    Blockbuster to close all 300 remaining stores and distribution centers by end of December 2013 or ea

    Times are a changing' in the rental industry .. Honestly BB would have been gone a lot sooner if it wasn't for Dish propping it up for this period of time. (I know here in Columbus MOST of the BB's closed around the time Dish was getting ready to take over) .. In fact they bulldozed a few of...

    DISH introduces new Business Package with ESPN

    It's quite popular to do so... one of the wing joints I frequently visit has their HD TV's hooked up via Composite cables to DirecTV boxes.

    Outage due to sun

    As a kid I was always amused by the sun fade each year.. Would watch the good o' analog C-Band signals on cable fade to static then eventually the cable company would put up a cheesy slide with a "sun" on it explaining the issue.

    Need Disney HD to switch

    My guess is not IF they make up but WHEN.. all programmers want their programming in as many eyes as possible.. It's realistically only a matter of time before ABC/Disney and Dish become 'pals' again.

    Starz outage.

    Can't blame dish on this one.. It was an issue with Starzz itself.. also was out on AT&T UVerse.

    Tropical Storm News channel

    Was watching WWL at work earlier here in OH (My employer has a DirectTV Commercial account) and we get the "Isaac Channel" While WWL Streams their news online it was cool seeing it on the tv... Surprised Charlie isn't doing something like this.. Guess he doesn't want to pay someone to sit...

    Setting up large Scale system for apartments

    You could always look at someone like these guys: Better Cable TV with NeX3! They recently started offering Dish at my apartment complex I live in.. They have 3 dishes mounted on / near each building.. and I think use a QAM type setup in the dish receivers (I am not sure which model they use)...

    Echostar Shutting Down U.S. Cable Set-Top Unit

    Could be worse... I'd take a Cisco/SA or Moto box over the Piece of Junk PACE DVR that my local cable company "Insight" has.. It does only two tuners and the DVR function menus are ugly and a pain to navigate (You can view recordings by channel, by date, by title) that's it.. and their not...

    How do Dish decide what ARC you're on.

    I think part of it depends on where your locals are. (If their offering your local channels)

    Customer service going down hill

    Sure that's 100% true for all thier US centers? I know folks who work at a Dish owned center and they are drug tested and background checked prior to hire.

    This is why I HATE to call Dish about ANYTHING!

    WOW.. You'd think PNC would do things right (I hear a lot about this because I live in Ohio myself) ... From what I hear arn't they giving former Nat City customers all new account #s? Luckly (well not really) I have Chase which was Bank One and they seemed to have done things smoothly when...

    Ohio News Network

    yea they rebroadcast the WBNS Noon news at 1pm EST, I think the Cleveland news at 1:30pm and the local Cinci stations news at 2pm. (the stations local news they rebroadcast are their "partner" stations in those locations... They repeat the WBNS news at 2:30, the Cleveland stations news at...

    Ohio News Network

    Yea last time I saw them when I had cable they had a few commericals they also had started to run informericals too... The news they air is also repeated multiple times. They don't do as much live news as they did when they first launched the network.

    Ohio News Network

    One thing with the move to ATSC television (HD TV) I am suprised Dispatch didn't consider putting ONN on an sub channel of WBNS-DT. (currently they have a weather channel from accuweather on 10.2). I would think they could also work with their partner stations in Cinci and Cleveland and...

    Ohio News Network

    Don't expect E* or D* to have ONN any time soon.. ONN put up a big stink when Time Warner refused to add it many years ago and add it to the analog line up, Wolfe family actually pulled WBNS off Time Warner for a bit due to the refusal to give into their demands, anyways Time Warner added it...
