I just can't see these kids who never even purchased a CD all of the sudden pay over a $100 a month for TV when they leave the parents house. It's not happening!!!:D

Yep, and the very last subscribers will end up paying more and more for TV. The less customers the provider has, the more they have to charge to stay afloat. That's what happened to cband! The prices went up and up to the point it no longer made since to subscribe as their numbers dwindled away...

Yeah, you need to play the churn game! Switch provider every 2 yrs. Because your paying too much! :D

You'll have to move on over to D* as they seem to be able to offer "select" which happens to contain Disney but not Espn!

I was hoping for an explanation from you or anyone for that matter! I know we were all told you can't have ESPN without Disney. But, something must have changed or the entire truth was never told. No offense intended!

If that's the case. Please explain the "Select" package on Directv. It has Disney, ABC family!But, low and behold it's missing ESPN!

Na, they just don't like someone "knocking" their beloved DishHD lite! :D

And your RSN is included in the silver pak?

Which broadcasters are shooting in 1440x1080i? Just curious?

All i know DISH was awesome in the Voom days! Equator and HDnet were spectacular at that time. Then, it seemed to all go downhill from there as more and more channels were added. Maybe 4k will bring that "looking out a window" feeling back?

Even if they are running 1920x1080I. There's no way they can run 9 channels on a 45 mb transponder and still get the minimum 6 mbps for full rez according to the link you posted above!:D The math doesn't make since. If they were cband TP's running at 30000 sr. Then yeah, it could be done!

My mother n' law has the hopper and from what i've seen the PQ is good! But, at times the picture does the same weird blur, kind of like a haze that spreads across the screen, hard to explain. But, i don't see it on Directv! And the article above is most likely BS! I mean serious where did Dish...

Yes, i read his whole thread and i've come to the conclusion "IT IS, WHAT IT IS" and the guy needs to step back away from the TV a few feet and accept it! It's not going to change! :D

Yeah, i guess you could say 1440x1080I is between SD and HD!:D

It won't help. What your seeing is the result of too many channels crammed into 1 satellite transponder! Sorry!

Might have better luck asking your question in the Dish forum!!!:D

Back in the day you could pay a 6 dollar a month access fee and order the HD only pak which later became HD absolute without having to subscribe to a min. program package!! Maybe it's still available? I have no idea!!!

That's what i thought! And from what i remember she only has a single 211 purchased from Iceberg!! I don't know. Maybe she has HBO and Max too?

When did AT250 cost $100 a month?

You notice how they skimp you on the TMC by not giving the eastern HD feed. :eek:

That's a shame! :D

Do you get a lower programming rate or pay the same?

Yeah, it doesn't matter anyways. But, heres a link. Pay close attention to the pink highlights(HD) of the western satellites. Tons of S2! The move has been on for a few years now. AMERICA :: TrackSat.com Lyngsat appears to be a little more up to date...

You must be confusing master feed with H2H as most of them are now mpeg4.:D But, anyways the pics in a DISH thread where a poster was complaining about the PQ he's getting from his Hopper. I don't now if it was his receiver, camera quality, TV or just the moment of the scene the picture was...

I think it's a little more than slight! It wouldn't surprise me if D* "isn't" compressing the masters any further. Unlike E* and thier overloaded TP's.:D I posted a couple comparison pics in another thread. Although it's not scientific!:D One pic does look better than the other.Guess which...
