Any explanation ? I'm sure it has to do with people buying leased receivers and not being allowed -- under any circumstances* -- to activate them.
* No "we'll do this as a one-time courtesy", for example

Come on, Scott ! That has to be one of the most commonly asked questions this site sees !!You can't but the software update should get to you before the season is done.
Along with "how do I keep my receiver s/w from updating?" in which I answer "disconnect the satellite cables and it won't update".
I think CES is going to be HUGE this year for DISH. I'd love to play around with some working XIP receivers and not the mock ups they used at the Team Summit.
i wonder what the new software will be...hmm any ides scott? ty for help
Something sugary and sweet made by the honey bees at Google.
2 quick comments:Next year they will launch a new equipment platform which will give them advantages over their competition. In addition he wants to push "More Movies, More Music, More Magic!" This will be launched at CES, and joe is inviting the press to a free lunch.

1- If your stated goal to Wall Street is to increase revenue per subscriber, by dropping sports channels you are dropping an audience that's willing to spend more $$$ to watch their sports.
2- More Music... Interesting, do they plan to bring back Fuse?
I dont know if its restricted just to retailers, or if they are going to make Ebay take down all DISH Network satellite receivers listed.
Wouldn't eBay and Craigslist be the ones that tell you that you cannot sell the receivers? Unless they have an agreement with both of them.
So, they (Dish) will basically force people into the leasing model, unless you want to pay full price for their "new/refurb" receivers, directly from Dish. (or retailers)
Dish could advertise having more movies, but I'm calling BS on more music. How bout adding Fuse back at least in SD since every other video provider I know of carries it in some capacity? I'll be switching to Comcast once I move anyways since I'm a bit tired of Dish's misleading advertising and lack of a streamlined on demand.
No I think dish is correct... they have more music channels then anyone else...
They are not saying they have more Music Video channels then anyone else.

That's what I figured they meant. Even though half of them are mono.......
