Orby TV

Hey, those are my Orby antennas and the shop roof in the Antenna Man video... I'm a frickin' star (or my roof is... LOL)!!!
 
Antenna man needs to pay you for using your roof as a prop because he does those videos for money.

Rainiersatellite whose puppet accounts also seems to be bigdishjohn, 4dtvfrank, and a few others took the opportunity to advertise. Orby must keep Rainier up at night because he uses these puppet accounts to have conversations with hisself.

Rainiersatellite:
Concerning Orby this is what we know at this point.

As of February 17 2021 reports started coming in about Orby TV going out of business noting their website disappeared except for a static message.

Rainier Satellite contacted Orbys customer help line to find it has a recorded message that Orby is no longer activating customer accounts. Orbys Facebook page appears to have been removed. At Orbys YouTube page all content has been removed.

Sources have been unable to reach Michael Thornton, Orbys CEO, and a former Starz and DIRECTV executive. When they called a Beverly Hills, California phone number listed for Orby at various business web sites, the person answering said it was a private residence which had nothing to do with Orby.

Eric Becker, a former Starz executive who now runs a private public relations firm called Becker PR, has done public relations work for Orby in the past. But when asked today if he knew the satellite TV services status, he said he did not work with Orby any longer and was unaware of its current status. Other reports said that customers cannot log into their accounts any longer.

While there's no official word from Orby TV as of yet this does not look good for its customers.

If Orby TV is in fact shutting down Rainier Satellite would like to reach out to Orby TVs orphans to get on board with us for their TV entertainment at a low cost. Rainier Satellite did the same reaching out to the 4DTV orphans when programming center shutdown in 2016. If your just looking for alternative to high cost cable and small dish check us out. Were financially sound and growing. We offer both consumer and business TV platforms.

Looks as if Orby TV is up to no good. Reports are coming in their website is back up and they're doing installs for $25.00. Anyone with a brain can *see something is wrong there. First they pull all operations down with no response to whats going on, then come back with a too good to be true price for an install without any explanation for customers to what happened. I smell BS. Buyer beware of their shady practices or be ready to be taken just like Tek2000 took unsuspecting fools for a ride. I work hard for my money and don't throw it away foolishly. Shady company's like Orby and Tek should not be allowed to operate.

Even if by some miracle Orby gets a loan to extend them a bit they won't survive long. Their model is all wrong. It costs money to run a satellite business especially the uplink and satellite time costs. $40 a month, pay as you go with maybe 75 subscribers contently changing ain't gonna pay those bills. The way Dish and Direct survive is from 2 year contracts and an average of $120 a month guaranteed from its subscribers. If Orby raised their prices to survive *they would loose their cheaper than dirt audience in an instant.

Something Rainer has going for it that no other satellite or cable provider has is they don't have to maintain the monthly costs of reuplinking signals or run a local network to deliver the programming. This was why c band was a proven success back in the day and the model still works. This allows Rainier to have the working capital to grow and expand, a luxury the others don't have. Economics 101 has buried Orby, plain and simple.

Orby was destined to crash and burn from the start. The clowns hoping it comes back are Tek2000's China Virus backed hackers. I'm sure they were hacking Orby, just like dish and IP. This cut into Orby's bottom line. All the hackers in the world know how to do is steal and destroy, must be retarded. The funny part's when they bankrupt their source of thievery they get all pissed off. Too bad so sad jerks. When you're given enough rope, you hang yourselves.

We can sleep easily at night knowing a guy that spends time talking to hisself is on this.
There is no evidence Orby service stopped for those who paid Or is there evidence Orby is a scam. Unless of course you are Rainier and his host of puppets...
 
Lol, his paid tv subs are made up of mostly completely FREE channels available up on various satellites. I wonder how many suckers he's actually got subscribing to those?
 
I got a Roku recently so now that Orby tv quit I'm trying out Philo tv. Has a 7 day free trial, I just signed up. Mostly all the Channels Orby tv had plus more. Going to see how much Hot spot data It uses so I can see just how long I can watch per day without going over my high speed cap. I would rather use Orby but Philo should be fine and it is $20.00 a month plus tax.

Many months ago, I setup a DTV slimline dish on the Orby sat and was getting an excellent signal. After being with DTV for many years, I tried to convince the wife that we should switch from ATT (DTV) to Orby due to constant billing problems. Glad I didn't switch. Wife is still happy. Streaming is not her forte at this point.

Hope another service pops up to replace Orby with some sound investors.
 
I was cleaning out my old electronics closet this weekend and ran across my Orby Receiver and was just wondering if there is any use for these units anymore or are they pretty much garbage now? They were a good option while they lasted.
 
With a ku dish and 10750 lnb pointed at 117w ku band and tv antenna you can use the Orby receiver. Only about a dozen free channels on satellite and what ever your tv antenna pulls in. Was said Orby TV is coming back with a subscription package but hasn't happened yet.
