    and so this comment made the woman cry and run out of the room? Do you really consider this an insult? “That woman has been in this courtroom since day one,” Lowe said, “and if I had known what her position was in this case, I would never have permitted her to sit here in this courtroom.”

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

    what is the downside for dish to allow the trial to continue? a big judgement from the jury? maybe, but maybe not, you never know what a jury will do. regardless, dish could then appeal (though all that money would have to be put away in escrow). if they settle, no appeal. also, why would...

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

    just an fyi, the judge does not need to re-consider vooms summary judgement motion, he can simply issue a summary judgement himself. i believe these are the documents that dish most recently attempted to conceal but which the judge and the appellate court ruled they must turn over.

    and a little more from today: He agreed to VOOM’s motion requiring Dish to let auditors check its hard drives and IT system to see whether it destroyed a 2006 draft audit report of VOOM.

    Also, from yesterday: If Dish doesn’t give him (Judge Lowe) electronic copies of the material, he said, then he might rule in favor of AMC Networks in its $2.5B breach of contract suit before Dish even presents its case — leaving it to the jury to just decide on the size of the damages. Lowe...

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

    yes but how long can it take to get the appellate court the documents? a few hours to one day at most. as for the dish lawyers, though i am sure they are following the wishes of their client, almost certainly they will face direct sanction after the trail by the judge. worse, the judge could...

    "Realize that Dish perhaps deliberately left some terms ambiguous, just for possible future use in a court battle (or dispute) such as right now." perhaps dish did this, however, voom lawyers are paid professionals and should have caught it though.

    119/110/61.5/129 question

    a more fundamental question: will a dish 500 pointed to 129 give a stronger signal than a 1000.2 ? [110/119/129]. Stronger as in enough to make a noticeable difference to the average watcher.

    No audio when dd or dd/pcm selected

    used my ps3 cable (known good) and the problem still exists. Is it possible that the dolby digital hw in the 722 has died? I would have assumed that this was all software based and if the 722 could output pcm bitstream data it could output dd data as well, but this problem makes me wonder...

    No audio when dd or dd/pcm selected

    722 connected to a denon receiver via an optical cable. Everything has been working for years. Tonight the audio went out. Just by chance, i flipped to a sirius audio channel, and audio appeared! For the most part, any non-dolby channels produce audio out my denon receiver, but dolby...
