Given the economy, Dish's flat subscriber base, ultra-competitive razor-tight profit margins in the Pay TV business, risky ventures into BlockBuster and Wireless technologies, ongoing battles with just about each and every programmer and, oh, top that off by a trail with Voom that may wind-up costing his company 15% of their net worth....no doubt he is stressed. As an outsider looking in, I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg (no disrespect intended towards our very own Iceberg) - his daily duties have to be equally challenging.

Well I see Blockbuster going bye bye for good. I said all along that DISH doesn't have the patience or the fortitude to keep a disc by mail service going and the streaming portion won't make it now either. Another opportunity dropped by DISH. Looks like the wireless idea is now gone too. What does that leave DISH now? Still satellite tv and only satellite tv. I think Charlie will now pivot to his internet only service for ala cart . Now I don't see it working any better than the other two ideas he has now scuttled. Especially since he has disputes with just about every company out there .

Since Dish is now vested in Roku Perhaps they will stream the BB library on Roku....a wireless platform that actually works
