Re: Pansat being sued now by Echostar

I just watch FTA stuff. But sure, if it was $50.00 for a decent package I might be swayed.

My question is: if you were able to obtain everything that you currently get for less than $50, would you get it legit?

Re: EchoStar News from the Courts

What I find amazing, is the stations we pay advertisers to see are the same ones the dih people charge for. If they approched their business from the standpoint of premium TV-give its subs the channels we pay for through commercials and charge us for premium channels as we use them. Seems like double jeoprady to me. Most of the channels on the sats can be received analog or digital with a simple TV antenna. Sure, you can only receive the channels in your area but they are still free. I don't think their lawsuit has any legs.

Re: Pansat being sued now by Echostar

I pay fifty dollars a month to Direct, twelve a month to cable, and have fta. I would gladly pay five hundred a year to have the combo in one box.

Re: Pansat being sued now by Echostar

I agree MOPAR Man if we could pay a half decent fee a year DN and many others would benefit but that’s what happens in the bueiness world everyone wants it all to them self’s and with all these law suites being haded out by Charlie they would save a lot of money because they’s things could get tied up in court for a long time and time is money!
