Thread: Volume Two, Show Ten

Have you been turbo charged yet? As the summer festival season and the entire country heats up with over 100 degree temperatures, so does the HD race from Dish Network and Directv. This week both companies have “turbo charged” their lineups and Scott and Bob are in the studio sweating it out as we cover all the turbo charging going on from both Directv and Dish Network. We close out this week’s show with some eastern arch news, and an honest opinion about the future of Dish as well as future expectations from Monday’s conference call. Like what you hear?

Great show guys!!

Maybe that was Charlie on the hot line wanting to tell you he was saving all of us money by yanking channels off of the air to get a better deal.

I agree Scott. That is getting old!!!

Great show!

Finally someone is calling out E* on their, "we're trying to save you money" lie.

Good stuff.

Great stuff!!!

I said all this yanking of the channels was getting old after the Lifetime dispute in 2006...yet, here we are reliving the sames issue with VOOM and GolTV being the latest iterations of, "Dish Network loves you...we're trying to save you money" crapola. Again, why is Dish Network the ONLY one having these problems? Are all the programmers (include VOOM and TiVo in that statement if you would like) out to get Dish Network? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize the problem is with Dish Network!

I don't recall whether DirecTV has ever had a dispute where they stopped carrying a channel, but TimeWarner dropped our local ABC station for about a week in 1999 over a contract dispute. Dish just seems more willing to do it than other providers.

"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize the problem is with Dish Network!"

Couldn't agree more.

At about 13:30 in the pod cast Bob asks Scott if GolTV is available on DirecTV and Scott says no it isn't.

Unless you're talking about a different GolTV DirecTV has it on channel 614, moving to channel 620 on 9/10/08.

Thank you Scott . . . it is bullcrap that they try to hide behind that "we tried to save you money" shield!

Great PodCast! Keep up the great job!
