Will Dolan raise Voom from the dead with HDTV services?

» Will Dolan raise Voom from the dead with HDTV services?
Filed under:   Posted By: Tomas @ 4:34 pm

Chuck Dolan, chairman of Cablevision, has still high hopes for Voom and HDTV services, even after he was forced to sell Voom satellite to its rival EchoStar. Dolan is now heading a group that wants to purchase the remaining assets of Voom, a Satellite TV Service project he enforced at Cablevision that cost over $1 billion and had only 26.000 subscribers signed up. He wants to use these assets to continue the Voom HDTV service with almost 40 high definition channels. (more…)

» DirecTV’s battle against signal theft and smart cards
Filed under:   Posted By: Tomas @ 4:16 pm

It is a widely known fact that there are many people receiving signal from satellite TV stations illegally without paying their monthly fees. What exactly are the Satellite TV Providers doing against pirates and how massive and effective are their actions, is a fact that is much less known.

Taking DirecTV as an example, they have replaced their access cards last spring, and they claim no one has hacked the new cards so far, which means that it is impossible to steal DirecTV’s signal. (more…)

Dish Network recognized the opportunity and starts offering the Pentagon Channel. Pentagon Channel was started in 2004 by the Department of Defense; it is a nationwide channel running twenty-four hours a day and seven days per week, available to all cable TV and satellite TV providers. (more…)

Filed under:   Posted By: chief @ 3:29 pm

I currently have Dish Satellite in my home. I want to add a TV to my office and connect it to the TV in my Family Room.

Is there a remote that I can use that will go through walls? Other options?

One out of every 10 US households subscribes to Dish Network

» One out of every 10 US households subscribes to Dish Network
Filed under:   Posted By: Tomas @ 4:32 pm

Dish Network satellite TV passed the 11 million customers border. It took the EchoStar Communications company eight years. Dish Network is now the third largest pay TV service in the United States, just before Time Warner Cable television. One out of every ten households in the country subscribes one of the Dish Network’s program packages.

Dish Network has a reputation between its customers for bringing incredible deals, like the first ever digital video recorder 510 for free. The last one million customers took them over a year and a half, though, so growing over these numbers might become a big challenge for them. It will all depend on how effectively will the cable companies, which are so far the victims of the satellite competition, be able to fight against the satellite TV providers. (more…)
