I had just HBO and Showtime so it was $6 No package + $6 DVR + $24 for HBO+SHO. I'm thinking I'll wait until the OTA networks go into summer reruns. Thanks again

Thanks for the info guys. Looks like its about $9 more a month than I used to pay. The package is of no value to me without HD. Is there any chance there is an international package for less than $15? I thought you used to be able to add premiums to those. Thanks again for the info.

Is it possible to get the welcome pack without locals and save $5? I closed my dishnetwork account about 18 months ago. I have an owned 622 and used to subscribe to HBO and Showtime only. I was considering reactivating and am curious as to the cheapest route to HBO. The welcome pack isn't...

can you watch stuff you have already recorded?

I checked it again today and now I can uncheck the box so I think I am getting charged now. I couldn't complete the order to remove it, it said I already made a change in the last 12 months. I used the phone system to remove and got dinged $5, can't complain about two years for $5.02

I got a letter a month ago saying it would drop off this month on its own and I could add it back. Today I got a letter saying my promotion would end next month and I would have to call and have it removed or else pay regular price. On my bill: and I was charge a penny on 12/10 If I...

A local channel here has been running an ad for it, so check your locals.

I got a letter saying it would drop off next month, if I remember right I added it towards the end of December. Mine has said that for a while now

You have to buy a filter that filters out a couple channels above and below the channel you are trying to modulate on. Channels that look like all snow are probably carrying a digital signal. You also have to be sure you are not feeding back into the cable system, if you do and it causes...

Tivo has tick marks every 15 minutes that you can jump to

That is irrelevant because nothing is lost while waiting, the difference in price is worth it to you or it isn't.

mpeg4 is coming to OTA for their mobile tv standard. They could also leave a single 480i mpeg2 stream for the converter box and put everything else in mpeg4 but it wouldn't happen unless mpeg4 becomes mandated like atsc tuners did. 1440x1080i is not part of the ATSC spec, I'd be interested...

If your cable company is only doing two HD channels per QAM then they probably are retransmitting the mpeg2 as received from their big dish. The only channel I am aware of that they can't do this with is HBO because HBO distributes in MPEG4 and few MPEG4 cable boxes have been deployed so they...

Most people can receive OTA signals for free, so for them pay tv is a luxury. There is nothing wrong with paying for tv if you want the additional content. People are so used to paying for TV they have forgotten about OTA so articles like these turn up every couple months about this mysterious...

The FCC requires 12 hours for full power stations, I think the spec supports up to 14 days and the most I've ever seen is 3 days from the ION station.

Tribune runs http://tvlistings.com/ , you can use that site to find out what Tribune has for your area.

Tivo does not use the PSIP guide either. I picked up a Tivo years ago for OTA because of Dish's half ass OTA guide data. Tivo has guide data for all the full power stations including sub channels and most of the low power digitals that sprung up after the transition. Not to say they have been...

No, they are the same channels

Not for me, none of the channels missing from absolute are worth paying extra for to me.

They should put it in the Showtime package since that is where those movies used to be.

Price is the same, you just keep more of the channels already in absolute.

The problem wasn't TVX-SD and TVX-HD being in Turbo, that is already the case with channels like Comedy Central where both SD and HD are included. The problem was if you want to carry TVX in a package you also have to include TVY even though TVY does not have an HD channel.

Since they removed the extra charge for platinum the turbo packs didn't seem very appealing anyway. Turbo Bronze with Platinum was $40 and Classic Bronze with HD and Platinum is $45 with Turbo having fewer HD channels. Seems like Dish thought Turbo would be the future since they renamed the SD...
