    MeTV Removed from Dish

    I don't see it either yet. My guess is that it will show up either today with a slate saying this is the new home of this channel, or else it will just show up on Tuesday when it launches.

    No Programming Offers on my Dish Account

    I very rarely take advantage of the offers because they are not things that I use all the time. I used to always do the multi-sport pack for 50% off, but since the RSN's were removed, that has basically turned into just the Redzone channel + Outside Television pack (for someone who has AT250)...

    MeTV Removed from Dish

    I thought it was going to be on channel 239 - the slot that Newsnation just left. Thanks for pointing this info out!

    MeTV Removed from Dish

    Dish normally does the channel additions/changes early Wednesday afternoon or very early Thursday mornings. The thing is that channel is launching on Tuesday. Dish has added channels at random times as soon as they come to a contract. They did that with MLB Network years ago where it was...

    No Programming Offers on my Dish Account

    Does it work on a computer? I have had some issues on different browsers where specific areas of the Dish webpage don't load. I had an issue with the offers at one point, as well as the packages specific channels are available in. For example, when you go to MyDISH you should see the packages...

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    You could see this coming a mile away after how good the viewership was this year on Christmas. Even though the NFL earlier said "no" to playing on Christmas this year because it is on a Wednesday, it looks like they are going to have football on Wednesday this season. This year that means...

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    I was going to say - out of the Bears quarterbacks in my time, which I started following the Bears when Erik Kramer was our QB, I don't recall any of them going on and winning playoff games or Super Bowls. We have picked up some QB's that had success other places but then when they moved on...

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    And almost $200 million for land that they bought in Arlington Heights, demolished the racetrack, and now might just stay in the city anyways. If purchasing that land and doing the demo work was all a game of chicken with the city, that is an awfully expensive game of chicken. Then the other...

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    Look at where the Bears are on the list... :rolleyes: Now the nice thing about that chart is the spending doesn't coordinate directly to winning (see where the Packers/Cowboys/Chiefs - who have had success and lower; while the Jets are on the top half and have not had the same level of success...

    From DISH about Locals

    Dish has updated their homepage for news users, dish.com, to make it very easy to remove locals when ordering. This appears to be in a direct response to DirecTV's announcement. On the homepage it now says on a big red banner "DISH includes flexible options to add or remove local programming!"...

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    The description mentions the fan favorite - I have them all DVR'd and I am not sure why that one is a fan favorite. I was re-watching it and there are some chickens, the eggs rolling, but there isn't a ton of things going on. Maybe the colors of everything was appealing to people? The Santa's...

    No Programming Offers on my Dish Account

    I just checked and I have 6 offers - Showtime, Heartland Package, Multisport Pack, two different Dog TV offers, and Outdoor Pack.

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    I noticed that the long term EPG has the April Dish Scape starting on 3/29 at 4am central time instead of April 1. Spring Farm 2.0 Dish Scape. It is close to the same description as last year just with "double the fun"

    DirecTV allows subs to drop locals

    I think you are correct with this. I have Dish, and once I opted out of the locals, the VOD and TV anywhere access was gone. I would have to think it would be the same on DirecTV - if you aren't paying for the locals content you don't get that extra benefit of VOD or TV anywhere.

    DirecTV allows subs to drop locals

    Interesting - the locals package/savings is identical to Dish if you opt to remove the locals. $12.

    Cable And Satellite Providers Required To Disclose “All In” Pricing Under Newly Passed FCC Rules

    Agree 100%. I have been with Dish for almost 15 years, and I only have two VIP 211k's and have my own external hard drives for the DVR functionality. Just having that second receiver is over $1500 in "receiver fees" over the life of my account. I can't remember exactly when the receiver fee...

    Traditional Providers Losses, the entire year of 2023 Edition

    I don't have Xfinity here in the Chicago area, but one of my friends does, and he said the RSN fee is ridiculous... I think he said it was over $20 for just the RSN fee. I did a quick Google search and sure enough, it is close to that! Pre-Covid, it was $6.20, in December 2022, it jumped to...

    110/119 Listings Post 129 Transition (Updated 3/03/2024)

    Just did my data check for the end of February. The posts on the front end of this thread have been updated. Only a couple of changes during the month: Channel Type Network Now Was 253 SD Cozi 110, TP 24 110, TP 03 950 Music CD1 119, TP 16 119, TP 19 956 Music CD7 119, TP 16 119, TP...

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    This month's Dish Scapes on 199 has a feel of the Enchanted Forest (June 2021) and a small portion of Shipwreck Treehouse (March 2022) combined together. Feels like there was a lot of ideas were borrowed from the design of Enchanted Forest - all great stuff in terms of the trees and how there...

    News Nation Channel Move

    And Hallmark Drama has been rebranded to Hallmark Family (channel 186). Still in SD though.

    BBC News Moving to Streaming Only

    I don't disagree on that. To me this is very similar to what we saw Dish do with ESPN Classic a decade ago. Disney announced in 2013 or early 2014 that ESPN Classic would be shutting down, and Dish shut it down in the fall of 2014. However, Disney didn't shut down ESPN Classic until 2021 or...

    BBC News Moving to Streaming Only

    I agree with Bobby - when I see what Dish has on the website "BBC News is changing to a streaming-only format on all TV providers. DISH will make this format change starting March 6, 2024" it never says that it is going away right now, but Dish is choosing to make the format change on March 6.

    ? For those getting Stars and Stripes

    Thank you for this update. I wonder if the teacher deal has the same thing - I am going to tell my friend to call in (if he is interested) to see if he starts receiving the PPV movie again each month.
