For almost two years I have been requesting that LOGO be added to the line up. I keep getting the same response. Dish keeps adding all kinds of CRAP to the line up 3/4 of which I am paying for but do not watch.

Here is a copy of several emails I have sent them and the responses. I assume that I have been red listed since I was shunted to a call center when trying to call charlie chat. I just want to know if they have plans to add LOGO in the next several years so I can make plans to switch to Directtv if they do not plan too. I guess the near future is either never or when it snow in heck.

Question: Today 11/29/2006 I noticed Here is not in the line up. Is there a reason why?
Also when will be logo be added? I have been requesting Logo for almost 2 years. I have noticed that there have been several sports channels, resort and residence channel, mens channel, mens 2 channel, water channel, slueth, soapnet and several others added within the last two years. With the loss of here, dish's refusal to add logo while adding other channels, and Dish's headquarters being in the same town as focus on the family the enemy of the gay people. I can only assume that dish is being inflenced by focus on the family to not add or maintain gay and lesbian programming or channel selections. I do hope I am wrong in this assumtion and that here will be restored and logo will be added to the line up soon.

I have two problems with this email response.

1 This is the same response I have been getting for 2 1/2 years.

2 I am male so the title Ms. as clearly shown below is not only inappropriate but also insulting.

Question: To whom it may concern,
I have noticed that DISH is launching The Big Ten Network. Here is a quote from the email flyer. "DISH Network recognizes how important Big Ten Conference games are to our customers, and we are pleased to offer the Big Ten Network, continuing our tradition of providing our customers the best in college sports." I have been asking for the LOGO channel to be added to the lineup for amost 3 years. Why is Big Ten Network being added instead of LOGO? As a customer LOGO is more important to me then the Big Ten Network. As a customer I am offended that Dish Network would assume that The Big Ten Network is of any importance to me and that Dish Network does not recognise how important LOGO is to me.
I simply do not understand why I can not have LOGO while in the past several years Dish has added channels of no importance, such as Fine living, all the HDTV channels, and now the Big Ten Network.

Every time you write a request for Logo, I'm writing a request that they don't pick up Logo. I'm cancelling your requests out. :)

The point is moot. Logo is a politically volatile business transaction. Any approach taken to it would possibly create a PR issue for E* and would certainly demolish its family-friendly image. You'll see Disney HD first. The OP doesn't have to like it, but despite all his whining and complaining, Charlie won't carry programming of a "politically incorrect" (not to me, but to your average American family?) nature if it will harm the stock price, and it would.

It's bad PR, and more importantly, it's a bad business arrangement. Despite your sexual preference OP, same-sex personal preference is still a minority in America. That is what makes any targeted programming to that audience a bad proposition. Heterosexuals statistically are the majority, hence the pornographic programming available. It's all about the demographics, no bias necessary.

As far as Oxygen, a minimum of 45-60% of the planet's population at any given point in time is female. That's about 3.5+ billion potential viewers. I'd say it's a good choice.

Nuff said, in nice neat and politically correct terms.

True but they did have Here! on PPV... So it seems they're not totally against the idea entirely.

Then again my other option is political and pushing legislators to increase regulation. So if dish won't carry LOGO then I will push my congress people to increase FCC regulations. Maybe nationalization of all the echostar sats. I may be in the minority but I still have a voice politically. BTW more regulation would hurt them then carrying one little channel, no matter how controversial

Um... You could try, but democracy favors majority rule. Again, you're in the minority in a democratic country, and Charlie I guarantee can afford to lobby longer, and in higher dollar amounts than you or the like-minded minority populace.

You statistically have a better chance of walking up to Charlie, twisting his arm and getting him to put on LOGO than you do of winning a political fight against a multi-billion dollar corporation, let alone passing laws/reguations against it. As far as nationalizing one companies' satellites, E* leases half its transponders and you'd have to have the competition's nationalized to avoid anti-trust/unfair competition.

Just being a realist, but you can't win this one.

"Politically volatile business transaction"??

How are things in 1967? You do realize that LOGO is carried by Direct TV as well as all major cable outlets don't you?

"Demolish its family-friendly image." ???

Dish Network is a major provider of hardcore pornography.

Season 2 order already in hand:

'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1

I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

Here i am over a year later and just finished season 1. Not great but not as bad as I was expecting. Did not care for the barefoot captain stuff but overall ok. Actually looking forward to see what they did for season 2.

Yeah, the foot stuff was just nasty. I kept thinking of how dirty her feet would get traipsing around shoe-less. Funny, I love being shoe less at home and never wear shoes indoors in my home for long, but seeing her laying on all her furniture with her bare feet hanging out just kind of grossed me out.

There would still be dirt ,dust in the future I am sure. So walking around the station like she did she would get stuff on her feet. I am sure the robot vacuum is still going to miss stuff, with all those different alien species running around there.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that. ;)

It turns out I was justified in my suspicion.

Gavin Newsom somehow authorized the temporary move of the distribution date of the Winter blend to September 28th.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Since it was already "paid" for, I spent the two hours of my time watching the John Cena action movie on Apple TV, "Matchbox The Movie" even though the reviews were brutal. It was better than I expected, so I didn't feel like I had wasted an afternoon watching it. But it felt like another "Reacher"/"Neghley"/"Mission: Impossible"/"Fast & Furious" crash and blow stuff up with lots of automatic gunfire mixed in movie featuring covert CIA operatives.

I don't think we'll get a follow-up movie from this. I expect Mattel will have other toy lines to exploit.

PISTONS and THUNDER are finally testing on the stream server. PISTONS is showing the Ion/Scripps Sports promo loop filler that their NHL and WNBA feeds have, THUNDER has a "You are watching Thunder+" slate

The Clippers still haven't officially announced their TV plans beyond 10 simulcasts on KTLA, but the NBA's FAQ for ClipperVision is now live. The CLIPPERS feed is currently showing a loop of their Hawaii preseason game.

The Heat still haven't announced their West Palm Beach or Fort Myers affiliates. Since WPLG is streaming the games for free via their app, I doubt we'll be seeing the return of WPLG on stream.

So far nothing testing for the Bucks, Magic, Hawks or Hornets.

West Palm Beach is getting it on WTCN-CD/43 MNT. Still nothing for Fort Myers


Also, the Thunder's deal for KSBI/52 OKC and KQCW/19 Tulsa will be via a special cable and DIRECTV only feed of those stations. OTA viewers and Dish customers will be limited to 10 games.

It's only available for streaming customers, they still haven't added that batch of CW stations to satellite.

Even if it was, satellite customers still can't stream their CW affiliates via the app, just the Big 4, select PBS stations and some independents (mainly the ones that have full season NHL/NBA rights)
