Large companies hire technical specialists as permanent employees to maintain their telecom equipment and carrier services. Small and medium sized companies most likely look to their network administrator, office manager or other administrative person to maintain their telecommunications equipment and service. When telecom issues arise, both large and small companies often rely upon outside vendors and carriers to solve these problems as quickly as possible.
Although strategies for intervening in conflict can be varied and creative, successful intervention strategies do have certain themes in common. The single most important guideline is to insist that all parties to the conflict be treated with respect.
There is a caveat; however, in that digital currently transmits through three
different technologies. This can lead to some problems with coverage. If you are
on a TDMA (time-division multiple access) system and traveling in an area that
has digital coverage that’s CDMA (code-division multiple access), you could run
into problems.
Fortunately Dish Network has anticipated this problem and provides a technological solution through it’s Electronic Program Guide. The Electronic Program Guide is the central piece of software on all Dish Network receiver boxes and makes it easy to navigate all of the channels in your subscription. When you bring up the Electronic Program Guide, a table listing all of the available programs comes up on your screen. Each program occupies a cell of the table which includes helpful information like when the program was made, who the actors or hosts are, and often information about the subject matter or plot. You can scroll up and down through the table to see what’s on different channels and left or right to see what’s on at different times. On some receiver models, you can even see what programs are scheduled to be aired up to nine days in advance! The Electronic Program Guide also lets you and everyone else in your family assemble lists of your favorite channels, so you can quickly go to the shows you want to watch without having to sort through all of the channels everyone else insisted on subscribing to.
