    The Apple Watch's New Hypertension Feature

    How about stress? Could it measure cortisol, as you stress over health notifications?

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    DTV could be a good investment if cheap enough. C. could use the combined (remaining) customer base to negotiate lower programming rates, and just play it (& DiSH) out to wherever their ends are whilst growing his mobile base.

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    I'm not much concerned about my TV, in the greater scheme. I have DiSH and a 722k and that's all I need from DiSH

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    But it wasn't supposed to work that way. The spectrum was to be utilized, not simply held as some kind of appreciating asset to eventually sell on. The only thing that makes this remotely kosher would be that echo/boost is effectively entering into a joint arrangement with musk whereby it will...

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    This simply, if that word can be used, adds satellite to Boost, in similar or same manner as with, what is it, T-Mobile?, now advertising cell service with sat. So I would guess that in a way, even though the spectrum is sold, charlie's still employing it by continuing with boost including using...

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    Their press release says they had envisioned using the spectrum for satellite all along? And yet did nothing that would deploy it from space until now selling to elon musk to do it? And this is all legal because musk is a friend of the president....

    Where can I find an old Dishplayer 7100?

    I had a couple customers with dishplayers and I really loathed that thing. Not all that good at internet and downright crappy as a sat receiver. Just very offputting to operate, especially for a servicer. I guess the idea was to marry the new internet thing with the old TV thing, but it wasn't a...

    16 years of Dish comes to an end

    I find newer content generally less watchable. Really, most of this crap I wonder how people can watch it, let alone enjoy it as they say they do.

    16 years of Dish comes to an end

    So now they've gone down to offering a day-by-day service on Sling, only to have it help speed up their DBS demise.

    Sling TV Launches Industry-First $4.99 Day Pass

    So, I've recently been checking out the Sling Freestream app and have found quite a bit of 'limited" content such as a watered-down version of Fox News that apparently has its own production separate from the regular channel (and it always seems to be what the app starts you out on.). But have...

    Dish Installs

    So this seems to tell me that DiSH is undercutting DiSH Boost Mobile locations with their own direct-to-subscriber Boost marketing at lower rates. Very familiar, this is essentially what they did to the dealers instead of making referrals to them. Their whole mantra was just get activations, the...
