    SatelliteGuys.US DishNetwork Uplink Activity Discussion - Week Ending 11/03/2007

    hmmm right up there with local weather on the 10's and the sever weather warning system... (actually I do not see why they could not spot beam it... move the Weather Channel to the spot beams... purchase x computers to run the weather on the 8 for covered areas within the spot beams...)

    AT&T moves ahead on Dish deal

    hard to predict the future... when I was an AT&T cable sub... (before the SBC take over or the sell out to comcast). They did have a price increase... which I felt was totally worth it... They fixed some of my complaints at the time in soft picture... (plus added internet). But also keep in...

    AT&T moves ahead on Dish deal

    Why are you all so negative? AT&T did more in my area for support and service when they bought out Jones inter cable. And when they sold the area to Comcast customer service sure was not the same... Guess what way I thought it went. I doubt what Dish offerers us to day will change for...

    CNBC reports that Tivo likely to win suit

    I see this ending up like the TV guide... except we will probably not be seeing the TIVO channel... If TIVO was smart... they would sell now. I really do not see a future for them with IPTV as most computers could time shift before TIVO... (Not to mention IPTV will be able to pump out shows...

    AT&T - DISH talks getting hot.

    Bankruptcies (What's your point?) Will agree with you here less innovation (Absolutely the opposite is true) Sorry but what has been innovated in the phone industry post AT&T breakup? un happy customers (Not true) Service where I live went way down hill... maybe your one of the few...

    Attention 625 Owners

    or one HD and three sd's Actually outside of TV1 RF output being non stereo (but oddly enough TV2's RF is) its been a solid receiver... What dish should do... IMO at least... rename SOON to ECS (Extra(or extended) Content Services)... Stack it in the guide... and allow us to pick what...

    Echostar Considers Spin Off

    I see this as something that will stagnate DISH and its innovation or creative ability's to push what can be done. This maybe a win for E*, and Dish network... might not be all that bad at first for us consumers... but looking down the road they will have to work 5 times as hard to stay a...

    SatelliteGuys.US DishNetwork Uplink Activity Discussion - Week Ending 09/22/2007

    You know I went and looked and D* 70 channel lineup... In my world... I could not count the 70 channels they have listed as HD... For me to count a channel HD... that channel should broadcast less then 25% up converted content. <end of story> "Marketing is a wonderful thing. Truth is...

    Whatever happened to the HD 'Locals' from a few years ago?

    Gosh you all should move up here... I get a whole 1 channel via digital... (and its just up converted sd until spring/summer of next year)... The other stations in my DMA do broadcast some digital... and even some HD... but way to many hills/trees in the way for me to hope of getting any...

    Need Advice: America's Choice 250, upgrading receiver and Insurance.

    something wrong with your 522? the 625 does have a larger HD... but dish uses the extra space for VOD stuff.... Ok it took a lot for me to call it stuff and not what I really think of it... both units have MOL 100 hours of user recording time. If you are looking for more space go HD and pay...
