quarterly report is out. Again ugly

I'm talking really out in the country. There is no way in hell their co-op could afford it (without federal/state grants) with the relatively few customers they have without charging monthly fees the customers could not afford . she reports, the typical 1/8- 1/4 mile entry to each home has...

They want to sell it because they are loaded up with debt, have the customer list, and things are going to get worse for satellite TV. Like selling a car because components are starting to fail but it still is usable. Both the federal and state governments are continuing to subsidize fiber...

Usually the vultures will slash and whack , sell off good parts and borrow on the rest with junk bonds. Everything aimed at sucking cash out of the corpse and leaving a dry shell. The last thing you want to be is a Directv employee. It would/will to be ugly. Sent from S10 Plus using the...

Not much since it expired a couple years ago and was renegotiated

A number of vpn providers support this feature. Special Modified Routers running on something like dd-wrt or tomato . All devices connecting thru that router have a simultaneous shared VPN connection Sent from S10 Plus using the SatelliteGuys app!

Customers dumped them after they got hit with the huge increase after the introductory promo pricing expired(since discontinued) . Both for satellite and their internet packages As the promo drops roll off over time, the arterial bleeding will slow.

I think Variety has it summed up well . I'm thinking it will be a dud when people look at the price of their plans and then see what they can get from other services that are not get locked into multiyear contracts...

It's 130+ km above geostationary (about 1/2 of desired displacement from geo-orbit) and moving west at about 1.68 degrees/day ( 145.8W now)

The low profit margin indicates they will be pressured to increase prices to improve margins. Sent from S10 Plus using the SatelliteGuys app!

They continue to bleed customers in the TV market. And the Group profit margins hover in the 6-7 percent range as compared to 20-35 percent in their other groups.

Both are correct. The 49-50 billion was cash payment. The other 19 billion was assuming payment of directv's debt service (bonds or whatever).

Their problem is they paid 69 billion for it. And regarding cash flow, we have yet to see how much more the free cash will decline. They can't sell it because they would have to write it down drastically to match future expectations. Best they can expect is that the rate of decline will slow...

FCC orders station groups to negotiate with AT&T in DirecTV dispute The Federal Communications Commission on Friday said it was directing broadcast station groups to go to the negotiating table over whether to allow local stations to air on AT&T Inc’s DirectTV after some consumers have been...

Some where around 96W they bumped it up to 239 KM above geostationary. Then in the last day or so - around 101 W - they bumped it up to 263 KM above geostationary and into a circular orbit +/- 8 KM. So, yes indeed, they first moved it east before starting the deorbit/reorbit process , giving...

Satellite TV is a cash cow that is used to support other businesses. Both at&t and dish are using the cash to support expansion in other business segments. I'd guess that the cash stream coming from DirecTV is worth more than they would get selling it off. It will be years before they shrink...

They did that in my city also. Had a disaster declaration and a tax holiday for business investment for 1 Year. It was like the California fire crews . Contractors showed up everywhere and 300,000 people ended up having overhead fiber available direct to their houses , all in less than a...
