The problem with a Direct and Dish merger is the equipment is completely incompatible so all subscribers of one service will need to be transitioned over to the other.

I'm not saying it's a viable business long term, but I think it has a few more years left in it. I'm 50/50 on if they're still around at the end of the decade...but I'm confident they'll be around the next 2-3 years.

If there's cashflow, someone will step in. Maybe Eddie Lampert is looking for another business to finish running into the ground?

Well, there wasn't much to restart! Dish is still viable, I'm confident it'll keep operating under different ownership or a restructuring for a few more years.

I knew they were selling the headquarters, didn't realize it was to a company Charlie controls. 🤔 https://www.9news.com/article/money/business/dish-wireless-littleton-colorado-headquarters-sold/73-acc579bd-76bf-4522-8719-06297a6a355d

I'd think it would be a 622.

Dish Network is not going away anytime soon, it still is a viable business on it's own. Some capital venture company might end up with it, but it won't just close up shop. Heck, someone even tried to restart Orby.

$5/mo savings? Charlie really pulled a rabbit out of his hat!

I know exactly why they're doing it, their greed destroyed themselves.

Totally agree, it got out of hand with the consolidation of only a few companies owning all the channels and then adding in multiple channels of the same thing. Do we really need 4 ESPNs, 3 FXs, 4 MTVs all showing the same crap programing that they force the providers to buy and stick in their...

One of those books where chapter 7 comes after chapter 11.

I'd think a large pool of Dish customers are older and don't know how to stream or pay bills online.

Sounds like he's in quite the pickle.

Sandy Hook and 1/6 are two memorable news events I recall disrupting my work day.

Really the only reason I still have Dish. I work from home and the TV is on cable news all day in the background on mute unless something earth shattering happens. Have a Wally with OTA adapter so I pay zero fees and nothing for locals, which is the only reason it makes sense to keep it.

They're still losing north of 200k a quarter.

Ouch. How is Sling losing subs?

Took the first 501 that came in home with me, haven't watched live TV since.

This is partially why people are dropping cable and satellite service, you pay big money to watch reruns and annoying commercials.

With a Wally, there are still a number of live streams you can view on DishAnywhere much like Sling.

Edwin95 what are you trying to accomplish here? Maybe if we know the motivation we can help. The receiver sends 24v up to the LNB, yes it can shock you but not enough to hurt you just enough to be annoying. If you have a powered switch like an old SW64, the amperage it sends up is even higher.

This guy again...he's obsessed with an install he had done in 2002.

Whoever said Charlie was a cheapskate?

But he bought Twitter...lol

Yeah I thought that was really strange about News Nation. I guess they're still operating under the WGN contract.
