The 1000.4 looks a lot like the Slimline...
Funny. I was thinking the same thing. The elevation rod and azimuth cam looks EXACTLY like the Slimline's.

Whoops Leslie forgot a few things...
You can now turn off that annoying remote reminder screen. (See pictures.)
She then tells us how 1080p works. Tells us if your receiver is in dual mode TV2 will get a blank screen when someone is watching 1080p material.

Should make it easier to dial in and keep...
Yes, thank goodness. It just may offset the idea of lugging that monster up to a lot of 2nd story homes.
I'm sure it's going to sound self-serving, but I see the whole thing as job security. May have to rethink my recent move out to the boonies and possibly move closer to Cleveland (fuel costs are brutal otherwise).
Not if D* is offering unlimited HDDVR lease with only one DVR fee. The notion that people who can afford to pay will pay more is absurd, most people who become rich not because they learned to throw money away but how to put money to good use. Charlie can look into the mirror himself and find the clue.
Because of the nature of my job, I visit people with large upscale houses often, most of them fall into three categories:
1) Housholds with large families;
2) Houdsolds with little interest in TV entertainment;
3) Housholds with only one or two occupants but many multi fucntion rooms.
It goes without saying for 1) you need to have the D* kind of setup, and for 2) maybe E*'s arrangement will fit but they aren't going to bring in big revenue for E*.
Surprisingly there are a lot of those rich hoseholds fall into to 3). Many of them own business and work from homes a lot or exclusively. They often have HD sets large and small all throughout house, not just in the bedrooms, but in the home office, workout room, bathrooms, kitchen, garage, guest room and home theater, etc. The idea is not just to impress people but to make the information and entertainment readily available whatever they do during day and night to fit their busy schedules.
For example going into shower not missing a beat with the current market conditions, going into the kitchen for a quick breakfast still on top of the news, same when they work in the home offices, and when they spend an hour in the home gym. After a whole week they may be able to crash in the home theater for a good movie, then in the weekend with a few buddies working on a project in the garage still able to watch a game or two.
None of the setups are used extensively but all are necessary to fit their busy lifestyle, which is why charging $500 and $13/mo. fee for each additional wouldn't appeal to them when D* can offer a $99 lease upgrade and only $4.99/mo. fee for an extra HDDVR.
Well enough of my rant, I hope someone up in the E* food chain wake up and make a call to Charlie.
I looked at Dish builder for something close to what I have with D* (E* wouldn't let me have the number of STB's I wanted). Anyway, E* had $38.94 in equipment fees, D* had $20.96, and E* would have been worst if they allowed me to have the number of STB's I have with D*.
If I add a second receiver in September, should I inquire about Eastern Arc and replacing the two satellites dishes I have with one? Sure would make the condo neighbors happy?
I fall into #3, I have 1 HD box in the living room (most used), 1 in the bedroom (slightly used), I would like one in the kitchen (rarely used, but mostly cause we don't have an hd box there), and I was planning on getting another HD box at some point especially once my daughter can watch tv..
September the 5th (which is a Friday) is the next retailer chat...
Odd day to have it, as its a friday... On the Monday following it is a Charlie Chat...
Something to make you go hmmm.....

Installers can point to either location. (This is GOOD NEWS... now I want an Eastern Arc Dish.. hint hint)
What do you mean by "either location?"

A big victory party if you know what I mean
But if the thing goes the other way, what will they do with all the food?
My HD set in the kitchen is on lifeline cable, since I don't have any more ports on my switch. I scanned in the local digitals with the QAM tuner.
Mostly I use it to watch the news while I eat.
Huh? "They are working on making TurboHD available to exiting customers...". How hard can this be? Is there some technical issue that requires new hardware (e.g. a new receiver, smart card, etc.)?
