Kinda sad press conference so far. Spent more time talking about some lame video game league vs. anything actually related to DirecTV or HD.

Could just be the lag in the blogging...

hope so. lots of gaming talk so far.

It's sad that the video was messed up. Seems kind of lame for a broadcast company to not have quality videos to show

Not sure if the blogger was being overly critical though.

 

[bonscott87]

Nah, on Satguys he said "still talking about" the gaming league. So yea, they've been talking it up for over 5 minutes. Methinks they don't understand this isn't South Korea where gaming is the #1 thing to watch on TV.

 

[Earl Bonovich]

He talks about how essentail the new H20 is to their stradagey, what a scary thought.

H20 or HR20?
And what is with the commentary... during the blogging? report what is said... then comment in the recap.

Is this the same guy that did the blog for the Dish Press Conference?

 

[dfergie]

Yep, same guy...

 

[Sixto]

getting better with Eric Shanks on stage ...

The byline says it is the same guy, but i'm not sure.

I was thinking the same thing. Leave your commentary for after the press conference. But, it is a blog, not a news article :scratchin

 

[bonscott87]

Satguys reporter did a better job describing the OnDemand stuff. It was the HR20 as the keystone to their future. The OnDemand actually sounds kinda cool. Looks like we may get to beta it this quarter yet.

I wonder if that apple computer on the table stage right is VIIV compatible??

As we have proven here... the Computer doesn't have to be ViiV. (discussion for another thread, another day)

The SAT2Go unit is the brown unit to the Right of the presenter.
IIRC

SAT-GO?
Interesting.

Does it look the same as the one you have?

 

[bonscott87]

That would be pretty cool camping or tailgating.

 

[Earl Bonovich]

SAT-GO?
Interesting.

It is targeted at the traveler and the tailgater.

 

[Earl Bonovich]

No... don't have one.... yet..

Yeah I know, I just found it a little funny.

If that is the SAT2Go unit it looks a little bulky, but hard to tell from the picture.
