From Dish Chairman Charlie Ergen Admits Company Must Walk “A Narrow Path” Toward Financial Stability; DirecTV Merger Pursuit Is Paused As Stock Crashes To 25-Year Low

IIRC, CBS was the last of the big 3 networks to move to color many years ago, maybe 4K will be the same?

Just an FYI, the 4K on Directv is showing just the SkyCam feed from the game.

It's kind of hard to feel sorry for companies blaming their suppliers for price increases (DIRECTV also does this), when they're making more and more money, it's not like they're bleeding cash.

68 and former smoker, it’s been 10 years, and so far so good.

The were still flying in the US after being ungrounded. Took them from ORD to HNL on AA a few years later. And don’t forget that there was a United DC-10 that crashed in Iowa due to the tail engine blowing up and severing the hydraulic lines causing loss of control of the flight surfaces.

IIRC the design of the plane was fine, the accident was cause by AA maintenance staff not following procedures removing/replacing the engine causing a crack in the bracket that attached the engine to the wing.

I’ve got a Tablo quad box with a 2TB USB drive connected to it. I pay the annual fee for the guide data and the commercial skip function (which works most of the time but not perfect). It uses an app on your smart TV , I use Samsung or streaming boxes like Apple TV. Also has IOS and droid...

I was going to say since Charlie really like to play hard this might go longer then the DIRECTV blackout. It will be interesting to see if Charlie gets this resolved quicker.

I'll agree that if you need to call customer service the move to AT&T has really trashed the service. But outside that it's still the same old DIRECTV, annual price increase and the occasional contract dispute causing channels to go black, but we usually get them back. If the OP does check out...

From T-Mobile may look outside Dish for Boost sale options - Fox Business (NASDAQ:TMUS) Nobody could see this coming?

I hope Charlie can get this to happen and that other providers get on the bandwagon, Dish pressing for refund on sports-lite ESPN subs - report Sent from my iPad using the SatelliteGuys app!

I don't know what Dish is saying about CFP Championship game on Monday but DIRECTV's guide for the two live 4K channels is showing the followingL: 1578608155 1578608193

They replaced the video with a slide saying tune to the HD version until they can fix it.

To be honest I don't know if it was DD5.1 or DD2.0(I didn't look at the AVR's display), all I know is that the channel swap problem that was noted wasn't happening on DIRECTV.

DD5.1 is just fine on DIRECTV's 4K channel for the game, so it's something on Dish's end causing the problem, not FOX.

So folks expect Charlie to build a new G5 wireless network, buy AT&T and now develop a new satellite based internet service. Boy you’re expecting a lot from the man.

Spaces and Amazon are doing that with their LEO satellite fleet. That’s the only way to fix satellite internet, unless Charlie can make radio signals go faster then then speed of light.

Looks like you are correct. Thought it was settled due to crawls being removed.

In case you missed that also AT&T said DIRECTV isn’t for sale according to AT&T.

The Sinclair retransmission has also been taken care of, that was done after the article was published.
