Retailer Chat from CES

[Scherrman]

Just got word that Dish's retailer chat will be starting in about 15 minutes. Most of this will probably be repeated stuff that has been in the other CES threads but I'll post it here for now. Hopefully I will find out some new stuff for everyone.

A price on the Super Joey would be nice . . .

Thanks for pitching in Scherrman!

 

[Scherrman]

I'm really hoping for some pricing info and business rules on these Joeys. I doubt I'll get much info on the Super Joey since it won't be released until later Spring. I'll be upset if all they do is repeat everything that was talked about in the press conference. I need some new info!

 

[Scherrman]

It's started and right now they are just showing clips from the conference.

Interesting to see if they mention the SatGuys award.

 

[Scherrman]

They are showing an interview with Vivek right now. (It's not Scott's interview) Basically going over the new Joeys, stuff we already know so far.

I just got a fax from my distributor stating they are having a New Promotion Webinar for retailers this Friday and next Tuesday. Those should be a little more in depth than this chat.

 

[Scherrman]

Well that was a waste of time. Basically they just reviewed everything that was announced at the press conference. I'm assuming it was for retailers that were unable to watch the conference live. There will be another retailer chat next Tuesday and that should be more informative.

Now that I think about it, Dish usually doesn't say much at the CES retailer chat since they are surrounded by the public and can't go over the pricing there. They usually have another one the following week when they are back at Dish headquarters and they can go over more sensitive details.

Sorry guys.

Just a question there is no new Hopper this year correct?

Correct, just new Joeys that go with the Hopper.

Correct, there is no new Hopper this year.

That was the shortest Retailer Chat ever.

Okay thank you.

Don't be sorry for the attempt. Instead, thank YOU.

And two days until the next reputed H/J software rollout begins.

Happy, happy, joy, joy.

 

[bluegras]

what do you guys think of the new software will have in it?

 

[navychop]

Fixes for EHD problems.

[Scherrman]

Thanks Scherrman appreciate it a lot and wait till next week now!!

I get tired of waiting though. lol Now that the public knows I want to know what the details are, I hate being in the dark on this once the public knows.
