    OK I am about to cancel Dish, what do I need to know

    I have called them twice to verify that I am under no committment to them, I verified that the equipment I have (508 and 811) are mine and that I have a 301 that is theirs from my initial contract. They said that the dishes and switches are mine as well. When do I need to cancel? I am going...

    Some Sirius Channels MIA?

    According to Howard Stern's website, his channel will not be a premium channel just part of the normal package. I think this is also the case with Shade 45. Found this on the Sirius website: "Shade 45 will feature a full lineup of on-air hosts and mixers, including Eminem's DJ, Green...

    Anyone else experience this?

    Here are some pics from last night OK, I was watching MNF again OTA and the boxes came back. If I changed channels to watch something on the satellite the boxes remained, but they only appear when I am watching OTA, I have only seen it start on MNF though. When the banner on top of the screen...

    Anyone else experience this?

    Everything CC wise is OFF, I even turned it on to make sure. Saw the words on the screen and turned it back off. It is also turned off on the TV as well. Watched some OTA tonight hasn't happened yet, but camera is on stand by.

    Anyone else experience this?

    I'll check it although I am positive that it isn't closed captioning. I mean I can't even read the stuff when I am at the TV. WAY too small. Probably not even a .25 of an inch.

    Anyone else experience this?

    It doesn't look like closed captioning but kind of DOS lettering. VERY tiny. I'll leave it on OTA tonight and try to get a pic.

    Anyone else experience this?

    I have been watching MNF OTA the past few weeks and everytime I watch it for a while I get this small black box that has some lettering in it, placed on the upper left hand corner of the screen. Looks like code of somekind. I can hit the info button on the remote and it goes away until the...

    What's up with ESPN?

    Just turned it on to catch some college football and I get the Yankees vs. O's from Comcast Sports. I turn it to ESPNHD and the normal ESPN telecast is on. There was a banner on the screen saying to watch the football game turn to 146. Just wondering. Kind of strange.

    2.80 dramatically hurt my HD PQ

    Maybe is in my head but I think my SD actually got a little better with 2.80 and my HD looks just as good as before.

    commercials during live olympic coverage

    Today's game was live. I didn't have any cut aways that I noticed. It is depressing, ONLY if we could shoot the ball. The only team that has a worse three point percentage than us is the Russian WOMEN'S team. :(

    Optical Cable splitter?

    I bought a splitter off of ebay and it worked for about a week then I could not get audio from my 811, I swapped cables and everything. I bought a switch from Radio Shack (less than $20) and have been happy since. It takes about two seconds to switch it.

    $1,000 Dish HD Package

    I was thinking of doing the same thing, I spent a few hundred more for a 34 inch Phillips and I love it. HD is awesome with it. Also I was turned off by the dish deal because I heard it was only good with Dish so if you canceled your service it wouldn't work with what you moved to.

    PQ on HDTV with non HDTV programming

    No I did not. I tried it many different ways, hooked directly to the TV thorugh RCA then I tried the S-Video Route and got the same thing, hooked through the 811 and this way it looked REALLY REALLY bad. It doesn't really matter now, it wasn't practical for us anyway to have two receivers on...

    PQ on HDTV with non HDTV programming

    I tried using my 508 with my HD set and to be honest it looked REAL crappy, tried RCA, S-Video and it didn't matter. So I use the 811 for everything on my HD set and like I stated above, it looks great, my SD content looks way better than it did with my 508. We moved the 508 to our back...
