Dish passing on annual CES presentation

[bluegras]

Dish Network has traditionally made CES in Las Vegas the place where it's made its biggest announcements. But the satellite TV operator will not be conducting its annual press conference when CES 2017 convenes in Las Vegas in two weeks, a company rep told FierceCable.

When asked why the event was being shelved this year, a Dish rep said, "In recent years, CES has been great for us but our timing is on a bit of a different cycle. Hope to see you there!"

just my own opinion maybe dish will announce that they are going all HD

Yeah I posted this about a month ago.

And no DISH will not announce they are going all HD since no announcements will be made there.

Well, can't be number one every year. Hopefully some one will be there that can talk more about the dual OTA module and the DPH42 switch. That sure would be exciting news for some of us.

That's to bad I was hoping to see the new Hopper3.5

As someone who's gone to CES for the past 20+ years...I assure you there's (a LOT) more to see out there besides E* (or D*, for that matter)...

Still going, the facetime with folks like Charlie and Vivek is worth it... besides my trip has a no refunds clause.

Does anyone know if Dish has any plans to update their encoders?

Thanks,
Tim

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

They update them all the time.

They update them all the time.

I am glad to hear that. I was hoping that there was a mass purchase of new encoders that had better efficiency and they've decided to go full 1080i/720p with the complete color pallette. That probably starts an old debate, but it would be nice to see this happen. I remember this happening at Directv and how much of a difference that made (years ago) - it might have been the Tandberg EN5990 (which is probably way out of date by now).

I used to see updates about this on the Directv side, but never on the Dish side.

Thanks,
Tim

"Exciting." But not enough so to have an official CES announcement.

My, what a large grain of salt.

 

[Bobby]

That article was probably composed 3 months ago. things change in 3 months...

 

[Tampa8]

Exciting a relative term...

 

[fredp]

Just how much are they smoking in Colorado these days....

 

[Stargazer]

I thought the annual Team Summit is where most of the big news used to be announced then if I am not mistaken they started doing that at CES instead?

 

[DishSubLA]

It sounds like the Dish rep said: timing. Whatever it was is not ready for CES debut. I do think some big new in 6 months is possible, IMHO.
