    Dish reviewing its ad agency amid floundering of Spokeslistener

    OOH, do you remember the short-lived 3D-animated mascot that Dish introduced in mid-2003 as part of their new ad campaign? Basically they turned the Dish 500 antenna (with a Legacy LNBF) into a anthropomorphic spokesantenna called (looks like I made a new word, "spokesantenna", lol), with their...

    The Dish Network User Interface Thread

    The Dish Network User Interface Thread

What the DishPro receivers 301 and 311 actually have in common was the OpenTV Dish Interactive UI that they have, previously rolled out to 3900...

The photo of the guide that I posted was from...
