    Reset Showtime

    I watch Showtime Go with my Firestick. Previously it was through DISH and later Spectrum. With both of them I have an issue where I am frequently asked to enter a new access code. I do not have this issue with other similar apps. Just wondering if anyone else is getting this.

    Said Goodbye to DISH

    After about 20 years I've dropped DISH. I was paying separately for TV, Phone and Internet to 3 providers. I got a bundle offer I couldn't refuse from Spectrum which gives me more TV, internet and phone for less than I was paying DISH alone. So far only issue is getting used to new remote and...

    New Look

    I'm not sure that this is the best place to post this, but I just wanted to congratulate those that run this site on the new look. It is clean, attractive and efficient.

    Have Sat TV - Who provides your internet service.

    I have DISH for TV. For my internet I used the local cable company's 'basic service'. This was their cheapest option. In addition to the internet it provides local and some non-scrambled cable without needing a box. The price of this has been going up. Any suggestions besides dropping DISH and...

    DISH Issue?

    I have Showtime GO linked with my DISH account. Every few weeks when I try to watch it asks for a new validation code. When trying to enter it on the Showtime site, the process is a bit dodgy. Any body else experience this?

    Splat

    I saw that Nickelodeon is launching Splat. This is a vehicle for its 90’s programming like Rugrats and Hey Arnold. I don’t know if it will be a separate channel or just a programming block on an existing one. If a new channel, what are the chances DISH will have it given their warm relationship...

    Why is Backdoor and Legal Closed?

    I’m curious why the thread was closed. I understand we do not want to encourage hacks or any illegal activity, but it did raise in interesting question. I suspect the activity described is likely illegal, but should it be? I can understand in the case of cable where they bring a wire to the...

    Just Been Polled

    I just answered a fairly extensive online poll from DISH. Other than the usual demographic questions I sensed a great interest in peoples use of streaming media as an alternative to conventiional TV delivery systems. Anyone else get this?

    Closed Captioning

    This may not be a DISH question, but that is how I veiw TV programs. My wife has bit of trouble hearing so we often have the CC turned on. I have noticed the the syncing of the captions to the on screen action can vary quite wildly, from spot on to behind by nearly a minute. I can't say if the...

    Nice Job on the Holiday Theme

    :)Maybe this does not belong on the DISH page, but I wanted to give a tip o’ the cap to whoever did the holiday theme for the site. Nicely done.

    Newscorp Buys Into YES Network

    I see Newscorp has acquired a piece of YES. Do you think that they will apply their clout to get DISH to carry it again?

    Christmas Music

    My wife was overjoyed yesterday when I showed her that DISH had started the Christmas music channels for this year. It seems that they start earlier and earlier.

    Possible Switch

    Currently I have Bright House basic (no boxes) and internet (Earthlink as ISP). I also have multiplexed onto two lines, DISH satellite. I am increasingly fed up with DISH and would like to reduce what I get from them, possibly eliminate them altogether and expand my Bright House service. I have...

    Thanks Charlie

    Last night, Johann Santana pitched the first ever no-hitter for the METS. I was born and raised in Queens and have been a fan since the creation of the team. Thanks to DISH's pettiness in negotiating with SNY I did not get to see it. To be fair, I no longer live in NY and have 'moved' to still...

    TV Japan Question

    I noticed recently that TVJPN started showing up in my directory. I guess this is a subscription channel, but sometimes it appears as normal. Curious, I selected it one of those times and I got a lost signal message. Looking at The List on this site I see it is is a spot beam channel. Now as I...

    EPIX Drive In Picture Quality

    I was looking at a movie yesterday evening on EPIX Drive in SD. I know, why watch any of the 10 crummy movies they seem to show over and over. Anyway, in addition to being a bad movie, there was a major pixilisation issue. It was a clear night with no problems on other channels. Is this just...

    NYC HD Spot beam?

    If this has been covered somewhere I apologize for the new thread. I did a search and could not find an answer. I am living in the Tampa area and have 'moved' to continue to receive NYC (where I'm from) SD programming. I am considering upgrading to HD. If I do so will I be able to get NYC...

    NY HD

    I've 'moved' so I am getting NY city locals. The major networks are wide beam. The smaller channels and WNET (NY PBS) are spot beam. I have not gone to HD yet. And before I do I was wondering, Are NY HD locals spot beam or nationally available? - Thanks

    New to SG site - Reception Issue

    Hi, I came to this site via Google. I've been a DISH subscriber for about 10 years in 2 locations. If I've had any problems I let their techs take care of it. But recently I have been having some problems and have decided to become more hands on. The issue is this. I have a DISH 500 pointed at...
