Yet another Briz-M failure. What is atypical is that it was a lower stage failure, and not the typical upper stage failure that the Briz-M is known for.
You have a misunderstanding about the law. Dish must attempt to carry all full power stations in a DMA. If the station elects Must Carry then it is the responsibility of the station to provide an acceptable signal to the POP. If a station elects re-transmission consent then Dish must act in good...
For all we know DirecTV could still be offering the Fox channels on a contract that was signed when News Corp. still had controlling interest in DirecTV. (BTW for those uneducated News Corp. is the parent company of FOX) If that is the case for all we know Fox could be giving away the channels...
You could run your Dishnetwork receiver internet traffic through a US based proxy. Then your receiver would appear to be in the US. I assume you want to take your receivers to Mexico on an extended vacation?
Well remember most birds have a 12 - 15 year expected useful life.
E3 was launched in 1997.
So E3 is 13 years old -+ a few months.
At least E3 didn't have all the issues E4 had (cue Sanford and Son theme)
Echo 8 does have spotbeams. The spotbeams might not be useful at 77w, but TPs 2,4,6,8, and 10 on E8 are spotbeam TPS.
The configuration of E8 is very similar to E7. 5 spotbeam TPs, the rest conus.
It is always a good idea when buying off of ebay to get the R00 number from the back of the receiver, and call dish to verify that it isn't a leased box, and that there isn't a balance owed on the box.
I have not had a bad experience with the Dish Audit Nazis, but my mom has.
About 2 years ago she got a call from the audit Nazis wanting receiver information. She explained that she just had knee surgery, and they would have to call back in the evening when my dad was home. They disconnected...
That idea would screw over SD only customers.
There are more SD only subs than there are HD subs.
What Dish should do is swap everyone to mpeg4 boxes that can downrez HD to SD.
Then eliminate SD channels what have a HD counterpart.
It might cost more $$$ upfront, but it will reduce...
The future Direct Tivo box is not to avoid litigation.
DirecTv bought ReplayTV, which besides having it's own patents has a cross licensing agreement with Tivo. So Tivo couldn't sue DirecTv even if they wanted to.
I have a cheapie audio sat finder. SF95 I think.
You have to get the dish close before you use it. Because they can't determine with bird you are pointed at. But a plumb mast, and a good compass, and the SF95 works well for peaking a dish.
Knowing Charlie another 6 SD channels.
Just be glad that Dish isn't sending SD channels in 352x240. If they were sending SD in 352x240 mpeg4 they could get 10-12 channels in that 6 megabits.
He still got his way.
While Dish was unable to sell distant networks, Dish was able to lease a TP to AAD to sell distant networks.
The arrangement with AAD actually made it possible for people who could not legally sub to distant networks through Dish could legally get distant networks on...
Why would D* sign an exclusive agreement with Tivo.
D* bought ReplayTV, owns the ReplayTV patents, and the cross-licensing between Tivo and ReplayTV.
Tivo would never sign an exclusive contract. Doing so would limit the number of houses they can be in. And that would not make financial...
