At this point, I'm really unhappy with Dish/E*/Charlie. The dates slip (repeatedly) and the price magically goes up once it becomes apparent that NO converter boxes will be 'free' as they were intended to be originally. I had been looking forward to the TV50, since I need a ATSC PVR, but if he keeps this up with it too, it won't go on sale until 2011 for the low price of $1400. <br><br>BTW, here's the letter on freedtvshop's site... pretty much the same as email they sent to those who had preordered...<br><br><a href="http://www.freedtvshop.com/fdtv/converters/dtvpal.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.freedtvshop.com/fdtv/converters/dtvpal.php</a><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TVGenius]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 14th 2008 1:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DISH Network's DTVPal converter box gets reviewed]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/13/dish-networks-dtvpal-converter-box-gets-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/13/dish-networks-dtvpal-converter-box-gets-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[I just tried to order the DTVpal from dtvpal.com (for $60+shipping+tax-coupon) and it would not let me order online because I do not currently have Dish Network service.  It instructed me to call to buy it.  When I called I was told that I had to get Dish Network service to decode the local channels with this box.  THIS IS COMPLETELY INSANE that Dish Network expects people to pay them $5-10 per month for something they can get for free with any other DTV converter box.  Be aware before you order this box from another site which may not warn you of this requirement.  I don’t care how good the box is, if it is better at all, I WILL NOT PAY FOR FREE BROADCAST TV.  Dish Network needs to stop trying to take advantage of people by charging for something that is free.  Don’t waste your coupon.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave S]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 26th 2008 10:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DISH Network's DTVPal converter box gets reviewed]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/13/dish-networks-dtvpal-converter-box-gets-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/13/dish-networks-dtvpal-converter-box-gets-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[I ordered a DTVPal through dtvpal.com site and I do not have Dishnetwork service.  I have not seen any notices on their site or anywhere other here that use of DTVPal will require Dishnetwork service to operate properly.  I suspect changing requirements now would open them up to an antitrust lawsuit by tieing one product to another.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steve]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2008 1:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DISH Network's DTVPal converter box gets reviewed]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/13/dish-networks-dtvpal-converter-box-gets-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/13/dish-networks-dtvpal-converter-box-gets-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[According to DishNetwork on the DTVPAL You don't have to subscribe to DishNetwork to use the converter Box which has APT as well.

I went and bought one last week at Sears (they're available there), hooked it up to my antenna, and let it do its thing during set up. In a few minutes, it downloaded electronic program guide data over the air...all for free. No gimmicks, no sign ups, nothing. Just plug in and enjoy. Panic and misinformation over. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 24th 2008 10:15PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
