| Does it matter what they do with it Does it matter what they do with it? Dishnetwork or Echostar if you will is dying. Their service sucks, their equipment is way over engineered for average consumers and their customer service is horrible. And that includes service from installers to tech supprt to billing people.
Every work order I ever had from them had some sort of mistake that required at least ten phone calls from the field to fix. Their service call proceedures defy logic and they have way to many types of dishes and switches and LNB's.... I swore two years ago that I would NEVER touch a piece of Dishnetwork equipment for the rest of my life.
Now they have a virtually dead and almost useless new satellite that costs millions and millions.....
I will be the first to dance at their funeral. |

Re: Does it matter what they do with it What broken and useless new satellite? Echostar hasn't launched a satellite in a couple of years. Last one they launched was Echostar10 and it is working great providing local channels to everyone across the US.

Let's see, attguy at comcast.net - hmmm...
I can understand why you hate Dish Network.
However, they are far from dead and your FUD is laughable.
Way over-engineered equipment? LOL, I've seen 4 year olds operating their DVRs. The real problem is the incredible stupidity level of your average American. Just look at all the flashing 12:00's on all their digital clock equipped appliances and vcrs.
Sucky customer service? Whose isn't?
Comcast AND ATT are two of the worst on the planet and I have had personal and commercial experience with both of those companies. When I was done with ATT, they refunded me more than $35,000.00 they stole from me.
The satellite belongs to SES Americom who was going to rent transponders to Dish. The next Echostar satellite is Echostar 11 and that should go up in May. The SES Americom sat called AMC-14 may still be able to be moved into proper orbit but at a cost of some years of service. No biggie either way.
A dying service? Not hardly. 14 million customers and growing with new services and features added yearly.
With their purchase of SlingMedia and now this spectrum, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with it. |

I like the broken satellite rant. Shows the void of actual knowledge in that post.
