So having Cable TV since the beginning of time, and spending a arm-and-a-leg for the monthly fees (with two tv's and cable internet it was about $160 per month). We decided to try out Dish Network.  We checked out the packages, and found a package which has all the movie channels and the sports package (yes) for less than what we were paying for Cable. We had three TV's hooke...

Ok, so I had cable many many moons ago. I hated it, and once I left, I swore I would never go back again. When I first left cable, I switched to Primestar satellite, which sadly is no longer available. DirecTV bought out Primestar, and I was with them for several years. But, eventually an excellent promo for Dish Network came out, and I was lured to switch.For the pluses and bonuses they gave m...

Which Dish is actually the better bargain when "Dish Network" and "Direct TV" both claim to have the better service or better programing package...Unless you've tried them both, its really hard to tell them apart... But I have tried them both, and in my opinion, "Dish Network" wins hands down !!! I really like their program packageing and inexpensive add-ons yo...

Well honestly I can tell you that Dish Network is not such a bad idea of getting if you are looking to get a TV deal because there are mnay great things about Dish Network but also there are a couple of glitches that are pretty annoying with Dish Network. Well the things that I really like about Dish Network is that there are many channels to choose from and also it is pretty cheap, it only cos...

I subscribed to the Food Network Magazine because I love watching the Food Network. One of my favorite shows to watch on Food Network is The Next Food Network Star. I like to call the winners early and see if I'm right. This season, I was, and I love Melissa d'Arabian! It was so great to see a Stay-at-home-mom win. She has had no formal training, but loves cooking great food for her fam...

The Main Reason I Bought It:I got tired of unhooking the router so I could play online when using my Xbox 360. My family also got tired of it as they wanted to get online also with the router. Instead of taking turns I finally got the Xbox 360 Network Adaptar. The 360 Network Adapter is much easier to deal with compared to using my router because I would have to keep adjusting the antenna on th...

The Toshiba Bluetooth USB Adapter adds Bluetooth connectivity to your PC enabling wireless communication with a wide variety of Bluetooth devices including notebooks, desktops, PDAs, printers, scanners, digital cameras, cell phones or any Bluetooth-enabled device. Bluetooth provides short-range wireless connectivity, even through walls and other obstacles, which makes communication between comp...

When I built my new computer, I decided not to use my old wireless adapter because the software for it was for Windows XP and earlier OS versions. I was going to install Windows Vista 64 bit for my new desktop, and I was under the impression that some older hardware was not compatible with Vista 64. To err on the safe side, I decided to buy a new wireless adapter made from the same manufactur...

The Belkin Wireless G USB Adapter can be used with both a laptop or a desktop computer. I found the most difficulty with this model in the "Ability to Keep Signal" category. The adapter would lose the signal every few hours and every time the computer was shut off between uses. This experience was duplicated on both the laptop and the desktop and did not seem to depend upon the distance between...

The Belkin wireless USB adapter seems like a great solution for desktop computers and older notebooks that lack built-in wireless connectivity. When it works, it works fine, but it has a few shortcomings.For some reason, connectivity never seems to work consistently. It runs on a proprietary driver that interferes with Windows' network manager, and though I'm using it with a compatible ...

If you have a Tivo and a wireless broadband connection then you must purchase a Tivo wireless network adapter.  I have great affection for my Tivo and my wireless network adapter made me love this DVR that much more.With a wireless network adapter Tivo can now update and download new program information via your home computer rather than having to use your telephone line.  Also i...

This is the 2nd Linksys Network Everywhere 10/100 5 port hub that I have owned and if I need another, it is what I would by again.  The only reason I am on my 2nd one is the same reason I did not give the product a 5 on my overall rating.  It is made of lightweight plastic, good, yes, unless it gets dropped or falls off the desk.  The back area of my first one cracked right where...

When I was in college, the Internet was always accessible either by means of a router in my dorm room or the wireless hotspots across campus. When I graduated, I did not have many means to access the Internet through my desktop computer. I grew tired of dial-up, which had slow downloading speed and could potentially be interrupted by incoming phone calls. I searched for an alternative on my ...

We've subscribed to Dish Network for two years now and except for an occasional thunderstorm that stops the programming, we've been quite pleased with the service.They are always running offers to get new customers and we got it, we received the 120 channel package. This included for us 2 DVR's (which is literally a hard drive) one is our living room and the other in a bedroom. ...

My friend had this type of tv service before att u verse came out and it sucked. every time a major football came on and it got real cloudy, you couldint see anything. thats the problem with dishes. unlike cable they rely on a spacecraft many thousand miles away. if anything happens to that satilight or any backups that are with it, every tv that uses satilight will lose picture for days, weeks...

I have had DishNetwork now for about  3 years.  The picture and sound is great, programming is fine. It rarely goes out except for when there is a rainstorm or a snowstorm and if it does go out it is for a short time. The only real complaint I have with Dish Network is their Tech. division. My remote stopped working so I called them and the guy said the batteries must be dea...

When I got Dish Network, the first thing I made sure I had was a DVR. TiVos are pretty expensive and the Dish DVR service is perfect. It doesn't have all the fancy internet features as TiVo but it works for me. Anyways, back to the remote. Its pretty simple and self explanatory. I've had the remote for a little over 18 months and you still read most of it. I use it everyday, so usage is pretty ...

Since I dumped cable and went to Dish Network, I really can't say anything bad about either in all honesty. At least in my area, both options provide fairly stable service, and with that said it's more or less a question of which option is going to give me a better rate on HD programming. As of about a year ago, when I dumped cable for Dish, the cable around here only had about 8 HD cha...

It took days for my husband to convince me to get the DVR with our dish network package.  Now that we have it, I can't imagine how we lived without it.  As soon as we got it, I set up all my shows to record.  Now I don't have to worry about making sure there's a blank tape in the VCR, fiddling with the timer, or making sure I'm home in case I forget to set the tim...

We have the Dish Network 500. We got the one with the Dvr. We can record our shows that we watch so we don't miss it and thats not hard to do with the busy lives we live. We can also rewind live tv in case we miss something and thats also not that hard to do. If you are in between Dish Network and Directv. I would recommend getting Dish Network. I have not had a problem with it everyone I t...
