Sports bars pay D* a heck of a lot more than $160 for the MLB package . . . don't forget to take that into account.

You are only looking at RESIDENTIAL customers. Consider the much higher rate paid by the COMMERCIAL customers, sports bars and such. They already have a large number of such customers who pay a much higher rate for the NFL package, now they can also offer them baseball as an exclusive, at a...

One of my wife's coworkers is named Candy Barr. Nice parents, I bet.

The original poster stated that he specifically asked, and the CSR specifically answered "YES". Shame that a business has to be so dishonest that you can't rely on a single thing they say, eh?

Yes, it is lying and unethical. Just subscribe to SkyAngel and repent at Church on Sunday and the Lord will never notice. :cool:

FYI, Dish ALREADY lost the lawsuit by Tivo, now they're appealing the loss. :rolleyes: Keep trying with those pom poms, though. They look good on you.:up

If you are going to take the time to set up such a thing, at least understand what you are typing. This is an idiot list. There is no such thing as a "local distant channel". Think, people. Think.

Yup. You nailed that one. FYI, Charlie Ergen is a lawyer's wet dream - he likes to use litigation as a standard tool of everyday business instead of an infrequent, last-ditch means to settle critical disputes. I've been fortunate to have a few business clients like that to keep me busy on a...

They can't do this because of a little thing called COPYRIGHT LAW, you know, the people who own the programming. Without their permission, its still a violation - charging money for it or not makes no difference. Its clear that you don't even have the tiniest bit of understanding what the...

Actually, that is a common misperception. The context of that quote from Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part 2 was that IF YOU WANT TO OVERTHROW ORDERLY SOCIETY - first kill all the lawyers. The anarchists did not want any learned and informed opposition to the rebellion they had planned againstthe...

No, its actually going DOWN the judicial chain, not up it. Magistrates handle more of the "relatively" minor, administrative tasks assigned to them by the judge. The magistrate cannot enter an order by themselves, they submit findings and conclusions to the judge, and the judge 99.9 percent...

Missing a point here: there is NO NEED to expand the previous injunction to include NPS, the court can prohibit E* from having its transponders used to carry any DNS signal, including that leased tranponder that E* owns but is now trying to lease to NPS. NPS isn't precluded from offering DNS...

No, the letter between the parties specifically says that the purpose of the lease of the transponder is for the provision of DNS. The intention and purpose of its use is clear. Now you're just making things up. Don't throw out a hopeful assumption as fact.

Eh, what do I know about legal standards, I'm only a lawyer in real life. Let NPS put any other programming on E*'s transponders and they'll be fine. DNS by and through an E* asset, and its toast. Your bias won't make it otherwise.

Wrong, E* is in fact getting paid for the lease of its transponders for purposes of broadcast of DNS. That is what violates the court's Order. If NPS wants to lease transponder space and put up HBO, for example, it can do so. But it cannot broadcast DNS over an E* asset while E* is getting...
