By John P. Ourand
Really big TVs and super-small cameras are "in." That's the consensus of several cable executives who squeezed through the packed halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center for the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month.
We asked eight cable guys to tell us what excited them most at CES. Most had some variation about waiting in 90-minute taxicab lines or trying to see the displays with 150,000...

I am hearing some of you thought I was kidnapped yesterday or something. Actually yesterday I was VERY busy and it was probably my proudest moment since opening the site.
After yesterday's Dish Network press event I met with Charlie Ergen for a bit, after that met with Michael Neuman the President of Dish Network / Echostar. Michael was one of the friendliest people I have ever met and we had a great meeting.
After that we headed to the floor where I...

The video was shot in HD and then since this years theme is down rezing I down rezed the video from 1080i down to 480i. (I know bad joke)
I do appologize about the audio in advance there were times it was very good and other times it was not.
But it gives you a good look at what was going on at both DBS Companies booths.

First of all it is not out yet and they don't know when.
The HD capacity is expected to be 50 hours. It is a 2 tuner design and no ATSC capability. If you want local HDTV channels...

Slogging his bags of equipment and joining him in a couple of interviews gave me a bit of perspective on Scott's interaction with Dish and others. I'd like to share some thoughts....
- I am truly AMAZED at how well known Scott and the site are. For a guy who started a BBS from little or nothing, to someone who is well known in a multi-bazillion dollar industry is quite an achievement.
