    You will lose that bet. See e.g articles about Sinclair offer 1m ATSC 3.0 chips for smartphones. Also ATSC 3.0 is not just about broadcasting. It is meant also to be for internet streaming. Lots of people do such streaming to their smartphones.

    Deployment, in a limited number of locations (reportedly around NYC, PA and Texas) is live. Some users are reporting their results over at DSLReports.

    For 3d its Catagory 2 (also called hi-speed) that is needed for Blu-ray HD. Directv uses a image that is essentially a single 1080p with either left and right or top bottom images (your TV takes these and shows them in its version of 3d), and so any decent catagory 1 will work for DirecTv,
  4. High Definition Displays
    The Samsung Plasmas are much better at 3d than the LED/LCD models. The Panasonic does have the edge given a 3d source. The Sony's that I have seen have a severe problem if your glasses are not perfect level with the screen. The Samsung's, and I believe some of the others like Sony, have...

    They are being more specific than that. The MLB site has a big message on the zipcode page. Slogan "Throw Dish a Curve" http://mlbnetwork.mlb.com/network/getmlbnetwork/

    Don't know. The full quote is below "Sharp bets it all on no-glasses 3DTV: Sharp will be shipping 3DTVs that don't require glasses starting in June. The LCD displays will have three "sweet spots" and a visual range-finding system of LEDs embedded in the bezel so that you can sit at the precise...

    I guess glassless 3D Tv's are coming sooner than some of us guessed. Sharp has announced they will ship one starting in June. Still comments from the Consummer Electronics show earlier this year did not think that such TV's currently worked as well as those that use glasses.

    On the other hand my oldest HDTV is now 10 years old. Not rushing to replace it but when I do one that supports 3d versus one that doesn't seems like a good choice.

    Last check none have it active full time. Some have had it active for specific events.

    In additional to wireless, consider using Powerline (Homeplug). The receiver has this builtin so all you would need is one Homeplug adapter connected to your router.

    Two of the recently added HD channels. Retro movies and independent movies are shown. Note if you are like me with a 110/119/61.5 setup you are currently missing the new HD channels.

    Really a change in the definition. Which is somewhat better for the consumer who might buy a TV that really isn't built to support 3D and think he was ready to go.

    Also look for the 722K. 722's and 622's are out of production, although they probably have some stock. Depends a lot on what kind of deal they offer you. They charge less per month for 612, because it can only output one program at a time, but the first receiver is included free. The 722k...

    From what Scott G. reports on his board, they will be intensifying the Unhappy Customers Program in future months. So if you didn't make a decision on getting equipment yet you may be even more unhappy http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/203777-more-hd-move-61-5-72-7-a.html

    Well the new "customer program" is working. After Ten years with Dish, I have scheduled Fios to install next month. Biggest regrets is I have a bunch of recodings (5 EHD) that I will lose and from reports of have heard FIOS has a small and mediocre DVR. But with my bundle of FIOS services (I...

    The 612 completely lacks the ability to do dual decoding of the mpeg2/mpeg4 video stream. So no PIP. there are additional chips in the 622/722 that decode the second output streams. Nothing to do with the TV. Your TV might support pip from different video sources but that wouldn't help with...

    No problem. The so called duo's have chips that supports two output streams, which of couse is how they do a second tv. The 612 does not have this ability. The same remotes are used for both.

    Who knows, they might start adding new programming on 77. Still if you had a complete WA (110/110/129) that probably is good as well.

    I had set a dishpass timer for the Winter Olympic games. The timer said it was recording. I was watching the ota channel (the timer was picking one of the satellite tuners) and I decided to check on the recording. It said it was recording on 004-00 but i could not do anything with the...

    Yes it is, and for many it will mean a new contract extension. And of course you can no longer drop what was DHPP (has a new name) without paying $25. My HDTV's are 10 years, 8 years and 1 years 11 months old. I Originally came to Dish from DirecTv when they offered only HBO in HD. Probably...
