    What happened to DBSForums?

    I hope that they take Scott up on his offer to host the site. I can understand Dan's reluctance to move his site over here (afraid of losing control and independance) but Scott is an honorable man, said he would not interfere, and I believe him. Certainly this would be better than having the...

    What happened to DBSForums?

    Does anyone know what happened to DBSForums, the grandfather of all satellite TV forums? I have not been able to connect to that forum in weeks.

    G4TechTv Changes Name, Logo, Lineup

    I used to watch ZDTV/TechTV a lot. Then they got rid of their best people and changed their focus to teenaged gamers. The station is so bad that I can not watch it for more than about 30 seconds before I have to change the channel. I tried to watch the new screensavers and I could not believe...

    PQ Question

    DirectTV has the same problems with PQ. In my opinion, there really isn't that much difference at all. They are both trying to cram too many channels into the available bandwidth. When I compared the 2 providers, depending on what day it was, some channels looked slightly better on E*, and...

    Phone Line Policy

    I have had Dish Network for many years now; E* was only in existence for a few months before I got my first satellite dish. I have NEVER had any of my receivers connected to a phone line, and I have never run into any problems at all. I think Stargazer is right. When none said "Dish is...
