    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    They have said for the last year that the rural areas are what will be a boogaboo, because of covering less dense areas. Less dense and rural are pretty much the same thing. Rural areas are not full of a large population like cities like L.A. California. "DISH has a deadline of mid-June 2025...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    IF DISH doesn't meet the 75% deadline to build out their cell phone company in June of next year they can lose all the spectrum that they have paid for up to now. But they need lots of money to finish the build out of the towers in rural areas, so it all comes back to money. I don't see them...

    I'm ready to Cancel Dish because of those Burger King Commercials.

    I just don't want to see people taking care of their personal hygiene needs on TV while I am eating, thank you very much. Like the commercial for Lumi body deodorant that was playing non stop for a while back. For "Pitts, underboob, private parts" and the male version Mando so you can...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Wonder if they tried to work some kind of deal with Amazon or Google? Or put their bandwidth up as collateral for another loan to get better payments or interest rates? There has to be someone that would step in if they could get a percentage of ownership of the stock. But Charlie doesn't do...

    I'm ready to Cancel Dish because of those Burger King Commercials.

    The latest commercial that gets me is the one with a black woman in her underwear telling the audience that more than her pits stink. Then at the end they say over the commercial "From your pitts to your ..." then they show the same woman spraying her crotch and you hear spraying sounds. I...

    Please DISH get METV back!

    They need to use the Air TV guide for all ota channels if they don't want to maintain the ota channels and sub channel guide information on the satellite.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Sling TV is losing because of many factors. There guide is cluttered and you have to use an antenna to get your ota stations for free. Not all local networks are offered in all areas. Also many people have decided they don't need live TV like satellite and cable provides. You Tube TV is...

    Autoplay - how to turn it off?

    This feature works much like Netflix when you end an episode and the next one is up in 5 ,4 ,3,2,1 Plays. I see this on just about all the streaming services with multiple episodes. It is like a binge feature. You can alway hit stop when it appears on the right hand side of the screen and it...

    Please DISH get METV back!

    Since DISH and SLING TV are both owned by Dishnetwork and now Echostar why can't DISH use the same guide information as the Air Tv does? I get complete guide information for all my ota channels using the Air Tv Anywhere 4 tuner ota device and I can use Sling tv with it all in one guide. It's...

    Traditional Providers Losses, 1st Quarter 2024 Edition

    You know I have seen Spectrum use orange coax before and I know that ATT fiber uses it too. I wonder if he is using ATT fiber instead? Either way that coax has been not buried going back to last summer.
