    622 OTA Breakup Caused by CELLPHONE!

    If its a nextel, they have huge issues with interfering with anything electronic. Whenever data is transmitted it will interfere (e.g. speakers, radios, telivisions, and computer monitors.)

    model 625 killed my tv?

    Does anyone know if there is a certain type of soldering gun you need? Will the shaft type work, or do you need the gun type? My 32" Samsung has had this problem for about 2 years, it was my own fault though. I put my center channel speakers on top of my television and Joila instant rainbow...

    Dish HD how are you watching the Superbowl today?

    I'm a dish sub just not dish HD. I have no use for any of their HD channels. They just don't appeal to me. And I'm not going to pay for something I can get for free over the air, especially when the quality over the air is ten times better than if I paid for it.

    Dish HD how are you watching the Superbowl today?

    I voted in HD from non-Dish source, however it's not cable, bar, friends. or anything listed. It's my Voom receiver. I refuse to pay dish's prices for their HD DVR.

    I think we need to loby Charlie to have more channels with info-mertials, god knows there isn't enough of those crap holes.

    HD Using Indoor Antenna

    If you have an integrated tuner which you do, you don't need any hookups for video. It's built in and hard wired so therefore no hookups. For sound though what you want to look for on the back of your tv is either digital coax or toslink, those are your dolby digital surround outputs, that would...

    HD vs. HDlite

    Well, I'm not a videophile either, however one thing I do know is if you have a 1080p set. Anything less than 1080p will look like crap. In order to have a good crisp picture you must watch programming in your native resolution. I think most of the problem with the pq is that it is not a 16:9...

    In a Search for the Definition of HD..

    Now if your going to compare like that you need to be fair. 1280x720x30 = 27,648,000 That is still an HD format.

    NBC Wrong Size

    If it's just a Toshiba thing. Then why does my neighbor with a Mitsubishi widescreen see the same thing as me. Also a co-worker with a 42" Sony Widescreen same problem. My aunt 55" Sony Same problem. I don't think its a Toshiba thing. I'm not going to be rude and belittle you. But I never...

    NBC Wrong Size

    I don't think its the tv. I am seeing the same thing. It's only on NBC. I have four widescreen settings and not one of them will show the whole picture. I believe it is a problem with the national feed. I noticed this a while back while watching ER, I noticed that you only get a partial view of...

    16:9 output on a 625 reciever??

    If this is true, then why is it that I have my DVD player set to widescreen output, and whenever I play a movie that is anamorphic it always letterboxes. And I have to stretch the picture anyway. Now if I rent or purchase a move that says just widescreen or enhanced for 16X9 televisions, it...

    FNC large subscriber cost increase

    I know this is a moot point. I don't drink alcohol but one thing I don't agree with is banning the sale of alcohol on sunday. Here in Indiana it is illegal to sell alcohol on Sunday unless your establishment also sells a certain percentage cooked food. Now if you can give me just one reason...

    FNC large subscriber cost increase

    I could do without any of them. I'm sick of all these news channels jumping on the bandwagon so to speak. I haven't turned on any of the news channels since the Bagdad fiasco. I swear if I would have heard one more person say shock and awe I would have purchased a gun and killed someone.

    Post mount dish installation

    Why not? Are you saying concrete isn't a conductor? If it's not a conductor explain this one to me. I have an electric fence to keep my cats and dogs in my yard. If I go up to the fence and touch it while standing on my concrete driveway, I don't get shocked. If I take my shoes off and touch...

    522 tv2 remote problems - new twist?

    When I was having issues with mine. I used a splitter in reverse, sent the remote antenna through the coax to where the tv2 is at, used another splitter and attached the antenna to that and I have not had a problem since. I know that is not the proper way to do it. But I didn't want to spend the...

    Will Dish ever have LOGO?

    If my memory serves me correctly, Bravo used to be geared towards gay and lesbians. Then they started airing better programming and got the rest of the population. And they went mainstream. Who's to say that Logo won't do the same. Once they start to get viewers they'll start brainstorming to...

    Post mount dish installation

    ok that makes a little more sense, however I was taught in electonics that you always want to have the shortest ground possible. So why not ground it to the pole? 1ft ground -vs- 75ft ground. Now another question. Does grounding the coax ground the dish? I would think not. although the coax...

    Post mount dish installation

    I don't want to start some big argument here, but I really don't understand the point of grounding a dish at the house when it is mounted on a pole buried 4ft in the ground. When lightning strikes it is seeking out a ground. Almost always it strikes the ground itself, which tells me that is a...

    OLN Dropped by Dish over Programming Disputes

    I was (keyword being "was") a diehard hockey fan. They left a bad taste in my mouth after last year and I could care less if the NHL dies a slow painful death. Just my opinion.

    OLN Dropped by Dish over Programming Disputes

    I'm not trying to take cheap shots at anyone, I just can't believe what a big deal people are making out of losing one lousy channel. And I do actually mean lousy. It would be different if it was a main stream channel like I don't know ESPN or something like that. And I know not everybody...

    OLN Dropped by Dish over Programming Disputes

    sorry, I was being a little fasecious when I said that. I know not everyone has unlimited funds. It just seems that everyone who likes to watch bull riding 24 hours a day wants to keep their channel and are threatening to leave E*, if they don't keep it. Oh wait I better include bicycle...
