Which of the following channels would you like to see added as a west coast feed?

I say none, thats what PVRs are for. I'd rather see money put into HDTV or better picture quality rather than another channel. That said, living on the left coast, I know why Z'Loth is asking. It sucks to have some shows on at 6pm when I'm just getting back from work. I don't know what I'd do without my DirecTiVo...

This would be a great way to surpass digital cable. The only reason I don't switch now is the distant locals that I'm getting.

:rant: Only on the west coast....

Cartoon Network has been running an Anime series called "G Gundam". It was running one episode at 2 PM, but because they run "off-schedule", I had my timer set up from 1:57 until 2:35. Then, near the end, without announcement, they began two-episodes before pulling the series off air last week, causing me to miss a whole bunch of episodes.

They are now running the series during the midnight run, which, for b0th Dish and DirecTV, is 9 PM PT. Gee, guess what runs at 9 PT that I watch? Monday-CSI:Miami*, Tuesday-24, Wednesday-Junkyard Wars, Thursday-tail end of CSI*. G Gundam doesn't air on Fridays.

Sigh..... :bang:

* CBS programming runs one hour earlier in Sacramento. I am in solid Class A... no chance for waivers.

Look, I don't disagree with you. But with a PVR the need for these channels goes away IMO.

Good God, what we don't need is more ABC Family AND especially not more TNN...gak!!!!

:hi: Slight problem. The 501 PVR has only ONE tuner. It doesn't record two shows at once.

I can't justify purchasing a 721 at this time. Maybe a 508, but I have to get the bills down first.

In addition, PVRs, from last I read, make up 5% of Dish's STB population.

I voted none to conserve bandwidth, but if I had to choose it would be SciFi.

OK, but what channels are you willing to give up? You can't have it all....
