How much would Sunday Ticket or EI cost if they were actively showing content all year??
Don't worry, E* is not offering RTN at the expense of adding other channels. Even Charlie is not stupid enough to do something like that.
It's simple really, if you don't want RTN, don't subscribe to it.
I hope it is that simple.It's simple really, if you don't want RSN, don't subscribe to it.
I guess I will have to vote for none of the above since there isn't a choice for...Most stupid poll on the site!
agree, and I like how the vote for "Sports Packs Like MLB and NFL" is there.
Dream on Dish on getting neither LOL
Why do people keep saying this? When you compare comparable packages between Dish and Direct, the prices are pretty equal. When you add equipment and programming, Direct is actually cheaper. Dish only beats Direct in price on low level packages (which direct does not offer) and the everything package.
funny.. d's boxes have been more stable and less glitchy than e's .. maybe e should beta test a little longer than none what-so-ever..
You actually think Bars are going to carry Dish over Direct (which carries every other sports package) because of horse racing? Do you think bars would pay to carry both services for one sport? Do you think that many people whom frequent bars actually watch horse racing? How many bars carry Dish? I have seen only one bar carry Dish over Direct and they have since switched to Direct.
I haven't had an issue with my HR20 (recently I have a yellow light that is always on and can't figure out why)
OK fess up! Who are the 3 that chose racing because we have enough HD?
Should have made it a public poll!

They have been? That is funny. My brother has one and he hates it. I have seen it start recording and just stop one minute later for no reason at all. Heck he has only had it about 2 months and has already had it replaced once. Maybe he is expecting to much, he used to have E* so that might have spoiled him.funny.. d's boxes have been more stable and less glitchy than e's .. maybe e should beta test a little longer than none what-so-ever..
I can't see them being honest votes.OK fess up! Who are the 3 that chose racing because we have enough HD?

But 8 people will get all the horse racing they could ask for.
That sounds more like a TiVo. I have had recording issues with every TiVo I have ever owned and yet to see an single recording issue with the HRs (mine, friends, or family).
Its going to have to go on another satellite such as 85 121 or 105. There is room on 118.7 but I dont see them adding to that. There is no room on the DBS slots for 80 channels. They could put it on Echo5 when it gets to 148 but I highly doubt any channels will be for customers on that bird. Just a license holder and engineer playtoy for testing things.
Dont worry about it.

Depends on what equipment you add; for programming on a single receiver DirecTV can't touch Dish pricing. For many receivers, yes, you can get by a little cheaper with DirecTV.
Exactly -- DirecTV's minimum revenue per subscriber has a higher threshold tolerance than Dish. They can't afford to offer the $9.99/mo Welcome pack, the $19.99 Family pack, or any of the lower-cost reduced channel TurboHD packs that Dish network can.
Again, the financial numbers from Q1 says it all when it shows that Dish is driving more net income on almost half the revenue of DirecTV. The agreements that D* has forged to carry all the different sports packs are great from a consumer perspective, but it's weighs them down pretty significantly compared to Dish.
I won't worry ,as long as I don't lose any more programming. But those 80 channel have to go somewhere. As long as they go where you say they are going , Its not an issue.
