    tvrossiya still not working

    All Broadshift services have ceased operation as of today. I was a tvitaliana subscriber, but this also affects tvrossiya and any potential itvn deal. Here's the message from broadshift: "Regretfully, BroadShift has ceased operations. We have been unable to obtain necessary funding to...

    ITVN Dead?

    Scott: Broadshift.com was planning to buy it, but has ceased operations as of today. I was a subscriber to their italian package and wonder if this has anything to do with the itvn problems. The sad thing is I just hopoked up my in-laws to the internet specifically for tvItaliana from...

    If you are thinking of switching to DirecTV for RSN HD

    Thanks for the link. Assuming the web site is correct, I find it funny that I can't get the HD version of any RSN's games based on where I live. Where I am in CT has no HD sports programming despite having access to SD versions of NESN, , FSNE, YES and SNY. I would have to "move" to a place...

    New IPTV - Foreign Television Service!

    BTW, I do agree that IPTV is not ready for prime time. For now I can live with it to get the programming I desire. The biggest drawbacks are inferior video quality, featureless set-top boxes/remotes, lack of dvr, somewhat slow channel changes. These features all need to be worked on and more...

    New IPTV - Foreign Television Service!

    I already have Dish Network.....for my preferred language of Italian they have RAI International, Leonardo World (terrible channel) and Video Italia plus 3 radio stations for $20. Globecast or Free-to-Air......offer some catholic channels. These providers aren't quite filling the hole for good...

    New IPTV - Foreign Television Service!

    No problem Scott. They don't seem to promote that they are related (which may be a good thing with their early problems). I do know you are right about their lack of rights fees to rebroadcast some signals. I believe that they used to have Polish channels, but were forced to stop providing...

    New IPTV - Foreign Television Service!

    Scott: I was curious about the problems you are having with this company. This company is owned by ShifTV which last month announced they were providing Sky Angel IPTV in Canada. In the Sky Angel forum you seemed to think this was good. In fact the OverseaTV and Sky Angel IPTV website are...

    New IPTV - Foreign Television Service!

    Manhole: I've had the Italian package for OverseaTV for a month. I was leary like Scott for a while, but decided to try it when they lowered their yearly prices. My in-laws love it though they currently don't have a high speed internet connection (min 1.5 mbs) to take advantage of it...

    Sky Angel and ShifTV Launch Canada-Wide TV Service to Deliver 30-Plus Channels

    If I'm not mistaken, ShifTV is the operator of IPTV's such as OverseaTV (Ukranian, Russian, Italian, German), and Arabian and PersianTV. Seeing this announcement gives me a little hope that this company will be around for a while. I'm just ordering the Italian package (just posted as $200 a...

    U-verse expands to CT

    Ahhh........an understanding wife. I had almost convinced my wife to allow me to put up a star choice system to go along with dish. When I mentioned u-verse last night she told me a nice place I could put that star choice dish...... I can't wait for the review. I'm especially interested in...

    U-verse expands to CT

    I've been trying to find an in-depth review. The closest things I've found are limited reviews (though I just read a few posts about outages and problems getting the HD "turned on"). I also haven't seen any details on the HD PQ...a big factor in my decision to switch. I do like the lineup...

    U-verse expands to CT

    BTW, I just looked at the bay area post in this forum and found a few of my answers. I wish I had read it earlier. Thanks!

    U-verse expands to CT

    Available here in Rocky Hill too Scott! (I live right on the Wethersfield/RH line and have seen them installing the equipement over the past few months). I do have a few questions about the Sports Nets as I don't see the local sports channels listed in the channel guides online: NESN, FSN...

    Simple 942 Sat. In Wiring Question

    I had a simple question about my Dish 942 receiver: I have 2 coax wires going into my 942 in the Sat In 1(A) and Sat In 2(B). When I run a Checkswitch I see that the Sat. 1 has Port 1 as 119 and Port 2 at 110 and Sat. 2 has the same Port 1 as 119 and Port 2 as 110. My question is does...

    Dish Network announces 48 HD local cities that may be launched

    Uggh! That's just great. I happen to be in the Hartford DMA and can't understand how a place like Burlington, VT gets in ahead of my DMA. Right now I get all 4 major channels OTA, but 2 of the 4 majors here have had periodic transmission issues. The local CBS had a 3 day stretch where the...
