Im struggling to get the conference to show on my computer. Anyone else?

 

[Scherrman]

Finally started working.

Hopper will be launched first quarter ... did I hear that right? I just got in.

 

[skyviewmark]

Dear god, these are the most boring people imaginable....

 

[Scherrman]

All I heard was they are promoting it starting the first quarter. I did not hear an official launch date though.

 

[TheKrell]

This is live? All I see is a canned CNET loop.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Wouldn't you know it the event started and Internet on verizon went down.

I just got here this morning, missed the press event and will hook up with Scott in a little while... I couldn't get on the site for awhile with my phone... I've been to the LVCC for my badge etc, we'll get you more info as available...

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

It's really strange I can have 5 bars 3g on my phone but there is no Internet available although sometimes it works.

Got a lot of pics and video to share.

Will post my thought later but will say everything they announced I seen posted somewhere before.

I like the new Dish stuff, but the Joey/Hopper names fail IMO.

Also saw a company that starts offering 12mbps down sat HSI this month, too bad their monthly bandwidth limitations/$$$ SUCK!!!

 

[Scherrman]

I don't mind the Joey/Hopper names. I thought that Wii was a terrible name but it seemed to catch on just fine. I think it's easier for customers to remember Hopper than it is xip813.
