    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    With those numbers I don't see how Dish is going to be able to stay in business much longer.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Back on topic, sort of, I've been getting some interesting offers from Dish since I cancelled a couple of years ago. 2 year price lock on any of their plans and a $500 prepaid debit card. Very tempting.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    It wouldn't surprise me if at some point he does by Dish and maybe DTV as well. I haven't been a Dish customer for over 2 years but I'd hate to see them go out of business.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Musk is smart and that's probably why he didn't buy Dish.

    From DISH about Locals

    He's probably on a roaming plan. When I had Starlink I regularly got between 90-250 Mbps regardless of the time of day.

    From DISH about Locals

    5G has not panned out the way it was expected to. I know quite a few people who switched from Verizon or T-Mobile Home Internet to Starlink and are much happier with the performance.

    What’s keeping you guys with Dish Network…

    I cancelled Dish about 2 and a half years ago. They started sending me offers a few months later.

    What’s keeping you guys with Dish Network…

    I was a Dish customer for nearly 20 years until I got in on the Starlink beta and finally got decent internet in my neck of the woods. Decided to go all streaming with legal and not so legal apps. I don't really miss Dish, but they're offering me a great deal to come back. Two year price lock on...

    Cutters Q&A: Sling VP on Why You Can’t Just Move DISH Customers Over to Sling TV

    Yep. I've been with Starlink for a little over 3 years after suffering nearly 20 years with dial up, Hughesnet and Viasat. It's a game changer for sure. I can stream all day and not worry about a restrictive data cap.

    Cutters Q&A: Sling VP on Why You Can’t Just Move DISH Customers Over to Sling TV

    "We’re looking at opportunities that come out of our impending merger with Echostar. Echostar Hughes service has really great high speed broadband" LOL. No. I don't know a single person who thinks of Hughesnet as "really great high speed broadband". This woman is absolutely clueless.

    The Welcome Pack was a good deal when it was around $30. Now not so much.

    Dish Network's days are numbered. There is no way they can stay in business if they continue to bleed subscribers at the current rate.

    Reformat an external HDD?

    The HDD wasn't showing up in disk management. After I installed and ran Data Lifeguard Diagnostic it did.

    Reformat an external HDD?

    Is there a way to reformat an external HDD that I had been using with Dish so I can use it with a PC? Edit: never mind. Found a program from WD called Data Lifeguard Diagnostic that let me format the HDD.

    Where is the Flex Pack?

    I've been looking through Dish.com and can't find any info on the Flex pack. The cheapest package advertised is America's Top 120. Anyone have a link to it?

    Dish Network 4th Quarter Report early Preview

    Dish will probably raise their rates again in order to compensate, which will result in more customers cancelling their service.

    Too late. The FCC has already given the green light for 3500 generation 2 satellites.
