    Anyone running Dish and Directv?

    I just posted in the other forum, the deals are huge.

    Anyone running Dish and Directv?

    Thanks Rad. The deals right now to bundle on ATT.com with my gigabit service are very good, I am going to pull the trigger, and if I decide to go to the HS17 Ill just do in late in the year, and prob just grab one from SS.

    Anyone running Dish and Directv?

    The dilemma is having to wait on the HS17, because summer season with no recordings is a great time to swap. Or, installing Direct and then paying upgrade later... Other issue is, I have had TERRIBLE luck with Directv launches, usually a buggy mess. I really like the Hopper 3, but the 1TB and...

    Anyone running Dish and Directv?

    That HS17 is pretty wild looking. Def has some DNA of my ATT Gigabit modem from the design look.

    Anyone running Dish and Directv?

    I left satellite awhile back because we finally got cable here and I wanted better internet, so I bundled. Fast forward we now have ATT Gigabit, so I have swapped to that for internet, which makes the mediacom wasteful and expensive. Was considering Directv bundle with a dvr and client, to...

    Question about Dish's VOD streaming/download

    I have noticed that too, which is why I asked. I thought some of the PPV stuff would actually stream in a way and not download, but I dunno. I watched an epi of GoT and Penny Dreadful last night and they looked great off VOD. As far as the OLED, every display type has at least one wart. Poor...

    Question about Dish's VOD streaming/download

    I remember a couple of years ago when Directv had an issue with the live version of their HBO (weird pulse in the compression noise) but not everyone saw the problem. They eventually fixed it but downloading the VOD of the episode was the way around it.

    Question about Dish's VOD streaming/download

    Lol, typical of you. Presented with some actual observed facts and then you come up with this lame ass response. It has nothing to do with enjoying the show, its about finding the best way to watch the show, especially since Dish ain't the king of PQ. My response would be, why are you wasting...

    Question about Dish's VOD streaming/download

    Another example is when they are on the mountain checking out the torched ram in episode 1. The download version has a sharper image IMO. I also do not see as much compression noise around edges, peoples face's etc... I think it is simply comparing something of a set file size, to something...

    Question about Dish's VOD streaming/download

    It is obvious here. These OLED's are not very forgiving when it comes dark scenes, near blacks, etc... when there is too much compression. Whereas my plasma, which dithered, did not show it like this. When comparing the recorded version vs the download, the scene at the castle with John lying in...

    Question about Dish's VOD streaming/download

    Considering about 18mbps speed (what was shown in Dish menu) and the fact it took about 16 minutes for one episode, that is about 2 gigs. According the Transfer Recordings menu I lose and gain about 2 gigs when I move one episode, but it is not really exact. I am little shocked it is only 2...

    Question about Dish's VOD streaming/download

    Thanks. Just figured it out when it ended, Im actually kicking myself for not trying this before. One of my gripes with the likes of Dish and HBO is the live PQ of stuff like GoT. The download version blows away the live tv version, and with my 25mbps service it comes pretty quick.

    Question about Dish's VOD streaming/download

    Ok, so I picked a program in HD, and it was added to the Rentals folder. When you go in and tab over the tile, it shows "streaming at "X" over to the right. Is it downloading the program to the HDD, or just showing you what speed you have when you want to start it?

    Tried that and it only kinda worked. My final solution was to start using my tivo to record OTA again...

    What Happened to the Dish Executive Team?

    Sometimes they get off shift and then when they come back they will answer, Other way is login in and chat, I have been able to do everything I need with one of those methods. If it is something you have to have right now, online and chat is the best move

    Dish AT200 vs AT250

    I know, and I was agreeing with you. Im 39, at my age $10 isn't going to stop me if there is a channel I want. On the other hand, I am not paying $10 for a package increase that pretty much sucks, and that for me is 200 to 250. 120 to 200 was well worth it. My problem with the premiums like...
