    Roku..Need some info..please

    I bought the roku for baseball (I have to watch my Red Sox from NESN). Netflix is a nice bonus for me. And roku tries to introduce at least one new channel a week (on Fridays). I also use pandora, radiiotime, revision3 (tekzilla), Roxwel, Flixster, vimeo & Pub-D-Hub.

    What has Dish done for you that made you happy?

    I have had DISH since the beginning. At first I used it to supplement my BUD but 10 years ago I got rid of the big dish. I have had only one receiver failure and it was my 1st 622 (HDMI failed) and I had a replacement within a couple of days. The 622 failure was the last time that I...

    Ok, who still has there job

    No. All of the VMS systems I support are Alphas and we are going to Itanium within the next year (I hope). But, I do have great memories of working with VAXen. My first one was the 2nd VAX built in 1977 when I worked for DEC.

    3 x 1 HDMI Switch - for HDTV sharing

    Mike, I just checked the Monoprice.com web site and the one I have is not sold anymore. It was replace by a 5 to 1 switch. So, I cannot guarantee that it will work the same as mine. But, I bought something from them that did not work and there no hassle at all in returning the item.

    Differences Between The 811 and 211?

    The 811 has analog OTA in addition to the digital OTA. The 211 only has digital OTA. I find that the 211 will not make a digital OTA available if there is any PSIP inconsistancy but the 811 will map the channel. I currently have both and am about to get rid of my 811 and get another 211...

    Anybody going to downgrade services?

    I will probably drop showtime & HBO and go to TC from TC+. I will also drop the HD package in March.as I now get the HD package from DISH. The reason I have not dropped the HD package yet is a 1 year commitment that will be up in March.

    Xm Or Sirius

    Radio Shack HD Tuner $89!

    I bought one as well. Nice receiver. Got a station that I could net get with my 811 It says that it works with cable. But, unfortunately, it does not handle QAM. So, it is useless for cable unless your cable company uses 8VSB (I think cable only uses QAM).

    BluRay.VS.HD-DVD

    I hope BluRay wins. Because of the two competing formats, we all lose. I do not think that there will be players that support both formats for at least a couple of years. Most consumers probably don't care about HD DVDs and having competing formats will keep them on the sidelines even longer.
