    Completely Confused- C-band? Ku band?

    6' is a bit small but there are a few guys using them, go to the c-band or free to air section of the forum.

    Encore theme channels

    From my knowledge its only the new HD channels that will be using H.264 dvb-s2, the website has not changed names, mite be your provider doing this, or Starz will be changing names I guess we will have to wait and see. The dvb-s2 distribution is on Galaxy-13 transponder 7 Galaxy 13/Horizons 1...

    Comcast vs satellite

    Cable will always be better in a well setup area, mini dish may look ok at first then they will add more channels and well... Basically history will repeat itself :)

    Comcast vs satellite

    Mini dish has always had bad picture and sound quality, a better comparison would be between Comcast and FiOS, I do know many have said the 4dtv sound quality was much better than Comcast, I wonder how FiOS sound is?

    Is there a cheaper alternative?

    On this page http://www.programming-center.net/WebForm1.aspx?AD=D look at the below packages DISC_SUITE_KU07 SCIFI-DIG_2007 With a used 905 and a 90cm dish you can sub to small packages or to a la carte, no basic pack or anything like that, but since you don't have a 10' dish you will...

    Is there a cheaper alternative?

    For locals use the rabbit ears, for the other channels get a 4dtv 905 off of ebay cheap, look around for a 90cm dish and then I am sure you can sub to the ku-band channels here http://www.programming-center.net/WebForm1.aspx?AD=D The DISC_SUITE_KU07 will work, you will not get the offical...

    FIOS HD Quality

    I was never able to watch pizza dish SD or HD on my tv, anyone who can get FIOS and like great PQ they should get it asap, leave the over compressed pizza programming for people that like to get washed out when it rains :)

    How much do you pay for cable/sat a month? (or who has the biggest cable bill)

    I got Starz Encore for the year last year for $110.00 I got HBO/Max for 233.19 a year. I got Show/Flix/TMC/Sun for 158.99 for the year So I'm at $41.85 a month, I never have been over $40 but am now, find it a bit much just for tv.

    What is your primary source for TV?

    I have 4dtv and I guess my providers are NPS and SRL, many people have cable and mini dish, or cable and big dish or all the services.

    A 25 year personal history rant

    If you still have the big dish you should get a 4dtv and if you want a HDD 200 for a few HD channels, you can slave a dvb receiver to the 4dtv easy and get many free channels that may interest you, also you can wait a few months and there should be some very nice dvb HD receivers coming out for...

    What is your primary source for TV?

    I have a big dish with 4dtv and dvb (FTA) I use my 4dtv to get my movie channels and boxing and I use my Pansat for other programming. I tried all other salellite systems Dish, Bell, DTV and Star choice I never really liked them, most channels have crap picture and the sound is poor, and I...

    DISH vs 4DTV

    The 4dtv dsr 922 (recomended) will control the dish, if the dish moves then basically all you need is the 4dtv, grab it hook it up sub to a few channels and then you can start getting stuff for hd and c/ku if you don't have that already, and a dvb receiver. There are no contracts with 4dtv...

    DISH vs 4DTV

    There are many dvb free to air channels, there are also a few DCII free channels, you will not get any movie channels or ppv with free to air, you will most probably find a few channels that will interest you. I have had a big dish for over 20 years, I tried all the small dishes but dumped...

    DISH vs 4DTV

    I would go 4dtv, thing is for HD you will need a HDD 200, the 4dtv makes it easy to use, there are some people that just hate to wait 3-15 seconds or more depending what satellite you are going to. 4dtv HD has the best picture quality and the SD master feeds make mini dish look like crap...

    i am 20+ years out of date

    I find there are many English channels on C-band, and the fact that with a big dish you can get both c/ku you will have best of both worlds, also 4dtv is a great option for the subscrption channels. If you are looking for subscription programming you will most likely want a 4dtv, the...

    FiOS TV...the VOOMless HD Leader?

    FOIS is the the bomb, they can add tons of HD, I am glad they finally added enough to beat Dish, the poor HD quality of the pizza dish systems will never compair to FIOS.

    100+ HD channels?

    Unless there new set top boxes will be HDMI out only, what I quoted from you above does not really matter, I record digital just fine with my old vcr.

    100+ HD channels?

    You already have HD on the current cable, and when everybody finally upgrades to a digital cable set top box, then they do not need analog anymore, not everyone will upgrade but when the majority does cable co's will not have a large amount to convert free or for a small upgrade charge...
