  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'd monitor this thread over at AVS Forum. Several FOX employees are updating the status of this almost hourly. At the time of this posting the status is: no, but some very interesting test patterns have been originating from FOX.
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    LOL. 5 of these are pretty much the only channels I watch (Comedy Central, ESPN2, Food, HGTV, MTV2)
  3. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Oh, yeah. I'm super ashamed that I work my a** off to support my electronics habit.
  4. Standard Definition Receiver Support Forum
    Considering that DirecTiVos are still running software version 3.0 (i.e. No Home Media Option, No wireless internet connections, no remote scheduling, all included with the Stand Alone TiVos, running software v4.0), I'd bet not.

    As soon as the HD TiVo drops, I'm outta here
  6. Other HD Receiver Support Forum (811, 921, 942)
    +1 on the Danny R suggestion. The others are 'nice to have'.
  7. Other HD Receiver Support Forum (811, 921, 942)
    Please implement name-based recording on the 921. Commentary: I really can't see why Dish hasn't implemented name-based recording. Sure, having to go though the guide and manually find all the West Wings, South Parks, etc isn't _that_ much effort, but seriously, you're having me do work that a...

    They pulled that same crap on me too. "Oh if analog works, digital has to work!" - They flat out refused to RMA me a new 8VSB module. I bought a new one and it worked great. Grrr.
  9. General DISH™ Discussion
    Everything is possible. Not on the visible horizon tho.

    When are you gonna break down and licence Tivo's patents for Name-based-recording and Season-pass functionality. You've already gone to a monthly fee - please tell us that you're going to use it to improve our DVRs!!! - Jim
  11. General DISH™ Discussion
    I'd wait for the 811 and DVI. No one really knows if the 6000 has downrezzing capability, so hard to recommend buying one for the hope that it'll be grandfathered in. Keeping the signal digital all the way to the digital display is worth a month or two wait. Makes a big difference. Anyway, re...

    I just off the phone with Dish. The CSR let me upgrade from DiscHD to the full HD Pak. She didn't have any word on when programming would start, although someone at AVSForum is reporting that their CSR told them programming is already running and they should see it immediately. <edit> Make that...
  13. General DISH™ Discussion
    Yeah, what a ripoff. I'm moving to D* tonight. :rolleyes: Seriously, I bet there will be more coming once SuperDish is out, but you'd be hard pressed to say that the 3 new ones aren't the most highly anticipated/most requested. I called and talked to a (not very knowedgeable) CSR. She...

    Joking, right? You'd not only need supports, you'd need a whole new wall if you tried to mount a tube TV on it. 42' Plasma = ~70lbs 30' Tube = ~130lbs - Jim
  15. General DISH™ Discussion
    Can you not just make a favorites list without those?
  16. General DISH™ Discussion
    Sunday Night Sex with Sue is one of the best shows I've ever seen. Hilarious and useful. The one thing I miss from cable. - Jim
  17. General DISH™ Discussion
    Not exactly. They replaced the whole satellite interface with the 8PSK module. They could have added DishPro then.
  18. General DISH™ Discussion
    What do we want? ESPN-HD! When do we want it? Now! (repeat)
  19. General DISH™ Discussion
    So, we're now less than two weeks away from the first ESPN-HD preseason NFL game. I've said since the beginning that I won't give E* another dollar once I start missing HD NFL games. I've been e-mailing Dish every day, with occasional form-letter responses. Is there any chance of getting it...
  20. General DISH™ Discussion
    1) Less compression 2) ESPN-HD before superdish And I know these are not incompatible requests.
