    Dish Sheds 334,000 TV Subscribers in Q4, Taking a Hit From HBO and Univision Blackouts

    If DISH went out of business and DTV stopped offering programming over satellite, cband would have to allow DTH subs again due to the anti-trust laws, correct?

    Dish Sheds 334,000 TV Subscribers in Q4, Taking a Hit From HBO and Univision Blackouts

    I spent 3 weeks in Poland last year. About 99% of the population has access to over 30 channels of high quality programming DVB-T (many channels in HD) OTA free channels using a simple outdoor UHF antenna. It the cities you only need an indoor antenna in most cases. If you want to put up a Ku...

    Dish Sheds 334,000 TV Subscribers in Q4, Taking a Hit From HBO and Univision Blackouts

    And I think T-Mobile has every right to call out DISH on their spectrum hoarding tactics. T-Mobile has put their money where their mouth is. Once they won those 600 MHz licenses, they immediately started building out, and are continuing to build out at a break neck pace! Spectrum is a finite...

    Dish Sheds 334,000 TV Subscribers in Q4, Taking a Hit From HBO and Univision Blackouts

    I hope they can keep it going for rural and elderly subscribers. My parents (in mid 80's) would never be able to figure out how to run a streaming box. And even if they could, the available Internet connections where they live are not conducive to HD streaming. Only about 3 channels are 100%...

    Don't count on it... T-Mobile's Legere Calls Dish a Spectrum Hoarder | Light Reading DISH is/has been doing the absolute bare minimum to keep their spectrum licenses. Building out a nationwide IoT network and/or a full 5G network just doesn't make a lot of sense. ATT and Verizon have still...

    Why did DISH move Polish channels off 61.5 !?!?!?

    I was wondering if anyone knows why DISH recently moved the Polish channels off 61.5? Those channels have been on 61.5 forever it seems... I had my mother in law all set up on 61.5/110/119 with a DP34. She mainly watches the Polish language channels because that is her first language. When...

    DVR Fees ? I don't get it. Answer please

    I second that... I could not agree with Anony55 more. This is the best part of Dish in my opinion. $40 one time "DVR" fee for all the receivers currently on my account or any more which I may add in the future. The only company who has a better DVR deal is Bell TV which does not charge...
