Neuman is 100% correct, for 95% of Dish Networks customers they dont care about the equipment they just want their channel x and will do whatever to get that channel.
While us techno geeks talk MPEG4 the adverage consumer does not care as long as they are getting the programming they want.
so what you are saying E* on 12 million subs has only 600.000 subs that they
care about their equipment (HD and nonHD users) so in reality we are looking at
up to 600.000 HD receivers .
I thought there are over 2 million HD receivers, so would that mean 1.4 million HD users don't care , well i find that hard to swallow.
while i agree about not many people knowing MPEG4 and are not techno geeks
but lets look around how many have HDTV , many don't visit forums but they have friends or neighbors who know things or have lots of money and they get the help they want .
Of those people i can tell you most everyone wants the best picture possible
and they too want to show other friends their HDTV.
So if most people dont care why would they buy new MPEG4 eqipment that they
dont know about
about the programming ,
so why hold a news conference about VOOM channels
and MPEG4 equipment that non techno people would not understand and the majority of the subs dont care.
maybe they want us to be the guinea pigs,the testers, the troubleshooters, and to report problems as if we are their employees not on payroll and for us to spread the word.
YOU KNOW WHAT ? YOU CAN COUNT ME OUT
and THE HOW MUCH, i find it very hypocritical for them to complain about lifetime
wanting more money and in return they announce THE RAISING OF PRICES
do they expect people to do the same
MAYBE THATS WHAT WE SHOULD SPREAD OUT.
