It hasn’t been divided into 2 1gig partitions for years. Years ago they moved PTAT to the user partition and went to 1.25 & .75 gig partitions

I don't blame, Dish, Direct, or cable in most cases. The programmers are killing the golden goose. With everything doubling, there has to be some cut somewhere and with free OTA and streaming, the consumers are moving in that direction.

They can stay afloat longer. Without the merge, neither may not exist in a few years.

Now that we've reached critical mass that almost all customers have been upgraded (or required to have) HD equipment, do you think we start seeing movement on turning off SD duplicates?

My understanding when it was released was the prime time anytime is its own partition, and everything else is on a separate partition.

Before you investigate what PVR software to use, you should investigate what content your tuner is going to yield. Clear QAM content (what you can tune with a TV or USB stick) is rare and conditional access schemes (such as CableCARD) are fading fast. My local Xfinity has maybe one or two clear...

I am NOT blaming their frontline workforce, and in many cases they too were victims. On a different DiSH-oriented dealer board the guys on there would regularly ridicule DiSH CSRs and co.-direct installers. But the reason the CSRs did and acted as they did, in customer- (and dealer-) negative...

Bigger doesn't necessarily mean more expensive (outside of shipping costs). Your placement options have a lot more to do with what antenna is best for you. Putting the fanciest amplified antenna in an attic isn't going help much.

Looks like it down again.

What I don't see coming however, is those content providers closing up their direct to consumer shops and sticking with the middlemen. They will adjust, bundle and merge to find the right mix to create a sustainable business model. They aren't going back to only the middlemen, and as a result...

I wouldn't say it's just for reasons of security, though regular credit card use itself is much lower for older seniors. Mainly it's simply in having to deal with both technical aspects such as using a "smart" TV and in managing disparate subscriptions. They really just want to watch TV, and...

Oh boy……. Netflix airs 2 Christmas games in '24 in new deal

You said evil, I call it greedy! Find it funny people hammer pro ball players making millions yet they are the top .01%, yet golden parachutes, and CEOs and CFOs make a thousand times more than the average worker who works for them.(and not a peep) Again, take a loss now so you eliminate all...

It doesn't need to be evil corp raises prices. It can be as simple as Amazon is spending a fortune to broadcast one stupid NFL game a week! I don't want my rates increasing for that. But we are, oddly enough, going back to bundling already, but it is a bit worse as it is more fragmented...

Friends, you don’t need me to tell you that the price of everything has gone up. This isn’t a financial blog and it’s for sure not a political one so let’s not get into the reasons why that might be happening. But, it’s a fact that we all have to be more careful with our money than we have in a...

I rarely saw people leaving here because of customer service. Generally the angriest people were complaining about not getting a sweetheart deal. And if anything, Dish's chat team, both here and online was awesome!

Dont worry they way I see it every streaming company as soon as the eliminate the middle man, and will jack prices up right to where we are now, and will control the market and all content!

with all of the scams & hacking of credit cards, banks, etc., who can blame them I know some people that rarely purchase anything on line, but have had their credit card used for purchases they didn't make

You have services like MAX, Peacock, Paramount plus and even Disney + that are all not doing well and most of them have already raised their rates a few times already. Except for Peacock (which I watch WWE Wrestling events on) the others I sign up for a month and cancel them, then go back and...

61 "issues" not counting two Edge emergency updates issued previously. Expect more Edge updates very soon. Some of these "quality improvements" reverse/correct issues created by the April 2024 patches.

Exactly. They were publicly TRAINED not to stay by the general loss of good regard for the provider (vs. competitor) owing to their customer-negative business practices, said training then being REINFORCED by increasing freebies handed out for switching providers. IOW DiSH found itself...

Netflix got the NFL games on Xmas https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2024-nfl-schedule-surprise-netflix-lands-rights-to-nfls-two-christmas-games-as-part-of-three-year-deal/

I've never really figured out why the 2G internal HD is partitioned into two 1 Gig partitions. One is to store the programs and recordings and prime-time any-time. The other is for Dish On Demand and other loaded shows. After all this time, I think that Dish would look at the stats and see...
