Cool. Is that their dish for the 121 location, or multiple (110,119,121)?

[Lee L]

It only looks like a twin LNB.

Also, how can they sell a 6000 and a 40" TV for $1400?

You need to make a 10 year commitment to the Everything package and credit card autopay;)

Yea, what slots is this Dish for???

[Scott Greczkowski]

I have looked at the pictures, and what I see is a painted StarBand Dish in one of the pics the LNB is a Twin, and in another its only a single LNB.

Obviously mock ups just to gain some interest.

I don't know about you but I don't think I want to have an advertisement that I have a HDTV on my front lawn. :)

It's not big enough to be a Starband type dish. It looks more like the 3 slot D* dish. Probably is one of those spray painted.

Well guess they will not call it the Dish1000... But, will it come in multiple colors or just the grey?

Also, notice HDTV plastered on it, implying they are going to move HDTV to one of the 3 satellites... But, then you never know...

Also, how can they sell a 6000 and a 40" TV for $1400?Remember, Dish Network equipment is subsidized. So they would be selling this combo at pretty close to break even, rather than trying to generate the significant margins that you see on HDTV displays in the CE industry. Of course, I expect anyone buying this package would have to commit to at least a year of programming, and possibly two or three years.

Just to point out - from the last picture (above mentioned link) i can't see 6000 IRD in the ad :) ...
LOL - it may very well be (do not get me wrong) - but all the picture says: "Complete Satellite TV System...with 40 inch HD TV monitor"
No mention of 6000 (not on the picture anyhow)

[Chaos]

Keep in mind that since they're having the TV manufactured for them that the receiver is likely a 211. Much cheaper to make than the 6000.

I see the 6000 at the bottom.
