    SciFi channel HD??

    Can't speak for Battlestar yet as the only HD feed I have seen is on Universal HD, but Atlantis looks great! The details are crisp and there is an obvious improvement in color, detail, and overall image quality over the SD which should be pretty obvious. The fabric detail on the uniforms is...

    Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

    I've had a trouble free experience with my D* receiver so far. Pretty much the same thing when I had my 622, except for that time when their software release caused HD corruption and we got messages saying our HD needed to be reformatted. Didn't bother me too much since I just did a reset and...

    Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

    I'm sure you know more about sats than I do. Perhaps you failed to read my posts properly because I never claimed to be an all knowing God of sat. How many people in the company you work for know or even care about what they are doing? You failed to understand my point. Most installers don't...

    Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

    You really should keep up with changes, if you do install D*. Then again I don't expect much from installers. Oh how I miss the days when our high end HT shops installers would do the installs. The good ol' days those were.

    Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

    That depends if you have that Dish 1000 (could be wrong on the name) then you don't have two dishes. Some of us had the Dish 500 with another dish for 61.5 so we can get our HD channels. Most of wiring should be outside for both dishes and only the actual lines going to the reciever should be...

    Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

    That depends on whether he gets a SWM slimline or a standard slimline. The SWM would only run ONE line from the dish into the home. That line is then split using a splitter thats rated for 2000MHz to distribute to the rest of the home. So if he is lucky to get that then the install would be...

    Heading for Direct I think

    Wouldn't that violate some agreement? What happens if your unit goes bad and D* needs to replace it? without the old HD to put back in there you just lost your investment and may even be charged for the receiver if D* finds out since someone did tamper with their equipment.

    Dish just called...

    Well these lies are one reason why I left Dish. It really pi$$es me off when I call in and get lied too about how they are the HD leader. Honesty would have gone a long way with me. Had they said, "yes, sir we don't have as many channels, but we are working on getting more" I may have stayed a...

    Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

    I don't see any other way of taking it. :) It was a long thought out choice for me. I like the Dish DVR and most people say its better so I was reluctant to leave, but their customer service gave me the nudge i needed. Gotta love rude CSR people that think they know everything. That and I got a...

    Cancelled Dish

    Sadly thats what a fanboy is. It's like you hurt their child or something. Seriously its a sat. provider. Who cares who leaves and stays. Everyone has a choice and needs to do whats best for them. Why should they stay with E* if its not convinient for them. This whole sch peel about how E* has...

    Cancelled Dish

    1. Don't think so. They have a great DVR but thats about it. As far as graphics goes I suppose thats a matter of opinion. Personally they are plain to me. I don't like them. 2. Oh yes those channels that now show the same 2 programs over and over and over again. Gotta love that Variety. I...

    HD PPV Transformers, PQ Poor

    Wow just wow. Film has grain and will always have grain. I'm going to tell you the same thing I tell people that don't like OAR in movies. If you don't like it then don't watch it. The director intended for the movie to looks this way and if you can't appreciate it then don't bother with it.

    Picture Breakup on HBO & SHO HD

    Saw a few break ups in dexter. Not surprised considering how bad SHO looks now.

    Will DISH EVER catch up in HD nationals AND PQ?

    Most of our channels are not "real HD." Did you forget that a lot of those D* channles E* has and they are in strecth-o-vision. You may want to wait and thats fine, but others don't. Fact is "Real HD" hasn't been around for some time now. The only "real HD" you will get will be from OTA channels...

    Comments Needed: DishONLINE Reviews

    This is by far the worst implementation of any sort of VOD I have ever seen! What the hell are they thinking!?!?! No free content and No HD and I have to wait for it to fully download before viewing. I have to give D* credit for doing their VOD right. Not only do they have free content and HD...

    First Look: DishONLINE

    I went through the menu on my receiver and for the life of me can't find any free content or HD. Am I missing something?

    Will Dish ever go full resolution HD?

    Isn't it also possible that the non-percieved difference betweem 720p and 1080i/p is also in your head? Seriously there is a difference on some displays it may not be as noticeable on others it is very noticeable. I easily noticed when E* lowered the res on HDNET and HDNET movies and a few days...

    Will Dish ever go full resolution HD?

    The resolution that the channel is actually in. For example let's use HDNET. Its resolution is 1920x1080 and should be presented at that resolution not 1440x1080 or 1280x1080 like E* and D* do. Understand now?

    How long will you wait for DISH to deliver before switching to DirectTV

    I just want my SCIFI-HD and better PQ.

    What's the REAL reason we don't have new HD just now?

    Very True and I have never understood why anyone would use that argument. I do agree though that the number of PPV can be brought down a bit to add these numbers. Also do we really need so many versions of Big Ten? I'm not a sports guys so I don't know nor care for it, which is why I am asking...

    How long will you wait for DISH to deliver before switching to DirectTV

    I second that! If I switch it will be based on who has the better PQ. Lets face it most of these new HD channels we won't watch. The more important factor should be Picture Quality and NOT the number of HD channels offered. I'm holding out for the month in hopes that I see the PQ restored to...
