I thought Allen was going to take a ride up with echostar 18 to make sure he could add some extra tin foil antennas so dish would be able to add more HD .

If you saw the size of the satellite you might see that 300 extra pounds means nothing except it will need a slight bit more lift.

OK Allen, that CSR sure knows a lot. Or, really, is that CSR telling you what you want to hear so they can get on to other customers that have real issues or real programming request that can be added today...

Use (or get) a Roku Allen. There's no telling when (or if) they'll ever put any of these on the Hopper. I hope they get some more pressing issues in the firmware sorted out before they start on app crap.
