DISH Network Retailer Chat Recap - June 16, 2011

[Scott Greczkowski]

Its time once again for another SatelliteGuys DISH Network retailer chat recap... as always we cover items from the chat which are in interest to you the consumer. We do not cover dealer sensitive items such as costs.

Not sure what to expect today. We are in the summer slow months so not sure what if anything we will see today...

But if there is something you can be sure you will read about it first only at one place... welcome to SatelliteGuys.US!

I will open this thread once the first recap post has been posted.

Looking at today lineup I don't think there will be much on this edition...

They will be talking about the new DISH Sales App
New DISH Network Mall Kiosk Start up kits
Marketing
Programming
and retailer services.

Let me grab some no doze for this one folks.

Giving a demo of the DISH sales app now. Neat idea but has a long way to go...

They will be pushing the free TV Everywhere in upcoming advertisements. And also will be advertising the free Blockbuster for 3 months for new customers more as well.

Blake comes on and talks about a bunch of retailer stuff.

Blake says the MSRP for the Logitech Revue is dropping from $299 to $249. (This change is being done by Logitech.) The Logitech Revue however will still remain available to DISH Network customers at $179.

 

[whitewolf8214]

That's in Spanish. In English, however, Copa America only on GolTv, which Dish Network doesn't carry. That said, I could watch soccer in Greek, Mandarin, the language doesn't matter ;-)

Logitec had to reduce the price of the Revue box since it does not sell.

 

[CK SatGuy]
