    So far, so good. Tried to think up a witty comment, but too tired, my brain is exhausted from house hunting.

    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...

    I know exactly why they're doing it, their greed destroyed themselves.

    Mine just showed up. Take a couple hours to restore from backup. Not expecting a lot, actually. I'm only going from a M1 Air to the M2 Air. We'll see....

    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...

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

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

    Totally agree, it got out of hand with the consolidation of only a few companies owning all the channels and then adding in multiple channels of the same thing. Do we really need 4 ESPNs, 3 FXs, 4 MTVs all showing the same crap programing that they force the providers to buy and stick in their...

    Dish Hopper 4 with much larger Hard drive???

    It hasn’t been divided into 2 1gig partitions for years. Years ago they moved PTAT to the user partition and went to 1.25 & .75 gig partitions

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

    I don't blame, Dish, Direct, or cable in most cases. The programmers are killing the golden goose. With everything doubling, there has to be some cut somewhere and with free OTA and streaming, the consumers are moving in that direction.

    They can stay afloat longer. Without the merge, neither may not exist in a few years.

    DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 5/8/2024

    Now that we've reached critical mass that almost all customers have been upgraded (or required to have) HD equipment, do you think we start seeing movement on turning off SD duplicates?

    Dish Hopper 4 with much larger Hard drive???

    My understanding when it was released was the prime time anytime is its own partition, and everything else is on a separate partition.

    can dvbdream be used for qam?

    Before you investigate what PVR software to use, you should investigate what content your tuner is going to yield. Clear QAM content (what you can tune with a TV or USB stick) is rare and conditional access schemes (such as CableCARD) are fading fast. My local Xfinity has maybe one or two clear...

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

    I am NOT blaming their frontline workforce, and in many cases they too were victims. On a different DiSH-oriented dealer board the guys on there would regularly ridicule DiSH CSRs and co.-direct installers. But the reason the CSRs did and acted as they did, in customer- (and dealer-) negative...

    Should you try a smaller antenna before buying a larger one?

    Bigger doesn't necessarily mean more expensive (outside of shipping costs). Your placement options have a lot more to do with what antenna is best for you. Putting the fanciest amplified antenna in an attic isn't going help much.

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

    What I don't see coming however, is those content providers closing up their direct to consumer shops and sticking with the middlemen. They will adjust, bundle and merge to find the right mix to create a sustainable business model. They aren't going back to only the middlemen, and as a result...
