    ES XXV Satellite - Maxar and DISH

    What are the chances that Dish buys or leases the DirecTV transponders at 110W or 119W which would allow Dish to dump the 129W location?

    Dish Network 5G Internet?

    The graphics for the Galaxy S22 should be great since it uses AMD graphics technology.

    RSN Channels

    The high player salaries has very little to do with high cost of sports broadcasts. The popularity/viewer ship (demand) of sports broadcasts is what drives the cost. Ownership of a sports team is going to try to maximize their income from selling the rights to broadcast their games regardless...

    FOX Dispute?

    Baseball is more competitive certainly than football and basketball that both have salary caps. I challenge anyone to check on how many different teams in each sport have made it to their respective championship game or series in each sport in the last 20 years. You will find that by far, a...

    DISH, DirecTV to merge?

    I haven't read all the posts in this thread and I remember reading it in another post but has anyone heard anything about ATT/DirecTV and Dish discussing the sale of the ATT/DirecTV DBS transponders at 110 W or 119 W to Dish? I thought I read that ATT/DirecTV doesn't really use all of these DBS...

    DISH presents new Amazon Alexa controls for Hopper

    Does a regular Amazon Fire TV (not cube) allow use of Alexa voice commands with a hopper with sling or regular Joey? Thanks

    So Who's Having OTA Problems on Their Joeys?

    I have a HWS and a single tuner OTA adapter and have audio/video breakups on my Joey for at least a year where it is not worth watching. I think the only way I get a clear picture is to join a broadcast my HWS. Actually haven't tried that in awhile so not sure if that still works.

    Can't Type In 5 Digit Channel on HWS

    Tried a front red button reset but that didn't change anything. Sounds like a another software upgrade that caused an unintended problem.

    Can't Type In 5 Digit Channel on HWS

    In the last day or two I no longer to type in a 5 digit channel number such as a regional sports network e.g. 41221. Instead the HWS goes to the nearest channel to 4122. This also happens on my Joey. Any help would be appreciated.

    Echostar 18 Launch Approx 4:15 EDT June 18 2016

    I hope folks realize you are joking because I'm sure there are many who think Dish needs a new, specially built satellite for providing 4k service. Based on the schedule provided, this would have the Echostar 18 satellite in service around the first of September.

    the Dish 2016 predictions thread: Post your predictions here.

    Dish comes out with a Hopper App that provides cloud services for subscribers to store recorded programming. Dish certainly would charge a monthly fee for this cloud service that would go up the more storage amount one would use. Not sure if this would get into copyright lawsuits or not.

    8PSK Conversion Update...

    If I remember correctly, there are 5 unused spotbeam transponders on the spotbeam satellite at 119 W so they could use some or all of the freed up space for that. Not sure how many more markets that Dish needs to provide the locals in HD but this is certainly an option for this space.

    Joey Bluetooth Giveaway Details

    My free one from Scott came yesterday. Thanks Scott. The envelop it came in looked ok but the USB end of the BT dongle was bent. I had to carefully bend it back into shape with pliers and a small screwdriver. It was a tight fit into the Joey USB port but it works ok. I need to check the...

    Dish Files FCC Appication to Launch Echostar 18

    If you look on page 6 of the FCC narrative, footnote 16, it states that Dish and DirecTV entered into a coordination agreement for the 110 W location on September 12, 2014. Obviously we don't know the details of that agreement but it does confirm there was an agreement.

    Possible New DirecTV Customer with Questions

    I am not worried about the second TV not being able to receive premium/movie channels because my Mom won't be subscribing to them. Regarding the RF remote kit for an HR24, I would assume it comes with a remote. Will the IR remote that comes with the HR24 still work? I had read somewhere that...

    Possible New DirecTV Customer with Questions

    I'm looking to switch my Mom over from Dish to DirecTV because the DirecTV programming packages fit her needs better. I do have a few questions about receivers. She doesn't need or want a DVR but she has two HD TVs. She doesn't need to watch two different programs on each TV at the same time...

    DISH introduces Hopper Transfers to Android Platform

    I currently sling to my Kindle Fire HD (not HDX) from my Hopper with Sling (HWS) without problems. Had to sideload the Dish app to my Kindle but that is fairly easy. I use to have a 722 receiver and sling adapter and it worked with the Kindle Fire HD as well.

    2014 MPEG 4 Conversions

    If Dish needs spotbeam capacity on the WA, E-14 has the capability at 119W to use five more TPs for spotbeams. So Dish could start phasing out the SD duplicates of HD channels such as the premiums and the AT250 channels to free up TPs for spotbeam use.

    Holy Cow Did Multisport Get Expensive!

    It's funny how folks can argue about player salaries affecting TV contracts. What they imply is that if the costs go down or stay the same (including player salaries) for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL or the various college football and basketball conferences they would ask for less for the TV rights...

    Holy Cow Did Multisport Get Expensive!

    If you understood basic economics you would realize that the what the players make has little to nothing to do with how much sports on TV costs. Professional leagues and big time college sports (i.e., the development minor leagues for the NFL and NBA) are going to maximize their TV revenues...

    7/17/2013 3:47pm - Uplink Activity Report - 35 changes

    Dish is not going to do this because the E-16 satellite and every satellite for that matter has power limitations and activating that spotbeam would reduce what Dish can do elsewhere. All of Dish's recent spotbeam satellites have more capability in terms of spotbeams than what the satellite can...
