I really enjoyed watching the Yankees with Billy Martin and Orioles with Earl Weaver playing against each other. Back then they both smoked in dugout during game. There was nothing more entertaining than watching Weaver chew out a umpire.

When I started working for a grocery chain in 1971 at age 16 , being tardy was not tolerated and taking sick days just for the hell of it were not either.. When I left the job in 2005 people were showing up late all the time, and calling in sick all the time with no, or very little consequences...

Its SWM, your statement sounds stupid. When you sign a 2yr agreement, its a 2 yr agreement.

I believe Grady is still in business. His son runs the business

Back before Directv & Dish, customers on C-band could pick and choose. Even when Dish first launched, it had a pick ten channel pkg fpr $20. A handful of channels drive up the cost everyone ( mostly sports). So it can be done, if there is a big consumer demand for it

The best way to end all this bull sh*t is to have alarcate pricing, then the customer could choose what they want and whether its worth it.These frigin programmers are just to greedy. 90% of the channels are just crap anyways.

Colbert is a very funny guy. He tends to lean to the left alot making fun at right leaning politicians always using a little distortion for his routine. He did the same with DISH saying signals disapear with clouds, taking the cable tv side. The fact is the DISHs service if installed properly...

Looks like we are going to be getting our last two local channels( Portland Maine ) switched from Mpeg2 standard to Mpeg4 HD

DISH Networks system is a full function whole home dvr, which means you can pause anything live or recorded.

Sports Networks aren't greedy. Its what the professional athletes are getting paid thats driving up the cost. People who dislike sports should not be subsidizing the outrageous salaries profesional atheletes are getting by being forced higher pay tv prices.

I would encourage everyone to write to their US Senators and Congressional Reps about the high cost of TV due to professional sports. For those of you who dislike sports, how do you like supporting those multi million dollar salaries atheletes get paid, by paying for those expensive sports channels?

We are facing the same thing here with our Fox affiliate which is owned by Max Media. Max Media is asking for a 270% increase for our FOX 23. If Dish just paid every programmer what they asked, no one could afford to watch tv. Its very unfair for these local networks who are protected by laws...

In the last several years DISH has bettered their packages. FX and Fox News were put into Top120 from Top 200. Just recently National Geographic was mved from Top 250 to Top 200. DISH Network has the best options over all their competitors when in comes to choices.

what is GMC?

exactly, i've got a nice epson 1080p projector. i would pay for one of these if the price was between $200-$300.

Do you need a 3d blue ray player, or will a regular blue ray player work?

I just saw a video on You Tube using this unit with a Epson HC 8100 projector. If this really offers decent 3d on my epson, i may be very interested when the price drops a bit.

I think a better plan would let a alacarte service start evolving. All programmers who would want to be a part of it could be available at alacarte pricing. Granted some of the bigger channels might not want to participate at first, but if they could get more money they may think differently...

As a DISH retailer he better give me a 12 to 24 month heads up if hes planning on dropping our RSNs. He will loose 2/3rds of his New England customers if the Redsox, Bruins and Celtics disapear from DISH network.

If I was a die hard fan such as you I'd upgrade to Top 250, then go back to current pkg after team is eliminated. Your cost would be prorated and it will cost you a $5 downgrade fee when you return to cheaper pkg.

When I signed up the brochure I was given said $24.99, how can they up my bill $5, before 12 months is up?

For those of you threatning to leave DISH. What is wrong with you? Is TV your only thing in life. If DISH just caved in and raised their rates, you'd be complaining about that also. FOX Sports has no interest in what you pay each month. They've got you hooked on sports like drugs. DISH Network...

Why is DISH always the villan? In the current dispute Fox is asking for higher prices for its channels. DISH Network is tring to keep its prices lower for customers. FOX is the villan here, direct your anger towards them.

Thats the million dollar question, for which I've seen no answer as of yet. Whats the bird going to be used for?

If they are moving core Hd and premiums and PPV to 72.7. Whats the new sat ( Echo15) going to be used for?
