    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...

    CW600S Captive Works

    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...

    How things have changed

    It is bizarre that a discussiom on cable/sat sat numbers as a long term future trend can even become personal in the first place.

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

    At the end of the day..streaming will just be as expensive as cable...somehow someway the whole idea of keeping a service for a couple months..then dumping it..will be dealt with

    CW600S Captive Works

    my understanding is that tat receiver is limited to SD/MPEG2/DVB-S. It will still work on many channels on 97W Ku but that's about it at this point. So unless that's what you're interested in, I would suggest getting a new box

    Hello All I've been away (years) and my last receiver was a Captive Works CW600S. Is this receiver still OK or is it time to start looking at newer? Tnx

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 15

    Discovered a limitation with the iphone 15 shooting 3D Spatial Video. Normally with the spatial video off, the iphone 15 will do really good image stabilization but in 3D that does not work. Neither does the zoom feature. I was shooting hand held for the Hiro show but was seated in a...
