    Dish says "Yes"

    I was faced with the same dilemma and kept threatening to leave E*. Well, before the start of this season, being totally fed up and unwilling to listen to any more of Charlie's empty promises about all sorts of things and tired of balky hardware I finally said enough is enough and switched to...

    Time To Switch To D* (I Guess)

    HDMI? Big deal. It doesn't do much good if your TV doesn't have speakers, does it? (My PDP does not) You'll need an HT Receiver with an HDMI input or you'll still be using your Digital audio connection (Toslink or coaxial) for surround 5.1 or 7.1 (or other audio connectors) I run HDMI w/DVI...

    YES Network

    I'm coming to grips with that belief. If D*'s HD promises come to fruition then I believe that I am also going to wave E* good bye. Then, the question will become, "When will Yes Network be in HD?" :confused: :confused: :rolleyes:

    OTA digital channels disappear?

    Happened to me tonight. I went into my Favorites and saw that they were unchecked. I simply added them back and so far so good. A bit less hassle than rescanning but a PIA nonetheless. After months of relatively painless operation my 811 has started to act a bit flaky the past few nights...

    dish hd announcement?

    That's fortunate since they were given quite a mouthful ;) Tripe is also quite popular in Italy and Poland and I think, much of Europe.

    dish hd announcement?

    Actually, I think it'll be rooted in reality just a tad more than last week's tripe fest was.

    New software

    Any change in the low audio output levels? I almost blew my brains out the other day when switching from a Dish music channel to another input on my audio receiver. As you can see, my ears are very sensitive to sound <G>

    When?

    Very nice! I liked that. It made me chuckle. :D

    New York Yankees

    Fargin' bastiches! :mad: A few months ago a rumour was circulating that the YES Network was going to do Yankee games in HD come July. Any further word on this?????????

    Live Retailer Chat Report! (July 8,2004)

    Ahhh, that's better. I shoulda known you wuz jus funnin' wit me. Ooh, I'll let you in on a little secret. My favorite astronaut was Major Healey. Who was yours? I actually thought My Favorite Martian was much, much better than Three's Company. Darn, now you've got the theme song from...

    Live Retailer Chat Report! (July 8,2004)

    Hey, I still listen to the Gilligan's Island theme song! Ahh, the good old days.......sittin' around the family tv and hootin' it up watchin' Gilligan's Island. Yep, those were the days. You got a problem with the show??? :p

    The best REMOTE for E* equipment!!

    try the search using URC rather than UMC. The rest is correct. :yes:)

    HD Subscribers???

    Preferable, I think, to a huge John Kerry face. For that you'd need a 9x16 aspect ratio, hehehe :p

    Sirius on Dish? Who cares!

    The hell with music, HD, SD, and color, too! I want fuzzy locals in black & white to watch on my tube television! Good enough for me!:eek:

    PQ with dish-supplied component cables

    Bingo! The only diff might be in terms of long runs of cable, as Simple Simon mentioned. Save your money, Monster is a scam. Oh, and because I spent a wad on my 50" Fujitsu Plasma (where DVI DOES make a difference) it doesn't mean I should foolishly waste money on expensive cabling. That...

    Food For Thought...

    Ahhh! Just as I've been saying for the past couple of weeks. Looks like my source was reliable, after all. It feels good to be proven right, hehe. :D;):yes:D Glad I have my 61.5 dish up!!!

    811 software - mid June !!!

    Wonder if the dark video fix will also extend to the dark video via DVI issue?

    I predict...

    Cool :) I guess, then, that based on the emotional involvement of the players involved here (E* & V*) it doesn't bode well for an agreement. :no However, hope springs eternal. Maybe we'll get lucky this time and a mutually beneficial arrangement can be worked out. I'm keeping my options...

    Considering Digital Home Plan

    No, I don't believe so. I think they offer the usual $49 deal for $39. Give 'em a call and find out for sure! BTW, you'd think some of the guys on this board get a referral fee for steering people away from E*. Take what they have to say with a shaker of salt. They're like prosletyzing...

    Considering Digital Home Plan

    My situation is very much the same as snathanb's. Despite some minor gripes with the 811 I'm still able to enjoy HD viewing. I, like many others, hope the next SW DL cures some of the bugs. My biggest gripe is with the dearth of E*'s HD program availability. This is what may cause me to stray...

    I predict...

    No, how many business arrangements fail at this point? And, I would like an exact figure! <G> I hope your involvement wasn't the reason for the failure of the deals. If it was, then maybe this deal stands a slight chance of coming to fruition since I don't believe you are involved in it...

    I predict...

    You guys are going off on all sorts of tangents. I've gotten some pretty reliable info that V*'s president has been to Colorado quite a few times to meet with E* and some sort of carriage arrangement has been arrived at (and Scott has, of course, already reported that Charlie has been to...

    Considering Digital Home Plan

    You *MAY* be eating those words in the not so distant future. If the info I've gotten proves to be true, E* is going to be surprising many folks. There is something in the works....... Hint: An arrangement twixt E* & V*, beneficial to both of them and to us. ;)

    811 - Do you like DVI or component better?

    DVI, fer shure, on my plasma
