Everyone expected the numbers to be up from last year which included a $730M charge to settle a legal dispute with AMC Networks. But Dish Network did even better than investors anticipated. It generated $314.9M in net income, up from a $158.5M loss, on revenues of $3.6B, +2.2%. The Street thought revenues would be a tad lower at $3.58B. Diluted earnings at 68 cents a share were well ahead of the consensus forecast of 44 cents. The results were helped by the addition of 35,000 pay TV subscribers since the end of June, bringing Dish's total to 14.05M. The sub increase was well ahead of the 15,000 forecast by Brean Capital's Todd Mitchell. The company says that its churn rate dropped from last year although it "continues to be adversely affected" by the need for aggressive marketing and discounts, as well as "sustained economic weakness and uncertainty." Average revenue per subscriber was up 5.3% to $81.05 due to a price hike, and added revenues from hardware and pay-per-view purchases. But subscriber-related expenses rose 9.4% from last year to nearly $2B which Dish says was largely due to rising programming costs. Blockbuster, which the company said last week it plans to scrap, continued to weigh on the financials. Dish says it expects to incur future losses of as much as $30M from the home video chain. Blockbuster generated a $24M operating loss in Q3, double what it was last year, on revenues of $97M, down from $231M in 2012 when the company still had Blockbuster UK.

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....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
