| | | First Look: DISH 381 Receiver Just when I think I have seen it all my email box tonight was filled up with information on a new Satellite Receiver I have never heard of before.
Folks this one is a STRANGE receiver.
It's a HIGH DEFINITION receiver but the key is it does not receive Dish Network HD services!?!?!
This one sounds like a late April Fools Joke to me but I have received it from a few of my very trusted contacts which is why I am passing the info on to you. With that said I would not be surprised if we never see this receiver on the market. (At least I hope we never see it on the market)
Ladies and Gentleman... May I introduce to you the new DISH 381 receiver!

Isn't that just an 811? While I was typing this one, someone else was typing the same thing...It's just an 811. They had to do something with them!

I guess they found a use for all those old 811's.

Now we know what they are doing with all the 811's which are getting traded in.
This is a really dumb idea.
Dish just sell them for $50 each to EXPRESSVU!

I think this is advance planning on e*'s part.. The "analog" ota signals are set to "sunset" at some point..Most people will be forced to buy a "converter" to receive ota signals on their "analog" tv's. sooo not everyone can afford e*'s hd package or dont like satellite locals..sounds like a possible nifty marketing move on e*'s part
