Thank you for the info. I think one of their biggest problems is exposure... advertising, publicity,name recognition. Most ads I see advertise direc tv as an option. They also have boring ads on free tv.
They need a better advertising company working for them. I think they are a good company, priced cheap now, but they are having growing pains. Just my opinion... randy...

this should be a good time to buy ussb (<$15). if you think about it, the entire industry is doing pretty good. the cable guys are all losing subs like flies and everybody is latching onto dss.

with cpu prices falling as low as $200, this would no doubt bring more dss subs. this just opens the space for content guys like ussb.

in the cable world, there are tons of hbo and other "premiere" subs. if these guys move to dss, what makes one think that they're gonna give up their hbo and other goodies?

I would like to hear some good news. Yes, I am trying to average down from 29.5 so anything above 20 would be a welcome sight. Try the "Satellite Stocks" forum - there seems to be a lot more chat there than the "USSB" forum. Good luck.

Subject: USSB PR and IR

Sorry Jim, but I don't have good news to report.

I have been trying to reach the USSB investor relations department with my broker for about a month now. I even tried to talk to the marketing director after failing three times to reach an IR person.

Based upon this and some of the feedback that I have seen about their customer service in the Usenet DBS forums, I am giving up in my attempt to repurchase this stock.

This won't help their image any. I'll take a look at USSB again if they show improvement in these important areas.

Best wishes to you.

RE: USSB IR

RP, Thanks, I may give them one more try. I have some tough questions for them.

Slighty off topic - Anybody seen the activity on DISH lately. This whole sector has been hit pretty hard lately. Lots of short term red ink, but promising 1-3 years looking out. Watching closely....
