Server Issues. We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. The provider was going to move us to a new server, however we are now told by the provider the issue is at the data center in St. Louis. They have offered to move us to a different datacenter on the East Coast or West Coast, however at this time we have declined the move to a different data center as it would affect the speed of connecting to about half our members.
We are waiting for more information from our provider, however we are trying to ride this out to stay in the same data center, so that when the server is fixed all users in the US will get the fastest connection possible.
If after some time the issue is not resolved we will be forced to move to another data center, if this happens there will be down time, as they will need to transfer everything to the new server and we will need to update the DNS and other settings for the new IP address of the new server. If we have to do this, the time it will take to move will be out of our hands.
We are going to try our best to weather through this, so we thank you in advance if you encounter any issues.
Sorry for the issue!

I still find it amusing that elsewhere they call their forums by those Echostar model names...
Joe Clayton is a friendly guy and spoke or waved at us every time we saw him last year at CES ...

They never got the memo

I wonder that myself?
But good article though about what current thinking is
Same here interesting and strange that all other models are Echostar and this is something different 
I read the article. Just loved the part where they compaired their facebook likes to Directv.
Since when did facebook likes mean anything?

It could be looked at as free advertising. I know that whenever a friend on my Facebook friends list "likes" a company or some random page, i see that in my news feed. So the more people that click "like", the more people who see that their friend like the dish page and when it comes time to move or get TV service they may check out the page or remember seeing something about Dish and that might be enough to bring them to the Dish site and get them to sign up.
In a pathetic way, it does matter. Welcome to the younger generation...and better start adapting if you are in business that depends on them.
I'm not so sure it is a "pathetic" way. The younger generation is the next generation of leaders. Us "old folk" have passed the torch, like it or not. Let's sit back and watch - it will be fun.
I agree with him about the current TV model, it will shrink. Other venues will take over. I love the streaming Netflix model.
EXCELLENT article. Thanks for posting it. Mr C certainly understands what we've discussed here about a tipping point.
