Medea Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 :whistle: Kai mia kai milame gia dikasthria>>> Kala krasia, :box: NPS Aims To Fill DISH Net Breach EchoStar's loss of 800,000-plus distant net customers could become the National Programming Service's (NPS) gain. As the court-ordered deadline loomed for the company's DISH Network to cut off all distant network signals, NPS's Mike Mountford struck a last-minute deal with the EchoStar CEO Charlie Ergen to provide service for the subs left out to dry. Under the agreement, which is similar to deals that EchoStar has with other programming vendors, NPS would lease a transponder for $150,000 per month. In exchange, the company would be able to sell its distant signal programming to disenfranchised DISH customers that fit the so-called "white area" criteria. The deal could prove a windfall for NPS which currently has 57,000 C-Band subscribers (an enormously successful C-Band service by today's standards). In order to receive the distant net signals, customers would have to sign up with NPS either through the company's website (http://www.mydistantnetworks.com/) or by phone (800.786.9677). Costs for the signals will range from $2.50/month for one signal to $9/month for all four signals. Potential customers would need to meet qualification criteria for the service and NPS will handle all customer service operations. Once qualified, a DISH customer would receive the distant networks seamlessly through their DISH equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grk101 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 So looking at the ratings chart, Mega dominates most of it, also being the only entertainment channel in the top 10. Spots 8, 9, 10 are filled by sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On New Year's Day, CourtTV began carrying a message on its Web site saying its service is no longer available on DISH Network, EchoStar's DBS offering. The site asks dedicated fans to stand up "to this injustice" and gives viewers a toll-free number they can call about the loss of service. In response, EchoStar said in a statement it regrets the disruption of service. However, prior to the loss of CourtTV, the channel's parent Turner Networks refused to offer an extension in the company's America's Top 120 Package for continued negotiations, the satellite TV company said. "We are working hard to negotiate a fair contract with Turner Networks and CourtTV," said Eric Sahl, senior vice president of programming for EchoStar's DISH Network. "But we must also protect our customers from unreasonable demands. It is not fair to ask our customers to pay a DBS premium for a channel owned by the second largest cable operator, Time Warner. We take pride in offering consumers the best value for pay TV service in the industry, and we remain committed to keeping our cost structure low to the benefit of our customers." EchoStar said it "diligently tried" to reach an agreement with Turner Networks for continued carriage of CourtTV. "Unfortunately, Turner Networks refused to deliver an offer for carriage in America's Top 120 package that fairly reflects CourtTV's overall ratings performance and value," the company said. Nope. Only Harlem Reporter's reports are up-to-date.... :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: Court TV Back on Dish Network Friday February 9, 3:48 pm ET Court TV Restored to EchoStar's TV Network ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- EchoStar Communications Corp. said Friday it has restored the Court TV channel to its Dish Network satellite television service after resolving a fee dispute with Turner Broadcasting System Inc. ADVERTISEMENT The nation's second-largest satellite TV provider pulled the channel Jan. 1 because of the dispute over subscription fees. EchoStar and Atlanta-based TBS said they are pleased with the new financial agreement but did not disclose the terms. The channel has been moved to a second tier of Dish Network programming, which has fewer subscribers. It marks the second settlement of a fee dispute announced this week by Englewood-based EchoStar. On Monday, EchoStar said it had resolved a dispute over licensing fees for the premium channels, HBO and Cinemax. No further details were released. EchoStar's Dish Network has more than 13 million customers.

likos Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 By the way, to "Maria H Asxhmh" einai version tou Amerikanikou "Ugly Betty" klp.. It's really not. Ugly Betty took the telenovella story and elements and turned it into a comedy that acts as a parody of the genre. The greek version follows the telenovella aspect taking itself seriously and just sprinkling around some awkward jokes. Just the very fact that "Maria H Asxhmh" has the top 5 spots of Greek TV viewing tells me how useless these numbers are. As you may know, in the US the more important numbers are demographics, especially of the 18-49 category. And advertisers care about men as much as about women, if not more, because they go after those with lots of disposable income. There is a difference between "Sto Para Pente" which--in its first year at least--was buzz worthy and drew in crowds of all social strata and both sexes and "Maria H Asxhmh" which is mainly just "I ekdikisi tis noikokyras." More men I know watch programs on SKAI TV in Greece than "Maria H Asxhmh." Furthermore, there are differences between the Greek audience and the Greek-speaking American audience, as there are differences between watching a channel for free and paying for that channel (and having to wire the house etc.). I bet that Mega and Globestar did think that if they have the most viewers in Greece then people would just abandon dish network in the US and flock to them. But, alla ta matia toy lagoy...

Well actually Maria H Asximi is a very talked about show in Greece right now.I have seen it being talked about on a number of shows (not only Mega). BTW, this show to my understanding has 300 episodes to it. :blink: I seem to recall Grigori from the morning show mentioning that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlem_reporter Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hot from the Press: DIRECTV continues legal action against bars and restaurants that misuse programming; judgment entered against NY Bar for $50,000 Press Release Source: DIRECTV, Inc. DIRECTV Continues Legal Action Against Bars and Restaurants that Misuse Programming; Judgment Entered Against NY Bar for $50,000 Thursday February 15, 3:05 pm ET Five Lawsuits Filed In 2006 for Commercial Misappropriation of Programming; More Expected in 2007 EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DIRECTV is turning up the heat on restaurants and bars that are misusing or misappropriating DIRECTV programming and recently obtained a $50,000 judgment against a New York bar. DIRECTV has also settled many other commercial misuse cases to date. The $50,000 judgment was the result of a civil lawsuit DIRECTV filed against Bounce Deuce for violations of several federal statutes, including the Cable Communications Act of 1984 (47 U.S.C. 605), which provides for statutory damages of up to $100,000 per violation. The lawsuit against Bounce Deuce was one of five complaints DIRECTV filed last year against commercial establishments in New York and Florida. DIRECTV has several other commercial misuse investigations underway across the country. The judgment was entered against Bounce Deuce for its unauthorized showing of the 2006 NFL SUNDAY TICKET package. DIRECTV filed two other similar civil complaints against NY commercial establishments in December. Those cases are pending in federal court. In April 2006, DIRECTV filed civil complaints against two Florida commercial establishments for the unauthorized public display and misappropriation of DIRECTV residential service for commercial purposes. Both matters have been resolved. "Fraud and commercial misuse are on our front burner this year and we will continue to aggressively target those bars and restaurants who misrepresent themselves as residential accounts to avoid paying the appropriate commercial fees," said James Whalen, vice president, Office of Signal Integrity, DIRECTV, Inc. "This illegal activity is not taken lightly by us or the courts and the fines under federal law are substantial."

Medea Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 FYI - :ph34r: Dish Network does the same thing to people that have residential accounts in a place of business... A small business like a mom and pop deli needs to pay double the amounts of a residential customer to have Greek programming at their place of business... If they get caught with a residential account in a business, they get their accounts shut off and get treated like garbage by the reps at Dish....plus face possibel lawsuits. So let's not pretend that DirecTV is the big bad guy here all the time.. Dish has a notorious reputation for protecting its interests as well..as does every company.
