I run the same setup, Comcast W/internet, diplexed to my Dish 500 to an 811 and another receiver. Never had a problem....

You didn't miss anything. The had the same stuff on from about 5 years ago..:rolleyes:

Here is an interesting tid bit from a broadcaster about the problems they are having nationwide with the HD/DTV transition. Audio is one of them. I assume the Sat providers are having some of the same problems. Audio levels on OTA is greatly different accross the channels. Some of it has to...

This is the key. I think satellite will eventually shrink back to the rural domain unless they can get a decent, cost effect internet access going for their customers. Cable and phone companies have the inside track right now. D* and E* are supposidly working on a joint venture to get a...

"they will eventiually discontinue the 61.5 bird " I'll bet that will make the people who paid $100 to get the VOom stuff very happy indeed....

Didn't I see posted earlier that it would be available to all customers, not just the HD subscribers? I still have my 811 but dropped the HD package last year. Not a big deal as I will get it OTA on NBC anyway.

I thought the commercials were pretty good. The magic fridge and Fed Ex comes to mind. The Stones were great compared to the trash last year. At least we didn't get Rapped/hip-hopped as seems to be the trend now days. Amazing how Jager still gyrates at 60 +!! Thought the game was pretty...

Well, that's two people who watch it I guess..... :D

E* should just drop this station as it is terrible. Who in the hell watches this trash anyway? Drop FSTV and use the bandwith for something better E*!

Since you already bought an antenna, go ahead and install it. You can buy a diplexor (2 - one for each end) to combine the Sat and Ant into a single coax and slpit it back out to the tv and receiver. You can buy diplexors at Lowes.

Call your credit card company and dispute the charge. If they billed you before the alloted time to return then they are in error and need to be called on it. You may also report them to your state's Attorney General for fraud.

Wow, 9-1/8% and they are just now acting on it?

Dump the 811 (piece of junk anyway for OTA) and get an STB if you are only watching OTA. LG makes good ones.

Can't find anything about a Silver Arrow antenna, but, you may try putting a pre-amp on it. 70-75% strength is pretty good. The dropouts are likely to be from the stations themselves. In my area, I get all of the networks at pretty much the same strength. (in the 70's). However, my 811 will...

What channel will it be on?

That's the big problem with E* it seems, you get nickled and dimed anymore. They change something so you have to pay $250+ to get service. Add Voom, some have to buy another dish, $100. They upgrade to Mpeg4, you have to pay $250+ to get new equipment. Price increases, I've seen more in the last...

That will be interesting to see if and when it happens.

They show it isn't available in my area (doesn't make sense) but I wouldn't use one anyway. I have a DVR-CD I use and it works very well. When they come out with one that does HD, I'll buy it. Also, my LG-4200A does cable so I wouldn't need a Comcast Box. They charge you for every little...

For me, the premiums are not a big deal. Another factor is you can get High Speed internet via comcast as well. Dang, the cost of watching TV is getting outrageous no matter who you go with.

I think HD will severely hurt the satellite carriers. With the E* HD Packages, Comcast is now very competative and they do not down rez their HD content and the locals are in HD already. Comcast: Added $5 for HD Digital Platinum $97.40 Digital Gold $87.85 Digital Silver...

Perhaps a better plan would be for Sat & Cable providers to offer packages based on number of stations. Example: Have a 10, 20, 30 or more channel packages. The customer would choose a 10 pack, select his 10 channels for $10. (Just an example) That would be about the only way this would work...

Thanks.

Can't beleive not much posted here on this. The FCC supports customers of cable and satellite being able to get only the programming they want without having to take a "bundle" of other programming they do not want or watch and save money. Sounds reasonable. If this indeed goes into effect...

If you are using a Dish 500, I had a similar problem. Turned out to be the LNB mounting bracket on the end of the arm. Bought a new one from the "store", installed it and it works fine now.

They say it is coming, they just don't say when. (Don't hold your breath) I dropped my HD Pak when the $5 VoOM hit E*. I thought they should have added it to the HD Pak and up the price to $15. As it was, I was already tired of the same stuff on the HD Pak and figured VoOM would be no better...
