http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-...get-summer-debut-for-internet-tv-service.html

Dish is telling programmers, including Comcast Corp. (CMCSA)'s NBCUniversal, that a late summer release date is possible, said the people, who asked not to be named because the negotiations are private. Dish, the second-largest U.S. satellite-TV operator, already signed up Walt Disney Co. for the service last month. A&E Television Networks LLC, Time Warner Inc.'s Turner Broadcasting and CBS Corp. also have spoken with Dish about Internet-TV rights, several people said.

Charlie Ergen's Dish is trying to be the first to sell a full package of live-streaming channels -- similar to those offered with a cable subscription -- over the Web. An Internet-based TV package would give consumers a new option beyond cable, satellite and phone companies. Dish is targeting 18-to-34-year-olds who only want to pay $20 or $30 a month to watch video on smartphones and tablets instead of a traditional TV set.

They aim to have locals plus at least the top 10 channels.

And you would be out of business in the blink of an eye. If it worked that way DISH or others would be doing it. If ESPN doesn't want it, don't have a contract with ESPN?
Why do you think DISH (or maybe others) have not already talked to channels about them being available A La Carte, and why would WGN take themselves out of packages to have far far less people subscribe to them? They are no different than TLC or History, they all want to be in packages.

Huh? I don't believe you can have a 4 room setup with Dish, AEP and be paying less than $120... forget about adding in Sprint.

No ,I've never been a DISH employee in all my almost 18 years with DISH. I just call and get discounts every 6months, since I have 3 DISH accounts :mine, parents, aunt in my name and they pay me the bill. I get discounts on all 3 accounts.

As for Time Warner Cable I call them once a year and threaten to cancel if I don't get a discount . I've gotten it each year for 5 years now.

For T-mobile, I get a State of Texas Retiree discount and it saves me like $12.00 a month on my bill. Had it, for going on 4 years come next April.

I also get Xm sat radio for $25.00 for 5 months. Each time it expires I call to cancel and they extend it again. I've been doing this since 09 when my original subscription was ended and they originally offered me 6 months at $25.00. When they ask me why I want to cancel and I say ever time: This sat radio isn't worth more than $5.00 a month. They cave every time.

I don't ever plan on paying full price for any of my services if I don't have to. Everyone can do the same thing. It is called haggling and it works.

*
for example if i am owner of WGN, i lost revenue from AT-120 or lower subscriber only, since my channel is available to AT200 or higher., the only way to capture these subscriber (Welcome pack, Smart pack, Dish America, International Basic, AT 120,Dish Latino dos (or lower)) is make available to a-la-carte, belong to the AT200/AT250. like The Blaze, Viera, Cine Latino, (EPIX, available A la carte or BB@Home)

Has anyone noticed an FF stutter with 713? I used to be able to hit FF a few times and skip smoothly. After 713 (maybe 712), when I skip forward, there is a definite stutter for as many times as I have pressed FF.

Can anyone check on this and report back? Recorded programs and then press skip forward a few times to see if it's smooth? Normally, it just jumps to the right place after the skips.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Why are ViP922s So rare? like its crazy how ebay has none, i checked everywhere, also, i got a ViP222k now, which is actually activated!

I think they were more of a transitional receiver bridging the VIPs to the Hopper. They were a PITA to install and were buggy. Personally, I thought at the time that they were the best receiver out there. The versatility of the VIP's with the new Hopper GUI and, by far, the coolest-looking front plate and lighting.

Well if it is because of reliability that wouldnt shock me.I went through 5 or 6 of them in little over 2 years. I loved the Sling when it worked! Saved lots of money having it in the day. That was probably 15 or 16 years ago?

I don't recall that they came out just before hopper, but rather that they came out even before 722. Or could be thinking of 921.

As to the title pf the post, "rare" does not necessarily mean valuable or desirable.

You are thinking of the 921. The 922 was the first DVR with Sling functionality built in (that was eventually disabled along with the Sling Adapter for the 722s and the 1st Hopper because they relied on now-defunct Adobe Flash technology). With the bugginess described by others and the removal of its marquee feature (Sling) the 922 faded into obscurity once the Hopper 2 with built in Sling was released and they finally made the concept into a fully functional product.
dishdude
I had one, the front panel lighting was cool, the menus were fresh and a lot more modern looking than the ViPs. However, it was very buggy and the Sling functionality just didn't work well - I think it was due to internet speeds at the time. I think I had to pay $40 for the Sling app on my phone iirc.

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....

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.

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.
