Comcast is the HD leader, not Dish! :) Actually, based on the radio ad I heard the other day, Comcast is the HD leader!!! :D So, Dish is not alone when it comes to false advertisment.

Oh people, just switch to Direct and end your pain!!! :D The grass is indeed green (and with more pixels) on the other side!

Cool! That's nice! Record as many shows to last a couple of months; then downgrade package; then upgrade, then record again; then... :D

Only one external hard drive? sorry if this has been answered and I did try using the search with too many hits. From what I understand you can only plug one external hard drive at a time correct? Now, once I plug one in is that the only one I will be able to use or can I unplug that first one...

I think you're right. Signals on 129 normally suck for me. Oh well, that's the price of "moving" I guess and using a dish 100. Hmm, I wonder if I repoint the single dish I have at 148 to 129 if the signal will be stronger.

i wonder if this a national feed problem.

I've been getting Chicago HD stations after I "moved" there. I was gone for a couple of weeks and have a bunch of shows recorded on the 622. It seems though that for every single show recorded on ABC there's a lot of heavy pixelation from time to time (sounds continues normal, but the pic gets...

Spotbeam Yep, they're on spotbeam. Oh well. At least I still get the 4 major stations, the same as with Dtv. So now I can go ahead an cancel DTV and save $30 bucks!

Just moved to chicago! My Move went pretty smooth. No questions asked! :D Now, something is not right. I'm getting the chicago HD channels fine, but not the SD channels. It keeps asking me to do a "check switch" Is it because the SD are on a spotbeam? Shoud I do the check switch?

hopefully they'll not go spot beam like many are going. but again, I can just "move" back.

Can I get Chicago channels being in california? Are the HD chicago channels still conus?

Actually I meant a lot more MONEY for a lot less CHANNELS! :) that's also how it goes with comcast in Sacramento. I also forgot to say that another reason for staying with dish is that I'm only paying $19/month for the HD bronze package. I go the $20 HD discount + an extra $10 discount for 10...

No change Got about 14 months left on my 622 contract. ONly have the minimum package. Also have DirectTV with the minimum. The only other option is comcast (a lot more for a lot less) or my local fiber optics company, Surewest who, unfortunately doesn't have an HD dvr! Lately, watching less and...

So, are they really feeding the HD signal? But if that is really a digital signal you wouldn't see ghosts like in analog signals; you'd see pixelation!

Aren't they HD?? Well, the guy on the phone from allamerica told me that these DN were all in HD!:p I think he was confused about the difference between a digital (i.e., just the regular signal being transmitted via satellite) with a true HD signal. I asked him twice if he was sure about that...

All the "extra" HD channels! No Voom, ESPN, Universal, HGTV, Food. And to think I came back to Dish because they had more HD and now, all I watch are the Network stations!!

Thas what just happened to me too. But the guy asked me to call them in a week, because he said there are over a million people calling them and signing up so it will take time for them to put everybody on their system. I'm already in an area with locals so I would have to get waivers, etc (or...

Out of curiosity, any particular reason why they're no longer negotiating?

yep, gone for me too. Remember all the trouble I went through Scott to get it? A whole month of negotiating with dish and letters from locals station, etc, etc! Now, will there be a "bright" side for this situation, like if they don't offer these 2 channels anymore will that make room for other...

Will HD lite become liter??? Hmm, if Dish does get it does it mean that they have to cram these other channels with their current sat/transponder making rest of the HD channels even "HD-liter"????:mad:

That has happened to me. All I did was change channels and then come back to the problem channel. That solved the problem...

I had only disconnected D for 3 months when they started calling me begging me to come back and offereing me the same deal as a new customer. IN fact, they even "turned" me into a new customer in their systems so that I was able to get a deal. I guess it depends on whom you talk to ( you may...

they let me come back as a "new customer" last august even though I had only disconnected it in May. In my case though, THEY were the ones asking me to come back so they were willing to do anything to have me back. :D but it still took me some time to get a really good deal from them. I kept...

here in sacramento I think our CW (ex UPN) started on 9/11. there were tons of outdoor signs saying "don't miss Dr. Phill every night at 7 PM"). Oh yeah, Dr. Phill! :rolleyes:

They already are!!! :D
