Default Re: Electronic wiz's on unused sat dish(?)

Patty-
I have the 250 plus local HD and HBO and Max. The DVR is great; I am now totally addicted to it. I can pause live tv, record anything on the DVR hard drive, both HD and SD. It serves 2 TVs, although only one in HD. I never watch commercials anymore. As a matter of fact, when I do watch live tv, I'm always surprised that the remote doesn't wisk me forward. Then I realize...damn, this isn't on the DVR. I have 4 TVs on the dish, and one that I'll have to get a converter for (it's old and down in the rec room). I also am getting a HD tv tuner for my computer so I can watch HD on it.
I've contacted DISH many times, but the CEO on a Charlie Chat said they felt that they have enough baseball already and the cost to them was too high. Same with the local sports channel (MASN) which we have in SD but not in HD. I think they're immune to my e-mails, calls and threats lol. Plus I love the picture and sound, and the channel selection in HD.
