Last week DISH Network had their annual Team Summit event, which was held this year in California. They had their big General assembly and announced a few things of interest to our members.
I reported this information first to our support Pub Members who have truly been the ones keeping our lights on here at SatelliteGuys. But now that they had their look here is the look for everyone else.
So here we go…
First a new easier to use Remote is coming. It is the 60.0 remote. This new remote has a nice flat premium feel, and low usage buttons were removed. It also features easy access to Voice Control. It is backlit and had large text for easy readability. The spec sheet is shown in the attachments below.
Secondly Picture in Picture is coming to the Joeys. Picture on Picture will work so you can view your live satellite programming in PIP. (Note it does not do PIP for DISH's streaming channels or 4K channels.) The PIP offers 2 size PIP boxes as well as side by side, and you can move the pip boxes to one of 9 different locations on your screen. Flipping between the pip is as easy as pressing one button on your remote. So soon when you select the PIP option in the options menu, it will work and not give you the message about this feature not being available.
They are going to be launching a big attack ad campaign against DIRECTV saying it has gone to the birds. They will be having a new deal to get people to switch including 3 free months and a free hopper and Joey. In fact it appears they launched this campaign this morning as I posted a press release about it.
Now finally... as I mentioned in the beginning I posted this info last week for our supporting Pub Members, I did this as a thank you for them helping us stay online, or as I like saying, keeping the lights on here at SatelliteGuys. Truth of the matter our ads are not paying enough anymore to keep the site going. Below is an image of our Google Adsense earnings.
As I mentioned in the Pub Members area I am thinking of making the site ad free but need to figure out a way to do so. So your support and ideas is welcome.
Thanks for being SatelliteGuys!
