Every company will push what they have until the end.

Hmmmm, didn't someone on here sell a 942 on 1/31/2006?

Do you understand basic business?

Book of Daniel has already been cancelled by NBC but they are still showing the episodes they paid for. They simply haven't canned them.

They also are selling commercials on the program. They aren't running it commercial free.

Gillette is still selling Mach 3 razors even though they debut Fusion on Sunday.

As long as you have something, you maximize it.

That is exactly what Starz is trying to do until they migrate to mega-pipe or some variation as will all HD Providers eventually as there are not enough satellite transponders otherwise if everything was to go HD as it is now (and there aren't enough transponders even then).

Exactly - because you maximize what you have until the end.

Now the person I sold it to is happy and I am happy - and $100 richer for not following your device instead of giving someone with a 922 a sweet deal.

How about supplying some proof of that statement.

NBC buys a set number of programs and if the ratings are what's expected the show gets canned, they don't order any more. What's so hard to understand about that?

And Gillette still sells disposable razors. Detroit car makers produce new models of cars. So what?

What does this have to do with Starz and C-Band? It's like I said don't equate how Dish screws customers with any other satellite based business.

Your inability to understand basic business principals is amazing.

Guess you will keep saying "Would you like that order supersized?" all your life.
