    Charlie downplays DirecTV's 100 HD channels

    You make is sound like people suffered or something. If DirecTV offerd/offers people the HD they want then how is that suffering? :rolleyes:

    Charlie downplays DirecTV's 100 HD channels

    Charlie is just so full of it just like the cable co's. These are the exact same channels that he will carry himself someday (one hopes). I just don't get it.

    E* NHL Hockey Playoffs HD Plans

    No kidding. What makes it even more funny is that it was LPGA. :eek:

    E* NHL Hockey Playoffs HD Plans

    Well, I wouldn't be blaming Dish (or DirecTV) on this one. They can't carry what isn't available. The VsGolf HD channel is showing Golf, not the hockey game. I have seen posts on AVS that InHD on some cable systems is showing the game but started late. Not sure how they are getting a feed...

    E* NHL Hockey Playoffs HD Plans

    DirecTV wouldn't have added it in the guide just this morning if they weren't planning on carrying it. VsGolf HD screwed the pooch and are showing Golf. For the love of Pete....Golf! I sent a nastygram to Versus about it. I encourage everyone to do the same.

    Dish Network Statement on MLB

    You're forgetting something. Sunday Ticket has always been a "loss leader" for DirecTV. They don't make any money off Sunday Ticket. At most in the later years of a contract they might break even. They make their money on the *monthly subscriptions*. Having Sunday Ticket and so forth is to...

    Scifi Hd

    I guess you guys missed this, released the day after D*'s announcement: http://www.tvweek.com/news.cms?newsId=11336 They don't get in any more details then that. I also remember another article about a week later (but I can't find it) that stated they would have Chiller HD, Slueth HD...

    Dish Network Statement on MLB

    What's you're question about that? Basically all the lease means is that if you no longer need that receiver or you cancel DirecTV they will want it back (assuming it's still a current receiver at that time). Leased or owned you still pay the same $4.99 a month mirroring fee, it's just...

    Dish Network Statement on MLB

    Yea, I've never bought that argument that everyone's bill goes up due to these sports packages. Even with Sunday Ticket and all that DirecTV hasn't raised their rates any more then Dish or cable at any time. So I just don't see the argument that Charlie thinks he has. If DirecTV only goes up...

    Dish Network Statement on MLB

    So since this already exists I assume you plan to sue MLB for mlb.tv which is the exclusive "WEB Extra Innings all year ticket / experience"? ;) I think you should also sue NBC for having the exclusive on Heroes. I'd much rather watch Heroes on ABC.

    Scott's View and YOURS on the MLB Deal

    What I was kinda getting at is that most cable companies are working on doing 2 things to be able to compete in terms of bandwidth: 1) Turning off the analog tier. They've been working on this for some time. Once a cable company turns off analog and goes totally digital (everyone needs a...

    Scott's View and YOURS on the MLB Deal

    Sunday Ticket is a loss leader. But they get all those subs paying $50 a month for the standard package in a 1-2 year commitment, many of which wouldn't be with DirecTV at all if not for ST. And lets not forget the tens of thousands of bars and restaurants that pay thousands a year for...

    Scott's View and YOURS on the MLB Deal

    They are already doing that in some places. Most cable systems in my area grab our CBS SD signal off a digital subchannel and then send it out on their systems. Analog of course. But by 2009 most cable systems will probably have shut down the analog tier anyway, it's the only way they'll...

    Scott's View and YOURS on the MLB Deal

    First I'll just say I don't care either way since I don't watch baseball. Scott, I think you've got it wrong in what the terms are. According to this news article So Dish and InDemand must only match the non-exclusive *rate* that DirecTV is paying. This implies a *per subscriber* fee...

    Will Dish Retain the Title "HD Leader"?

    So what didn't they deliver on? They have been saying for 3 years now what their plan is. And they have delivered on that plan nearly to the letter. Lets see: We're going to be behind E* and cable for a couple years and admit it. Check. SW1&2 launch, many HD LIL up in 2005 and 2006...
