    Whatever Happened to Dee Ann?

    Oh hi there! :wave2 Well, I'm still alive.. It's been crazy times... The neighbor that was terrorizing me finally moved away, but only one street over. They live within a 60 second bicycle ride from here. They (the wife was always yelling foul things at me too) aren't terrorizing me daily...

    aftermarket antennas?

    Oh cool idea! There's a luggage rack on the roof that I could clamp one to. This gives me a good starting point, now I just need to research which one would be the best. Thank you!

    aftermarket antennas?

    Hi guys, I recently acquired a 2006 Chrysler Town and Country mini-van with a SiriusXM radio in it. Naturally I've been living in the past all my life and didn't even know that it was in there. I discovered it by accident while play with the FM radio so I decided to give it a try. I had it...

    Cord cutting time

    Well, it's been about two weeks since I cut the cord. There's good, there's OK and there's bad to it. For instance, remotes. The Roku remote only controls the Roku. For awhile I would have a PILE of remotes in bed and it was a fight to find the right one. VERY ANNOYING. Until I found this...

    Cord cutting time

    AH !!!!!!!!!!! Maybe that's what it's doing !! I haven't caught on to exactly what is trigging this stuff. There seems to be some stupid "feature" that's like, "what's trending" or "what others are watching" or "What's popular now" or something like that. And that seems to always churn it's...

    I've always been reasonably happy with Dish

    But.... The time has come to say goodbye. I've "cut the cord" so to speak, actually traded it for a different cord. So I called Dish today to close and terminate my account. And the gentleman that took my call really, really, really made me angry. I called to terminate and all he did was...

    Cord cutting time

    PLEASE tell me there is a way to block channels or programs in Vue??!!!! Vue keeps insisting that I should watch F** "news" and it once again began playing it all on it's own again last night without me touching a thing! I can not tolerate this. I do not even want to see that channel in the...

    Cord cutting time

    You're welcome !! :D And here is the one I want to buy, When you press it it says various bad words and phrases, most of them would annoy me to hear over and over. I'm going to buy one of these (It's about 6 inches around I think) then gut it out. I have a wee tiny remote for the TV at my...

    Cord cutting time

    Well cr*p !!! My PS4 is still automatically powering down right in the middle of watching TV. I've been sitting here watching TWD for about an hour, maybe less, I don't know don't know for sure. But I haven't touched the remote control at all and all of a sudden the screen went black and the...

    Cord cutting time

    Being a Spectrum customer now (was TWC for years and years) I just took the ancient TWC modem my dad got back about 15 years ago and traded it in for a new Spectrum modem. I also had to switch the contract (that was in my dad's name) to the new Spectrum contract. I had been paying $60 a month...

    Cord cutting time

    I wish show a screen capture of what is showing and how I have things set but it seems that the new forum takes any image I upload and chop it down to a tiny, tiny, unreadable image. I guess because I've been very inactive and let my membership lapse. (I've given up on FTA and all my dreams...

    QUOTE="osu1991, post: 4048648, member: 10999"]Use free program vidcoder to easily re-encode the mpeg 2 files to hevc. It runs on the handbrake engine but is much more user friendly. I do it every week with stuff I pull off my TiVo and was doing it before with the files from HD Homerun that...

    Cord cutting time

    I just signed up for my free week of Vue (Elite Slim) for $45 a month and Sling (Blue) for $25 a month. I watched Talking Dead on Vue and the picture quality was VASTLY SUPERIOR to the picture I have been getting on my Dish HD (for $105 a month!) I'm watching The Walking Dead right now and I do...

    Cord cutting time

    Oh man! I am sooooo getting one of these !! I can ditch the Plex DVR (which is really decent) and go back to standard Plex. The Plex DVR service fills the drive on my Mac at a maddening pace and it leaves behind HUGE mpeg2 files that would be better off as HEVC files. If I can throw an 8tb...

    This might just sink Sling. https://www.hulu.com/press/hulu-announces-new-affiliate-agreement-with-ae-networks-for-upcoming-live-tv-streaming-service/ I'm already paying about $13 a month for Hulu plus without commercials. I wonder how much more it would cost to add the A&E package? It says...

    Cord cutting time

    Ok, this is great info! YES!! Oh ok.. I guess maybe they use to limit the devices you could have but must have eliminated that restriction. Years ago I had four of them then I bought one for my dad's birthday and I tried to add it to my account so I could pay for and manage everything...

    Cord cutting time

    We do have a somewhat acceptable OTA lineup here. I get MeTV, Comet, Cozi, and several others. There are over 30 some odd channels but quite a few of them are channels I will never watch. After I prune out the dud channels I get about 23 channels that may potentially carry sometime I might...

    Cord cutting time

    Wow ! Great info guys! Thanks! As for staying with Dish, I can't see that happening. $110 a month for AT250. If I knock it down a to like the AT200 I lose a few channels that I do watch from time to time but the savings is minimal. Going to Vue PLUS Sling will let me keep ~almost all~ the...

    Cord cutting time

    Hi! I think I want to cut the cord, so to speak and say goodbye to Dish. I was looking at the new Playstation Vue service. Sadly they don't carry all the channels I would prefer but I saw that Sling does carry some of those channels missing from PSVue. I think that I've found that if I...

    Looking for a plain text list of Dish AT250 channels

    Hi I am trying to find (and not having any luck) a list of channels that are included in the AT250 package. I need an up to date list that reflects what is currently available, I have found a ~few~ lists but most of them are several years out of date. I need it in plain text format, not PDF...

    tuner rebooting every ~20 minutes or so

    Never mind. The disk died. I lost a LOT of stuff I really, really wanted to keep. I'm very, very unhappy with this. I think it's CR*P that Dish won't let you move recordings to a backup disk for when this very thing happens. I had a brand spanking new DVR grade disk I had bought to replace...

    tuner rebooting every ~20 minutes or so

    HELP!! I have two identical VIP211K systems. One is running fine, the other has been running fine for about a year and a half since I purchased it (to replace one that burned out.) For some reason today the thing has decided to reboot itself at random. It averages about 20 minutes but...
