD. I quit my b*tching after the last rollout but it has been quite awhile.

I need MLB. I'm sick of ESPN. Too biased, too lame. Time for something else.

That's the one I'm looking for. All I can say is it's hard for me to be too mad because this is just so hilariously consistent.

You know it's a bad one when M Sparks throws in the towel and admits surprise. I'm with ya, buddy. No way this just happened. We need a face-palm emoticon.

I'm a Yankees fan, my forum name says it all and I already don't get YES, so I just hope Charlie will set aside his bitterness with Major League Baseball and give us this one channel in the same way he finally relented and gave us the NFL channel. We deserve this. This is so important to so...

This is just so disappointing. I was okay with the loss of Extra Innings because even though I bought it every year I realized I didn't watch it that much. But to not offer the stand alone MLB channel is a killer because ESPN is just not enough baseball news for me, I don't care for their...

You might get used to it and no longer see the difference or your TV could also be aging over time and that affects PQ. Depends on the length of time. Rear projection TV's bulbs age, LCD's age, Plasmas age. My girlfriends all start out great and the longer I know them the less attractive they...

I wouldn't want to use either one. Couldn't I just copy and paste either one at that point? Devils advocate. :D

I love this topic. I've always thought they were funky too and don't use them. It probably comes down to typing speed. I don't mind spelling them out. It's especially funny when you read Dish or Direct TV news on EngadgetHD and Gizmodo and then go to the comments section and some of the...

Wow, the only station in the Des Moines, IA area to make the switch recently to the digital transmission standards has killed their OTA signal strength for their channel. NBC(WHO-TV) in Des Moines made the switch and now very few people with indoor rabbit ears can receive it. It went from 90+...

Sorry.

Because socialized state owned news agencies are your thing? Guess what the British Government wants you to think, guess BBC.

Straight up. The PQ of HD on Dish is horrible now. The pay channels are good and some select channels, but I recently watched some of my old VOOM shows stored on the HD and the difference is incredible. Air Racing anyone? Dish's HD on the network channels (USA, TBS and TNT) is a pixelated...

It just all depends on your TV set. Some really shine the 1080p, others just dump it and look great too. Lot's of variables left in the HD game. LCD, Plasma, RPTV, Htz rate ... etc.

Oh you just can't talk about repeats at this point. Come on! How many times do I have to watch the same shows on Smithsonian, HDNET, HDMovies, HDtheater, MGM, Hallmark, ABCFM, Palladia, Universal, the movies on TNT and TBS and USA, etc ... the HD shows are just pointless and repeat over and...

Voom hating is a hobby around here. I still miss Voom. Say what you will about the wealth of HD channels we enjoy now, none of it is truely HD. They're just giving us back the level of picture quality we once enjoyed on our square tube televisions that displayed 420 or less at this point...

I asked the Dish CSR to inquire about Des Moines HD locals on a sat other than 61.5 in the future. He put me on hold and came back with the 61.5 offer only. He probably wasn't very well informed though, read my above post. I wouldn't put any weight on the info he gave me. My own intuition...

I thought that sounded odd when the Dish guy on the phone offered to replace my current dish with a Dish 500+ (?) to cover all the bases. I had to ask about the wing dish and then he said that would be a better solution. Thankfully I read posts on SatelliteGuys. I assume I'll have to do a...

I just got off the phone with Dish. I've scheduled installation of a wing dish for the new Des Moines, IA HD local channels that are on 61.5. They're charging $59 for a 2nd dish plus no more than $29 extra for service because I'm on the protection plan. They say it shouldn't be more than...

So "prevented from showing the channel" is the new "pull the channel" when stingy Dish holds out forever and won't pick up a contract with a local? No difference.
