Thing of interest from the call...

VOD will launch next month and will roll out first in LA and Denver

 

[Smthkd]

LOL you guys are too slow!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Fish Man,

While many did not know about the 19th or do not care, they owe it to their customers who they did tell the 19th date to to tell them something.

I am not saying spill the beans of exactly what happened, just an announcement, note, or post to their website saying something.

Anything would have been better then nothing.

You will be able to wire DVR's together...

 

[Smthkd]

Hmmm a slide about Whole-Home Solution! Maybe the HMC we been waiting forever for!!!?

Been waiting for that to happen, lost multi room viewing when I dumped my Replays. Hope that shows up soon.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I like that he is saying that Sports Programming prices are too high. Although it was his company that fueld the higher costs.

 

[Smthkd]

Ironic isn't it!

 

[Smthkd]

Well, that was another wasted segment about HD. Nothing new but Financial mobojombo!

Q&A time!!! Someone PLEASE ask about HD start date!!!

 

[GeorgeLV]

VOD launches next month. First in LA and Denver!

Of course it's already national to anyone living on the edge

Did they announce any more VOD content deals? I'm sure lots of people are waiting for Howard Stern, WWE 24/7, and HBO on Demand.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Well, that was another wasted segment about HD. Nothing new but Financial mobojombo!

And lots of "Ummm's"

I agree with you.

The only way I can see them getting the message to the "target audience" and not alarming people who don't need to be alarmed would be to participate in this forum and others like it.

That participation is something I've always wanted to see. Now would be as good a time as any to start...

 

[grydlok]

damn missed it.

 

[goaliebob99]

yea I cant get in either..

 

[Questioner]

Another waste of time press conference......another weekend of wondering for directv subs.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Someone asked Chase about IPTV, and Chase said IPTV isnt ready yet and it takes 10 seconds to change channels.

Has Chase ever used IPTV before?

on UVERSE the channel changing was faster then satellite

Another waste of time press conference......another weekend of wondering for directv subs.

Did I wander into the "war zone" by mistake?
