    DISH wants $700 for 942???!!!

    Even $250 for a lease seems high to me, especially since your going to have to give the box back when (or if) mpeg 4 becomes available.

    Echostar Names Chief Technical Officer

    Maybe as CTO he'll have more power because as president he had none. Now, if only the board would oust Ergen.

    OLN Dropped by Dish over Programming Disputes

    I have a question. Why hasn't Charlie been ousted from Dish yet? Any other company and the CEO would have been fired, look at HP. Dish is a company that is loosing lots of existing customers because Charlie is less focused on customer satisfaction and more focused on his personal control of...

    Some PocketDish Info

    You can connect other music players to iTunes so it may be possible. But I'm still trying to figure out what the point of this unit is. It's good for kids in the back seat, but what about the rest of us? You can't walk and watch TV and you sure can't drive and watch tv. The subway is okay...

    Questions about plasmas

    About plasma, the technology it's self is susceptible to burn in. There is no question about that. The person who owns that tv claims he can prevent that. Maybe he can maybe he can't. However, should burn in occur, it's not something that can be repaired. Most new tv's claim to have a way...

    Motorola dvr 6412 Firewire recording to DVD

    Does it record like a DV Camera to a DVD Recorder, just plug it in and control from the DVD recorder, or is it a little more complicated? I would love to be able to do on the fly recording to my DVD recorder. Currently, I have to power off my DVR, change the settings to 480i, then change the...

    Comcast DVR Belongs in a Dumpster

    You all have had real success. I am going to get my third box in 6 months. The first PVR hard drive got smaller and smaller until one 30 minute SD show took up the whole hard drive. The second one locked up and displayed a black screen before smoking. Then, this morning, my PVR was...

    Apple’s working on a high-definition video network?

    Apple has a site of HD content already. It seems to work fine if you have a fast Mac but does not work for G4's or PC's. Check it out below. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/hdgallery/

    Is Dish worth it?

    You pay $250 Non Refundable to dish for a PVR box that will only work six months. IMHO, don't waste your time. I'd hold out. I'll be damned if I jump back to dish for 10 channels. Even though, I love VOOM.

    Dish to announce special deal to get Voom customers

    That's my issue, too, bookwalk. I'm wondering if there is a way to just get the Voom channels. I can keep my cable PVR and switch to DISH whenever I feel like watching Voom Channels. All I need is to lease an 811 for free.

    New Poll: Where are you going?

    Got a great deal with Cable. Still with dish at $5 a month. I might consider going back to dish but I'm going to wait to see if Cable gets the Voom line up. In the mean time. Cable all the way.

    Take a close look at what Dish has just done to us

    I am so pissed off at Dish, here is an e-mail I am sending them. Believe me, I am going to stop selling their stuff. To whom it may concern; I have been a Dish Network customer since about 1996 and have had no problems with your service until I received a Hi-Definition TV in January. I...

    Sears made it's choice

    I work for Sears Electronics and have posted before. The problem with Voom at Sears is that we had no support from any one from Voom. The only person who knew about Voom at my store was me. I got Voom because I bought a 61 inch Samsung DLP. I knew of Voom, but with very little training...

    Post Voom ... Time Warner CSR lying?

    I work at Sears in Maryland. We have Comcast here and most people who want the Cablecard, have to fight hard to get one. No matter what the cable CSR's say, they have them. By law they have to have them. Also, Comcast does not charge for the card. They also don't charge a programing fee...

    Apple’s working on a high-definition video network?

    I don't think that Apple is actually considering launching an HD service or satellite. Even though Apple has expressed interest in HD, Apple has not expressed interest in the TV industry. That's not to say that Apple won't be in that position at a latter time, but that Jobs does not feel he...

    Monday's (3/7) Wall Street Journal Story

    I work for Sears and have two statements to make. 1) I can assure you all stores were told to pull the Voom POP material. We received a memo from corporate that said that all Voom material should be held until further notice. This memo was sent less than one day after voom.com placed the...
