Team Summit Photos

I haven't tried it before, but I think you can schedule online right now if you have a dishonline account.

I think it was available as beta for a short period of time, it was removed shortly after and I don't think anything has been put back up since.

I don't think it was really ready for beta. Alot of people seemed to have issues.
 
Can you get a close up picture of the new remotes?

I'm interested in seeing the bottom row of buttons. It looks like it might be so that you can create a matrix of signals (ie so you can turn on closed captioning by pressing one button). There are some other interesting buttons (the row of multiple colors?) on there too.

Look really closely and you will see the words SWAP PIP and POSITION under the first three keys on the bottom. They are PIP Keys. 4th key is shiny. DISH Home?

I think the sign for the remote is intriguing. 'Remote stores Receiver settings. Receiver stores remote settings.'

Sounds like the receiver will program the remote for you and then use it to back up critical receiver settings.
 
I'm sure they were already printed before the shakeup, but I can't believe they didn't at least put some duct tape over the VOOM logos or something. :D

That wouldn't be FX & Speed logos on that bottom group, would it?!?

Things that make ya go "Hmmm" :D
Um, if Voom sponsored, they sponsored. I'm seriously tickled they sponsored, but not much Charlie can do about it. Duct tape would work I guess, if E* returned whatever consideration received, and the contract allowed for removal of sponsorship.
 
Of course everyone has their priorities, but if that dish is no bigger than the old D* Phase III and can be mounted on vertical surfaces (e.g. chimney, side of house) then, as long as it gets all the channels, I think Charlie is going to have a distinct advantage.

MUCH less fuss than with the D* AT-9 or "Slimline".
 
I don't understand the 3/4 putput upgradabilty?
Is this talking about putting a HD source out on channel 3/4 using ATSC digital modulation. Kind of like you can do now on the home distibution connecter with analog? Or am I totaly wrong?
 
Where can we find a Team Summit coverage thread, if this isn't the only one
To save folks some time, here is an Executive Summary Preview of the Team Summit....

Eastern Arc:
* Despite the problems with the launch of AMC-14, we will be able to continue the deployment of the Eastern Arc using a collection of spares (AKA space junk).
* Just look at this cool new satellite dish that will allow us to provide all of our channels to new subs in the eastern half of the US using only one dish.
* And check out these cool new MPEG4 receivers and even cooler remotes.

New HD:
* We are well on our way to having 100 HD LiLs DMAs, and despite the recent 22 steps forward, 15 steps back, we still plan to have 100 National channels with HD in their logo by the end of the year.
* We'll add more HD LiLs as space and negotiations allow.
* We'll add more National channels with HD in their logo "soon", some of which may actually be ones in this teaser slide.

Dish the leader in Cool Satellite Hardware/Software -- HD... not so much :rolleyes:

Read it carefully and look at the pictures. The OTA/ 3/4 outputs are listed as MODULAR. In peeking at the pics it appears it's a removable module. Maybe you'll have to buy a module to use those? Wonder how they'd make that work? Cost savings?
 
Unless that is not a standard splitter, it would look like they don't have the TV2 backfeed correct. OUT port to OUT port has RF Isolation on most splitters so that wouldn't work unless that is a component designed as such.

Scott, can we get a close-up of that splitter on the TV2 OUT port?

From the back, that EA dish looks like a slimline. Basically this is going to be a 500+ size dish it seems like. Hope it doesn't require strut arms.

I'm so glad they created a real solution for the TV 2 remote issues. Can we also get a close up of the rear of the 722k's ethernet jack? They would have been smart to build a wifi adapter into this box. There's so many open networks that DISH would unwittingly get two-way connectivity even if the subscriber didn't have a wifi network in many cases.

I'm going to have to charge more to install this stuff.


It looks like that is a combiner so the range for TV2 remote is extended or possibley they are doing TV2 Ir and using coax as the Ir sender.
 
Let's not confuse "tuners" with "outputs."

Both tuners will work with MPEG-2 & MPEG-4. But the TV2 output will only be SD, not HD. TV2 outputs are "in the clear" so the content providers will not allow HD out that way, due to theft of programming concerns.

There is the Slimline-3 coming out. Will do what Eastern Arc does but for D* with everything at 99, 101 & 103 slots. So D* is going the same path E* is going, trying to make installations easy and view areas smaller. E* of course will have options for many though with the Eastern & Western Arcs, advantage E* on that I will concede.
