Team Summit - Keynote Address - 2PM ET

[stardust3]

Ok I understand now.

 

[Scherrman]

Charlie just said he was pretty much the biggest a$$hole boss there is. Lol. That got a lot of laughs.

 

[Scherrman]

I always enjoy listening to Charlie. The man is smart as hell.

 

[Scherrman]

Hope you can read it.

 

[stardust3]

I have to agree. Sure didn't get where he is by niceness.

 

[Scherrman]

Heading to trade show now.

Charlie visions the younger generation having just one large tv and then just tablets for mobile viewing in other rooms.

I"m not worth 1/100million of what Carlie is. But I beg to disagree. I believe middle-class couples will still have at least 2: The main big screen in the living rooms and the one in the bedroom. I do agree that the guest room TVs, kids Tvs, etc, are going the way of the dodo. But there's always the intimacy of a couple watching TV in a bedroom that wouldn't be that convenient with a tablet.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

So the offer is for a 16 GB , Black WIFI Only iPad 2.

Would have been better if they offered an upgrade to a 4G version, so people can really use it for TV Everywhere... Everywhere.

 

[Teehar]

He also said they will make a bid on the NFL Sunday ticket. Either Dish wins the bid or the competitor pays a lot for Sunday ticket. So, basically he says they would only offer the cheapest bid and most likely wouldn't get it.

That would be a coup for Dish!I've been hoping they would get it since uhh 1998 or so.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The big part I am really missingis the Tech Expo, that is my favorite part of the Team Summit, being able to go on the floor and try the new things and talk with the engineers.

That is my only regret about not going this year.

 

[Scherrman]

This made me laugh. Cocktail hour presented by babytv. I guess a lot of babies were made after some cocktails. Lol

 

[John Kotches]

Hopper transfers on android now.

Yippie... I have been biting my tongue on this one... And I expect it out in a few weeks.

Now and available in a few weeks. Which is it?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

It is NOW being shown there, but will be made available in a few weeks to customers.

 

[bchandler02]

Yippie... I have been biting my tongue on this one... And I expect it out in a few weeks.

THANK YOU!!! (Dish, not Scott for not sharing.. sorry Scott..)

Glad I pulled the trigger on the HWS upgrade before the price increase. Took a big gamble on this as I am an Android tablet user.

Where do I sign up to beta test this one!!

 

[gpollock87]

I know some are hoping for some new channels but its never really been a huge focus lately. I think they have all the major HD channels they need. The rest all depends on lawsuits.

ahem!! not gonna say it! hahahaha

 

[Scherrman]

New LG tv that does not require a Joey. Just got done hearing how this works. Pretty awesome feature. Surprised they didn't announce this during the keynote.

 

[ljdonato]

Too bad there haven't been any new HD programming announcements.

Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys

I would've been happy with any OLD HD programming announcements... for Puerto Rico customers.
(Sorry for the interruption. Could not resist. "Now we go back to our regular broadcast"...)

 

[Scherrman]

Beta of a x1.2 fast forward. You can watch a show faster without noticing. Kind of neat.

 

[ljdonato]

Any news on what existing customers get besides the shaft??

:haha

 

[Scherrman]

Here ya go existing customers. This is for you.
