  1. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm not entirely sure if the installation would have been a no go. If the existing dish is already a Slimline, couldn't they have just attached a new set of LNBs, or installed a new HD Slimline dish onto the existing pole mount? Unless if the existing dish is an older non-Slimline model, then a...

    It's been awhile since I posted here, but there has been an odd picture quality problem with KWSD-TV, the CW station from Sioux Falls, SD. Ever since Dish Network switched to KWSD's OTA digital signal, there has been some green/pink artifacts appearing in the picture, mainly in the upper left...

    I personally don't mind "Storm Stories" and "When Weather Changed History" on The Weather Channel, but I have to agree with other people and say that showing movies on Friday is pushing it just a bit. It's just like other channels, such as SyFy showing wrestling and Cartoon Network showing...

    Why did you block the channel? It can be very useful...if you can get past the cheesyness of some of its shows. :P
  5. General DISH™ Discussion
    My family and I find BabyFirstTV useful as we have kids at our house from time to time...but there is one thing I find unusual for this channel. It seems BabyFirstTV is run through a PAL/NTSC conversion as a some of the images leave ghosts and other artifacts akin to PAL/NTSC conversion, yet the...

    Well...they made a new contract with ION and they added the ION West feed. It's still possible that Qubo could make it in.
  7. General DISH™ Discussion
    I would, but there is no ION OTA afiliate in South Dakota.
  8. General DISH™ Discussion
    I was wondering...where is this weeks Dish uplink report? (the one for 6-16-09) I usually read through those uplink reports in order to see if any new channels of interest to me are coming soon, such as Qubo.
  9. General DISH™ Discussion
    ION isn't too useless though...if only they added their ION Life and the excellent Qubo channel. I think ION West actually shows some ION Life programming during supposed "Paid Programming" slots as well.

    One more shopping channel bit the dust... Shop Latino TV. Replaced with a slate.
  11. General DISH™ Discussion
    Is the core market regular US viewers? Im just wondering as I don't see dropping these international channels as fantastic.
  12. General DISH™ Discussion
    Ever since my local area stations switched to digital, the picture quality of the local networks has increased considerably, and it's a really nice picture. I have one issue though...and it's related to how Dish zooms in on the local channels HD 16x9 feeds to convert them to a 4x3 format. The...

    What for? I see no problem with the Earth Channel at all.
  14. General DISH™ Discussion
    I haven't seen it yet (Im stuck at college with cable) but I actually think this channel is a very good idea. It would be interesting to see the Earth from that high up in the sky whenever you want to.
  15. Miscellaneous Equipment
    Well, I eventually decided it was way too risky to get the DRC8335 model. I don't want to risk getting a model that clearly has some serious technical problems. I instead got the Zenith XBR716. Even though it has some negative reviews, it does have an equal share of positive reviews as well...
  16. General DISH™ Discussion
    I surely hope it includes ION's digital subchannels...ION Life and more importantly, Qubo (24/7 Childrens network only available OTA on ION O&O affiliates currently). The article stated the deal terms weren't disclosed, so I certianly hope these two channels make it in.
  17. Miscellaneous Equipment
    I was looking at various DVD-Recorder/VHS combination units so I can transfer old VHS tapes to DVD without having a seperate VCR and DVD recorder like I currently have, and I came across this one: http://preview.tinyurl.com/cnkj2h I have read countless reviews on this RCA DRC8335 combo...
  18. FTA / Non Small Dish Satellite Area
    I admit that Im in a dorm room setting right now and only get cable, but both Showtime and HBO are just black screens. Are these two channels out on DBS as well?
  19. Home Theater Audio
    Well, I didn't have a rag with me at the time though, so I just used what I had at hand. :P Though I will use a rag next time though. The system did do the same thing when I rubbed the top with my bare hand as well. That makes me think it could just be static electricity at work. I almost...
  20. Home Theater Audio
    Hello there. I have one of those lower end Home-Theater-in-a-Box type systems (Durabrand HT-3918) that I currently use for TV and computer audio. Not too long ago, I noticed the top of the subwoofer (where everything is connected to) was getting really dusty, so I took the nearest thing I had...
