    I made the switch to D*....my first impressions.

    1st question....I haven't seen anything as good looking as what they provide at install but with a better font. I'd keep googling to see what you could find or just create one yourself. 2nd Question....I too find it kind of confusing. So what I do now is I'll go to a sports channel (ESPN) and...

    I think the reason is people want an all-in-one solution. They don't want multiple avenues for one service. This is also the reason bundled packages with some cable providers has become so popular. One bill, one provider, one relationship. I know the last thing I want to do is deal with...

    I made the switch to D*....my first impressions.

    I don't see the option from my HR24. From either of my HD non-dvr boxes I can choose which DVR I want to record something to. Surprised you can't do it from the DVR.

    I made the switch to D*....my first impressions.

    Just to be clear, more than 2 rooms can watch off of one DVR. Every room with an HD box or HD-DVR can see all DVRs. But the HD-DVR can only provide two "Streams" at a time. So if you are watching something on the DVR, only 1 other room can watch something on that DVR...

    I made the switch to D*....my first impressions.

    This wasn't a goodbye thread to talk trash on E*. This was purely informational for those wondering the differences or having questions about comparing the two. There is a lot you don't know until you have it set up and you are messing with it. I'd hate to see someone switch and then find out...

    I made the switch to D*....my first impressions.

    Disclaimer: This is not a way for me to bash one provider or the other. It is simply to give my impression of D*'s service/equipment compared to E*'s. This may be helpful for someone on the fence. Equipment: 2 HD-DVRs (HR24), 2 HD receivers (H24) Stuff I like: - Single wire technology...

    NHL CI Question

    That is my Dell Zino hooked up to my Home Theatre receiver via HDMI....then HDMI from the receiver to the TV. I have Verizon FiOS internet service.

    NHL CI Question

    As an alternative you can try NHL gamecenter online for 5 days free. The picture quality is pretty good and better than DIsh's HD. I had it hooked to my 50" TV and it looked good.

    NHL CI Question

    Because of the dispute between Dish and fox. There is a thread that will give you the details. This is the reason I'm having directv installed on Saturday. If you paid for CI already try to call and get a refund because of the lack of HD games Go wings

    Depends on how much bargaining power they have. Fox has those local affiliates plus some local sports networks. That is some serious bargaining power.

    Pulling the local Fox station is going to catch the attention of more people than pulling just FX, Nat Geo, and the Fox Sports Network (if they even have one). If they end up pulling the fox local stations from Dish, watch the sh*t hit the fan.

    I'm excited about the switch and using the whole home DVR. It was also nice to order from a local installer/retailer. We talked for a few minutes about the setup and it is obvious this guy knows his stuff and is passionate about what he does. Instead of ordering the service and praying they...

    This is a gamble i'm willing to take. But I think it won't be an issue. If Fox gets pulled from DTV, then obviously I'm not meant to see it ;)

    I'm done with trying to figure out alternate ways to see Center Ice in HD, I'm done with trying to figure out what i'm going to do if my local Fox station goes down November 1, and I'm done with Dish. DirecTv is coming out on Saturday. I loved DISH while I had them, but these recent loss of...

    It isn't just about the TV, it is about getting what you paid for. Fox Sports Networks are very important to a lot of people because their local sports teams play on that station. To these people, Sports may be the only thing that they watch. So they sign a 2 year agreement and then 1 year...

    I agree 100% At over $100/mth for their service, I expect uninterrupted programming and the "We can change programming at anytime" should be thrown out. We are paying A LOT of money for TV. It is 100% greed when you say you can change your programming at anytime yet the subscriber can't...

    No CSR is going to know what is going on with the contract negotiations. Most times I know more about what is going on before they do.

    Dish and Fox are both to blame.....maybe Fox more. But when it comes down to it, I'm paying to watch TV. And I'm not going to pay if I don't get to see my RSNs and possibly my local Fox station. I will just go to DirecTv since it is very similar. I'm not going to stand by some...

    Nhl center ice -fox dispute?

    Watching GameCenter Live on my 50" Plasma and they quality is pretty darn good for streaming online. It is MUCH better than the SD feeds I've been watching on Dish. The only downside is a little stutter during panning, but other than that it kicks ass. If I were watching on a smaller screen...

    What DTV just told me

    I had a DTV person on the phone ask me how I felt about "losing your local fox sports network" when I was inquiring about switching. I replied: "Obviously your company is not a local retailer like it says on your site. Because if you were, you'd know we don't have a fox sports network here"...
