A Note From Scott on New HD

[Scott Greczkowski]

No, but it was nice of him to clear up the confusion. He's been right so many times in the past, but wrong several times recently. It was a good idea to explain "Hey, here's my sources, and they are jerking me around."

No I don't think they are jerking me around. I think something happened. The question I have is what happened that changed things within an hour.

Scott, you gotta play for the home team.

Pay off your cars/house and ride into the sunset. These people will get along just fine.

Scott:

You tell it like it is. You are honest and dependable. I wish our politicans were like you. Hey, that's an idea. SCOTT FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!
Keep up the good work. Without you we would never know what was going on in.

No worries Scott. This is a great site that I check several times daily. As you can tell I do not post much but I do learn a great deal from SatelliteGuys.US. I will continue to support this site whether or not this news happens this week, this month, next month etc. Companies the size of Dish move like glaciers and often one division does not know what the other division is doing.

This site is a great resource without peer!

And they've now discovered who that leak is (or they've narrowed it down to some number). Sure sounds like they provided one or more employees with the 1st memo to see what would happen...

But, why would they do that and also go out of their way to invite SatGuys to a Meet & Greet at Team Summit?? It doesn't make any sense.

You know, its not uncommon for companies the size of E* to release alternate versions of memos intended for difference audiences. I mean, I know next to nothing about how the job actually gets done in the satellite TV business, but is it possible that what may be common knowledge to someone in Programming, maybe be only on a 'need to know' basis with engineering?

Either way, Dish does need to do something. Granted our years with bright, new HD way before the competitors has spoiled us, but this dry spell is taxing the patience of many people here. The 'victim of your own success' scenario only goes so far without an effort to continuing success. If these channels are uplinked and broadcasting already, just turn them on already...

As someone who works in Engineering for a major media company, I can tell you Marketing rarely tells us what is going to happen until right before we need to do it. They consider such details to be insignificant.

The first memo went out to a lot of folks. The second one probably only went out to engineering as it was more detailed then the other one.

(Thats just my guess of course)

[darrencp22]

The more detailed memo did not mention the HD channels? If that is correct you figure ti would be the other way around. This would be bad news.

So MORE saw the channels that have been removed on the second? Strange.
