    Dish price going up

    I downgraded my Dish package when I seen the increase. What done it for me was the fact that they increased much more than the package tiers. I am in no position to pour any more money into the "boob tube". When ever Denver area finally gets the DTV tower up and running, I will cancel and just...

    Lets get a list of Receivers where Dolby Digital does not work.

    FYI - Sample Rate Convertors will not work with an AC-3 stream. They corrupt the audio data. Also, NEVER pass AC-3 though anything that does not have a 100% unity gain structure (no data scaling allowed) as this will corrupt the audio data. That's the real beauty of Dolby-D and E, people can't...

    Lets get a list of Receivers where Dolby Digital does not work.

    My JVC-6008V works great, both optical and copper from a 5000 w/adapter. I've used each output for a few years with no problems at all.

    The Satellite War is ON!

    To "wish" such misfortunes upon your competion is tabo in the satellite industry. EchoStar wishes no harm to DirecTv satellites.

    Dish will not install a grounding rod, will I be OK?

    Maybe the techs that Dish send out for installs are not "qualified" or "licensed" to install high voltage cabling. Therefore as homeowner, you would be responsible to make sure a qualified electrician installs proper grounding per national and local electrical codes. Liability would have...

    Likelihood of seeing Turners dropped

    I think this is yet another move by Echostar to use the customer base as pawns for negotiating contract renewal. Expect to see " Contact Turner at 1-800-xxx-xxxx to complain". Remember the ABC Family fiasco?

    E-mail I just sent to ceo@echostar.com

    Lets be reasonable with our requests, shall we. If not satisfied with any service from any company, then move on. Even Echostar can not and will not satisfy every consumer/customer.

    What's a good reading for the 105 bird with Superdish?

    Hmm... With such low signal quality, the FEC rate must be quite higher. They may be tweeking some, thus reason for such delays in content launch to customers. Lets hope the STB chip sets can handle it reliably.

    My Superdish came and went.

    I really doubt Echostar is holding up delivery of HBO-HD to customers for no reason. Many providers will grant a distribution service temporary authorization to uplink their signal for test purposes only. Obviously, HBO has not granted Echostar permission to "sell" or "free preview" to customer...
