    DISH says Give Customers What They Want

    Golden's are awesome. That's the only breed I've ever owned and I will continue to pay a breeder. Golden's (and many other breeds) have so many genetic health problems that you can't afford to buy from anything but a reputable breeder. They are a very common puppy mill breed, and there are very...

    HDMI cables with RedMere technology from Monoprice

    ...All of this is EXACTLY what I said before. But unfortunately a certain person is trying to blame his lack of English comprehension on me. Redmere does not convert the transmitted format, nor does it add error correction. Basically it boosts the signal at the source end, then applies...

    HDMI cables with RedMere technology from Monoprice

    Uhh. OK.. First of all, HDMI has NO error correction, as has already been established. That is WHY we get spark lies and artifacts. So there was no point in bringing it up. Second, with regard to HDMI (the topic of THIS thread) the signal IS either PERFECT or it is NOT. If you have no...

    HDMI cables with RedMere technology from Monoprice

    No you also missed the point of the statement. We are comparing it to analog - wherein you can (usually) visually see a difference in the picture by using a better quality cable. For example a 50ft component run to a projector using RG6 cables will usually look better than the same run with...

    HDMI cables with RedMere technology from Monoprice

    Yeah that's exactly what I was getting at.. Thanks! :) sparklies are lost/corrupted bits in the stream. They can be random like snow, or they can affect the same pixels consistently. Its similar to the blockiness/pixelization you see in a digital cable or sat stream when there is a glitch, but...

    HDMI cables with RedMere technology from Monoprice

    I've used them on a few installs, including my own.. They work as advertised, but I wouldn't bother with them for any application under 15'. Basically its almost like a repeater so you don't get sparklies in the picture or handshake errors with a long run to a projector or remote room while...

    Hit record in middle of program and the entire episode recorded

    No, for the third time, it'll record from the beginning of the show or the beginning of the buffer, whichever is later. All DVRs work like that, because people don't keep pieces of shows. When they hit record in the middle its usually because they want to keep the whole thing. I seriously don't...

    Hit record in middle of program and the entire episode recorded

    Edit.. Stupid thing didn't quote.. This is in response to daretobe The tuner has to have been on that channel since the beginning in order to catch the whole thing. If you turned it on at 7:05 and then at 7:25 decided to hit record, it will save everything beginning at 7:05. It doesn't matter...

    Hit record in middle of program and the entire episode recorded

    If you are watching a program for a length of time and then decide to record, the box dumps whatever is in the rewind buffer (back to the beginning of the time slot) into the recording. So you could start watching a movie, and hit record up to an hour into it and still capture the whole thing...

    NHL Center Ice blackout vs NHL Gamecenter blackout criteria

    Yeah ^^ This.. It becomes even more problematic when you are close to a "blackout border".. There are several site you can go to which will tell you what your IP's geolocation is being reported as. Sometimes it is the nearest backbone data center, sometimes it is your ISP's headquarters...

    Any DISHnet Customers Interested in Testing Something?

    That's what Im thinking too.. That's why it intrigues me. I've used sat internet before and the latency on Skype is awful.

    Senior CNET Writer Resigns Over Dish Controversy

    Lol I don't think "reality show" and "integrity" are allowed to be used in the same sentence.. And I know politics isn't allowed but it is relevant to the discussion and this is as far as I will go with it.. Since we are talking about bias, even Helen Keller could see that CBS loves Obama with...

    Any DISHnet Customers Interested in Testing Something?

    Will this beta be discussed openly here? I don't have satellite broadband but I'm very interested in how they propose to make VoIP work smoothly given the unavoidable latency in the uplink/downlink legs of the trip...

    Senior CNET Writer Resigns Over Dish Controversy

    Yeah but as I said, except for Viacom channels, nobody adds commercials because the shows are cut 43 minutes and they have no room without extending the time slots or overlapping like Viacom does.

    Senior CNET Writer Resigns Over Dish Controversy

    I believe the limit of 17 minutes per hour only applies to broadcast. Cable networks can go further. However, a program designed for a 1 hour time slot is normally 43 minutes long. So there is simply no room for adding extra commercials.. The exception to this rule comes with Viacom channels...

    For those that have had Dish & Direct........need honest opinion please

    Genie doesnt require cat5. Neither did standard MRV. Both use MoCA (DECA). Cat5 is an unsupported DIY method.

    Dish made bid to acquire MetroPCS

    Re: Dish made bid to acquire T-Mobile That's a hell of a deal right there, considering in the store they're $4.50 for the small box.. :D:D

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    Its WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too late for that. Charlie has already set precident long ago that he will bend over and take whatever the content provider wants to stuff up his @$$. Its like throwing a hot dog down the Lincoln Tunnel at this point. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

    Well when theres an enormous population of suckers who will keep paying more for less and defend your unethical practices to the grave to take advantage of, anything's possible. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SII using Tapatalk

    Vip211 w/EHD

    Of course. It's called a 'buffer'. It happens on any streaming device, including non-hard drive STBs like Roku, and even smartphones (they buffer to RAM).

    Dish talks about programming costs

    A la carte will never be economically feasible. Ever. For the provider or the consumer. Just look at Hits2Home on C-band. By the time you build yourself a halfway decent package, you're already at or above the same price as you would be on D* or E*, but with far less channels. And of...
