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

    But you turned to the radio first- do you have radio dvr? Whomever has the science channel has already been at defunding it for awhile.

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    Hard to believe that just 2 years ago, in order to watch all the national games, I just needed my OTA antenna for CBS/FOX/NBC and Dish for NFL Network/ESPN games. (Amazon prime was optional because the games were also on FOX or NFL Network) Now to watch all the national games, I need...

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

    I remember one time when I woke up at 5AM to the sound of ducks quacking and things rattling. I thought: Was that an earthquake? Turned on the radio – yes it was. That’s the only time I can recall that it mattered to me whether the news was exactly live or delayed 10-15 minutes. (ie: long enough...

    Apple Event - May 7, 2024 (New iPads!)

    The new iPad has finally arrived. I love how thin and light it is! Installing it now. I got the case with the keyboard: it’s actually heavier than the iPad itself! I’ll need to get a very light protective case.

    It is hard, specially since you have the perfect house, yet cannot stand to live here any longer.

    Auto Racing 2024

    Mid-Ohio to Debut Hybrid Indycar This should be interesting. I'll have a front-row... well, back of the hill not quite by the Essess, but before that where the speed and visibility is better... seat for the debut. I think it is kind of nuts to switch the equipment mid-season.

    DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 5/8/2024

    I had completely forgotten that JetBlue still provides DirecTV. It's been years since I last flew them and I thought they would have moved to onboard IFE by now. United has been retrofitting their planes lately to remove DirecTV and add large IFE screens instead

    Dune (2020)

    Agreed. And no movie (not even the miniseries the Sci-Fi channel did, as it was known then) is going to get it right, but it's still fun to see what they come up with...

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

    All live tv is like that though. You could DVR the news. But by the time you watch it, anything important will show up on your phone beforehand.

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    You know, Xmas for me is a very trying time, emotionally and work wise. The last thing I want to do is sit down after I've finished all of the work, and watch 20 minutes of football actions stuffed into 3 hours of talk and commercials.

    Ok come on, house hunting isn't that hard..... houses are big things... if you can't shoot a house then we may need to talk. :D

    DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 5/8/2024

    Until Jet Blue retrofits their fleet to support HD along with any other bulk commercial customers, there will still be a need for SD duplicates. Then you got the contractual issues where certain channels will never agree to drop their SD duplicates as long as their major competitors are still...

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

    I wrote a report about this for my employer, but what I received in response was, no changes planned, going to ride the gravy train to the end. But they are expecting to shut down certain channels when they hit the unprofitable stage, when advertising revenue and per sub fees are not enough to...

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

    Telstar already addressed this. So, the only way to make things easier to cancel is…..lie to them? Still prefer the streaming services way, go to the site, make the changes with a click. How Sirius, Dish, DirecTV, Comcast, etc handle that type of thing is archaic in today’s world, probably...

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

    They need (want) that advertising money the channels bring in, plus those extra per sub fees, that helps to bring the bill up. The per sub fee might be $0.25 (or more), so not a lot, but then you have all of those extra channels plus all the rerun channels (where you can find the same content...

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

    YOu can short-circuit the cancellation by telling them you no longer have the vehicle or that it was totaled in an accident.
