    Charlie Ergen on Distant Networks

    I think those who are legal DNS customers should be able to keep them. But why should I want to help a company that violates the law. Too many corporations think they are above the law. So now they want us to help? I think all should be cut off and then allow legitimate customers to file for DNS...

    Can You Modulate HDTV?

    They are for computers only, (BB and CC systems) You can get them but the problem is that they only accept video files from a computer. So it does no good with a normal satellite HD Box. Unless you have access to transport streams This is what they use...

    Why not local radar on dish?

    why do you have to have it on your TV? You do have internet acces and can get radar images anytime you want.

    TiVo seeks halt to EchoStar’s digital video-recording business

    I think E* could pay tivo $1 per DVR royalty without passing it along to the customer. What exactly is the 5.99 (or is it 6.99?) DVR fee paying for?

    Shareholders Waiting For Ergen To Decide On EchoStar's Future

    Primary shareholders obviously know something is up. "not for sale" and "these rumors are false" could be a way to try to keep stock prices from shooting up why they silently buy up all avaliable stock to take the company private. Then buyout all remaining shareholders at a negotiated price that...

    Lifetime Launches 'Drop DISH' Campaign

    Yes but he did reject lifetime's offer to renew the old contract for one more year while negotiations still take place. So he could have put the channels back without a cost change. But hey, like you guys said, so far they haven't lost many customers over this so it looks like lifetime might not...

    AT&T/Echostar

    Just because Charile said NO does not mean it won't happen. Because this would be a closed negotiation charlie would have to publicly say that it isn't happening. If he came out and said that it could happen, without an actual public buyout offer, it would artifically inflate the stock value and...

    Furious with dish, forced to disconnect

    $60 an hour to install, take the $99 offer. Get a bucket and some cement and a pole make your own mount that is going to take the most time. If you have the bucket mount ready it shouldn't take an hour to mount and point the dish.

    is Tivo compatible with Dish?

    Yes it works but honestly the Dish DVR works and looks better. The tivo mpeg encoder chip is not as good as the mpeg encoders used to broadcast. If you already have a tivo then it will work with the IR emitters that ship with the tivo.

    Help! Service turned off because of lack of phone connection!

    HMC is a great thing and I know D* is working on it but eliminate the freaking phone requirement. Most houses with Satellite also have internet connections. Use the net not a freaking phone. Have phone as a backup for those without net access, tivo has a net connection and it works great.

    Help! Service turned off because of lack of phone connection!

    Same Situation I switched to DISH for only 2 months and left because of a similar reason. I got shut off because one of my 3 recievers wasn't connected to a phone line. And I didn't answer their call. Because guess what, I work for a living and am not home all day to answer stupid calls. So I...

    Dish acting like AM antenna

    Sounds like a dish grounding problem. Not an electrical grounding problem then. I can't help you there. Maybe someone else has an idea other than removing the grounding from the dish. Crazy question, TV 2 is connected using new RG6 cable correct?

    Dish acting like AM antenna

    You still haven't answered if you have the TV2 connected to a ground. If it is not grounded you will need someone to fix the grounding of the dish. Im a sound engineer so dish grounding is not my specialty. If there is no ground connected on the TV or Reciever and you still get a hum I would...

    Dish acting like AM antenna

    The ground lift adapter turns a three prong plug into a two prong plug. This removes (lifts) the ground, as long as you don't connect the adapter to the screw.

    Dish acting like AM antenna

    I'm referring to the line. All plugs will need to be lifted, Dish, TV etc. You remove the ground you get rid of the loop. If it still remains the loop is being formed in the grounding of the dish. I'm not an expert in grounding dishes so I can't help you there. I actually don't have mine...

    Dish acting like AM antenna

    Do you get a hum on TV1? or just TV2 with the ground lift. Second did you only get the radio station on TV2? If the hum is only on TV2 right now make sure your TV does not have a ground plug also. The whole thing has to be lifted to remove the loop.

    Dish acting like AM antenna

    You have a ground loop. If the dish box has a 3 prong plug get a ground lift adapter. This is usually the main problem. If it does not, then your ground loop is in grounding of the dish. You would then have to lift the ground out of the line. I don't know if there are coax adapters. But try...

    For those of you wanting HD now!!!

    And the superdish is not a monster to install? It only gives you 3 sats. Compare the Superdish to a Phase 3 D* dish. I found the phase 3 much easier to install. I doubt it would be much harder than the super dish to install the 4 LNBF dish.

    61.5 only - Help

    Umm,, I can't seem to get the signal meter to give me anything. The weird thing is that the 811 tells me an elevation of 36 while the dish was set at 46 when it was receiving it before. I may need to get a sat meter to try to find it. The 811 isn't giving me anything.
