    Old ui looked cleaner to me

    118 was essentially what Primestar was, a medium powered satellite that required a larger dish and different LNB than what DirecTV and Dish had when they launched with 18" antennas and high powered satellites at 101 and 119 that used the smaller and more modern LNBs. Dish was just cobbling...

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    Makes sense to offer a hotspot, odd it's 4G when I would expect them to use their 5G spectrum.

    No, this is what the TV 2 modulator setup screen looks like.

    The OTA tuners in these weren't the most sensitive, so don't be surprised if it picks up a lot less channels than your TV's tuner. If you're far from the towers and using an indoor antenna, that's common.

    Do you have an OTA antenna connected? You can just do a scan to add channels, that's to add a channel manually.

    I have finally cancelled Dish after 26 years!

    So is mine, I'm 12 miles from the mountain all the towers are on so it has no problem pulling everything in. I'm too far from Tucson (next closest market) to play with any DXing so in the attic it went!

    Most installs there was never a good place to mount them, plus too much wiring it was tough to keep things looking neat. Most installs I zip tied them to the back of the dish. Then the customer would unplug the inserter and wonder why the system went down. Also couldn't work on the system with...

    I have finally cancelled Dish after 26 years!

    Everyone has a different use case and I agree Dish is the best value of all the traditional providers. I've stayed with them because I am able to avoid retrans fees (no other provider lets you pick locals a la carte) and avoid DVR and equipment fees (I have an owned Wally). Couple that with the...

    I have finally cancelled Dish after 26 years!

    Totally understand, I'm probably going to be cancelling Dish when my $30/mo credits expire in 3 months too, nothing wrong with the service just the sad lack of content on cable and OTA TV. YouTube and Pluto are really all I need.
