For those that like to listen "live" for these reports.
EchoStar will have a live "listen" 3rd Quarter conference call on Tuesday Nov 12 11AM Eastern time

Dial in instructions can be found here:

I think this is also the drop dead date for acceptance of the EchoStar debt deal.

Yep.

I await the Cliff Notes.

If they don't make their debt payment does Dish Network go into bankruptcy right after that? I wonder if that happens could TPG just pick up Dish Network anyway at a fire sale?

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I thought DISH was already given the money and paid the debt off already.

They were.

But TPG can still cancel the deal, unless the creditors agree to the, now, roughly $1.7 Billion cut.

I have no idea how soon Echostar would have to pay back that $2 Billion, if the deal is cancelled.

I have heard they don't have to pay it back, that was a gamble TPG took.

As I said before if this is true, then it would not surprise me to see DISH ending. up owning DIRECTV.

I learned a long time ago, never count Charlie out.

That's quite the gamble!

What has Charlie done in 15 years? That Blockbuster deal was a money maker!

What has DirecTV done, except lose only 14 Million Subscribers in the last 8 years, I cannot think of anything.

Definitely not launching Satellites or designing and building new set top boxes.

Im not the one tooting Charlie who was kicked out of Vegas for cheating? I will ask again, what has he done in 15 years?

How long does the payment keep Dish in business?
