Directv new dish

[danristheman]

Does directv have a new dish out this one is black dish with the word directv. Is it the same as the old slimeline?

same shape, just different paint.

I saw one yesterday on the way to work... like the older color better.

Are we going to see LNBs going bad sooner because of it ?
Black paint draws more heat ....

Marketing think 'black' is still in and couldn't care one iota how the color affects the equipment.

Doesn't look black to me.

 

[Drucifer]

Must agree, that ain't BLACK. But it still has the retired 'cyclone' and not the globe, so it ain't the latest either.

I believe it's the latest to this point. We're getting new wraps on our vans that completely removes anything directv. No decals at all say it. It's strictly Att with a blue swoop down the sides.

hutch, is that your dish? or just one you happen to see?

 

[Hutch1814]

Just one happen to see. Peds got the pic of the new wraps on the vans. Pretty dull IMO but then again, what do I know. I wouldn't have killed the directv brand. It's a known brand, why dismantle it?

A brand with ALOT of value too. But, AT&T has to slap their name on everything. 10 years ago Cingular was a pretty well known name, when the New AT&T merged with BellSouth, they got rid of it as well.

At the same time it was actually SBC that OWNED the company, they dropped the SBC for at&t because it was better known.

Yeah, that's why I said the New AT&T, Cingular was a joint venture with BellSouth.

Yes my Aunt got the new Black dish when she had DirecTV installed last week and I was like wtf and asked the installer if that is the new DirecTV dish and he said yes!!

 

[Claude Greiner]

Pretty soon they will have the att logo like the dish ones used to have

Kinda reminds me of the 60's - as it sorta looks a little bit like a paint job found on a surfer's van.
