Dish pissed me off the other day. I wanted a new receiver and apparently all they offer now is the hopper? So I have to pay more to get the hopper and the little fucking boxes instead of just a new 722k.

Nevagtive, between a roku, FTA which have more than one sat, and a ota antenna you can get lots of free programs. I don't use hacks as I doubt anyone has cracked niagra much less they don't hack smart cards anymore since it would be easier to just load a thumb drive or use a encrypted online network with keys |

Yeah, the graphic interface on the Hopper/Joey is so much nicer than whats on regular receivers. The DVR is miles better and more capable too. Oh and be sure to never block the cooling vents on the Joeys because they get hot as hell. I've killed one on accident (at work) by stacking them 3 high. LOL

1. Everytime I turn around, Dish is in a contract dispute with one network or another.
2. All cable news sucks, to include Fox. The good shit (all 10 minutes of it in a 24 hour period) will be selectively encoded and uploaded to YouTube later that day. You're not missing anything. |

I would imagine that this dispute is doing terrible harm to both Fox and Dish. Fox News gets the republican leaning viewers. Rural areas, where satellite services such as Dish get most of their viewers, just happen to be heavily republican. So Fox News now has a ton of regular viewers that can no longer see their programming. And a bunch of people are pissed at Dish because they can no longer get their preferred news channel through them. I think I read something within the last week discussing how Dish Network has already lost 90,000+ subscribers over this issue with Fox News. And that number will keep climbing the longer this goes.
Honestly, I don't think either Dish or Fox News can keep this shit up much longer. Dish Network is in enough homes to cause Fox's ratings to drop significantly. And again, it is largely the rural and semi-rural audience that uses satellite who tune into Fox. I have always been happy with the service I've received from Dish thus far. But I'm going to be calling them today and informing them that if Fox News isn't back on my TV within a week, I will be canceling my Dish subscription and going to a local cable service. That is actually one of the few channels I watch on a regular basis and enjoy. Admittedly, their actual news coverage blows in comparison to CNN. Fox News is 100% politics, 100% of the day. But Fox is far more entertaining. And it is cool to see one major MSM source ask the tough questions to democrats, who get a free pass from all the other major MSM sources. |
