That right there is the issue with Cox. You have some competition in your area so you get 250/250 for $58. Those us who's only "competition" is 6M AT&T DSL... Cox rakes us over the coals. $119.99 for 940/35, you can get it down into the $80's if you really try. When I called last week due to it...

Thanks. Turns out I should have waited about an hour to ask this question. They are laying fiber across the street right now. I assume they will do my side of the street next. Luckily this isn't Ma Bell I am dealing with - it's a local electric co-op with much less bureaucracy. I share your...

For those that got OEC Fiber, approximately how long was it from the time they started marking your area until you were able to buy service? They've been on the pole about 6 houses down my street for over a year now. Last week, they marked the utility easement in our backyards for the entire...

I still can't log back into HBO (and likely anything else that authenticates through Dish). I'm trying to be sympathetic due to the reason, but at some point I have to acknowledge that I am not getting the services that I am paying for.

I had the same issue with old episodes being recorded as new. It was right this week though.

I am seeing this alot as well. Times that worked last season with the exact same name and channel are having to be re-created this season.

I guess they are stepping up their game, has been a very rare issue until the last few months. Their loss, now I just don't watch those shows at all

So is it the networks causing this?

Anyone else noticing that the DVR is becoming less effective? Not sure if Dish or the guide provider or someone else is to blame, but I regularly have shows that are airing new episodes, but the timer doesn't pick them up. Shows include most shows on Smithsonian Channel, Battlebots (on...

I will say that I fired up my fire stick in a hotel this morning, hadn't used it in a few weeks. There was an app update, and picture quality looks pretty good on it. I was watching Comedy Central, and could not pause/rewind/fast forward though. Not sure why someone would restrict this - this...

Thank you for the reply. Yes, the tablet originally in question is a 10" tablet. If I can be a beta tester for any versions that potentially fix this, please let me know.

I have observed it on my router. When streaming, my data upload matches my data download nearly exactly (no other devices in the house doing anything besides idle traffic which is minimal) It is a huge risk to those without unlimited data, or with slower connections where this might saturate...

Yep. And I am pretty sure that now it ignores being on your home network, and sends traffic externally before coming back in. You'd think picture quality would be one of the core/top functions of this app. 1 step forward, 20 steps back I guess.

I am aware of that. As I mentioned, speed is not the issue as I am on the local LAN which is more than sufficient. At best, DA uses about 8Mb when streaming based on past tests.

I played it for 10 mins or so. It does improve, but nowhere near HD quality. Text at the bottom like a news ticker is barely readable.
