But with Red Lobster in bankruptcy, the option is there for Dish to absorb them like they did with Blockbuster. Fried shrimp and Dish supplied media just go hand in hand. ;)
And anyone that suggests Dish doesn't have the liquidity to absorb Red Lobster or that it is a different type of...
Geeks, Veronica Mars, Homicide: Life on the Street, Firefly, some of the best TV ever, only one of those shows made it to the end. And none of them were wildly successful ratings wise. Television success is a double edged sword because people want something new they've seen before. And with...
People in Hollywood cost money. In general, hasn't television been on repeats since the 70s? They just keep changing the name of the show.
You have:
the hospital drama (St. Elsewhere -> ER -> Grey's Anatomy)
the dead people drama (Quincy -> Bones)
Self inclusive episode general premise drama...
Well, the difference there was the private equity firm smothered the company in debt to buy Toys R Us. Ergen smothered Dish with debt to try and save it.
It doesn't need to be evil corp raises prices. It can be as simple as Amazon is spending a fortune to broadcast one stupid NFL game a week! I don't want my rates increasing for that. But we are, oddly enough, going back to bundling already, but it is a bit worse as it is more fragmented...
I rarely saw people leaving here because of customer service. Generally the angriest people were complaining about not getting a sweetheart deal. And if anything, Dish's chat team, both here and online was awesome!
On the other hand, lots of people here were churning for whatever 2 year deal they could get their hands on. It is hard to fight for customers to stay when they have no intention of staying at all.
- DVR killed ad rates
- Newer generation has weened away from Cable/Sat packages altogether
-...
What? Dish's problems aren't customer service. I'm still with Dish because they have allowed for cutting the costs without compromising all too much. Dish's problem is what everyone else is dealing with Cable/Sat wise and Charlie seeing the writing on the wall and loading up the company with a...
I've never heard a vegetarian say that. I did try to return a veggie burger at the Burger Priest in Ontario because it was too good to be a veggie burger, but it was.
I think the no revenue from this investment could be a bigger issue. I mean, yeah, the debt is bad, but if you have revenue, you generally get more options for rolling the debt. Dish's SEC filing stopped just short of saying they were going to need to talk to "Tony at the corner" about a loan...
Of course, if Dish isn't going to make money with their 5G system, it doesn't matter if they've deployed their service to 105% of the US population.
Admittedly, I just made this one up. :D
My general rule is when Scott pours out the gasoline and torches the web board on fire, that is the time to panic on Dish. But according to Dish's SEC filings, not some financial guru, but what Dish itself is saying, things are not looking great.
Indeed, $16 a share is still not that bad...
What is "That doesn't sound good?"
Regarding 5G however:
Well, that sounds better. But if they don't start making huge in-roads to monetizing that, it won't matter. I think one thing Dish needs to do is hire a competent advertiser. The one thing I wonder, they have proven the speed, but do...
It is a small time channel.
The odd thing is, they don't have MeTV. That'd be channel 19 (big one) and 6 (?). Apparently I get 35 with good strength and they've changed what they carry... again... so I need to add it to the channel list.
ME-TV Toons is on channel 35 in Cleveland area. What in the heck is channel 35?!
I get Hartford not getting it, but I don't get New Haven. A couple stone throws away.
Now that you say that, for my case, I had two races in the folder. One of them, an older event, was individually visible down the list of programming in the App. But the more recent event was not.
