I believe they added an linear AMC + network last week

De-orbit process of T7S should start on January 11.

Wasn’t D4S de-orbited a year ago?

All good things come to an end eventually. I expect DTV to stick around at least through 2026 though.

New info: Boeing will update operating procedures to other spacecraft of the same model to prevent SW1’s issue from occurring again AT&T will relocate one of its satellites to replace SW1 as backup I doubt the age of the satellite had any factor in what happened...

Oh yeah, I forgot about that sat having spot beam issues

The last time I recall them having a major problem with their spacecraft was with D6, which was hit by a solar flare...

Hoo boy, now I’m starting to see exactly why AT&T hates satellites... https://spacenews.com/directv-fears-explosion-risk-from-satellite-with-damaged-battery/

Yeah, it it doesn't make sense to upgrade if they're just gonna screw the service over a few years later.

Got a update from my friend. It’s the HR-54...R1.

Saw this receiver at a friends house. Definitely relatively new but I wasn’t able to get enough time to check for the model number, could somebody identify this?

3 Rivers (Montana) and BELD (Braintree) already have shut down their cable services.

You may be on to something.

Not surprised.

Because they’re Comcast. It’s dumb for a company to add apps that will convince a customer to leave the platform, there’s no defending that.

Why should DIRECTV add apps? That’ll only make their customers more likely to realize they can save a lot of money and ditch the service.

You do pay for those services, so it’s still pay TV. Free TV is mainly OTA. It’s traditional channel/schedule based television that’s dying. Once people were actually mostly happy watching what a programmer put on that time slot but something (which I believe to be channels spamming the same...

And looks like Comcast and other companies are actually against an a la carte plan.

Go with HR54.

I doubt AT&T will have much luck selling the service if they do, little people would be willing to buy a DBS service in this day and age.

AT&T-err, DeathStar then made yet another dumb move with the launch of T16. Could’ve put that money towards 5G or other services. That’s actually the only reason I’ve stayed on since DeathStar started running the service into the ground.

I meant myth as in 5G being dangerous. It's safe.

Pretty sure that's just a myth.

Not to mention the road damage it caused. But fixed wireless has it's problems too. Sure, it's cheaper for these companies to rollout, but the technology still isn't quite ready yet. Verizon's fixed 5G broadband isn't doing so well due to weak and spotty signal. Verizon says they can reach 1,000...

Yeah, sure. For some people, mainly urban areas.
