    Annual Superbowl HD survey---HD or SD?

    HD all the way.....and that was a great start to the game!!! It looks very good in HD. I really don't care who wins, but I would like my numbers to come out. By the way....CBSHD via Directv. A couple of audio dropouts before the game, but the audio has been fine since kickoff

    It's Official : Extra Innings Package and 24-Hour Channel Headed Exclusively to Direc

    Wow....this would be a bad move by baseball. I think that if you look at the big picture, the more people that have access to the games the more cash flow you will generate. Alot of times the cash wins out. This is a really bad move.

    Cinemax & TMC HD

    I remember that even in the good old days of VOOM StarzHD was nothing to go crazy about. Alot of upconverts and all. I am disappointed in what VOOm has become. I ended up cancelling because I found myself never watching any of the programming. I have never seen the PQ from CinemaxHD on any...

    My 811 Receiver Worth?

    Hello guys. I just cancelled my HD service from Dish and I was going to put my 811 receiver up on ebay. I searched it on ebay and the 811 is still being sold for about $70-$120. Is Dishnet even activating these receivers anymore? What the heck are people buying it for? Also, I have a OTA antenna...

    FIOS or DISH -- Which should I choose?

    My opinion exactly. I have had Dish HD pack alone for about 7 months now and I am really tired of the VOOM ch's. I can honestly say I haven't watched any VOOM ch except for MonstersHD for about three mths. I want to see HD that blows my socks off.....with the highest PQ. WHen Fios comes to my...

    How large is the Pirate/Hack market?

    You know what gets me.....they said that Directv lost millions upon millions every year to the hacking that was done in the past. Now that they have put an end to the hacking, you would think that the savings could now be pasted onto the customers. No savings here!!! It reminds me of the car...

    August - the Month of new HD?????

    I second that. I don't understand why FOOD CH has an HD ch. I understand that people say ..."any HD is good HD". I can't understand why this ch even exsists. To me it's a waste for the owners of the ch and a waste of bandwidth. Just my opinion.

    Previous VOOM lineup

    Good point.....so a good question would be to ask Dish why they haven't offered these ch's to their customers. It really would bring in more cash....I remember watching StarzHD alot. I also remember alot of upcoverted movies.

    Food Channel coming in HD in June

    Is it just me? This ch does not excite me at all.

    SportsNet New York, Now Available!

    It's great that Dish has added this ch for NY Met fans and baseball fans in NY. I'm a Yankee fan and occasionally will take in a Met game. Dish Network not having YES on in NY is a very big oversight on their part. I would never pay for a provider that was not giving me access to a huge team in...

    DP vs Legacy ?

    I'm a legacy fan myself. I also share lnb's so I could have both dish and direct. You can't do that with DishPro. To me that is a huge advantage of having Leg over Pro.

    Bad News For Hackers

    100% correct....it is the same compression technology. The only point I was originally trying to make is that when everything goes M4, the FTA business will be booming big time. Dish either has to secure their ch's somehow...or start buying stock in the FTA business.

    Any new info on INHD?

    I haven't had INHD but sometimes when I'm looking for stuff to watch I see that they have The Twilght Zone on ....I guess they are broadcasting the new episodes? Either way I would like to watch some baseball and other special events like concerts that they have on. I have had HDNET for a number...

    MPEG4 current channels

    This lineup is not enough for me to bother switching from my 811.

    Bad News For Hackers

    I'm sorry ....I meant to say everything that is Mpeg 4 is secure.....the new HD ch's. Problem is that these FTA units are legal. Directv really had no units like FTA to deal with. It's a much bigger problem for Dish right now than it was for directv.

    Bad News For Hackers

    I agree...it is out of control. But ......Dish has to make a decision on what they really want to do here. To me the bottom line is sub numbers. They do have alot of subs and they continue to grow. Their HD is secure...at least for now. I guess the question is ....is it worth it for Dish to...

    Bad News For Hackers

    Just a thought here.....when dish moves to Mpeg 4 for every ch, the FTA machines that are out now will not be able to receive the ch's that are M4. If Dish doesn't move fast to somehow secure their sig at the point of the transfer to M4, what will end up happening is the FTA companies will make...

    Universal HD - Gone Next Week?

    Well, I like having the extra HD ch....more HD is always a good thing. But there is not enough on the ch for me to cry over not having it. It's a plus right now but I still wish they had some good programing on the ch. In my opinion the ch has always been a disappointment....before and after the...

    Dish HD only

    Everything after feb 1st changed when it comes to getting the HD pack alone and the pricing for a customer that wants to order just the HD pack. I for one am happy I jumped in around December so I could get the HD pack for 20 bucks a mth. I remember they gave me a hard time singing up for just...

    Radio Shack closing up to 700 stores.

    Good point Iceberg. No question that some of their items are way overpriced. I recently went to RS to buy a extender for a USB port.....it was 24.99. I bought it but then went home and went on ebay and saw the same wire for 3.99 with 2 bucks shipping. So, I went back to RS and returned it. The...

    Stand-Alone HD Package?

    Yes.....BFG is correct....Dish won't let you lease a M4 HD receiver without subbing to a qualified programming pack. HD only pack does not qualify for the lease option.
