    $50 Dish Grounding Inspection Fee passed by Omaha, Ne

    This is just great. Talk about a waste of time and effort. I started going to council meeting here because the BS that was going on. Here in PA our state legislature still has no budget plan in place and it should have been done by July 1. Both sides are looking for ways to rob the citizens...

    ECHOSTAR 11 RESTRICTED BY FCC !!

    One question I have, does this mean we will have a third DBS company in the U.S. and what will there programming be? Will it be more CNN, ESPN, HBO, etc. or possibly Western Euopean programming? OK that was 3 questions.

    ECHOSTAR 11 RESTRICTED BY FCC !!

    What effect would that have on Dish? In other words, what can't E11 do that it was supposed to do?

    Dish Network Retailer Chat Recap - September 28, 2007

    I am a Directv sub, but I like to see what Dish is doing. More HD from Dish hopefully means more HD from Directv and vice versa. It looks like a merger is imminent, however. The reason I say that is Dish execs aren't answering questions. That is usually reserved for Directv's execs.

    Scott's View and YOURS on the MLB Deal

    The way I understand this deal, each company would not pay $100 million. MLB gets $100 million, period. If Directv is the only provider on board they pay the whole amount. If Dish gets in they split it 50-50. If InDemand gets in they split it 3 ways or $33 million each. If tha latter...

    EchoStar: No 'Backseat' to DIRECTV On HDTV

    The first of Directv's birds is not a sea launch. With the love of God it will get off the ground.

    NC @ Duke is blacked out on ESPN right now!?!?!?

    Every year, one of the UNC-Duke games ia blacked out in any state that has an ACC team in it. I think it is bs, but what can you do.

    Dish really has it together ... NOT

    I never have any problems with my R-15. It has been working great for me. My neighbor said if I had a Tivo I would hate the R-15, but I didn't. I also have an H-20 and (knock on wood) I have not had a problem with that eiher.

    Dish really has it together ... NOT

    You guys must be mistaken. Dish never has picture problems or any problems for that matter. I know this because all the Dish people come to the Directv forum and tell us how stupid we are and the Echostar is the greatest company ever assembled. You must have done something wrong because Dish...

    Considering getting Dish

    Hi guys. I am a very p**sed off D* sub that is considering getting Dish network. What kind of setup would I need to get the maximum amount of HD sports. Nat Geo. and HGTV in HD just don't get me fired up. I want as much sports in HD as possible. I would also need HBO HD with that. What...

    Dish Network: Distant Networks

    I will send mine today. I don't understand how cable gets away with it. I lived near Philly and my cable was also giving me NYC channels. Scott is right. I can sign on and read the Boston Globe or Chicago Tribune, so why can't I get these channels. Little by little our rights are being taken...

    Weighing A Potential EchoStar-DirecTV Merger

    I hope this happens. I believe there is enough competition out there this time around. There is still cable and now Verizon's FIOS. Prices won't be an issue as long as FIOS is around. Remember, Murdoch helped stop the first merger so he could buy Directv. He has a lot of pull in Washington...

    SportsNet New York, Now Available!

    Remember this? When Seinfeld first came on, Jerry was a Mets fan. It wasn't until the Yankees started winning that he became a Yankee fan.

    SportsNet New York, Now Available!

    I think that SNY will be on Dish. In my opinion, it would be the ultimate slap in the face to Steinbrenner and the YES Network if SNY is on Dish and not YES. It might not be today, but I think it is going to hapen.

    Universal HD - Gone Next Week?

    They do run replays of Notre Dame games in HD, however. That is a plus. I do agree, i wish they showed different programming.

    Lifetime Television Severs Talks with Dish Network

    Dish's rates are higher than Directv, but then again we don't get the bingo channell either. E*'s problem is they have no programming to offer. Disney might pull all their stations. Someone said Lifetime needs Dish more than Dish needs Lifetime. Well Dish needs Disney more than Disney...

    Lifetime Television Severs Talks with Dish Network

    I think Charlie is as fault here. Lifetime was able to reach agreements with everyone else except Dish. I have Directv and I get the Lifetime channels, I don't watch them, but I get them. What I do watch is hockey on OLN. I really enjoy OLN's NHL in HD. Dish doesn't have OLN anymore. Why...

    YES Network

    I want to echo (no pun intended) what RonMort said. If you do not live in the YES designated are, then it is a waste. I lived in Allentown, which is the Philadelphia market, and alot of shows were blacked out, not just games. Classic games, Yankeeography, all Nets games. It is useless if you...
