"EchoStar stock scrambled higher early Monday following reports from Bloomberg late Friday that President Donald Trump urged the company to cut a deal with the Federal Communications Commission for its wireless spectrum licenses. Trump on Thursday met with EchoStar (SATS) Chairman Charlie Ergen...

Hasn't happened yet Scott, but if does this should protect them. John

" (Reuters) -EchoStar is considering a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing as the telecommunications services firm vies to shield its cache of wireless spectrum licenses from the threat of revocation by federal regulators, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the...

Downgrade your package to the basic package then if you aren't watching what you are paying for. You will probably save about 40 dollars a month on that

Actually if you just bought a 4K TV it should do the upscaling for you. If you have a 4K TV you might want to wait on buying the blurry player because supposedly a true 4K DVD player will be coming out at the end of this year

Yup, specifically Netflix and Amazon Prime. You can also find some 4K on YouTube, but for that you need to put it on a flash drive, and hook up to the TV What I don't like about DTV is they only support Samsung, and if you use the RVU features they still want to charge you as an extra receiver...

No, but I would be willing to pay a higher price for individual ala carte channels, then the whole price for 200 channels, 90% which I don't watch.

Since we only watch about 10 out of 200 channels, I am obviously attracted by the ala carte approach.

The Satellite or cable companies have been bundling packages where 90% of the content in those bundles are ignored by the customers. If they would either break down the bundles into smaller bundles, or offer ala carte type programming they would get more sympathy from me. McCain actually tried...

I really hope the AT&T/DTV merger doesn't happen. Also, I hope the Comcast and TWC deal doesn't happen either. we need more competition not less.

FYI, If you belong to AAA, they offer some excellent discounts for DTV

Talos4, if you were a previous DTV customer, and if you are coming back you might want to mention WBK22 which gives you free genie whole-home HD DVR upgrade for up to 4 rooms, free installation, 2014 included, plus 3 months premiums, and up to 200 dollars back for any early termination fee you...

I just reconnected with DTV. They gave me an HR-44 and 3 genie mini clients, and I could not be happier. Each mini effectively acts as a separate receiver, and the server is the HR-44 which all recorded programs can be viewed by each receiver. Another positive is the low foot print of the...

I left for a few months, just came back. I have an HR-44, and 3 mini Genie clients. Couldn't be happier with the technology and the low foot print of the receivers.

I had a "great deal" to sign up for XFinity triple play. After two months I was extremely unhappy that I left DirectTV. From HD quality, content, technology and everything else, DTV is light years away. A week ago DTV offered me a deal to come back which included free installation, equipment...
