Is DirectTV Stream a better deal? Or something else? One that has locals.

Roku doesn't support DishA. I downloaded something called 'on stream' and it can't find a internet connection. I guess I need to get out my old Amazon Stick. To be clear....I really like the Dish Guide and DVR Screens.

I had Dish for 25-years, but tree issues caused me to switch to a cable provider. And soon went to YoutubeTV, which has a clunky interface. If Dish had a competitive online service with locals, I'd switch back because I think Dish has a superior guide, interface, and DVR. It seems they are...

At the 'host' home I have 10 meg upload for the Sling. The second home is currently relying on AT&T LTE Netgear Unite (Hotspot) that has 20 meg receive speed. I watched Netflix using a Roku with no issues at the second home. I figure one hour of internet watching uses 1 gig (am I about...

The return of the OP ! Thanks for all the responses. For years I had a second home, same state, and purchased a 211Z, so I could piggy back off my "home" subscription and it probably is only an additional $7. Another question. Are the "Dish" cards machine specific? If I just purchase...

I spend about $140 a month for Dish, programing, recorder. I recently purchased a second home in a different market (1000 miles to the south). What is the best way (cheaper) just to get a second receiver and duplicate the programing. Don't really need the locals cause there are good OTA...

Thanks AZ. My upload speed where the hopper is at is 5 meg. I have an old Slingbox and it works, but know technology has advanced. How does Anywhere get a input to a big screen TV?

I live in Oregon. I have an old DVR (Dish 622?) and plan to upgrade to a Hopper (3?). The plan is to become a snowbird in southern Nevada during the winter months. I will have access to a 50 or 150 meg internet. Also plan to be able to get OTA locals from Las Vegas. But in the process of...

I called Dish and said I wanted to cancel at the end of my current month because I had a package that included Fox News and it wasn't being provided. At first I was offered $50 and then it was upped to $120. Since I can listen to Fox News on XM, I thought I'd stay with them for another month...

I read that Fox News initially paid carriers $11 per subscriber to get their channel carried. Does anyone know what kind of carriage fee we are talking about for Fox News/Business now? CNN is like MSNBC, no ratings. But Fox has big ratings now, so Charlie is playing big time chicken. I...

I bought a turbo dish antenna to to see the 129 satellite. My existing antenna is a Dish500. How do you change the settings on a VIP211K to get it to accept the new antenna?

When I set up a dish (1000.2) and my setup instructions say to aim it at 34 degrees, how much higher is the bird in the sky? I think I was told once the signal bounces off at a higher angle on the plane of the dish to the LNA. My Latitude 45, Longitude 124 degrees, let's base it on the 119...

I have a cabin in the woods and piggy back it on my regular home dish account. Because I was given a new HDTV, I upgraded to a 211k receiver. The cabin has a older 100/119 antenna and I'm noticing low reception and HD programming was dropping out, so figure I'd better also upgrade the antenna...

Maybe the guy from the Power Company who caused Arizona and SoCal to go black got fired and went to work for Dish?

Followed the steps to switch to SD and Channels are back!! Yeah

I found this, "Geniatech iGrabber One Touch Video Grabber For MAC and PC" which is about $35. I guess my $64 question is whether I can connect it to the 622? How do all those videos I see on youtube get around not using copyrighted broadcast material?

So I see a great football play that I'd like to eventually post to Youtube. How would I get the clip from the 622 to my Macbook in a format that could eventually be uploaded to Youtube?

I'm so stupid. So I unplugged the box, let it re-set. Then the TV came on and it said Video 3....which means it was on the 'standard' display video input. So I moved the Sony up to Video 5 input and it was the HD format. I'm just an old man who forgets how to control all the technology...

HD channels use to be in a letterbox format on my TV ('normal' format), but now it looks like I have a 'stretched' screen (either that or football players got 15% taller in one week....steroids?). I can't seem to format the HD channels so they 'look right', even when I try partial zoom...

I have been very happy with Slingbox Solo, the 622, and my iPhone. I have a AppleTV which acts as a great foot warmer, but generally is not my favorite device. I'd like to make it more useful. I notice my Solo comes with two IR sensor thingies. Has anyone been able to do both the standard...

The ratings of Fox News are multiple times higher than CNN, yet Fox News isn't a standard channel on XM online. Anybody know why?

I attached a S-Video cable from the 622 to a Slingbox and I get a "no signal" indication. So is the S-Video plug on the back of a 622 for input, not output?

If I try to log on to the Remote Access to my 622 from a web browser or iphone it doesn't seem to work. I added a programit on Saturday from my iPhone, but since then it just doesn't connect. Is there a simple log on site?

Derwin said, "With television though, the production company owns the rights to the program, and in turn sells the distribution rights to the television networks. The Network themselves have set up an exclusive affiliate model to distribute that programming. The have chosen to distribute...

My $64 question is, so if I get Portland, OR locals, will I also be able to see, let's say, Las Vegas locals. Its pretty funny that with my iPhone I can listen to virtually any US radio station (how could all those broadcasters have let that happen!!). Is it because there is some stupid...
