    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    I have said before that Sling TV and DISH TV are under the same company. They could provide the satellite locals by streaming them to Sling customers and make the option to have them for the price that DISH charges. I have seen other streaming apps make premium channels available using their...

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    Well at 82 you usually aren't to picky about your channels anymore. My mom 83 and dad 85 just have it on to watch one or two channels and the news. It stays on more to have noise in the house.

    IF you leave DISH you will have to change your name to Streaming Dude. ;)

    Team Summit 2025 Announcements

    I like that idea. I had my diamond set for captions. I would of changed my double diamond to aspect ratios if I still had DISH. It would come in handy on SD channels that have black bars. I hate black bars.

    Resident Alien on SyFy/USA

    I like to record them till they are through and then watch them when I am ready. I can finish off the season in a week during the summer.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    I am seeing why I am watching less network TV now. I hate reality TV and Game shows. I lean towards scripted drama and comedy. Good thing we have streaming to fall back on for other things to watch.

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    Sling needs to be revamped and make it the Streaming version of DISH and keep the DISH interface, guides, etc and sell them at the Sling TV lower priced packs. You could then add the locals if you wanted to at the price they charge if you wanted them, using this interface or still use your...

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    What do you know that we don't know? I am curious how that would potentially work. Considering he is going to do a reorganization Bankruptcy that should wipe out most of his debt. So he would be a good risk for more debt to buy Directv after the Bankruptcy?

    Drama and Classics Pack?

    Good Idea for another pack to add for $6.00 a month. Add to Flex pack to save money and get more of what you want.

    Dish/Echostar 1st Quarter Report

    I think that Boost has the history of being a pre-paid phone company you have to keep paying on like a track phone for extra minutes etc. Now if they advertised a good cell phone plan like T mobile and other cell phone companies do , they might actually grow their company. Also I see you can...

    Dish/Echostar 1st Quarter Report

    But would Charlie want to sell off Boost and it's subscribers after all the money he sank into building the damn network for his cell phone company? IF he wants to get out of all debt and do that , wouldn't he be back where he started with just DISH satellite and Echostar? I don't see...

    Dish/Echostar 1st Quarter Report

    Looks like the only way out of DISH's mess is to go bankrupt and reorganize their debt. But the FCC might not let him continue to hoard all the spectrum he has that he is not using. He might have to sell it off to pay some of his debts or to keep Boost in business? As the Echostar World...

    How to keep ANTS out of my satellite dishes

    I actually live across the field from the Prison in the mobile home park. I can see the prison lights at night from my bathroom window in the distance. IF you are outside you can hear the Count time fog horn and when the count clears. At night they count like 4 times every hour and a half...

    How to keep ANTS out of my satellite dishes

    My sat dish was on a pole in the back yard. I used to pour gasoline on the nest and they are gone just like that. Want to be mean light them on fire too. :biggrin
