Thanks to all who participated in the chat!

[Chris Blount]

I would like to personally thank everyone who participated in the first ever DBSTalk live chat during the Dish Network technical forum. It was really a great time with the some very funny moments.

We will definitely be doing this again during the next Charlie Chat which should be on June 10th. We invite you to join us.

Thanks again!

No Chris thank you and the moderators here for the chat. Sorry I had to cut out abruptly but I am on dialup and had to take a few calls tonight. I am looking forward to the next chat event.:)

I don't really know what happened. I think the HTML chat programming just couldn't handle the load. I was expecting that issues might arise and luckily we had the backup chat room ready to go. Thanks to Scott for making that happen.

Now that we have had our "beta test", hopefully the next time will be even better. (Geesh, that sounds like something Dish would say, please excuse me :) )

Chris, at least with you, we're *willing* beta testers. That makes all the difference.

You guys did a great job with the chat. I enjoyed the comments from people who know much more than I do about the technical side of DBS. Little did I know how much questionable information is contained in the Tech Chats.

They were so off base when they said that the component connections for HDTV were the "standard". Right now they are but not for much longer. The IEEE 1394 or firewire connections are the future which will render all of our HDTV's useless for satellite HDTV reception.
