    New Genie UI now in CE testing

    If you knew and understood who has started and ran what at all the forums, you’d know that dbstalk is not at all dbstalk2. If it was, it never would needed to have been created in the first place. And if you noticed, no ce was ever actually announced at all. Which was specifically said as...

    DIRECTV in Las Vegas

    Lots of areas here have either 30 or 60. Not 150. But maybe someday...

    Encoding, bandwidth, oh my...

    All the ad boxes on people's homes can't decode a mpeg4 signal so that can't switch to mpeg4 for ad without replacing everyone's boxes. When that happens they will just go to Hi Definition only or as if Hi Definition isn't available. There won't be an Hi Definition and an ad version of the same...

    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    There is one coming. It's not out yet. And it looks like it may be more than 13 tuners too... I'd wait for that one.

    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    DIRECTV has a server client based system now. The question is if they will allow more or bigger servers.

    Why doesn't DirecTV use all of the transponders?

    Someone might have a better distance number but I believe You have about a half mile to each side or so of dead center of a orbital slot and a dish down on earth won't really know the difference.

    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    Well can you say if it's any different then say a hr54 and just has different branding on it? Or is it more than that?

    B-Band Converters again

    Am21 was brought out for the HR21 it wasn't years latter. It was always planned that way when they decided to go that route. I'll bet less than 5% of subs use it. Heck NO SD customers do.

    C41 vs C61 for non 4K TV

    I don't think I'd do that personally.... It's got a lot more going on and I don't think it has more power than a c41 or c51. It's got an entirely different set of processor stuff for hvec decoding...

    DIRECTV SD Service on CRT HDTV

    For the cost of anything you'd buy you can likely get moved to Hi Definition service for less and it wouldn't be a lump sum up front it'd be small if any at all over time. As to your question on changining res there are a few tvs that have been made that can do it but most don't. The best I...

    Rumor Alert

    Pac 12 Network hope

    This is a little different since att is a major sponsor for pac12. That's not the case with other channels either is missing so I have a feeling most of the rest will happen through natural contract negotiations and not simply happen right now due to the merger like this one could.

    Pac 12 Network hope

    Actually check the post above yours. They did for a short bit. But only nationals. Locals have never been lite.

    What would happen if DISH drops Viacom?

    Dish will do as DIRECTV did and. It hesitate to drop them. The question is will Viacom come back eventually and go with what dish wants like they did with DIRECTV. I am guessing yes.
