Curtis must be married. I too suffer from selective hearing / reading

At least they don't have the severe DISH bias, like here.

You, if anyone, should appreciate that.

Severe?

It was not there two full days. DirecTV even confirmed that to us.

That's interesting.

Since it was there all day Saturday....saw it first hand....and no less than open to close on Sunday....saw it myself again - firsthand multiple times each day at different times. I have photos of the HMC30 with time/date stamps on both days if you fell those are necessary.

Strange how no Staff from DBSTalk was there, not even Doug who attended last years Dish Press Conference... DBSTalk members hit CES Friday, Saturday & Sunday I guess, we were there the day before the show opened reporting on Directv & Panasonic's 3D...

I know of at least 6 people who were there on behalf of DBSTalk, covering all 4 of the days of the CES. They shared their experienced, photos, and related information to me after the show. They were there on there on their own nickel, or so they all told me.

In reading their report from two of their onsite people...they had a pretty good report, photos, and subsequent information that is consistent with what I saw.

Guess it really doesn't matter in the end...but as for the HMC30 - it most certainly was there no less than 2 full days.

Too Bad DIRECTV felt they had to hide this at the Entropic booth instead of spending the money to lease booth space and show it off from the get-go ...

That's almost funny.

The DirecTV HMC30 box was wide open there in the booth, a DirecTV staffer was in the booth with a logo shirt and badge...not exeactly what I'd call "hiding".

Anybody walking past the booth or into it could easily see the HMC30 and the client set up and running with displays showing the guides, setup screens, etc.

They had 4-5 other logo shirt staff in several other booths, and at one point had 3 of them at the Entropic booth with lots of folks looking at the HMC30.

If that was any kind of "secret" or hiding....

As for second-guessing how they spend their marketing dollars...it would seem that their results demonstrate they are growing their business quite well for years now - must be doing something right.

Didn't you know that DirecTV needed to do that to pay for Beyonce's fee for the DirecTV commercial she did?
