    A&E HD - Low Signal - TP27 on 129

    It is pro rated based on how long you had the service before cancelling. I believe the full amount is $250, but I could be mistaken there. My fee was actually $162, I had paid $20 of it and had planned on paying $20 a month until it was payed off. Before I could do that they sent me to...

    A&E HD - Low Signal - TP27 on 129

    I cant believe how many problems DISH is having with that 129, and that they are moving forward with more HD channels that will rely on that broken down piece of crap. To me its to the point where a class action lawsuit is in order. They have people paying top $$$ for all their HD, and their...

    Would Losing Distant Nets Cause You to Switch to DirecTV?

    I would not switch to Directv if they were the last HD provider on Earth, regardless of any circumstances.. I would rather have nothing than have Directv.

    NBA HD Channel 9466

    As far as I can remember Dish didnt show one single NBA TV HD game on channel 9466 last year until the playoffs started.. The channel was shown in the guide all season if I remember right, but no games..

    Super reply from dish network

    Is there a contest for most useless thread at the end of the year? Well if there is I nominate this thread... Theres no information worth even discussing in that reply..Let alone calling it a super reply.. Its just a standard E* canned response with nothing but excuses and deceit..

    Hdnet PQ back?

    Not trying to defend Dish here, but Enterprise is some really bad source material from waht Ive seen on my full bandwith and rezz and cable service.. Enterprise is not going to look like outstanding HD no matter who the provider is, IMO...Bad source material..

    Voomer Coming Back Into the Fold...

    You are right that resolution dosent mean everything..Bit rate and the quality of the original source material are both very important also.. I would not say that resolution means nothing though... Yes I did state the Voom channels still look outstanding at HDLite resolutions..But if they...

    Voomer Coming Back Into the Fold...

    This guy does make one valid point.. The 30 day guarantee is a great thing...Check out DISH, if you like it keep it, if not cancel it.. I would not consider giving even a small amount of merit to his other comments regarding DISH HD quality though..The quality is in general marginal, but...

    Welcome to the world of broadcast HD in 2006! And welcome to the one of the biggest consumer rip offs to hit the shelves in decades, HDTV! :D :D Watch and enjoy as it gets worse and worse over the next few years!! I know it wont help in regards to live sports, but can anyone say HD...

    Satellite 129 signal strength increase?

    The signal strength on that satt fluctuates wildly all the time..Check your signals every 10 minutes for a couple hours..You will see some large variances in signal strength..

    How Easy is it To Change your Service Address?

    The HD LIL's on the 110 satt are all spot beams..Other than that everything is conus..

    How Easy is it To Change your Service Address?

    Yes, you can get Atlanta HD locals if you move your service address to Atlanta.. Depending on where you live you could have problems seeing the 129 satt though.. East Coast and Pacific NW I believe are the problem areas for 129..

    How Easy is it To Change your Service Address?

    You can only do it by calling.. And you would need a new dish if you move for Detroit HD locals..

    How Easy is it To Change your Service Address?

    Detroit is not on a spotbeam, its conus (nationwide).. One would need to install a Dish 1000 PLUS to get Detroit HD locals though.. This is the new Dish 1000 that points at 4 orbital locations..

    HD channels look terrible

    I would say that the better HDMI cable issue is up for debate.. The HDMI cable that came with my HDDVD player certainly made me a believer in better HDMI cables. It was noticeably bad when compared to a better quality cable.. Im not talking about $300 cables though, Im talking about a quality...

    HD channels look terrible

    You may be able to get a small improvment from a better quality HDMI cable.. I know of a website with quality cables at low prices, but Im not sure if posting is allowed here..PM me if you want.. Either way, you are still going to see the classic Dish net problems on most channels, IMO...

    HD channels look terrible

    You will be calling for a very long time..:) I doubt theres any truth to all HD channels moving to 110 either..Even if they did, there would still be bandwith issues..The only improvment would be in the strength of the signal, which will be nice when it rains, but it wont do anything for the...

    HD channels look terrible

    :D Everything is definately not going to look the same on every TV, thats for sure.. On most 720p sets and Direct View CRT's, or most smaller size displays in general Dish Network looks like the best thing since sliced bread.. When one hooks Dish Network up to a quality HD set, one...

    HD channels look terrible

    Give us all a break..LOL The guy owns an HL-S5088W, I bet he knows how to hook the darn thing up.. OP, you are looking at Dish Network, plain and simple.. They have a couple channels that are high quality HD and thats it.. , The rest is down rezzed bit starved garbage, and your high...

    HD channels look terrible

    Buy an HD DVD player if you want to see what real HD looks like.. Or if you think your friends HD setup looks so much better than yours find out who their provider is and switch..Do they possibly have a cable service that isnt compressing the signal? Not likely, but its a thought.. Other than...

    D* comments on E*'s HD offerings

    He should have specifically questioned the guy about all their 1080i channels being in 1280x1080 format.. What a worthless interview with such poorly thought out questions..I wouldnt expect anything less from Swanni the puppet..
