    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    Afaik what you export from DiSH to external storage is yours to keep, indefinitely, for personal use. Likewise for shows you have the rx capture, as it would be from your subscribed/paid content. The only thing that seems unclear to me would be DiSH's forward-going interests as far as your...

    Future of C-band Radio Content Distribution

    C-band TVRO (been awhile since I've seen that term) has been gone for years now, hasn't it? I mean as a subscription service.

    Android TV on Hopper 3 Without Plus Upgrade?

    I have Android on my Sony TV. Though I generally avoid the googlesphere. Really sluggish navigating apps. Nest thermostat, too...man it's hard to avoid google

    What's still on c-band, particularly at such low power to need 10'?

    Satellite Direct magazine has folded

    I didn't know they had one. I do remember in the 80s when if someone asked what was on that thing you could toss a guide nearly an inch thick at them

    New Amazon show in production - Fallout

    The theaters are desperate for content, so maybe some of this can make its way to the cineplex to run alongside comics movies, vampires, zombies, godflix and gorefests.

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    I was surprised when they allowed DVR at all on a non-HDD rx.

    Space X to Merge with EchoStar?

    Maybe a ph. line as well, like in The Twilight Zone...?

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    Not exactly, as that would imply a unitary rx/HDD. To further the point, does connecting EHD to a 222 make for dual HD recording? Regardless, yes, there are definite constraints as far as using a 211- adding the EHD makes it DVR-capable, but only a single channel may be tuned at any time, either...

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    Wasn't the purpose of EHDs to add holding capacity, back-up & preserve recordings on a long scale such that if the rx goes kaput you don't lose them? Have there been any known system-initiated deletions of recordings from rx/dvr units (such as hopper and ViP)? Other than for the HD being filled up?

    Space X to Merge with EchoStar?

    You could have a granite dish, perpetually aimed between 110 and 119.

    FanDuel Sports Networks could possibly shutter soon

    Sports TV is under enough pressure now as it is without subsidizing a gambling industry.

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    You still need a wired connection back to hopper, right? Saturn went out of business, evidently along with its marketing model. I remember when states were bidding against each other to get saturn for a big economic and jobs boost. Anything still happening at the saturn plant? Illinois lost out...

    AI is coming for your TV

    That's why I don't connect DiSH to internet. Of course everyone can see where it's going, which is all to streaming, which is its own can of worms. So the "telescreens" that were everywhere in 1984 playing propaganda whilst spying on those they could see have arrived just a few decades late
