    Considering the Move to Dish Network

    Just going off first hand knowledge having many Philippine friends while in the navy. What they shared, not what google turned up. Yes therebere many Spanish terms intermingled. One friend was half Philippine and half Chinese.

    Question about HD channels on Western Arc

    Love the term FUBAR just because it’s an acronym few people know it’s meaning, like SNAFU.

    HD appears very compressed

    I can’t speak to earlier hoppers, I jumped from a 722 to H3. I saw a noticeable improvement in HQ as well as overall speed of operation. There are some of the lower bandwidth HD channels I can barely stand to watch. Poor quality and jitter framed crapola.

    Loyal Dish customer longevity

    Haven’t heard of Preferred Customer Offer or sling tv or Dishanywhere on firestick and portable smart device?

    Channel guide screen - no icons

    Probably something to do with VOD loading on drive. Once completed drive status should pop up.

    Is it too late to cancel?

    Leased. Key is the time period. In 2016 there were no j3’s and my 722 was not yet close to retirement but DVR drives and EHD was and the transfer wasn’t pretty.

    Is it too late to cancel?

    That’s what I paid in October of’16 plus $50 for a wireless Joey. Well worth it. I upgraded from an original 722.

    Loyal Dish customer longevity

    20 years and on my 2nd 2 year price lock. $72.99 for H3 and Joey, flex with locals and movie pack. Hard to beat.

    High Pitch Noise from Dish?

    I hear crickets constantly. I imagine there could be worst ringing but not been a huge deal for me. Ambien helps a lot!

    dish vs. directv rain fade: dish wins.

    It takes a serious low to the ground storm to the south to kill our signal. South central Indiana on western arc. H3 with hybrid lnb’s.

    Mission Broadcasting blacks out DISH customers in 21 markets across 18 states

    What’s a Super Bowl? Southcentral Hoosiers may not care. More than you’d think.

    Is Dish planning on more HD channels, like Oxygen?

    50 pound 65” Samsung here. I had to wait till my better half got home to hang it. Damn screen died barely a month after purchase. I had to deal with South Korea pro duct support. Next time I’ll get a big son-in-law to yell “pull”!

    Contract up, bill up - can DIRT help me without calling Loyalty?

    My phone call was short and painless with a very short wait time. After al was done I had one bill that was about $20 less than normal and one $20 more, but I’m locked in at a rate that’s $6 less than what I was paying for my previous preferred customer discount. The billing oddity was due to...

    NBC/Comcast Dispute Forthcoming?

    We seldom watch any NBC programming, and no sports. Baby boomers who have no interest in such things. Especially with local locast coverage and slow court progress. I think locals are losing ground. Just my opinion.

    2021 Dish Prices

    And they could be called DIRT. Dish Internet Response Team. That might cut into their bottom line and they’d have to replace them with drones. Oh wait, that did happen. Apologies for the sarcasm. They are still missed.

    Seagate Hard drive not seen by Hopper3

    The last Seagate I ever bought came in a Windows PC with windows 3.1. At 63 I’m too old to make that mistake again. It was a 85 megabyte that churned itself to death. It’s a old fart thing.

    DISH retention offers

    I just signed on for a two year price lock. $32.99 on flex. $2 less than my previous deal. I’m still a month out to see what my monthly will be but we’ll see. I’ll post later on what my savings are. Better than most of my options. H3 and one wireless Joey.

    Can a Dish external HD load to a PC?

    Maybe New York, but don’t take your bullet-proof vest.

    New Software Release 1/13

    I’m wondering if this will help to update guide info for premium free previews. Dish tends to unlock free previews a day early but guide info is limited to what’s currently playing.

    Can a Dish external HD load to a PC?

    HDCP or high-bandwidth digital copy protection. It protects all digital copyright media from transferring or coping to unlicensed devices.

    Crime Investigation Channel?

    I have it, I subscribe to dish movie pack and the Stars and Stripes. Maybe you need a hit on your account? You didn’t give a timeline also. It sometimes takes a few days on new accounts. Just my 2cents.

    Youtube Hopper 3 not working

    I tried my H3 YouTube app and it works with U939. Updated to U941 and it still worked so it doesn’t look like it’s firmware related.

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    I recorded one maybe the shark week that ran 8 hours.
