New Starlink dish kit enables services ‘on any moving land object’ - SpaceNews
TAMPA, Fla. — SpaceX started taking pre-orders Oct. 25 for a flat panel antenna that enables land vehicles to use its Starlink broadband service while in motion.
The company aims to make deliveries starting in December for an upgraded Starlink for RVs service, which currently only comes with a standard $599 Starlink dish designed for stationary use.
The flat panel antenna will cost subscribers $2,500 and is better suited for moving vehicles because its wide area of view can connect to more satellites, according to SpaceX. The company has warned customers that using any other Starlink dish on the go will void their limited warranty.
Despite being primarily marketed to owners of RVs (recreational vehicles), SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweeted that the in-motion service works “on any moving land object” that can fit a dish with a little over half a square meter of surface area.
The flat panel antenna also comes with enhanced GPS capabilities to keep connectivity consistent on the go, SpaceX said, is “resilient in harsh environments,” and is designed for permanent installation on a vehicle.
Starlink for RVs will cost the same $135 per month in the U.S., regardless of the antenna, for connection speeds that are throttled during peak hours to prioritize customers on residential and other Starlink service plans.
The new service will be ready before the end of the year for “select markets” where Starlink has regulatory clearances for providing in-motion connectivity, the company said.
These markets include the United States, although SpaceX says current capacity constraints mean high-speed, low-latency services are not guaranteed around the country’s southeast during peak hours.
The standard Starlink for RVs antenna remains available and can be shipped within two weeks — even to customers in low-capacity areas subject to waitlists extending into 2023 on other Starlink service plans.
Starlink for RVs had more than 100,000 customers as of the middle of October despite being launched just five months earlier.
Customers that want to use the service on the move must install Starlink’s flat panel antenna with a wedge mount that is included in their kit, according to SpaceX’s website.
Those not confident in their DIY skills can use third-party installers from companies that include Winegard, a connectivity equipment provider that announced a reseller agreement with Starlink Oct. 25.
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission gave Starlink permission June 30 to connect vehicles, boats and aircraft on the move.
Starlink launched a maritime-focused service plan a week later, and in Oct. 18 started accepting pre-orders for customers looking to use the broadband network in the air.

Dish Network chairman-backed SPAC in talks to buy wireless business unit - Reuters
/cloudfront-us-east-2.images.arcpublishing.com/reuters/BRR4XCROWNOH5FU6IJQ36PUF5Q.jpg)
Oct 12 (Reuters) - Blank-check firm CONX Corp (CONX.O), backed by Dish Network Corp (DISH.O) Chairman Charles Ergen, said on Wednesday it has begun preliminary discussions to acquire Dish's retail wireless unit, Boost Mobile.
The special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) said it will appoint a special committee of independent and disinterested directors to evaluate and approve the terms of any deal with the pay-TV and wireless carrier.
Dish confirmed that it was in preliminary talks with CONX. "We do not intend to provide further updates unless and until those discussions conclude in agreement as to a transaction," a company spokesperson said in an email to Reuters.
Dish acquired Boost Mobile in 2020 as part of the T-Mobile (TMUS.O) and Sprint merger after the companies agreed to divest some assets including some wireless spectrum to create a new wireless competitor. read more
CONX also asked its stockholders to vote in favor of a proposal to extend the date by which it must complete a business combination with Boost Mobile from Nov. 3, 2022 to June 3, 2023. A special meeting of its stockholders will be held on Oct. 31, it added.

Neurons in a dish learn to play Pong — what's next? - Nature.com
Hundreds of thousands of human neurons growing in a dish coated with electrodes have been taught to play a version of the classic computer game Pong1.
In doing so, the cells join a growing pantheon of Pong players, including pigs taught to manipulate joysticks with their snout2 and monkeys wired to control the game with their minds. (Google’s DeepMind artificial-intelligence (AI) algorithms mastered Pong many years ago3 and have moved on to more-sophisticated computer games such as StarCraft II4.)
The gamer cells respond not to visual cues on a screen but to electrical signals from the electrodes in the dish. These electrodes both stimulate the cells and record changes in neuronal activity. Researchers then converted the stimulation signals and the cellular responses into a visual depiction of the game. The results are reported today in Neuron.
Intelligence in a dish
The work is a proof of principle that neurons in a dish can learn and exhibit basic signs of intelligence, says lead author Brett Kagan, chief scientific officer at Cortical Labs in Melbourne, Australia. “In current textbooks, neurons are thought of predominantly in terms of their implication for human or animal biology,” he says. “They’re not thought about as an information processor, but a neuron is this amazing system that can process information in real time with very low power consumption.”
Although the company calls its system DishBrain, the neurons are a far cry from an actual brain, Kagan says, and show no signs of consciousness. The definition of intelligence is also hotly debated; Kagan defines it as the ability to collate information and apply it in an adaptive behaviour in a given environment.
Cortical Labs’ work follows on work by neuroengineer Steve Potter, now at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, and his colleagues. In 2008, the team reported that neurons cultured from rats can exhibit learning and goal-directed behaviour5,6.
The work from Cortical Labs brings more-sophisticated technology and analytical tools to bear, says Potter. His original dishes had dozens of electrodes; each DishBrain has thousands. Potter’s group studied only rodent cells, but the DishBrain team also tested neurons derived from human cells.
The researchers used their system to teach the neurons to respond to an electrical signal that is a substitute for the ball in Pong. In the game, a player slides a vertical paddle up and down the screen to intercept a bouncing ball. In the experiment, the neurons controlled the paddle.
The authors represented the route of the ball by stimulating neurons along the ball’s path relative to the paddle. Responses from neurons in another region of the network were used to move the paddle up or down.
To teach the neurons to hit the ball, Kagan says he and his team harnessed the theory that neurons tend to repeat activity that yields a predictable environment. When the neurons responded in a way that corresponded with hitting the ball, they were stimulated in a location and at a frequency that was the same each time. If they missed the ball, the network was stimulated by the electrodes in random locations and at different frequencies. Over time, the neurons learned to hit the ball to receive the patterned response rather than the random one.
Not just a game
The work is an important step towards developing assays that could be used, for example, to test the potential effect of a new drug on neuronal function, says neuroscientist Takuya Isomura at the Riken Center for Brain Science in Saitama, Japan. But, he adds, it is not yet clear whether the neurons were behaving as they did to create a predictable environment, or in response to some other aspect of the signals they received. "I think the important next step is a detailed explanation of what kind of stimuli can actually make that difference," he says.
Cortical Labs also aims to eventually use neurons to develop “biological processing units” for use in computing. And the techniques developed for DishBrain are quantitative enough that they could be used to compare variations in learning between different animals, or between cells from multiple regions of the brain, says Potter.
In the meantime, he says, the decision to embody DishBrain activity as the game Pong was a masterstroke. “People interested in AI are very keen on anything that can play Pong,” Potter says. “That was a brilliant decision.”

Playing hardball: Pac-12 Network takes Dish to court, claims breach of contract - The Mercury News
The Pac-12 Network is suing Dish Network, one of its broadcast partners, for withholding payments and violating the terms of their distribution agreement.
The Pac-12 is seeking damages and injunctive relief in order “to both recoup the license fees Dish has already improperly withheld and to prevent any continued withholding of fees due under the parties’ agreement,” according to the lawsuit, which was filed Oct. 6 in U.S. District Court in Colorado. (Dish is located in Englewood, outside of Denver.)
The Hotline obtained a copy of the lawsuit, which features significant redactions covering the financial terms of the distribution contract, the licensing fees Dish is withholding and the damages sought.
Dish declined to comment per its policy on “ongoing litigation matters.”
The Pac-12 also declined to comment.
Two sources with backgrounds in sports media contracts were asked to review the lawsuit. One described the case as appearing “straightforward” in that Dish “tried to renege on a payment deal.” But both acknowledged the redactions make definitive conclusions difficult.
The dispute stems from the 2020 football season heavily impacted by COVID.
According to the lawsuit, Dish pays a monthly fee based on the number of subscribers to the Pac-12 Network. Dish is entitled to a rebate if the network doesn’t broadcast a minimum number of games each season.
Typically, that’s about 36 games. But in 2020, the Pac-12 Network showed only one game: San Diego State at Colorado, the lone non-conference matchup of the COVID season. (The rest were broadcast by ESPN and Fox and thus governed by separate contracts.)
In February ’22, the Pac-12 offered Dish a rebate for the 2020 season that was “calculated pursuant to the parties’ agreed-upon rebate provision,” according to the lawsuit. The offer was accepted a month later.
But Dish “also inexplicably demanded from the Pac-12 additional rebates for the two contract years before 2020-21,” per the lawsuit. The explanation for Dish demanding additional rebates is redacted.
The Pac-12 contends that Dish’s position is “improper and unreasonable” because Dish “could not possibly have suffered losses during the 2018-19 and 2019-20 contract years from COVID-19-related football shortfalls occurring one to two years thereafter.”
But the dispute isn’t limited to the COVID season.
According to the lawsuit, Dish “began to unilaterally withhold license fees from Pac-12 amounting to (redacted). To date, it has already withheld license fees amounting to (redacted). This exceeds (redacted) by the allowable rebate of (redacted).”
Because of the redactions, the Hotline’s sources were left wondering how Dish concluded that the shortfall in 2020 impacted the prior years and, therefore, prompted the decision to withhold present-day payments.
“What’s the justification?” one source said.
In the last fiscal year prior to the pandemic, the Pac-12 Network generated approximately $120 million in revenue, much of it through distribution agreements with an array of providers, including Comcast, Charter and Dish.
As a result of Dish withholding the payments, the lawsuit states:
“DISH’s demands and self-help actions have severe and immediate consequences for (the) Pac-12 and the Conference, and punish the academic institutions they represent for a pandemic over which they had no control. Dish seeks multiple recoveries for the same missed games, an unduly punitive position that has no basis in the parties’ contract.”
The complaint includes a demand for a jury trial.
Dish’s stock price has dropped approximately 70 percent in the past year. The company was recently embroiled in a carriage dispute with Disney.

DISH Wins $26.5m Pirate IPTV Judgment But Might Not Get a Penny - TorrentFreak
Home > Lawsuits > IPTV and Streaming >
DISH Network has won yet another significant damages award following a lawsuit filed against a pirate IPTV supplier. The U.S. broadcaster filed a complaint against My Indian TV in August 2021, but the service stayed online until this April. DISH will now take control of the service's domains but whether it will see any of the $26.5m awarded by a New York court remains to be seen.
Following more than a year of legal action, DISH Network has booked yet another big money win against yet another pirate IPTV provider targeting the United States.
DISH filed its complaint against My Indian TV in a New York district in August 2021, describing the defendant as a global pirate television service. The broadcaster said that the IPTV platform transmitted channels originating from India and Pakistan to customers in the United States, violating the exclusive licenses it holds for the entire country.
Subscriptions to My Indian TV were advertised on Twitter and YouTube. Starting at $14.95 per month, customers were promised HD quality via browsers, Android and iOS apps, and a custom Kodi addon. After attempts by DISH to shut the IPTV service down came to nothing, the company responded with its lawsuit alleging direct copyright infringement (17 U.S. Code § 106) and secondary infringement in 177 registered works.
DISH Awarded $26.5m in Copyright Infringement Damages
In a judgment handed down yesterday by District Court Judge J. Paul Oetken, two operators of My Indian TV are found directly and secondarily liable for infringing DISH’s exclusive rights to distribute and perform the licensed channels and the copyrighted programs within.
The Court found that the defendants captured the programs and converted them to “internet-friendly” formats, transmitted them to subscribers in the United States, and unlawfully publicly performed and distributed the copyrighted content.
By marketing and advertising My Indian TV as a piracy service, knowingly facilitating subscriber access, and knowingly inducing infringement of DISH’s exclusive rights, the defendants demonstrated willfulness and actual knowledge of their infringing activities, the judgment adds.
The Court found the defendants jointly and severally liable for each act of infringement because they “personally directed, authorized, supervised, or participated in, and financially benefited from” infringing conduct. Describing that conduct as willful, malicious, intentional, and purposeful, they were hit with an injunction and ordered to pay damages of $150,000 for each of the 177 registered works, $26,550,000 overall.
IBCAP Celebrates Big Win
The International Broadcaster Coalition Against Piracy (IBCAP) today celebrated the award on behalf of member and plaintiff, DISH Network.
IBCAP says it coordinated and supported the lawsuit against My Indian TV and welcomes the broad injunction. It prohibits future infringement such as sales and marketing, and restrains hosting companies and CDNs from providing services facilitating such infringement. On top, domain name registries and registrars must transfer the IPTV service’s domains to DISH.
“This case marks yet another victory where IBCAP coordinated a lawsuit with its member companies resulting in the shutdown of a major pirate service in the U.S.,” says Chris Kuelling, executive director of IBCAP.
“With broad injunctive tools such as prohibitions against CDNs and hosting providers supporting the pirate service, banning retailers from selling the pirate services and transfers of key domain names used by the pirate operators, we can cripple pirate services to a point where they have no choice but to exit the market.”
DISH and IBCAP are clearly pleased that My Indian TV is now offline, something that appears directly attributable to the lawsuit. Yesterday’s injunction will also help to stop My Indian TV from reestablishing itself but, in this case, it wasn’t responsible for the service exiting the market.
Lawsuit Was a Massive But One-Sided Effort
When DISH filed its complaint more than a year ago, the company revealed it had no idea who it was targeting because the defendants had taken “elaborate steps” to conceal their identities. A two-year investigation revealed account names and IP addresses but what DISH really needed was real names and physical addresses. Expedited discovery against third-party entities doing business with My Indian TV might turn those up. The court agreed.
On March 30, 2022, DISH filed an amended complaint naming Sanjeev Kumar and Tsvetomir Dobrilov as the alleged operators of My Indian TV and just over a week later permission was granted to serve both via email. Just days later, users began complaining that the service had gone down unexpectedly. According to DNS records, My Indian TV was last seen on April 13, 2022, and it hasn’t been seen since.
DISH Network’s motion for default judgment was served on Kumar and Dobrilov by sending a link to a Dropbox folder, as instructed by the Court. There’s no indication that there was a better way to contact the men or that DISH has since obtained their physical addresses, wherever they are in the world.
That raises the question of whether $26.5 million in damages will ever find their way to DISH. Given its track record, the company seems unlikely to give up trying.

Dish's 'New 5G Network' Remains Kind Of A Mess - Techdirt
from the good-luck-with-that dept
You might recall that the Trump administration “fix” to the competition and layoff problems created by the Sprint T-Mobile merger (which consolidated four major wireless players into three major players) was to have Dish build a new 5G network. But the effort has been a sloppy mess from the start, and three months into its commercial launch, there’s not a whole lot of indication it’s gotten much better.
The Verge has been putting the Dish network through its paces, and continues to come away disappointed, noting that the network still only supports one phone, coverage is spotty at best, and the company couldn’t even be bothered to build a working customer support portal:
Perhaps the biggest missing piece for Project Genesis is any sort of account management system. Because of some launch-day issues that have since been resolved, I had to sign up with a service address that isn’t actually my home address. To change it, I had to contact support because there’s currently no web portal or screen in the app that lets you see or change those details.
As we noted a few times, the proposal was never likely to succeed.
One, because Dish had no track record in this space outside of a parade of empty promises. Two, because the remaining three providers (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile) and Wall Street want less price competition and would be incentivized at every step to ensure it fails. And three, because an incompetent and feckless FCC (displaying various degrees of said incompetence and fecklessness under both parties) would not likely dole out more than wrist slaps should Dish miss major build out milestones.
Under FCC and DOJ merger rules, Dish’s semi-functional 5G network has to cover 70% of the population by next June and 75% of the U.S. by 2025. And then of course it needs to attract consumers and remain financially viable, which will be hard to do without phone selection or working customer service.
Despite bubbly banter from telecom trade mags, Dish hasn’t shown the competency to pull this off. At any point. And the FCC (be it under Trump or Biden) hasn’t shown it’s competent enough to hold Dish’s feet to the fire. At any point. Dish also continues to bleed money from its sagging satellite TV and existing wireless business (which was supposed to cushion the huge costs of building out this giant 5G network).
I still tend to think Dish drags the feckless FCC along for a few years before the company sells whatever it has built and its huge spectrum holdings to somebody like Verizon. At which point the FCC (maybe?) doles out a few wrist slaps for missing key milestones (which will be blamed on COVID, inflation, or antifa), and Dish CEO Charlie Ergen wanders off into the sunset of retirement.
And I’m still not entirely sure that wasn’t the whole goal from the start. Kind of a dumb stage play that extends Dish’s publicly traded life span a few years while spectrum assets appreciate, but primarily provides flimsy justification for approving mindless industry consolidation.

Dish Network/Disney dispute: How to watch Mets vs. Braves if you have Dish Network or Sling TV - DraftKings Nation
The Atlanta Braves host the New York Mets on Sunday in a huge divisional showdown. The Braves head into the game with a one-game lead in the division race. There are four games left on the schedule for both teams, so a Braves would give them a huge advantage heading into the final three games of the season.
The game is set to air on ESPN as the Sunday Night Baseball game with first pitch set for 7 p.m. ET. Most of America will have no trouble watching this game on their TV package or through their streaming service. However, if you have Dish Network or its streaming service Sling TV, you will not be able to watch the game as you normally would.
Dish Network is in the middle of a contract dispute with Disney and that has resulted in Dish and Sling TV dropping their Disney packages. The packages include all the notable ESPN channels as well as FX, Freeform, National Geographic, Disney Channel and various local ABC affiliates. The channels were dropped early Saturday morning when the contract expired.
Ideally the two companies will figure out a solution, but it will probably take some time. In the meantime, there are some short-term free alternatives you can use to watch tonight’s Mets-Braves game.
FuboTV offers a free seven-day trial and YouTube TV offers a 21-day free trial, with both offering ESPN. You’ll be prompted for payment information before the free trial begins, so if you don’t plan on using the service after the free trial, make sure to set a reminder ahead of the expiration of either service.

How to watch the Singapore Grand Prix if you have Dish Network or Sling TV - DraftKings Nation
The 2022 Singapore Grand Prix is getting underway this morning after a rain delay, but if you are a Dish Network or Sling TV subscriber, you are unable to watch the race. The F1 race is scheduled to air on ESPN2 and a contract dispute has resulted in Dish and Sling TV dropping their Disney packages. Those include all the notable ESPN channels as well as FX, Freeform, National Geographic, Disney Channel and various local ABC affiliates.
There are some temporary alternatives while we wait for all parties involve to sort out their nonsense. The two most notable options are FuboTV and YouTube TV.
FuboTV offers a free seven-day trial that provides the full ESPN slate. Make sure you set a reminder for a week from now if you don’t want to continue to pay $69.99/month for the service going forward, as you’ll be prompted to put your payment information in before the free trial begins.
YouTube TV also offers a 21-day free trial and carries ESPN games on their platform.
