biz.yahoo.com My relatives listed several gift ideas for Granny's Christmas present, including a DISH satellite. Think I'll tell them about this and get her something she'll use!

I think that there will be a push on 1000's...this may very well end up being a "giveaway" on a future promo for programming commitments. The only down side is, there are no buttons on the front of the unit. If the remote goes down, you can't work the receiver. I sold a number of Drake C-band recievers, model ESR1624 that had no buttons. It was fortunate that we did not have alot of problems, but then again, Drake really didn't have any major remote problems, as compared to the degree at which Echostar does..Suggestion to dealers..keep twice as many remotes on hand than you normally do..You may need them - Jeff :-)
