Old school Print123 passes |

Jan 07, 2010 - 8:26 AM - by Rick_James

Since I couldn't find any mention here, long timer in this community passed away recently after a battle with cancer.
Print123 was laid to rest on 12/23.
I know lots here knew him.
Hand down one of the best persons I ever knew in this community.
P123 was a true gentleman, never got involved in any of the petty bickering and was always there to help those whom asked.
Godspeed Print123, I will miss you sorely.

However, we wish to welcome those members to our Site, and hope that you can find your old friends and keep up your friendly correspondences. Just follow our Rules; they're probably no different from where you were before.
Again, welcome to DSS-Newbies (and our sister Site FTA-Newbies).

Sub Growth Slows, While Other Metrics Grow |
|
Nov 15, 2009 - 7:40 AM - by Warlord
|
DirecTV's growth train showed some signs of slowing down in the third quarter, as net new subscriber additions clocked in at 136,000 in the period, slightly behind analyst estimates.
But the satellite giant well outpaced consensus estimates for revenue growth, up 9.7% to $5.5 billion. But the DBS leader missed targets for cash flow growth, ahead 7.7% to $1.34 billion.

|
Nov 15, 2009 - 7:38 AM - by Warlord

"I hate giving away programming. I hate the discounting we do today; in part it does cause you problems on the back end." Ergen said on a conference call with analysts to discuss third-quarter results.
Ergen added... [Read More]

Welcome Back, Eddy |

Well, sort of .... Eddy Hartenstein, the guy who essentially created DIRECTV and ran it until its late 2003 take-over by News Corp, is stepping up his visibility in the satellite industry. This time, he's taking on the troubled waters of SIRIUS XM as non-executive chairman, replacing Gary Parsons. Prior to the satellite radio merger, Hartenstein was board member of XM; he became a director of SIRIUS XM in the summer of 2008.
Never one to decline a challenge, Hartenstein is... [Read More]
