If DISH doesn't get your Viacom stations up this week, Engadget-HD may get more attention on what was said and actually delivered by Charlie on the last Charlie Chat. They have more eyeballs and a broader audience so if nothing else it may make DISH come out with a statement.
As far as I know no one outside of the Sat Forums are talking about this. Just a suggestion. :up

I should check with Ben, although he is a DirecTV guy and might not care if Dish Network gets new HD or not. :)

Retailer chat today at noon, hopefully we get an update then.

You certainly have a right to your post but I don't think there's any point in something like this.

First, where else would we expect to hear about satellite programming except in forums? Second, nothing Charlie says is enforceable. Smart people look at the stations a service has and make their decision based on that. Anyone with half a brain knows that Dish doesn't have Viacom-HD so there's no information to add.

I am scratching my head on the relevance of your post. :confused:
I think we all know good and well where Satellite info is and isn't. That was actually the point in taking the "word" to somewhere besides choir practice.
As this post has nothing to do with which provider has what channels in a comparative nature but only in a "stated delivery" nature I will just ignore your questioning of anyone's intelligence.

For the record I don't think any one expects Charlie to be served a court order to add those channels, they just want the channels added. My post was only a suggestion in a possible way to motivate those that can get it done.

Well like myself, I think we all want strong competition. And as much as I want to be happy that I made the right decision with my provider I don't want my provider to be in a position to ignore what the other providers do and don't do.

I did a quick search of engadget-hd and couldn't find a post of the Charlie Chat statement, which I could of swore they quoted you on. Must have been some other Sat news. Oh well good luck.

I sent them (engadget hd) an email on the 1st when what was promised did not happen. Never heard anything back from them or have seen anything on the website.

Scott,

Just curious, you showed a slide from the last retailer chat, that showed the viacom channels and the date April 1st.

I'm assuming they give you that info to aid you as a retailer to entice customers to sign up. So they haven't even given you retailers an official statement as to why it didn't happen?

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....

Several Dish offers showed up today in my account. Once you choose one the rest are removed. Offers were Showtime, Starz, AMC and others.

It is really really simple install (no special tools or instruments required and they guide you through using their starlink app and a simple set of instructions.

You can order direct from starlink online or from an authorized retailer.

Not at all like the special equipment needed for a satellite install.

Thank you Nelson,
Yes, I fully agree. I can install it with my teeth, and both hands tied behind my back...but this installation is for a commercial user that will not do it themselves, and myself, Im overseas...

But it looks like that we managed to find someone who can drive there for the work.

Thank you 🙏

have you got it done

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. :eek

Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

I'm pretty sure the most you can get is seven.

What America can't afford is the payments on $80,000+ pickups and SUVs and $40,000+ crossovers.

Believe it or not, 8 yrs...96 mon is starting to become common.

What I can't believe is the interest rates they are charging now. I've got a high credit score and when recently at a Ford dealership I inquired about what the rates were for new vehicles and he said 6.9%. Yikes.

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.

I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

The "Secure Asset Fund" had about $1 billion in reserves... in Bitcoin.

The fund started in 2018, so it may take a while to make investors whole, much less replenish the fund.

That's kinda what I was seeing but all the news reports are suggesting that all investors will be made whole immediately.
The other thing they weren't clear about was the BTC that was "locked out" of the system. I guess that means that the stolen BTC is basically worthless now because I don't see how it could be replaced....but there is a LOT about the crypto world that leaves me scratching my head.

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

No. Bring in someone new.🤔 Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

I'm curious how they are going to implement Tony into Origins (If they do) ...
Tony was introduced to Gibbs and the team, on NCIS, which makes it the Mothership side of things, he worked in Baltimore prior to NCIS, NO mention when they met that anyone had known one another ...
