Not the case. I wish I could say more... but Stay Tuned.

I am sitting in the airport in Denver getting ready to head home in Connecticut.

This years Team Summit was one of the best, but not because of new products or channels, but this time around Dish listened. They fully admitted that have problems and were very willing to lend and ear and take notes on what they can do to become better. I applaud that.

Next years Team Summit will take place in San Antonio, Texas and it looks like we will have another SatelliteGuys event which will be on May 14th.

Stay Tuned.

MAN, you picked the week the Mrs. and I will be on a Mediterranean cruise - I was going to try to attend.

Maybe we can change the date of the cruise.

Book me in on the party in San Antonio next year.... I would love to be at the private meeting with Charlie!!!!!!

I think that Charlie is completely wrong about the computers vs. tv thing. The state of tv over the internet is changing almost on a daily basis and I think that eventually everyone will have some type of 'computer' capable of delivering internet video hooked up to their tv. These guys need to figure out a way to embrace this technology or they are going to go the way of the dinosaur.

I bought a $90 used PC from Ebay and connected it to my living room tv. Getting it on the home network took a little technical savy but after that it works very well and I can easily see this thing supplanting most of my tv viewing in the near future. The only thing that is missing for me is sports programming.

So are you viewing the stuff off your PC on a PC Monitor or HDTV?

**Jeff Blank** · 05-11-2009 02:33 PM

Scott,

Did you ever get an answer regarding 24/7 RSNs?

Jeff

You are proving Charlie's point. You want internet content, but delivered to your TV, not your computer monitor. He wants the 922 to supplant the home theater PC. We will give us an inexpensive way to have both.

I agree and as long as this isn't just lip service, this is a significant shift for Dish in the right direction.
