Tell us why you
have the absolute bottom of the line dishnet receiver, Dave?

It was the top end a couple of years ago, but you're wrong about it
being the "absolute bottom of the line".

Here's Dishnets current line of receiver offerings.
The 111 is the only one listed that doesn't at least support S-video.

Its clearly bottom of the line.

So let me quess Dave... when you signed up for dishnet you took the
"free" equipment package...didn't you?

If things have improved, then
my wishes have been fulfilled. However, I'm not willing to take the
word of someone who quotes another person on the internet or tries to
compare disparate systems (even your friend's system isn't analogous
to mine, since he has HD *and* is on a different network - if he has
no artifacting, then that's great and is good news.

Maybe if you could do some research and understand you'd find that
dishnet with their 500 channel offering is often described as the worst
of the sat suppliers. Of course this has nothing to do with the
content sourcing networks or digital TV in general as you would have us
believe. Its your crappy equipment on your crappy sat service
provider.

Plus, I'm not sure
that you even know what to look for, since you seem to be more
concerned about how video looks on a cell phone.

Spin spin spin..... Just pointing out that I do get to see highly
compressed video that looks pretty good... coming to a cell phone near
you before the end of this year.

Now, why don't you have live pause capabilities? One would think that
someone who finds sports so important to the video medium would be
able to use it.

Never felt the need to relive history... I might like to record but
live pause and being stuck in the past never appealed to me. But rest
assured Dave, if I went that route I wouldn't be doing it with obsolete
technology like you are.. and then complaining about the results.

Plus, considering how constipated you come off on this
forum, it comes in handy during your extended bathroom visits.

Now Dave, try to control your envy. It isn't my fault you shell out
good money for ****ty video.
