"millions of dollars"? -- Charlie has a net worth of $7 BILLION -- or $7,000 million if my math is right. He has to take a much bigger cut to get to a lower tax bracket. His pay is .011% of his net worth -- hardly even pocket change...

I've noticed that discrepancy too. Having been on both, it seems to me that D* has fewer issues than E* . One of the main reasons is E* has...Charlie. A lot of the discussions revolve around him and his actions...

Kinda like a budget version of E.I. I think it's great!

How true. When the money stops flowing in, you are no longer a "valued customer"...

Exactly! Just like the NHL Network, they have games available that are outside your RSN's coverage. The NHL Network has 3-5 games a week and I don't think any of them are their own production -- they are all RSN (or CBC) productions.

The Sabres are a small part of the MSG package. Now if you get the Rangers, Islanders and Devils along with whatever other pro sports teams that are on MSG, MAYBE somebody would listen, but probably not Charlie...

I did switch to D* after contacting E* and getting no offers beyond the basic. I didn't want to miss out on the $180 Costco deal either or the the discounted deals on D* packages. Turns out the only change was that the $5/12 month online discount disappeared. It's interesting, though, that D*...

I didn't leave Dish because I was upset about the bill -- I left because they took my package away. I will save about $300 over the next 2 years with Directv and it will cost me about $5/month more per month beginning in the third year. I didn't feel it was my responsibility to lead a...

Too bad most of us have already left...

I called to see what my options were with NHL CI before I made a decision on staying or leaving. Turns out I had no options -- if I wanted to see the CI programming (that I have fully paid for) for the balance of the season, I had to subscribe to a qualifying package. Of course I protested...

Isn't Dish raising their prices Feb 1? The $15 credit (rather than the current $10) would pretty much make it a wash...

I've pretty much decided to make the switch to Directv -- it's just a matter of timing. For my configuration, it works out to a $324 2-year savings (with the Costco $180 cash card included) to switch to Choice Ultimate rather than America's Top 250 + Platinum (assuming I would get a $10/month...

I stil don't get the $14 bill credit for months 13-24 Package & Programming build-up on the Directv web site. I can scroll over to the 13th month, but there is no line item under the $5 bill credit for months 1-12 as shown on the earlier example. What is the the $14 bill credit for months...

As usual, DISH has handled the cancellation in a totally unprofessional manner. The letter contains at least 2 typos and does not communicate how much monthly credit will be offered over the next 12 months. So instead of being an effective means of communication, this letter only muddies the...

Dish has a keen sense of timing. I just paid the last quarterly instalment of the NHL Center Ice package and the season is just reaching the end of the first half. If they had done this before October/2010 it would have been a lot easier to leave -- I think this move was strategically timed to...

MLB Network.

Good luck! But as you know, adjusting the Dish may reduce the pixelation events, but wil not affect the overall PQ. What do you mean by noise -- do you have interference in your picture? If so, I would strongly suspect connections.

Perhaps your personal memory is the culprit. It is very difficult to compare PQ unless you have side by side comparisons. If you were able to compare your PQ on side by side tv's using a 722 and a 612, you may be able to determine if the PQ is better using one or the other of the receivers...

The games from Washington, Dallas, Colorado and San Jose were all televised on CI. The Atlanta game was not broadcast according to ESPN. The NHL network kept giving us "live look-ins" for the Atlanta and Buffalo games from the teletron, so they claimed. So apparently the Buffalo game wasn't...

This game is broadcast by MSGB (Buffalo) according to ESPN.com, but is not on CI tonight. I know Dish has been in dispute (for years?) with MSG, but we have still always gotten the MSG broadcasts on CI, albeit always in crappy SD. So, is MSGB part of MSG? Is this a problem with CI or Dish...

That's already happened. Sometimes Charlie gives lip service to sports on Dish like when he had the full page ads for NFL red zone. But he doesn't follow through with RSN's -- he has already conceded sports to Direct...

Well, unfortunately Dish has far fewer CI games in HD than D* -- probably half as many. Starting with MSG (NY Rangers, NY Islanders, Buffalo Sabres and NJ Devils) and Comcast (at least SJ Sharks -- I'm not sure how many other Comcast RSN's are affected) -- these home team broadcasts are never...

I have a 622 and it has slowed noticeably. I thought it was the remote and I changed batteries, but performance is still slow.

I was speaking in general about Charlies's constant fights with the RSN's. The MSG reference was in connection with hockey. His dispute with them has shut out Buffalo, New York and I believe New Jersey from their 4 hockey teams. I don't know which RSN's Charlie was in dispute with (besides...

Yes, it will take a major concession on the part of MLB to get Charlie to join and taking away the EI requirement should be enough to do it. However, Charlie often marches to a different drummer, so who knows...
