It's his house! I'd never leave an installer alone ANYWHERE. I don't know him/her therefore I do not trust them. They can steal, leave the job half-assed. Add to that that there are certain things he is not allowed to fiddle with. No installer has ever hooked up my receivers, just wired up the...

Doesn't help me either. Looks like 23 RSN + 4 national HD = 27 So it looks like we will get 3 additional PPV channels. Nothing to be excited about really. I was hoping for something more than RSN, but the sports fans should be happy.

Well good for you, I hope you enjoy Dish. I did not and thankfully I wasn't in contract when I cancelled. The installer was a *&**, but i expect that from pretty much all installers these places send out. At first the service was nice, some channels were actually HD and weren't down-rezzed. Then...

Doesn't ChillerHD launch this month?

Ya know somehow i think telling someone their reasoning is stupid is against forum rules. As far as the OT goes as many have stated you need more cables run... you may get lucky and if you ask the installer he will put in the switch. You will still need to run the four wires though. Depending...

Actually those channels you mentioned I would not demo. The image is very soft on most of the programming and most of the time there is upconverts running in stretch-o-vision which could confuse him. His best bet would be the premium movie channels if he has them.

Actually EVERYONE compresses. Mpeg-2 which is what you get with OTA is also compressed though not as heavily as D* or E*. Usually with OTA you get 15-19 Mbps and with a highly compressed signal you are lucky if you get 11 Mbps. You must also take into account that the provider may also be...

I've watched a lot of movies from HDNet and MGMHD as well. The Vincent price marathon was amazing.

I have a 12mbps connection and have none of the problems you are referring to. Are you aware that you can watch the problem as it downloads? Also be aware that if you are on a network that 1.5mbps is shared by everyone. So lets say you are downloading some VOD and someone else uses the...

It said the same thing for me, but when it shows up on your list of services. You know where it shows your package with price and services each with their price it shows up as 0.00 where it use to show 5.99.

It has been out for the HR-20 for a while. The only difference is that with this new Staggered release its active on the HR-21. It's been posted before already already and they even have instructions on how to activate it on the 21 as a sticky. :D

Wow I've never had an installer like that unless they were a custom installer, but nothing from E* or D* like that. I usually have to fight with them to get something done on time.

Which device do you turn on first? Ie. Do you switch to HDMI on the TV then turn the D* receiver on or vice versa. It could be a handshake issue.

Why did you let the installer leave without verifying the installation? Did you sign the work order? I had an E* installer try to pull this crap on me when they brought me a defective 622. They said I had to wait till tomorrow for a new one. I then undo all the work you did and take...

I believe it does not for the first year since you are under a promotion. I could be wrong though. Someone with more knowledge can confirm this. Also didn't premier package go up $5?

I hope its not SciFi. Wrestling has no place on a scifi channel.

Your missing a very large piece of the puzzle here. Those SD tubes were designed to take 480i. Thats 480 lines of resolution max! What you were feeding it varied from 300-480 depending on the source so the TV will look great when its receiving close to its max res. Now you have HDTV with a...

Oh I was expecting OTA to win. However, I was expecting it to be by less of a margin. When Mpeg-4 launched I read on forums how people said they could barely tell a difference from their OTA locals and the D* ones. I can't speak for the other markets, but at least in Miami you can easily tell a...

Your wrong, you don't think IT IS WORSE! When Mpeg-4 came to E* I regretted getting them. Now I'm back with D* and am happy. Though I like the Dish DVR better. As far as D* HD Quality. It looks great to me. You should check the channel you are watching and make sure it is an MPEG-4. Some...

Well I also have/had Dish and now have Directv again. I spent yesterday doing comparisons between D*, E*, and OTA. StarzHD - For those who had E* when this channel launched you know that it looked super soft and had a motion blur type issue. The issues were fixed but the channel looked soft...

Is this at all possible with the D* DVR: Can I record two sat. programs and the same time and record an OTA program all at once? My Dish DVR currently allows me to do this and I am thinking of switch to D* because I hear the PQ on HD is better.
