    Multiple LMB options

    It looks like both of your dishes are motorized; why would you want to mount multiple LNB's?

    Multiple LMB options

    Team, Is anyone currently using multiple LMB’s on there FTA KU dish setup’s? Can anyone educate me on what the options would be for the mid east coast in the lower 48? Didn’t want to buy the extra equipment just to find out there are no combinations available. Thanks

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

    I have pointed this out before, my step father is 78 this year, streams everything, always has the newest cell phone (knows how to use it also), computer, tablet, etc. Age has nothing to do with it, it is just a issue with those who do not wish to learn, but that is usually not a age issue...

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

    Streaming will be the next senior seminar deal. 722 here as well. Uninterested in hopper, which probably contributed to my getting out of satellite dealing. My focus was on whole-house systems where there didn't need to be a receiver box at every TV set, or at any set.

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

    Similar aged MIL also has no problem with YTTV and really likes the price compared to Xfinity's live tv pricing. She also qualified for the ACP for her internet.With that subsidy ending we found Xfinity offered internet for only $10/month (including modem/router).Granted it's only 50 mbps but...

First I am 57 this year, worked my *** off for 30 years, money not a issue, first retired at 52, returned to work the year I turned 56, retired from the mouse a week ago, just accepted a new job with a Media Finance Group, doing the same thing I was...

    New Install, new equipment?

    The problem with a Direct and Dish merger is the equipment is completely incompatible so all subscribers of one service will need to be transitioned over to the other.

    New Install, new equipment?

    My H3 went out and ish replaced it with a refurbiahed H3. It has a sticker on it that says refurbished. In over a year , it has functioned perfectly. Plus, if it goes out, Dish can replace it again.

    Kyle Larson/Stock Car fans certain Larson has already won this, forget having rookie of race locked up. They never heard of Linus Lundquist and Marcus Armstrong. Larson is doing very well, much better than Johnson. I believe Donnie Alison is the best stock car performance at Indy. Finished 4th...

    Do you just glance at posts or pass over what they really say, here- No one posted what you are alluding to, immediately closing down, it is a process that a lot of failed businesses have gone throughout our history. How many businesses have failed and abandoned the building but still have...

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

    My 88 year old neighbor is quite comfortable using YTTV as her primary provider. She also makes good use of her Firestick remote's voice option for finding programs on other apps without a lot of manual searching. She tells it what she wants (big Naked & Afraid fan) and only needs a couple of...

    Of course it won't be that quick. More likely a series of cutbacks until there is no longer enough people to keep the service functional. Dropping program providers would be a likely first move along with call center layoffs. Discontinuing new subscriptions would be another early move in...

    Exactly... Our local seniors center has various level IT courses they offer regularly. The entry and intermediate courses are almost always fully booked. The advanced course less so, but is still always nearly fully booked. I used to teach all three levels, but my travel and now health...

    So, you think the minute they are not making money, its done .... ???? How many companies are currently out there NOT making money, but still operating ... plenty. Not Making money and "Going out of Business" is two entirely different things.

    It is predicted to increase for Cable/Satellite for the next few years. DirecTV (company) is losing over 500,000 a quarter, confirmed here- DIRECTV's video subscriber base (combined DIRECTV, U-verse, DIRECTV STREAM) is the second largest traditional multi-channel video programming distributor...

    Irrelevant... At some point the Orby folks decided the service was not financially viable and they shut it down. Dish could very well do the same thing given Echostar's precarious financial condition. Large and small companies have shut down losing services, products, or divisions regularly...

    Yes it will, do you actually believe when the company is losing money, no hope for a turn around, they will keep service up just so not to hurt the subscribers left? Not how business economics works.

    Oh, I'll admit they seem to have by FAR the best tech team, and a nice device. I just think it's overpriced by at least triple what it's worth.
