    Can my account be put on vacation until my contract is up?

    Got it - thanks. I don't get any discount since I switched my service so I will just keep it active.

    Can my account be put on vacation until my contract is up?

    After 16 years w/Dish I have about had it with the really poor programming and a $135/month bill. I've switched to Netflix and Amazon for 95% of my viewing now and yesterday downgraded to the Flex pack. What a crock that is for $40/month. 90% worthless junk. I find it hard to believe people...

    HELP! HOA making me move DISH

    The HOA is strictly regulated by state laws and they are incorporated into the deed you received. Additionally, you MUST acknowledge the HOA prior to closing and there is full disclosure before you sign on. There are NO surprises down the road other than to find out you got caught. The rules...

    HELP! HOA making me move DISH

    Then why would you be stupid enough to buy a home in the HOA knowing that the rules are in place and you agreed to abide?

    Here is a link to several hundred movies w/audio and resolution detail

    Bobby I was curious so I hooked up my older Roku 2 and presto ... it works fine. The new Roku Ultra is programed the same (and correctly) so there is a glitch someplace with the new unit. I will just return it and be done. Oddly enough too, it is still hit and miss with the Roku on the audio...

    Here is a link to several hundred movies w/audio and resolution detail

    I do appreciate your help but not thinking I have some fetish about bad audio - I don't. I am just looking for an answer and I can guarantee that the setting in the Roku are correct. I bought it 2 weeks ago and it is the Ultra but not sure if it is a 2017 or 2018. Software is current. I get...

    Here is a link to several hundred movies w/audio and resolution detail

    I'm sure you are correct. Found something else today of interest. I watched Jack Reacher on my new Roku Ultra with the Prime Video App. The audio was in 2 channel stereo PCM. This is a 5.1 movie. Curious so I played it with my Sony BluRay player using the Prime Video App. The audio was...

    I understand that and this is just to show (me) what the movie actually had originally.

    Here is a link to several hundred movies w/audio and resolution detail

    I came across this yesterday and it shows ~ 1000 movies and tell us what the audio formats are and the resolution like 1080p, etc. I don't know if Dish transmits them with original audio or down mixes it. Technical Statistics Page - Blu-rayStats.com

    Is Dish downgrading the audio on movies?

    That explains a lot then. I will try some of that today myself. Question: I did find a movie last night (forgot the name already) and watched a bit. It is a DD 5.1 movie and my AVR said DD. It reported 3/ My AVR is set to Dolby DTS Netural:X (This should up-mix a 5.5 to a 7.1) Under...

    Is Dish downgrading the audio on movies?

    I don't remember the name of one it was with Gene Hackman. The other was American Assassin. I did not do epix because it was a on demand pay $$$$ I will look at the epix channels tomorrow ... I have Dish everything so I should get it.

    Is Dish downgrading the audio on movies?

    Receiver is set to Dolby and dynamic is wide for the audio system ... narrow if a small soundbar or the TV.

    Is Dish downgrading the audio on movies?

    I don't think I have ever seen channel info from Dish about the audio - where might this be?

    Is Dish downgrading the audio on movies?

    I went back and found a couple of movies that are 5.1 but they play off of Dish in 2 channel PCM. I went to Amazon and got the same result with the same movies. Really frustrating. I will get the Blu Ray installed and buy a movie.

    Is Dish downgrading the audio on movies?

    I did it as Dish on Demand and believe it was FXM OK ... maybe this is the issue but I don't see it with some HOB either. It is difficult to see what the station is transmitting. Where to look for this? Also, can someone provide me a movie that you know is in 5.1 or 7.1 and I can play it and...

    Is Dish downgrading the audio on movies?

    I have messed with this audio for a week and it sure looks to me like Dish is not sending the original audio like Dolby 5.1. I watched Lone Survivor again and my AVR shows the audio at PCM - 2 channel and no surround. That movie is in 5.1 and you will be counting the bullet holes in the walls...

    Found new in the box OTA Digital Dongle # 194858

    Does this thing need to be activated and is there a fee to use it? I guess it goes to the USB on the Hopper and the outdoor antenna goes to it ... no instructions are in the box.

    Question about new V 54 remotes

    Well you have got one brilliant remote and I got the bad ones. Maybe they changed the firmware don't know but I'm done with these I think. Thank you much for trying to assist.

    Question about new V 54 remotes

    @HS ... I have a Hopper 3 crodrules ... does not work, or mine doesn't , or I am dumb as a rock (very possible!). To get to the screen that gives the option to learn you can only do so with the TV or the AUX functions. NONE of the diamond buttons allow this. Right there is the first problem...

    Question about new V 54 remotes

    Thanks but that was not the question. You previously said ANY button on the remote can be programed to learn a new code. The other pre-set buttons I understand that. But I wanted in my first post to reprogram the input button for my AVR. So the "new" question is -- can only the Dish...

    Question about new V 54 remotes

    I don't see how to do this actually. I don't see a way for example let's program the back button on the v54 remote to turn my TV power off by learning the code. I do no see any option to tell it which button to program other than the ones offered. How to do this if it is actually possible...

    Question about new V 54 remotes

    Would I use the remote for the AVR to tell the v54 remote input button to select the input function on the AVR?
