    Is Sling TV in most general cases stable?

    Used to be a DISH customer. Tried to get an upgrade in equipment but after 5+ years as a customer, they didn't want to upgrade my equipment to HD service. I was paying $91 a month for SD service. Since then, I've had Sling for about a year here in Downtown Boise. I have a garbage internet...

    Sling using Dish signals

    Watching Comedy Central on delay right now via my Roku. All the cut-ins are timely and Sling based promos.

    Sling using Dish signals

    This sh*t is STILL HAPPENING on TBS and Comedy Central. Not only are the running POP-TV promos, they are airing the same promo break looped, over and over again. How long does this crap need to continue until they figure out how to cover breaks with decent filler content or perhaps.. ADVERTISING...

    Sling using Dish signals

    You can tell they don't have the cut-in timing or the ability to not break the timecode/digital sync when they try and cover their own DISH promos. When they are trying to cover EVERY DAMN BREAK on TBS or Comedy Central and you have to reload the channel every hour because the program is...

    Sling using Dish signals

    Now, it looks like they are trying to cover some of the commercial breaks on TBS and Cartoon Network with poorly streamed promos and PSA's that look like crap and make me have to reload the channel every 45-60 minutes. I should have just kept my mouth shut. :(

    Sling using Dish signals

    YES! That's exactly what I saw.. A DISH Network promo for POP-TV on Sling's service. I've also seen PPV promos for movies in the 500's also.

    Sling using Dish signals

    I understand Echostar owns/operates both DISH and Sling's services. The very least they could do is replace their promos with services that are actually available on Sling. Example: Watching Comedy Central on Sling and seeing a promo for 'Schnitt's Creek' on POP-TV, A service currently...

    Just Dumped DISH! When do they send 'THE BOX' to you?

    After 4+ years, I decided to jump to the online service for a cheaper price. Paid the final balance. They told me 'A RETURN BOX' would be arriving soon to send back my receiver, LNBF, remotes and smart card. This was 3 weeks ago. How long does it take them to send you 'THE BOX?' I don't want to...

    IFC Issues on SD service

    Been noticing intermittent tile hits about every 10-15 seconds on IFC Channel 133 in SD for the last couple of days. Checked my entire set-up and haven't been able to reproduce the same issues on different channels. Man, I need to upgrade from my 322. :(

    Upgrade/Out of Contract Question?

    No. He opened up a second account on his credit to wave the connection fee. When I get a bill, it has my name on it but when we get any kind of online correspondence, it hits my email account in his name.

    Upgrade/Out of Contract Question?

    Moved to my current location back in July 2012 and hooked up Dish. Had to do so on my Uncle's credit but they hooked us up with an secondary account, AT250 and a 322 receiver for 2SD TV's. Since then, I've upgraded to an HDTV set. I want to get hooked up with the same set-up yet get an HD/SD...

    USA-SD Tile/Signal Tearing

    I've seen it consistently during the overnight hours for the last week or 10 days. Watching House and Law & Order: SVU this morning, the issues have seemed to disappear. I had seen the same issues intermittently during the daytime/prime time hours only on USA-HD also.

    USA-SD Tile/Signal Tearing

    I've noticed this issue at night/overnight with USA-SD.. During programming from USA, the source signal has continuous intermittent spikes and tiling issues. Did a fair amount of trouble shooting with my equipment and found no issues in the set-up. The issue doesn't happen when Dish cuts away to...
