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

    Don't know if I've mentioned it before, but what I see is a tsunami of crap. It's basically that or sports, which is a crapstorm all of its own. Forget Newton Minow, the "vast wasteland" is more applicable today than ever. I'd ask here what's good to check out, but much or most of what gets...

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

    Big Business is considered political, because of all that comes with it, profits, taxes, jobs, outsourcing, support by one party over another. It is also quite hypocritical to criticize, since he uses big business, along with the negatives that comes with it as he describes, in his daily life...

    Its TEAM SUMMIT week!

    Yes next year in it in Anaheim, California at Disney Land. Just talked to someone else who went who echoed what our other reporter reported back, that 98% of everything there was Boost Mobile related. They talked about their Hughes Bundle and new government contact and that was about it for...

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

    People in Hollywood cost money. In general, hasn't television been on repeats since the 70s? They just keep changing the name of the show. You have: the hospital drama (St. Elsewhere -> ER -> Grey's Anatomy) the dead people drama (Quincy -> Bones) Self inclusive episode general premise drama...

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

    Greed is as old as mankind and included in the "deadly sins". To say that "greed is good," as per one famous movie line from the 80s, reduces it to simple profit motivation that drives capitalist economies, when in reality it's more complex- it's ultimately corrosive to commerce and usually...

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    Honestly, no, but I did find etymology of the word somewhat amusing: venue (n.) c. 1300, "a coming for the purpose of attack," from Old French venue "coming" (12c.), from fem. past participle of venir "to come," from Latin venire "to come" (from PIE root *gwa- "to go, come").

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

    Maybe they could "deal with it" like DiSH, DTV and some of the cables did, by paying people to switch to them on a 2-year contract.

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

    And what have you done that would be considered a innovation these days? Amazing how some will criticize a company with a $2.9 Trillion Market Cap, yet cannot explain what they could or have done better. It is easy to criticize, not so easy to provide a solution. By the way, enjoying my new...

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

    I truly dont understand your political point? Its big business doing what the do, just keep grabbing more money from everyone. Its classic collusion. Because if it wasnt, those companies could and would be profitable nearly overnight. If they charged what they did to ALL PROVIDERS the prices...

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

    Quit trying to put political points in your posts outside the pit, if you want to discuss those with me, I will do so in that part of this site, but injecting them outside of there, will result in getting a thread shut down by a mod. But I already answered the question on pricing, will Pay Live...

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

    I could be wrong,I have been once or twice in my life lol.....but at some point greed is going to kill the entertainment business period.At some point people will decide I can go sit in a chair and read a book much cheaper than watch the crap that's on tv.Perhaps even go touch grass lol...

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

    You keep missing the point......Its to eliminate any and all competition! Its pure collusion is what they are doing. Its just like outsourcing or flooding a market with cheap products. Have no competition, control all the content, then they control everything. Just admit thats what the plan is?

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

    I do not care about in 5 years, I care about now. But even if Pay Live TV services survive each of those next five years, the price will go up, for some services, maybe twice a year (Comcast, Charter and DirecTV had two increases in 2023) Will streaming go up also in each of those 5 years...

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

    But the point you keep missing. Is they must defeat the middle man before they can go all in with price hikes. Because where you going to go then? Ive never said it will happen overnight, give it 5 years, then watch out. Greed will be the driver of any and all programming.

    How things have changed

    Yes, especially considering all the personal attacks I have received, including one member bringing up the death of my wife as a way to attack.

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

    That has been posted here and elsewhere for a couple of years now, yet the gap in pricing keeps getting bigger between streaming and cable (especially with Comcast)/satellite ( even more with DirecTV) every year. I pay about $70 a month, get the vast majority of content from Paid Live TV (...

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    That was brought up at a different forum when the name was announced. Cute word play like that hardly ever seems to work out for a new service. Would of been so much better if Fox ( who is running the service as I said months ago) could of used Hulu Sports, but since that service is entirely...

    Agreed, when I did a search for it I was seeing sales info and threads on it dating back to 2006 so very long in the tooth. Time for an upgrade IMHO. ;) Maybe try one of these. :) https://hypermegasat.com/all-products/ols/products/amiko-mini-hd265-fta-receiver...
