    DISH Manipulates Federal Rules, Gets Billions in Discounts for Wireless Licenses

    Charlie gives to both Democrats and Republicans - all depending who is sympathetic to his agenda. More power to him. As for the auction, he did what's allowed (albeit on a scale that had not been seen before). The two entities he partnered with have a history of working with companies like...

    Existing Customer Offer .. FREE PS4

    DISH sent out an email after 5p central today detailing the plan. DISH retailers can access the document on Portal. There is no mention of any restrictions related to whether you previously received a free iPad/iPad mini. From what I can tell residential and commercial customers can...

    Pause time - hopper vs. 522

    What?? You can change the standby mode (and even disable it) by pressing the yellow button > diagnostics > updates. As for your Hopper defaulting to standby mode after watching a DVR event - I've never had that problem unless I've left my system unattended for 4 hours or it's trying to do it's...

    DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

    It took DISH the amount of time it takes to "flip a switch" to turn off Disney HD, DisneyXD HD, ABC Family HD, and ESPNews HD. What's taking so long to turn them back on? Is the switch rusted closed?

    DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

    Expect Nick Jr. and the Viacom channels to be added in HD when their contract is up (I have no idea when that is). D* and Viacom had a bloody negotiation process that resulted in all the Viacom channels being blacked out for a month before it was settled. Hopefully it won't go that way with...

    DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

    I've said since Day 1 that Auto-Hop was implemented to create leverage with content providers, it seems to have worked in this case. 3 days is no big deal. As a retailer I love Auto-Hop, but many potential customers get confused thinking that they can't FF through commercials on all the other...

    DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

    There has been a lot of variance between press releases. I would be surprised if DXD and the other "HD" concerns were not addressed. We'll see, but I expect them in HD posthaste.

    Dish Sets Stage for DirecTV Merger with Transfer of Satellites

    Correct. The last time they tried this DISH was the hunter and DTV was the prey. The plan at the time was that the DTV brand would survive (DISH brand would be retired) due to better brand awareness, but Echo would provide all the equipment. I'm not saying that roles wouldn't be reversed this...

    Olympics - On Demand

    On a Hopper I did a search for XXII Winter Olympics and it pulled right up that way. Could not easily find it by going straight to the On-Demand section though. However, I noticed that we now have the full NBC On-Demand (had not noticed that before so I'm assuming that's relatively new).

    Need for HWS?

    I have both a HWS and a H2K with a Sling Adapter. Love the flexibility of being able to view live programming on two devices simultaneously (lot's of kids!). One question for the group though .. does anyone know if a Sling Adapter will work with a Super Joey?

    Hopper with Sling - Xbox One - Few issues.

    I've been noticing the local channel issue for a couple of weeks. I can tell you that it has nothing to do with your XBOX (I don't have one) and it's effecting not only myself, but other customers of mine.

    Why Isn't This a Reality Yet?

    Why develop a new piece of hardware, manufacture it, carry inventory, and have to distribute when you can write an app that does the same thing? DISH is adding more and more functionality to their Explorer App - and I'll bet that's where you'll see that type of innovation.
