    Are you having Sling / DISH Remote Access Issues

    I am able to get in on my BB Bold 9000 too. So all my avenues into my slingbox seem to be working for the first time since this outage began.

    DISH Launches Palladia

    What goes around, comes around in the cable business, especially for Cablevision CEO Jimmy Dolan. After playing hardball in talks with Scripps Networks over carriage fees, Dolan now finds himself in a fee fight with satellite-TV operator Dish Network over his Fuse music channel. On...

    DISH Launches Palladia

    Who do you think is the majority shareholder of MSG? DOLAN! The spin-off was smoke & mirrors to keep HD feeds away from the telcos, knowing the FCC was going to change the regs on the terrestrial loophole. The same person owns both companies all under the Cablevision umbrella or disguised as...

    DISH Launches Palladia

    Looks like the feud with the Dolans continues. I bet Dolan asked for more money for FUSE and E* told them to take a hike. I wouldn't expect to see this channel back on E* for a while. Dolan is a jackass that holds a grudge and he is still hating E* for dropping the VOOM channels. My 2 cents...

    Echostar files to move E6 to 61.5W

    Probably cause the federal gov't has been shutdown for 3 days and will be closed tomorrow for a 4th day! Too much snow for DC.

    CNBC Problems-Am I the Only One Seeing It?

    Retailer Chat Recap - July 10, 2008

    Satelliteracer just announced that Universal HD will be in MPEG 4 as well as HD NET Movies, 2 HD-lite channels in the HD Extra Pack, by the end of this month. D10 is maxed for capacity, which would mean D11 will be moved into place in the next few weeks and turned on.

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    Still on the air. Cablevision needs them to keep ahead of Verizon FIOS in the HD count, since more HD is coming to the N NJ & NY area in 3 weeks from Verizon.

    Echostar 11 Update

    Probably around mid-July or so. Figure July 22nd or so, would be my guess based on previous missions & launches taking place. This is just a pure guess on my part FYI!

    DISH Network and EchoStar Statement Regarding Tivo

    Charlie might have to fork over a lot of money this fall with Tivo & VOOM lawsuits. Best of luck, since 2009 will see more fees and bigger increases to cover these monetary payouts, should Charlie lose both battles.

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    It will be, since no post card notice was received in the mail by Cablevision. They are required to notify customers of channel changes in NYS 30 days prior to change, to allow disconnects/downgrades with no fees under NYS law. I didn't receive anything, so VOOM will stick around on...

    New Satellites for DISH - only reason to stay for now

    It was always AMC-14, Echostar 11 & Ciel-2 to be launched in 2008, as I recall. AMC-14 put a hold on ILS Launches, so Ciel-2 is now scheduled for 1st qtr of 2009. Echostar 11 is to be launched by Sea-Launch in late July.

    There is the Slimline-3 coming out. Will do what Eastern Arc does but for D* with everything at 99, 101 & 103 slots. So D* is going the same path E* is going, trying to make installations easy and view areas smaller. E* of course will have options for many though with the Eastern & Western...

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    Well, Cablevision still has the full VOOM suite of channels on its systems, so the channels are all being carried by the majority owner of VOOM. No idea if that carriage agreement gets renewed, as it is set to expire June 30th. I can't recall off the top of my head a channel being completely...

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    My word of advice for those pissed that VOOM is gone is to wait. Let the court case go forward, next hearing date is 10/23. If VOOM wins by the end of the year Dish will have Ciel-2 and Echostar 11 up, so they can add the channels back. I think Charlie knows this, so he decided to add...

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    June 30th the contract is up with Cablevision, so later this month Cablevision subscribers will know if the channels are going to be renewed for carriage, since notice is given 30 days in advance of programming changes, as required by law to allow downgrades and cancellation without penalty in...

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    VOOM is definitely gone, the next court date is 10/23 for a compliance conference. So it is safe to say, VOOM will not be coming back to Dish unless they win during the upcoming trial later in the year.

    Hey VOOMers, should begin to prepare for your second funeral

    What happens if VOOM wins after the trial? Dish will be required to perhaps put the channels back up, unless they can get an injunction pending appeal. Many rounds to go with this and VOOM (Cablevision) is not going without a fight, that is for sure.
