    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    I assume both companies would like to have the others subscribers to stave off failing as long as possible.

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    So IF he buys DIRECTV he should let them go broke and then buy them again for pennies on the dollar?

    Account verification

    They should make a passcode as an option. They are great when they are set up correctly.

    Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

    I noticed the 17 base models still don't get the full 10% discount.

    The FCC Will Allow ABC, CBS, FOX, & NBC TV Stations to Shutdown Free ATSC 1.0 & Switch to ATSC 3.0 Only

    I will have to check out the custom channel thing so thanks for that but as far as OTA I have no chance of ever getting my locals that way. I am 80 miles away from any local channels.

    Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

    Yeah no kidding. It seems weird Apple claims to have a 10% military discount but hold on...not on everything. LOL I contacted Apple to see why some are less than a 10% discount... The rep said: "The first reason I can think of is that it is not reflecting the correct pricing because it is...

    How many simultaneous streams are allowed? I think it’s 20, right?

    The number of streams on DIRECTV is unlimited from within your home account except for certain channels that limit the number of streams of their channel such as FOX as pointed out above. Nothing DIRECTV can do about that. About 90% of the time I am watching DIRECTV is via the app on my Apple TV...

    Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

    I never priced out the iPhones before today and when I did I only priced out the 17 Pro which does get the 10% discount. Also the 17 Air gets the 10% Discount. And as you said the 17 @ 256 gb gets the 6.6% discount while the 17 @ 512 gb gets like a 7.3% discount. Edit: Google tells me: While...

    Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

    Every Apple product I have bought with my military discount has been 10%. iMacs, AirPods, Watch, iPhone. Right now the iPhone 17 Pro Max bottom price is $1199. A 10% discount would be $119.90 bringing the price down to $1,079.10. In my cart the price is $1,079.00 so my discount is 10% plus 10¢...

    ESPN Unlimited

    As said before, “it won’t be available until later in the fall”. The event is on the 20th. Fall doesn’t start until the 22nd so it won’t be available to sat customers until sometime between 9/22 and 12/21. And even that might be iffy when it comes to DIRECTV.

    Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

    I just went through the ordering process for the Airpods 3 up to the point of paying for it and it allowed me to use the Apple Card but it doesn't apply the 3% discount so I think the answer is "no you can't get both discounts". Edit: I might be doing something wrong as I have never used the...

    Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

    If I go add something to the cart under my military discount it does show the Apple Card as a payment option with the 3% off but not 100% sure since I didn't complete the purchase to verify if you actually get both discounts. Edit to add: If add the Airpods Pro 3 to my cart for $224 (10% off)...

    Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

    I will get a set too but it is still kind of disappointing that battery life only goes from 6 hours from the 2 model to 8 hours in the 3 model. I have $10 earbuds that last at least 12 hours or longer.
