And content providers are concerned that if an HD signal went out in the clear, as it would over ATSC coax, people would copy it and put it on the Internet. We won't talk about what TiVo does.
But D* is providing HD over coax, so why not E*?

try eight cents each at Amazon or, if you need a really LONG one, you can go to Home Depot and get a 100 footer for less than seventy dollars. Remember, digital does NOT need monster cable, just decent cable.
E* has decided, up to now, to make the multiple HD distribution solution past the first HDTV a wireless one via Sling Technology. Part of that is because they own the Sling technology and second, it has become a wireless world. Wireless solutions are elegant as long as one has sufficient bandwidth and no interference (minimal packet collisions). When E* announced the 922 and its Sling tech a couple years ago, it was the bell of the ball. Unfortunately they cannot seem to get out of the gate. They have been painfully slow in development. Part of this is because they lost a great deal of the Sling people when they bought them out and I don't think E* spends the money necessary to develop technology rapidly. It isn't a particularly well run company in some respects. Jim seems to have bailed and I don't think Charlie really understands all the bells and whistles. I've also never been very impressed with their management team.
There are several reasons but the primary reason is that the cabling topology that DISH uses doesn't lend itself to using MoCA.
The technologies used by the two companies progresses in kind of a leap-frog fashion and right now, DISH still demands you have wired Ethernet or Wi-fi.
A secondary reason that is very important to some is that DIRECTV's system effectively removes the ability to diplex OTA in and/or backfeed RF signals out.
I don't think D* is providing HD signals over coax in the clear in a standard ATSC format, easy to copy. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Well, just finished a chat. I guess the HD upgrade doesn't quite work the way it was presented here. They said I can't do it until 9/23 which is the anniversary date of the 625 I got. I wanted to swap out the 625 for a 612.
Oh well, my son will just have to suffer!!!

The one year wait after DishN'It Up has not changed.
What HAS changed is the charges for DishN'It Up, when you qualify.

There are a lot of new folk around that don't know any better. They get giddy with what they think they know...but don't.
It was a retailer who posted the info.

Scherrman posted the info but he referenced it as the new DIU pricing. Where has he or anyone else said the offer is available to anyone at any time. I assume the DIU rules still apply: once per year. The poster just didn't understand the DIU limitation.
Got it. I just assumed the OP understood the rules for DUI. My bad for not reading the entire thread.
No prob.
