    Last & Next Movie Watched

    MI. Wasn't crazy about it, and it proved my instinct prescient. Was hoping to still catch The Phoenician Affair

    Miami WPLG & ABC parting ways & WSVN becomes new ABC affiliate putting it on its 7.2 subchannel while maintaining FOX

    ABC seems to have been schluffed off in a # of markets to become a subchannel of an NBC or other. Is it a dying net?

    Dish Change Question

    When they came out with that plastic 'Y' for the Dish 500 I was shocked, and sure it would disintegrate in the sun, as I had seen previous such (c-band) sat gear do. But they held up. And I guess the lnbf's were always plastic-cladded and they held up for the most part as well...Polymer science...

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    Maybe there's a backchannel deal in the works for trump to use boost. Charlie schmoozes both sides of the spectrum. Is trump's desk phone really orange, or is this a website's little jab? https://www.fierce-network.com/wireless/heres-latest-echostars-meeting-trump-and-carr

    Transmitting signal from satellite by 2 W laser

    Right, when does the Jewish collaboration connection come in? What is "atmospheric turbulence"? I've never heard of "the atmosphere" affecting sat comms, other than rain and Ku. A t-storm won't affect laser?

    Danger Pay?

    Need to stop, stand ground, make noise, display aggression. Their instinct is to chase & attack fleeing prey, same as dogs.

    Has my Hopper 3 Bit the dust? Will my Timers carry over?

    The remote actually changes rx settings and initiates timers by itself? Also don't get why DiSH is actually sending a servicer like they always should but don't. They have always just relied on torturing the cx to do his own rx swap and then dealing with any ensuing issues if/when they get a...

    DIRECTV Satellite is not currently available for new customers in your area

    That's only to be expected. What matters from them is a solid mounting that won't leak. And perhaps better than if there would be signal enough to come on but then not be reliable. Always expect to re-peak.

    METV Toon is Coming June 30th!

    Seems like a no-brainer, especially given how popular the cartoon network ch. was before it was progressively decimated by its ownerships. Even if they don't do any original content, it has to be better than what that ch. now is. Any deal with charlie?

    Zoomer Radio

    740 AM. Actually comes in on skip here sometimes, and yes, you can still experience the struggle to pick up distant stations at night on skip. CFZM. The Z pronounced "zed," of course. Has a wide variety of oldies-interest shows, even an "after midnight" featuring old risque tunes. Yes, they call...

    Team Summit 2025 Announcements

    Wasn't there more in this thread? I remember commenting that in my admittedly brief experience with the 54 remote, it's horrible. Still using 20.1 on the daily for 722, still great

    Dish/Echostar 1st Quarter Report

    But the tv service isn't insolvent. The trouble is coming from something that isn't "running"- c's overleveraging on auctioned spectrum that came with requirements he has failed to fulfill. Remember he was always taunting telling the dealers "Follow the rules, get paid. Don't follow the rules...

    Dish/Echostar 1st Quarter Report

    Right, but BK proceedings take time, sometimes a lot of time before approval of restructuring and asset allocation. So right now he's probably trying to stretch out as far as possible the start of all of that

    ESPN actively planning to offer linear feed directly to consumers, has deals with two leagues

    So what they do is make junk tv they can re-run 1000x to make $ from the commercials. But how much does it cost to run old movies? At least there's still American Movie Classics.
