    Echostar 5 Transfer Delay

    It would have been great if it said this instead...... "The Ciel 2 satellite arrived at the nominal 129° W.L. orbital location and DISH Network began transferring traffic from EchoStar 5 on February 3, 2009. Due to a software-related issue, traffic transfer will take longer than expected...

    When are we going to get Speed in hd?

    The funny part of Charlie's answer was "I don't think they transmit much in HD" What a joke.....

    Is Dish Broken?

    I thought it was interesting the analysts up'd his number of sub loss in 2009 to 392,000. Meanwhile Direct is adding bigtime. Why can't Charlie see any of this? Or possibly he just doesn't care? I agree with others that Dish Cust service is horrible, and the packages are the most...

    Gatorade Duels

    Wow does Direct know how to market or what..... I still obviously don't have Speed HD on Dish, so what does Direct do in addition to already having Speed HD? They announce they are giving NASCAR Hotpass away for free to everyone in 2009. Dish is sure making it hard to stay loyal, and...

    Is this bill correct (ridiculous increase)?

    You should be getting a $3 credit for 12 months because you were a DVR Advantage, so it should be just $5 for now.....

    SatelliteGuys Live Recap - Dish Retailer Chat 2/4/09

    Disappointing for 2 reasons..... Direct just launched these last week (all 4 networks). Now I get a timeframe from Dish that hard to believe sounds worse than "SOON"....."AFTER":( "Spring" is the best they could do to raise our hopes for new HD? I am no where near Spring in Northern Wisconsin :D

    Need Dish to step up soon with HD Locals

    Thanks.... Good point, I will wait for sure to see what Direct actually has in HD, and wait until it looks like Ceil is used up and Wednesday's go back to nothing again. I like my DVR right now too.... TRSmudge

    Need Dish to step up soon with HD Locals

    Just noticed that Direct is going to launch my Locals in HD very shortly. DIRECTV: HD Locals Since I can only get 1 station in HD via OTA because of where I live from towers, and neither Direct or Dish has offered them yet, I have stuck with Dish for a long time in hopes they would launch...

    Viacom and DISH reached agreement?

    I would think Dish would toss us an HD appetizer out there right before the price increase. Keep everyone, including the ones who are considering leaving a little happy, then bring out the HD main course when Ceil is ready. Then again this is Charlie and Dish we are talking about, what the...

    Bad News For Dish

    I can see 2 things coming out of the poor results from the past 2 quarters..... 1) A big increase in next years rates 2) A possible "Oh sorry, due to hard economic times we will have to delay our launch of any additional channels or satellites until further notice":confused::confused:

    How much longer will you be with Dish?

    I can only pickup 1 HD OTA from my area..... Whoever can launch my Locals in HD wins..... I hope it is Dish, but with the way Direct is launching I have my doubts..... Frankly I am surprised Dish or Direct doesn't go after more DMA's like mine, where most people can not pick up all 4...
