Which is irrelevant if the single-dish solution for the EA that you have hundreds of millions of dollars invested in can't. Dish will not make the mistake of requiring multiple dishes for standard installs again.

Fox News has a heavy pro-Republican (not necessarily conservative) bias. On the other hand MSNBC has a heavy liberal bias. The current incarnation of CNN tries to split the middle and has at least succeed in that each side believes they are too much of a shill for the other.

And several other large markets in the western US. It is extremely unlikely that they will be added until the Ciel 2 satellite is launched and delivered sometime in 2009. If you want HD locals your choice is to put up an antenna (you probably won't be able to get KVBC, our NBC HD) or...

You shouldn't. The owners of your affiliate don't have the budget (or are just too cheap) to buy a HD character generator.

Um, where is the spotbeam for Las Vegas? I'm sure Dish intends to serve the two million people in DMA #42 that have had HD locals available from DirecTV for over two years at some point, right? Edit: The list posted earlier didn't include Vegas, but the spotbeam map on post #40 clearly...

No. And for what it's worth, Dish Network has announced cities they plan to carry at various events and Johnstown has not been mentioned yet. EKB: Dish HD Locals You are absolutely correct that HD locals are about agreements with the stations and the limitations of their satellites. DirecTV has...

Comcast is counting their HD VOD selections as channels while simultaneously ignoring that DirecTV has HD VOD.

FX has never done stretch-o-vision. If it's not in HD, it's upconverted 4:3. You must be thinking of TBS.

Easy. If you are a new customer you get you pay for NFL Sunday Ticket and they throw in 4 months of Premier (the top package with all of the movie channels) for free. Compare both providers and buy out of whatever contract you don't want to keep.

It's not Dish Network or even the guide data providers fault, Discovery rescheduled the episode (and next weeks) at the last minute. NEWS FLASH!!! RE: PREMIERE EPISODES! - READ HERE! - - Topic Powered by eve community

Just because you read something on these forums doesn't mean it's true. The national NBC feeds (East or West coast) have not be opened for everybody by DirecTV.

Since you accept this method of counting channels, how many does DirecTV have when you include their version of this (HD Movies Now) which has been available for months?

If you order online it should authorize all your receivers for a PPV.

None. DirecTV has a mpeg4 "SD" DVR model, the R22, but that's really an HR21 that's firmware disabled the HD output. Because of the computational requirements of decoding mpeg4 it doesn't really make sense to develop a true SD receiver, so the switch will happen when E* decides to send...

Dish recalibrated their signal meter scale a few months back. Instead of 0-125 it's the more logical 0-100. Your signal strength is exactly the same as it used to be.

The market doesn't value companies based on past performance. DirecTV has a market cap of $31 billion dollars. Dish Network has a market cap of $12.8 billion dollars. If you add back Echostar that's another $2.8 billion dollars for Dish. So $31 billion to $15.6 billion. DirecTV is worth twice...

Spend the extra money to overbuild your communications wiring. Monoprice charges less than $50 per 1000ft of RG6. At those prices, there's no excuse not to future proof your house by running at least two lines to every room.

Showtime ended up on the CBS side of the CBS/Viacom split. I don't think E* has any issues with CBS as they're adding CBS College Sports on August 1.

An interruption in service for maybe a week until D11 can take it's place. (I'm assuming that pre-D11 launch the DirecTV contingency plan for a D10 failure would be to utilize the techniques Echostar has already done, such has eliminating mpeg2 HD and use 8PSK modulation, increased symbol...

I think Dish needs to look into buying/leasing DirecTV's transponders on 110/119 and completely moving their core national HD service to those slots so 61.5 and 129 can be dedicated for HD locals only. It would be expensive and directly benefit their main competitor, but it would be a move to...

As much as they can COMPRESS things.

Maybe Echostar can buy DirecTV 1-R since DirecTV is losing the 72.5 slot anyways.

That is your receiver model and programming package. In order to troubleshoot your issue, you need to tell us what model of satellite dish(es) are installed at your house and, if you know, what orbital locations they're pointing at.

If it's legit then Echostar will file an 8-K disclosure with the SEC.

DirecTV builds satellites that can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. Roughly 500 channels of local HD + 50 channels of national HD.
