    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    So no merger with Directv, so Bankruptcy it is! I don't see Charlie getting any $2 billion dollars by Nov. 14th.

    I hope it works out for Charlie. It would be nice to see the company keep on going.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Don't see Charlie giving up on his new dream that quickly. He will go bankrupt before he does that, I'm afraid. I think his ego is attached to this cell phone company. To give up this close to being done would hurt his ego completely.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    On Cord Cutters on You tube, they said one of the ways would be a combined company run by owners of Directv ( ATT) and Echostar would be the other owner. But then Directv and Directv streaming and DISH and Sling TV would all be part of the company. Most likely run by a 3rd party - like they are...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    I would ask for the moon to stay with them then. See how much you can swindle them down. I did renewal deals with DISH that were so good for me that I almost felt guilty there towards the end. ALMOST! If DISH had done what I said years ago they might of kept some of their subs. 1...

    Dish Price Increases (2024-25)

    I had the same thing happen yesterday on my Fire Tv in the office. It didn't recognize my Next Gen Tablo so I rebooted the TV and then deleted the Tablo app and readded it and then I was able to see my Tablo. Quirky behavior. My old legacy Tablo was always connected with no problems.

    Dish Price Increases (2024-25)

    I have a Hopper 3 with ota usb dongle and I have PTAT turned on but my receiver is deactivated since I left DISH two years ago. If I record any main network ota channel, I will get the auto skip feature enabled the next day on my ABC and NBC, Fox and with CBS it would take 7 days before it...

    OTA USB stopped working on Hopper 3

    You can also buy one from Solid Signal website or the RV / Outdoor website for DISH. Even Amazon has them on their site for $49.00.

    Another Possible Streaming Skinny Live TV Service, but for Cable

    The thing with Sling Tv is you get more cable like channels like Traditional Satellite/cable packs. Then add your own ota antenna and you get your own local for free. Its just a manner of what you add to your basic programming and it is a lot like the Flex pack choices. The best part you don't...

    Another Possible Streaming Skinny Live TV Service, but for Cable

    So a Tablo like version of Sling TV. It sounds like they are doing just that. I do like that they are working on making the Tablo app work outside the home for the Next Gen Receivers. I would like to be able to use it when I am away form home and sitting in a doctor's office to watch Tv.

    Dish Price Increases (2024-25)

    All the ota channels within reach of your TV antenna. My Televes DigiNova Boss antenna gets all of my channels and I am within the 25 - 35 mile range from the towers.
