D. Charlie will announce the sale of Dish Network to Halliburton, its new exclusive no bid contract to supply programming to military families and military installations throughout the world and his own new position as the Pentagon's Chief Communications Misinformation Officer.

Dish gives the guy what he wants after complaining and he still cancels to go to Direct TV. With his reasoning abilities, judgement, communication skill as evidenced by his spelling and punctuation aplumb he could just be an equivalent replacement for the man in White House after graduation. :)

Yawn. All of this posturing over new customer signup deals is silly. What always matters is the non-special monthly cost after the new subscriber deal ends. I'd like to see someone list a clear comparison of Dish vs. Direct monthly cost for full HD programming and all fees with a HD DVR...

I believe all the major cable news-information-propaganda-entertainment channels will be in HD by year's end.

I deleted mine without watching. Dish needs to realize this sort of thing just annoys the subscribers. It is not seen as a valued service by most. Boxing is such an idiotic "sport" anyway -- two humans trying to beat the crap out of each other with their hands. They might as well show...

DirectTV has been claiming in one form or another that lots of HD channels are "coming soon" for a couple of years now. Yawn. The current DirectTV promise of a "surge" in HD channels to quell the "HD insurgents" demanding more HD content is likely to be just another ineffective and failed...

Cinemax HD is obviously coming reasonably soon. Patience is a virtue.

The update came through for me overnight in Rancho Cucamonga. So far everything seeks to work OK, tho I haven't really given it a full workout. I don't use OTA.

I love my 622. It's insanely better than the HD-DVR piece of crap I had with Charter Cable.

Had sync problem with House this week. The feed adjusted itself three times and finally the problem was fixed. Idon't know what's up with Fox.

Cinemax HD has been available for some time. When will Dish add it? "V For Vendetta" has been running on Cinemax lately and it sure would have been nice to watch it in HD.

Dish would sell a boatload of these "external storage devices" if they'd hurry the hell up and make them available. I've been out of the loop for awhile. Is this thing going to be a proprietary enclosure that we can slam our own bare drives into or is it going to include the drive? I'd...

The new sets have dropped in price dramatically over the past two years -- I'd suggest trading up -- works with wives and should work for your display! I have a rear projection Sony LCD with no burn-in whatsoever.

I enjoy most all HD content and I enjoy watching the various news channels, even Faux News. The sooner they all go HD, the better. Bill O'Reily's skin imperfections should be even more entertaining in HD.

I like Voom. And chocolate. And Al Franken. And the 99-cent Chicken Sandwich at the Carl's Jr. drive thru window at 2 AM. And if others find my likings disagreeable I couldn't care less.

I enjoy the Voom package of channels very much. There's almost always something interesting to watch within the package. Some of those Kung Fu movies are a blast to watch with the kids.

CES was disappointing for existing Dish customers, that's for sure. Cash flow issues, perhaps???? Maybe Dish can get a big, fat, non-bid government contract to provide satellite service in Iraq. That should enhance revenues.

I also had no audio. Reboot no help. Recorded through Dish, not OTA. Beautiful video. Dead slience. I really wanted to hear David Morse's quietly evil cop character again -- he's so good.

Holy crap. Can we merge all these "PR" posts into a single thread?

With CES and vendors, including Dish, making announcements regarding new services or hardware it wouldn't surprise me to see a 622 software update in this month.

I'm keeping my Platinum. This whole pricing scheme is WAY more complicated than it should be. HD is going to be the standard by the end of the decade, meaning that most of the channels most people care about will be in HD. By then most people will have at least one HDTV. HD-DVR units...

Looks like Murdoch found a way to make people think twice about switching -- Direct receivers would seem to have a built-in auto-destruct sequence initiated by a command sent by a secret division of Fox (probably deep underground below the Fox News studios) established to eliminate new Dish...

I'm sticking with Charles and Dish. Cable in my 'hood blows chunks. DirectTV offers far less HD content and from I can tell their pricing is not significantly more competitive than Dish. And, Rupert Murdoch just might be the anti-Christ. ;) Beautiful and fast programming guide...

No wonder Murdoch and his designates make every legal move against Dish at every turn. They know that, although he can sometimes be exasperatingly cryptic, Charile is not stupid. Charlie knows that he who runs a satellite company AND controls the skys controls the marketplace. He knows that...

Dish ain't do'n anythang wrong here.
