Another ruling in Dish's favor

[LER]

I think he is Claude....

Couldn't be, he's been negative on Dish MUCH longer than Claude.....

It's not like he's a big Directv fan either.

Perhaps they need to do advertisement while you use DVR features just like TiVo does now.

The broadcast companies need to keep pushing this because if they don't, any dvr service is going to start copying dish and adding autohop type technology.

I think that where you see the innovation is in some of the cable channels like USA networks were they integrate product placement into shows, as well as have apps to follow along with their shows with deeper information along with opportunities for advertising on something other than the tv screen.

As always, summer ends and there's a new Dish headache to contend. We could be seeing the FOX blackout of 2010 again.

More power to Dish. That's why I've always respected Charlie- a bit of a renegade in the entertainment delivery business.

...
You have to say this: Dish Chairman Charlie Ergen, who decided to launch the controversial Hopper, knows how to make things interesting.

Perhaps that is the old Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times."

You can't bite the hand that feeds you. In this case, the networks feed Dish by keeping their subscribers happy with the programming they want.

Paranoia is running WILD in this thread :dev

Correct. I pay no attention to what IT says. For awhile there the guy was predicting a Dish and Directv merger almost every year

The programming and crap ads forced down out throats that we settle for. F the networks. Charlie should buy Aereo and integrate that into the hopper.

While I'm not much of a fan of the Hopper over my fully tricked out 722k, I do applaud this victory for Hopper users. For me, it removes one more reason why I would not upgrade like the rest of you.

I'm not upgrading because I need 2 OTA's. I record 2 OTA news shows nightly. Hopper can't do that but the 722k can.

 

[Jim5506]

Then you must get 2 Hoppers.

 

[Scherrman]

If you're recording a lot of shows you'd want two Hoppers anyway.

Are the two OTA channels that Dish offers? They would still only use one tuner even if they are not in the PTAT time slot.

It is really only a matter of time before someone wins against Dish over the hopper and its features. May as well prepare now with OTA and so on.

Why would you say that? It seems Dish has an EXCELLENT chance of prevailing.

 

[theoak]

I agree, with the several judgments already in its favor, I would think it would be challenging for another judge to go otherwise also.
