    I would not say that DiSH at any time "had a worse piracy problem" than DTV, which was for certain period in the 90s basically wide open to hacking through smart card attacks. Charlie would regularly denounce DTV CEOs for allowing it to continue, which he considered to be a robber of business...

    System Update - Software Update

    It just looks like a lot of login spamming from all over, but to what ends?

    System Update - Software Update

    Looks like effectively some kind of DDOS barrage. But what could be the purpose?

    And all the time self installed? Hm, that must have been the rare big-box store that DiSH was in back then. Charlie desperately wanted to be in all of them but DTV had locked up exclusives.

    The Original Theatrical Cut of ‘Star Wars’ Is Coming Back to Theaters

    I'd never heard of any kind of edit occurring during the initial run. That would be really unusual, and you'd think it'd have to be for some very significant reason...

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    In Europe last summer I observed that many the public loos are pay. You have to drop your euros into a slot for the turnstile to admit you, and there is an attendant on duty. I suppose this helps to raise revenue but it's likely also serves maintain orderliness and cleanliness.

    Quick question

    I nominate the DiSH Network ViP722(k) as the best home satellite receiver of all time. Especially considering its longevity in service and innovative design (I think it actually won some kind of award). DiSH was the tech, DVR & HD leader and 722 culminated the HD revolution.
