This is from Vizio, their sets (and most others) can detect what type of STB is plugged in to an HDMI port. I don't know of any cable or sat service that doesn't require a STB these days. I would like to see OTA broken out from cable/satellite.

That's not why, venture capitalists came in and sold all their assets off to a holding company they controlled and leased it back to Red Lobster. If they go bankrupt they don't care, they still hold all the assets.

Depends on the day, but overall I'd say it's slow. The guide can sometimes take a second or two to come up, but the DVR functions work great. It's fine overall, I don't have any problems with it. Apparently there are two different versions of Wallys and one has a faster processor.

I'd have to change my avatar!

That's why I have the Wally, it's a poor man's Hopper! Does all the same stuff. 4 tuners are enough, I can barely find one thing to watch at a time let alone 16!

So glad everything I watch is on YouTube. I'm still locked in at $7.99/mo from a promo in 2011.

I'm sure Dish would have loved to offer such a service (and did at the start in the mid 90's) but the content providers would never allow it. Their greed of forcing multiple channels of reruns into every package hastened their demise.

I wonder if this will come to the Wally, not that it matters I rarely ever lose signal.

Try leaving the batteries out overnight.

I believe you have to pay for 6 months.

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.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but the churn is going to have to slowdown at some point, they can't keep losing 200k-300k subscribers per quarter through the end of the decade. The bleeding doesn't seem to be slowing down.

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.

No issues here, everything is loading very quickly.

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

I have two services, Dish and YouTube Premium. I pay $80 for DIsh and $8 for the YT, guess which I watch more? There's just nothing left on traditional TV.

Do they spend anything on it now?

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.
