Don't Believe NPS about C band support ending.

**tvropro** · 02-02-2010 04:09 PM

There seems to be some misinformation going on that Motorola will be ending c band support as of the end of the year. This is not true. NPS is getting out of selling c band subscriptions and lieing to convert people over to Dish Network.

I called NPS twice today and they told me these lie's and wanted me to convert. I called SRL and they told me this is not true. I then called Skyvision and had a nice conversation with Mike Kohl about this. Mike's exact words were "hogwash" NPS has made a deal with the devil and is trying to sell there remaining customers to Charlie.

Mike also said that he will be talking about this whole issue on Friday night on Access America. He went into other details but I'll let him tell everything this Friday.

The bottom line is if your not with SRL or Skyvision renew your subscriptions with them as soon as your subs with NPS run out. I will be doing this.

Do not bite on NPS's offers to transition you to dish network. They are pulling a Superstar, Netlink, Turnervision.

Good information to know.

Hopefully the remaining 4DTVers out here are enthusiasts like ourselves and will not be conned into the alternatives. There's more to my C band dishes out in my yard than 4DTV anyhow. Sometimes it's difficult deciding what to watch with all my other choices.

I do believe that NPS as we know it will be gone by the end of the year, even from Dish Network. Now that it seems Dish can sell Distant Networks again they have no need for NPS.

Also seems strange that NPS wont sell Annual programming anymore.

If this is all true then I would say the handwriting is on the wall for NPS.

I would still like to see HITS get permission from Turner Broadcasting to make available there channels via 4DTV.

Mike Kohl also told me there are some new idea's in the works for the future so there may be some cool stuff happening for us with Skyvision and SRL.
