    DirecTV and AT&T Internet combined bill - unlimited Internet?

    AT&T Fiber now has no caps regardless of bundling with any other services. This does not necessarily apply to DSL-based services which may still have caps

    Hopper Plus new hardware??

    There is precedent for how a merger of Dish and DirecTV would work. Two different ways, actually. DirecTV bought Primestar in 1999 and eventually moved every subscriber (who didn't get poached by Dish) over to DirecTV. I don't think that would be a bad idea, especially if they have an army of...

    OWN West SD 279-1

    U-Verse has a lot of west coast feeds and has for a long time. I suspect DirecTV adding them is a consequence of that

    defrag DISH EHD

    Why do you think defragmenting the drive will help with that?

    Meredith announced they put TV Stations for sale

    Turner (part of Warner) and TWC were both based in Atlanta, which probably helps fuel the confusion

    ATSC 3.0 Coming to Hartford in October

    4K is what they'll advertise to consumers to get them to buy new TVs, but the quality of that 4K video will be garbage. They will cram as many subchannels, or, paid content, into their allocations that there will be no bandwidth for a quality 4K HDR signal The actual reason they want people to...

    ATSC 3.0 Coming to Hartford in October

    Not sure if you're ignoring my point about the TV makers not ringing the bell marketing wise until ATSC 3.0 actually delivers something interesting on purpose or not. Eventually when you can do "cool new stuff" with ATSC then the TV makers will have an excuse to push it. Before that, they risk...

    NBCSN Shutdown

    I suspect if they had any immediate plans to do that, they'd have done it at the same time as NBCSN. Obvious candidates are Oxygen and Bravo, but reality TV seems to be what is keeping non-sports cable alive so they are staying put for now

    Streaming Radio

    There's a lot of content on SiriusXM that is exclusive to the service, and if you have a subscription for a car it almost definitely has free streaming included. A lot of people say the same thing about television content, to each their own, I prefer SiriusXM to anything "free" which usually has ads

    Hopper Apps Wish List

    Funny that you guys think customer input matters. The only thing that matters here are the providers paying Dish for placement

    Comcast Rates going UP

    So I don't have any linear TV services anymore, so I had no idea what my local fees were. Comcast in metro Atlanta is charging a whopping $23.45 broadcast TV fee and $12.55 for an RSN fee. Charter in metro Atlanta is charging $17.99 for a broadcast TV fee, and does not list an RSN fee on their...

    Streaming Radio

    Not completely true. SiriusXM does have models that are internet-only. This is the most current model, although it is out of stock at SiriusXM, it may be available from other retailers: Shop SiriusXM - Save more with exclusive offers on radios for your home and car.
