Works much better (faster, at least) than any of my Android TV boxes. Very nice.

The closest streamer to the “ease” of satellite/cable is DIRECTV Stream and their Osprey box & remote. Sans DVR, Guide or channel numbers, everyone else does take a bit longer to navigate to those respective points, depending on where you are in their menus. That’s the only real negative in each...

SIRIUS can be canceled easily via online chat. Takes 5-10 minutes. I do it every year when my $5/mo offer expires. Just tell them you sold the car. I've "sold" the same car multiple times.

You’d be surprised how tech advanced many farms are.

Other than live sports and news, there is really no need for linear TV anymore for much of America. We've become accustomed to an "on demand world" where anything we want to watch is available when and where we want it: from music to movies/tv. Linear television requires a user to set...

A Tuesday channel addition? Doesn’t DISH usually launch channels on Wednesdays?

Let's discuss that possibility. Is it one? Would DISH really just close up shop? For those more educated on the matter than me (i.e., most), what are the worst case, best case and most probable case scenarios?

"A space event" sounds like something external to the satellite having a mechanical issue. I suppose we'll never know exactly what that "event" was...

Hopper+ still available to add to new orders on DISH's website...

Pursuit is now in HD, but only available via streaming. So, picture quality upgrade, but usability downgrade because you can't record streaming channels. If this is the way of the future, they need to work on a way to have the Hopper 3 capture and record the stream. It already *kinda* does...

That was MY question. ;)

611+ days without MeTV on DISH. If it's never coming back, why is the channel still in the guide?

It's CBS shows, CBS News, Paramount Movies, original series (some are terrific: "1883" and "Strange New Worlds", in particular), Nickelodeon, MTV, Smithsonian Channel, BET, and Comedy Central. The upper tier gets you Showtime and your live CBS channel.

Are they offering the FULL Paramount+ catalog and app access, or select programming (like DISH)? This thread on Reddit is saying it’s just select: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubetv/s/EW9G8HlViI

I'm a bit surprised at that since HULU and SPECTRUM are offering Paramount+ app access to subscribers of Paramount+ with Showtime (and DIRECTV will soon). You would think to stay competitive they'd have to do similarly.
