As I said in 2 other threads, I was at that booth Thursday, we did XStream Friday and talked with some Dish officials including Charlie Ergen, then Scott, Prize Goddess and myself left for lunch & never made it back (Press room was full plus those box lunches aren't the best compared to Hooter's Hot Wings

)

am7 I mention it wa mention in the directv forum. Sorry should of mention it was you who mentioned it.

As for everyone else who was there I dont want to hear about directv not showing off anything cool .... that is very cool!

Now why we werent there showing off the rvu dvr and the the swim eithernet adadpters and directv 3d hdtv is beyond me other then it was cheaper to let everyone else do all there heavy work.

I saw more mentions about a company not at ces Directv from Engadet and Gizmodo, then I dish who was there.

the plot thickens and I to think i was upset dtv was not going to tease me with something cool.

Agreed stonecold it does look pretty cool. With that and more HD channels they could be on to something with that whole DVR concept.

Honestly we would never have found it, CES is the size of 60 football fields all filled with companies. Where the unit was found wasnt anyplace folks looking for DirecTV stuff would have found it.

We went to cover the satellite companies and no component makers and thats what we did. If DirecTV would belly up to the table and have an actual booth then we would have found it and covered it.

Ben from Engadget actually contacted me about it this afternoon asking me for more details on it and I didn't have anything to say about it unfortunately.

Apparently they had the DTV RVU unit at 3 locations

Entropic booth / Samsung Meeting room / STMicro at a Private suite conference

Again none of them being satellite companies.

We wouldnt have been able to get into the samsung and stmicroareas anyways.

DirecTV would get more coverage for their new products if they showed them off at their own booth.

Scott the company is cheap. Considering what they put us through they probably felt with everyone else showing off directv services no point to being there. Personally I would of liked to been at the directv booth. I would of stood around all day playing with the equipment.

Directv is cheap = no booth

Dish does crazy price increase on dvr duo boxes = booth at ces.

Actually Dfergie went to the Entropic booth on Friday and the unit was not there. That makes it even harder to cover it when you have been to the booth and the product isnt there.
