No CE for the first weekend of August

[Scott Greczkowski]

So far a whole lot of nothing. Honestly I thought Doug was working for DIRECTV already.

I'm not sure why I took 10 minutes out of my day to sit through that, but the Sox are down and I needed to fill the gap before the rally...

HD GUI is coming to CE in September.

Yeah that was a waste of time, but I will say two things... 1) Best to Doug Brott in his new job. Doug is a good guy met him at CES a few times. 2) Glad what I was told about the CE was FALSE!

I am proud that we can give true feedback on the CE program without worrying about offending anyone at DIRECTV (or any company for that matter,)

The DIRECTV hardware and software has gotten MUCH better over the years and I believe ALL of the CE'ers have been the reason why. So THANK YOU to everyone who has been a part of the DIRECTV CE Program!

So far the news is Doug Brott is stepping down as a DBSTalk Moderator to work for DIRECTV.

Earl part 2? ... (Those of us that have attended CES have met Doug...)and Congrats to Doug if that is what he wants... ( he is from California)

You must have a secret username. I didn't see a "Scott Greczkowski" in the chat room user list!

That is the biggest culture difference between here and "there" and I think that does make a difference in the end result as far as a class of testers is concerned.

For DirecTV it is analogous to reading a review about the latest Mac OS on a Mac website or reading a review on a tech website. One generally glosses over "the little things" (because they are already sold) while the other offers views from a variety of perspectives.

In any case, hopefully this non-news is good news for future CE conversations on Satguys.

is there going to be CE for the week of August 19th?

Lets hope so, it's been awhile, the CE'ers are usually well ahead of the NR.

Pretty quiet...

Not till after labor day (that's my guess from what I've heard).
