    How will VOD work with Satellite?

    Doesn't VOD require a two way street? For example, say I want to watch a particular movie. It's not on PPV and I don't have it on DVD, etc. Would I possibly key in on my STB the name of the movie I want to watch and the STB dials home and then the movie is up-lifted to the sat from the movie...

    Breaking: DirecTV to Launch 2 HD Satellites

    I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but the way I read it, 2005 will be dedicated to bringing HD locals to each market. The majority of us already get them via OTA antenna. Looks like we'll have to wait until 2007 for any more national HD channels to be added. :mad:

    Why am I NOT allowed to watch the Redskin game on Ch 629 (CSN)?

    I subscribe to the Sports Package but I get alternative programming when I tune in to watch the Redskin's last pre-season game against Atlanta.

    The McDonald's analogy is a very good one but it fails. Here is why: "My" McDonald's has every person in town as a customer (EVERYONE, bar none, in town has D* as their provider). If three more McDonalds' offering the same thing I am (3 cable companies WITH ST) move in, I would indeed be in a...

    The Future of Sunday Ticket

    I disagree with your premise. ALL cable providers realize ST is a major part of the reason that D* has 13 mil subscribers and want to level the playing field and stop the bleeding of subscribers switching to D*. Even if the price stays the same for ST in the next contract, $400 mil x 1 is less...

    The Future of Sunday Ticket

    My prediction is that D* will continue to have Sunday Ticket to offer to its subscribers so I wouldn't be too concerned about that. Where the change will be is that it will no longer be exclusively on D*. If you read between the lines the NFL said as much with the last ST contract renewal with...
