They are paying you to watch DISH? :biggrin

...screen back in the day and my brother n law didn't lock it down with the bungee cord in his flat bed truck and it went crashing down when he stopped at a stop sign. So we ended up throwing it away. :oops: *LOVE my LG OLED TV. Makes all other TVs that I have had look pale in comparison. ;)

Maybe they can offer the streaming version of their service and they won't need the satellites for home service except in very rural areas with no broadband. I keep saying merge both Sling TV and DISH together for a streaming interface that looks like DISH, but keep the Sling TV programming...

I loved the 942 dvrs. I had two of them back then and they worked very well. Then they did away with them. They had name based recording and worked great with mpeg 2. The 921 pvr was a nightmare for me and so was the 811 HD receiver. Kept both of them on a surge protector so I could flip...

I have to agree they need to focus on their video business since the 4th cell phone provider company plans are now gone. I think that could include buying Directv and merging the two companies and hopefully making it attractive again to new subs like they said in the article. I guess we...

Going backwards

I do. :biggrin

We don't have any in my immediate area. Conn's Appliances was a company most in our area relied on for over 75 years and they went belly up this last year. So it's between Lowes, Home Depot and Best Buy. Sears is long gone. Between all these big stores, they pushed out any small mom/pop...

There's a guy who is all about 3.0 on You tube and he said the sticking point is that the ota channels in 3.0 will use encryption, which doesn't allow recording them. The FCC has already told channel owners if they want to go to 3.0 and drop their 1.0 HD signal they can do so. But if we...

ma Maybe Charlie plans on buying up Directv and the satellites transponders by this time next year and then he gets all the transponders to himself. DISH will be in a better place to buy it by then and probably even has the money to do it without financing , once his deals with Space X and...

Lots of mpeg 4 compression. :rolleyes:

They sent the text message on the 7th, that the delivery date was set for the 24th. *I changed the wording in the original post to say that more clearly.

Here is the path forward I heard about. Sounds like Charlie is in in the cat bird seat for the future. Might not of happened if FCC Brendan Carr hadn't pressured him like he was doing. I think he will buy Directv now. But if no plan to make satellite TV more attractive to customers and...

Here is my experience with Best buy and buying a Dishwasher off their website. 1. On Sept 6, 2025 I bought a dishwasher off their website and paid for install and haul away of old dishwasher plus 3 years of warranty with the geek squad. 2. I received email confirmation and order number...

Glad I cancelled both Disney plus and Hulu because of Jimmy Kimmel. I wasn't watching either service that much anyway. Won't be resubscribing any time soon. Maybe once they offer yearly discounted deals during the holidays and end of year sales.

I always baby sit any workman I have to any service at my house. It is the only way to guarantee they don't do stupid crap like that installer did. I talk to them and ask questions and stay engaged the entire time they are at the house. It has worked for me over the years. Learned it from...

I remember that eastern arc went all mpeg 4 first and if you get 50 or higher it was a good signal. Eastern arc meter read like that compared to western arc. But that was before they went all mpeg 4 on western arc. So i don't know what western arc sats read now. We used to get like 51...

Wow. That is impressive. So does this mean they no longer need eastern arc sats? Or will they still operate the locals from both arcs still? I can't remember if they are still using that arc anymore or not.

I can see the DISH commercial now..... I gave my left nut to watch DISH ! And you will too, if you subscribe to DISH. :biggrin

But will there be any satellite customers past 2030? I mean the way customers are cutting the cord and going to streaming each year, they will run out of subs before they will run out of the need for the new satellites. Unless Charlie has a way to make satellite TV fun , exciting and needed...

So with $24 billion after all debt repayment, then Charlie could buy out right Directv and end up owning both satellite companies. IF he intends to stay in the video business. I heard on Cord Cutter news site that Echostar will announce it's future plans this week. So we might hear some...

I kind of liked the reference to a certain time traveling Doctor made by the engineer. That is the second time I have seen them mention Dr. Who. ;)

The ability to have as many streams that you can record and unlimited cloud DVR. Add 4 ota tuners and INCLUDE OTA GUIDE information like AIR TV does for free. Include the plus box in the receiver so you would have one interface to the TV for Everything. All your apps would be accessible...

They must of suspected him of doing something illegal if they asked him to leave the casino. It couldn't be their anger for DISH removing the red recording light. :biggrin

Till he got kicked out of the casino for counting cards. :smug
