Press release = free publicity. Why wouldn't you put your Brand out there any chance you can for free?

I am sure Tiger Woods and Ben Roethlisberger are loving free publicity.

Publicity is fine, but when it appears disingenuous (in this case, Dish isn't getting anything early, they are benefiting from Netflix and Redbox from being delayed) then it's not a matter of publicity, but integrity.

Does DISH get a movie before Netflix? Yes. Not disingenuous.

The average "Joe" has no idea that there are agreements in place delaying Netflix from having a new release movie. All they know is DISH has it first.

As for Tiger and Ben, you f*&K up, you pay the price. I don't see your comparison as relevant in this case.

DISH has a competitive advantage over Netflix in this case, why not take advantage of it?

I think this is significant. This is the first time PPV/VOD has had release before physical kiosks and rent by mail. With most studios (i.e., everyone except Warner/New Line), the PPV/VOD comes out a month or two before premium. By then, yawn... However, this time PPV/VOD isn't just day and date with the in store release but but available before the two fastest growing methods of disc rental.

IMHO, this is significant not just for Dish but for all multichannel providers.

Blockbuster caved to WB's extortion demands so they have same-day availability for rentals. Some of the other rentalcos have it available as well. Hard telling what the bankrupt BB corporation paid for that right. I'm wondering what it would cost WB if Netflix stopped buying and renting any of their DVDs. :) Somebody must be running the numbers somewhere. Redbox has been battling the multistudio embargo for quite a while. I just don't see lots of people paying $7 to watch a DVD 30 days earlier. This is similar to the music industry fiasco of a few years back. Anyone who wants to see the movie for free already knows how to do it online. Maybe this business model will work for them and maybe not. Time will tell.

Where are you going to drive too?

Hollywood video is bankrupt and shutting down all its stores

Blockbuster is in the process of looking into bankruptcy.

That leaves your TV provider or something threw the mail.

Redbox is everywhere around this part of the country. You can go online and see which machines near you have what movies. $1 per rental much cheaper than Dish and they are starting to carry Blu-Ray too...

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Hopper 3 with Hopper plus internet connection problems

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
