    Directv Mobile application locals and Sunday Ticket

    New to DTV, I was with Dish for a long period (16 yrs) but the lack of sports finally did me in. That said, the mobile app on Dish was great until the last few updates. Now on Direct, few things. 1) Locals are not always available. I can be down the road and try to get locals and they...

    I think I am ready to leave after 14 years......

    Been with Dish since Sept 2004. I have had my battles with them, but for the most part everything is pretty much ok. Hopper 3, 5 TVs (yes, I know, what the heck), good signal decent price blah blah blah. First we lost Univision. Having a wife from Mexico.....not good. Now HBO. When I...

    Currently with the old skool Fortec Star Lifetime Classic NA. Been reading about the new receiver options. There are apparently a lot more options nowadays. I have tried to do as much reading as possible and gather my information, but it leads to two questions I want to gather opinions on...

    Promo expiring....."call us back"

    I got an email (which is awesome, btw) that I have a few promos that will end on Sept 12. I called Dish today, and they told me to call back on Sept 13th to see what they can do. I told the rep that I have NEVER had to do this in the past with ANY company, that usually they take care of it in...

    722k receiver - Log onto Dish Anywhere on my phone or PC, I keep getting the "Receiver is not online" error message. However, if I send the option to reboot via PC, the receiver reboots, so I know the connectivity is somehow there. If I use my phone to access the DVR and start watching a...

    TV mode on remote with Joey

    Got a Joey system a few months ago, I enjoy it quite a bit. I have noticed that I cannot use my Dish remote to control my TV other than volume, i.e. to change inputs, etc. If I choose the TV button on my remote, it flashes red several times, then goes back to the satellite option. Discuss.

    Receiver formatting?!

    I had to unplug my receiver from the wall yesterday for a few minutes. When I plugged it back in, it went through the normal start-up, then all of a sudden a screen popped up saying that the receiver needed to be formatted. I had no option but to press "OK" or unplug, so I pressed OK. All of...

    Making the switch from DISH, but I need to know the truth about some things....help me please

    Losing AMC, not that big of a deal. Losing my local CBS affiliate Sept 1......not happy, but I lived with the OTA option. Losing B10N.....that's enough. I am tired of being a pawn in the game. I called DirectTV and got a price for what I want. It seems ok. I didn't pull the...

    I am looking for a way to mount all my cabling to my siding on my house. Currently, I have standard P clips that are screwed into the siding, but they seem to break often. I live in Ohio so I get extreme weather, from below zero and a foot of snow to 95+ degree humid days, so I am thinking...

    What am I doing wrong here?

    My FTA dishes are not getting any signal. I have motorized dish that goes from 45-127 degrees. No channels coming through. I thought maybe the aim was off and I needed to reset it, but everything seems fine. I reset the receiver, and still nothing. Then I used my mind and thought for a...

    NFL Red Zone annoying popup

    I love Red Zone. Best idea ever for satellite TV. Did anyone keep getting the popup for "click select for player stats?" I would cancel it.....and 10 secs later it would come back. So I would cancel it, and it would again return. Over and over and over. VERY annoying. Is it just...

    I am in Ohio. I am getting the Wisc-MSU game. ESPN is carrying the OK-TX game. I am blacked out, and on the alternate ESPN channel too. Why am I blacked out if the game is carried on both channels?? If I had cable, I would be getting them both, one on ABC and one on ESPN...

    Mounting an OTA antenna

    Question......don't laugh. I have Dish with my antenna plugged into my receiver to get my local channels. In order to use HD PIP on my TV, I would like to hook up a second antenna directly to my TV. The first one is inside the home, and it does a pretty decent job of getting digital...

    Dish shocked me tonight, but actually in a good way

    I had a question about something I saw on my bill, so I called to get clarification. After answering my question, I asked the rep if there was any way I could lower my bill without losing channels. I figured, it used to work with my cable company, couldn't hurt to just ask..... I have...

    Dish's time on the units....

    Anyone else notice that the time that is on the receivers is usually off by almost a minute. A lot of times, my DVR will catch the tail end of the previous program, and then miss like the last 30 secs of the program I record. I know I can extend record times, but lets say I want to record...
