No, it's not. It's actually perfectly sensible. Who cares if the channels are uplinked on Wednesdays and CSRs get info a day later ? Existing customers will get them automatically, hence no need to call in and therefore no need for CSRs to know they're available.Dish for some reason uplinks on Wednesdays but channels dont become officially available (and CSR's are not notified) until Thursday.
Its a screwed up system.
Well, Dish lost 100K+ customers in the last quarter, compared to DirecTV / UVerse / FIOS all gaining. They have been losing customers for the past year. And Dish stock has dropped from a high of appr. $49.72 in October 2007 to $12.19 at the close today.And nothing will change on E*'s end. They'll get the channels up when they can, take it or leave it. See if anyone gets any "credits" for this... They won't, because they've "lost" nothing.
Dear Mr. Krauser,
Thank you for your email expressing concern about the additional Viacom HD channels that were referred to in the Charlie Chat. Currently, DISH Network and Viacom, the owner of these channels, are working to finalize the launch of these HD channels.
We realize that in today’s competitive world you have a choice in services. We thank you for your continued business and support.
Sincerely,
Thank you
Angeline Romero

Yet, as I recall, they made a profit...Well, Dish lost 100K+ customers in the last quarter...
What is significant about Oct '07 ? I'm gonna guess that it's when Dish's stock price was at it's highest...And Dish stock has dropped from a high of appr. $49.72 in October 2007 to $12.19 at the close today.
