So we'll actually start to see E* customers on the charlie chats? :D

wow this show keeps getting more interesting! :)
 
Wow.....usually the Charlie Chat threads are at least 4 pages by now. That's so sad. I remember when I would always look forward to the chats, and get good news and information watching them. Now, I'm like everyone else. Don't care. Tired of Hoping. Tired of wishing. Tired of wanting.
(Psssst...Hey Charlie.....You Readin' this?........Announce some new HD channels tonight.........That sure would be swell.......By gosh,you just might make somebody's day........month.......or year even!)
 
If they even just say the word "Voom" tonight, that would be a start.

I'm starting a bet with myself that there will be no mention of Voom. Hell, there are two separate (but related) issues that are of interest to us all, one of which directly involves EchoStar: (a) pending purchase of Rainbow 1 & uplink, (b) Voom's closure.

I think I have pretty good odds here.

Yep... Charlie can only cry WOLF so many times before people figure out that he is just buying time.

He would make a great government agent. Can you say... Plausible Deniability? :D
 
Can't get into chat room

I click on the link to the chat room, and it does not load. I get an x in the box that the chat application looks like it would load in. I am using IE 6.0 with Windows XP. Is there some application that I need to download?

Thanks:)

You need some sort of Java support.
