    AT&T To Buy DIRECTV for $67 Billion

    It might be worth Charter's cash to get back in the game. Same with Dish. Right now anything these two can do to catch up to the new big boys will be worth a lot to them

    I miss Dish. I move and have Charter. While my experince has been better than most, I would like to move back in the spring. But how long do you need to be gone before you are a new sub again?

    Some probably dumb questions by a potential customer

    I am thinking about making a similiar move. I moved and added HD with charter. They jacked me up to full price on everything. $80 for extended cable plus HD. So much with the bundle. I have had bothe E* and D* in the day. I miss them. But I think E* is in big trouble with Tivo. Let...

    Updated: Court blocks Permanent Injuction ordering DISH DVRs disabled

    It might be simple. It looks like the patent refers to savig it in a mpeg format. What if its saved in Divx or Windows Media? Besides , no matter how you view Charlie, he plays to win and plays hard. With the company on the line, expect the play to be up a notch. Hate to go back to...

    Superdish ETC questions

    With all the changes at Dish I am not clear on things with the superdish. Blame Scott's update for the post.<grin> In order to recive HD I would need a dish pointed at 61.5? Which in my case would require another dish? Also with some the locals moving satellites, will I have any problems...

    DISH Network Introduces `DishFAMILY' Programming Tier

    Why is Fox News the family channel? Not all us Jesus Freaks are Neo-cons.<grin> All kidding aside, it looks pretty good. Does this mean AT60 gets nicktoons?

    Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network off Dish due to contract dispute

    I understand Charlie a bit better coming from the D* side. D* is not making money. More subscribers , less profit? How long are they gonna hold together? They need Microsoft as an owner to keep that going in the long run.

    Had a Great Tech Conference Yesterday!

    With Directv losing money, you know they are running right. The correction is going to hurt subscribers.

    One reciever two locations?

    My father has a vaction trailer up north. He is wondering if he can use and pay for one reciever and just cart it back and forth between the trailer and his home. He understands he needs a dish at both places? Is this possible under Dish and do they allow it? Thanks Matthew

    Family Programming Packages

    I can tell you, that no Christian ( me included) wants our kids watching C-Span, have you seen these guys...<grin>. It would be nice if the AT60 came in two forms, one with more cartoon channels and one with more grown up stuff. It would be great if we got al carte in channel type blocks...

    Getting E* for Christmas

    I laughed at the humor. They moved the date to Monday, before I called. Saving me from a possible lynching or whatever they do to people that have stuff installed on Christmas. Hoping to have it mounted on the facia like my directv dish. This forum actually helped me to make the decision to...

    Getting E* for Christmas

    Thinking about it.... Hope this goes well. Was pretty happy with Directv. But did not use most of the channels I was paying for. Their offer to stay would have only lasted 1 year.

    Family Programming Packages

    I would love to get more kid channels at the AT60 price and skip some of the other channels. al carte in packages would work. All kids channels+locals+News+whatever. I think they could do it.
