Thanks for all the pictures. Would love to put names to some of the pictures. Who has the baseball cap on in the last picture?
Thanks for the pics Ilya. So did VOOM sponsor lunch or did they back out and left everybody with nothing to eat?
We should be getting some Group Shots of all of us with Charlie from the Dish PR department this week.
Are the nfl and ncaa satellites available and if so how are you able to get one? I have never seen that before and looking at the pictures on page 5 I was curious.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
Scott you said more HD will be comming in a month. I know you can't go into detail, but do you think we will get more before the Charlie Chat in June, and about how many are they talking about, 2 to 5 channels, 6 to 10 channels, greater than 10 channels? If you don't feel comfortable answering I understand, no problem, I will just have to wait a month or so to find out. However, if you can give a little details it would be appreciated.
No real numbers were given. We were told and it was mentioned in the General assembly that a group would launch in the summer and another wave would hit in the fall.
No numbers were given. But they were happy that soon they would be on a level field (if not a few channels ahead) of DirecTV.

As far as price changes, the answer is no. There will be no price change. As far as additional content for Ultimate, nothing was mentioned.
See ya

Was the question actually asked:
" Now that Voom is gone, and there are 15 less channels in HD Ultimate, will the price be lowered? "
(or equivalent question worded differently) ?
Or are you just saying that no price decrease was mentioned ?
They are available. When I was at one of the University of Tennessee games last year someone from Dish came by and gave me a TN cover for my 1000.2 that looks great. I haven't taken a picture of it though. I need to change my avatar to that. So for me it was free! As Charlie went to TN undergrad and is from the area Dish has stepped up their sponsorship of TN football so I'm guessing that is why they were giving them out.
I said what I meant, and I meant what I said.
I couldn't have stated it any plainer than I did.See ya

The meet & greet was a good time. Charlie took us on a tour of his private jet, pretty cool inside:
While we were in the jet, he suggested a quick little safari in Africa. No one objected. This rhino came right up to us:
Then we flew to the uplink center in Cheyenne. It was a pleasant day there:
Frank, the security guard, was a nice fellow:
And here are Alfred and Henry in the main control room. I don't think they knew I took this picture:

Quite an unforgettable experience!
Ok, so my post above was completely and utterly fictitious, forgive me.
In truth, I did have a great time there. I know everyone in attentance really appreciates the time Charlie, Eric, Leslie, and the others gave us. We were all especially impressed with Charlie's openness and availability (for almost 2 hours). I can't think of any other people with his status, from a company of that size, that would spend that kind of time with a (somewhat) ordinary group of strangers.
Thanks again to Scott, the SatelliteGuys.US staff, and of course Dish Network. And thanks to the Sling Media people for giving away those Slingboxes (can't wait to try mine out).
Attached are a few of my pictures.

She had a good time too, and agrees it was worth the trip.

Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the Pics. Tuxcoder was one of the lucky guys who won himself a new Slingbox from the good folks at Sling Media.
I cropped the group shot and posted it on the homepage.
We will be getting our official group shot picture sometime this week.
