KTBS 3 Dropped From Dish Network Lineup
KTBS went off the air for thousands of Dish Network subscribers after the station was removed from Dish Network's programming lineup. The two companies reportedly could not come to terms on a fee agreement.

Good thing we have Directv.:D
|
We have Dishnetwork and cable. I recall this happening before and it seemed to resolve itself in a few days.

Oh man.. oh man.. quote of the day right there folks LOL :yoursign::cool: |
Isaac, KTBS is my favorite station. I am on cable now and if they dropped KTBS I would find a provider that has it. Our cable company is Suddenlink and I can't stand them, but I will stay as long as they have the local channels.
|
I thought KTBS and other local channels were now available in HD for free over local airwaves with a set of HD rabbit ears?? (and an HD tuner equipped TV)

I dont watch KTBS, but for all you dish net folks out there: Come on over to Directv! The water is fine! I've had Directv for about 4 years now and I love it-especially the DVR:clap::clap:

I had DirecTV from 1998-2007 and I only (reluctantly, I can't stand Comcast) switched to cable because my Tivo was dying and DirecTV couldn't offer me a new one at any price. All they had was their own off-brand DVR that is a turd to use once you've gotten used to a good one.

it's my understanding DirecTV doesn't carry 'tivo' anymore, although my two tivo units at home work fine, one standard and one HD. |
They came out with a HD Tivo (~$1,000) about two years ago and a cheaper ($300) one the middle of last year. There was a 20-hour Hughes-built HD DirecTV Tivo unit available a few years ago, that had scads of hardware problems and isn't offered anymore. DirecTV bought a DVR company themselves so they no longer work with Tivo.
Right now I have the "Tivo HD" which is a two-tuner CableCard model. I would have gladly paid extra to stay with DirecTV but they offered no product that satisfied my needs which were: two tuners, HD, and Tivo |

I could get any of the two I wanted, but I wanted all three. If you're used to a well-thought-out interface like Tivo then the off-brand DVRs will drive you insane.

Why I needed a Tivo instead of DirecTV's DVR:
1. Automatic d/l of video podcasts 2. Amazon Unbox 3. I can schedule shows from my PC at work 3. Son I will be able to burn shows to DVD and/or watch on my PC while the wife watched something else in the den 4. It has the greatest, most ergonomic remote in consumer electronics history 5. Everything just works perfectly and exactly the way you want and expect 6. Multi-room viewing 7. A season pass feature that actually works and doesn't miss shows 8. Automatic recording of suggestions based on ratings I've given it. It actually picks stuff I like 9. My wife can understand/use it 10. I'm spoiled |
Can the DTV DVR skip commercials (I undersatnd TiVo did-does)? My TimeWarner DVR does not have a skip feature.
|
Tivo doesn't do it automatically, it has a FFWD feature that actually jumps back a few seconds so after you hit play again so it's super-easy to hit exactly where you want.

If I had to switch from Tivo.. I probably would be @#$@% |
We have DISH and have never had a problem until now. I say screw KTBS and it's owner George Sirven. He is demanding a 300% increase from DISH. Puh lease...who in the snot of us gets that kind of pay raise? I would almost feel sorry for the man if I didn't have previous knowledge of what a horses behind he is.
And let me add I'd like to shove my red stiletto up his arse if I have to miss the new episode of Grey's Anatomy!!!!!!!:shoethrow: |

We have dishnetwork and one of the their ill performing DVRs. We are watching HD over the air broadcasts of KTBS. They have most of the programs my wife likes to watch. I would like to know who is bringing what to the table and who is holding out.
Direct TV tried to dry hump me on an install once-so it will be a bitter pill to swallow if I have to use them. I also have a grudge against cable TV, but it's been so damn long that I can't remember what they did. Doesn't stop me from using their internet services. Besides, the picture sucked. At least it did when I lived in South Highlands. Now that I'm in a new area with new cable, maybe I'll have to give them another audition. I might even try one of those fancy Tivo units. Do I get 10% off if I say Joepole sent me? |

Glad for once that we have cable and dish. Not really necessary except in cases of emergency like this! Is the new Grey's tomorrow night?
|
Yes! Yes! Yes!
|
Girls start you engines :twist: Grey's :eek:
|
Pokie, are you cooking? What time should I be there and what wine should I bring????:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Oh brother, is tonight THE night? No wonder Mrs. Morph didn't want to cook tonight. I guess I'll get stuck bathing Morphette as well.

For Belle, Isabella and Leia
How many times can Meredith and Derek break up??:rolleyes:
Izzie and George don't seem to have what it takes as a couple.:confused: |
I loved tonight's episode except for the Meredith and Derek part. They need to let them be a happy couple helping others. I hope they will let George and Izzie part ways and just be friends. Bailey's husband needs to come back home. The McSteamy storyline is hilarous. Those women really have him worried. I love Christina. Is this the last new episode?
