    I love Dish but can no longer justify it.

    From someone that has been in this position recently, I can say that we are extremely happy with YTTV via Fire TV Sticks. Sure I miss the autohop, but man the savings make up for it big time. YTTV just added the Hallmark channels and now checks all of the boxes for my family. If you’re with...

    I haven’t been under contract in many years. I’ve been a loyal Dish sub for 14+ years and have been extremely pleased in the innovation and remote features of the hardware. As most have indicated, the upcoming $5 increase toward the middle of the month, coupled with access to decent internet...

    Nexstar Media Group forces blackout of nearly 5.4 million DISH customers

    Nexstar Media Group threatens largest local station blackout in TV history, according to DISH

    But neither is Dish. That’s the point, Dish’s relevance isn’t what it used to be either. Disputes to this degree could be difficult if long lasting. To your point, this may be a tipping point for a large group of subs to go to a streaming service, as these channels are often available there...

    Nexstar Media Group threatens largest local station blackout in TV history, according to DISH

    I was told today that they would not offer antennas in my area, as they’ve determined signal wasn’t strong enough. I’m not sure what algorithm they’re using, but it’s broken. Given the size of this blackout, if it persists for very long, it’s going to be a big blow to Dish with its quickly...

    So will Dish be doing free antenna installs due to this? I will be losing the local ABC affiliate for my DMA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    After a few attempts and weeks in between requests, Dish Corporate generously applied that $40/mo credit to my account for 12 months and was told to call back in a year to get them re-applied. I’m now back to a price point that makes sense for my family and will remain a Dish sub for at least...

    I think it’s the entire industry that’s out of touch. I reviewed Directv’s pricing for both their satellite and streaming service and was shocked at how expensive it was, particularly in the second year of the agreement. Each household is different when it comes to value generated by the...

    So my email to corporate customer service resulted in a pretty immediate phone call. Unfortunately, the only offer that was given was the new customer promotion ($15/off), which requires a new 2-year commitment. I politely said thanks but no thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I did, even sent an email to Executive Customer Service (executivecustomerservice@dish.com). I’ve received these loyalty offers in the past, maybe I’ve reached my limit? FWIW, the Office of the President was of no help either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How is it a dream? The reality is that my family can stream all of the channels that we watch for less than half of the cost of Dish without a receiver and dish attached to my house. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I saw you mentioned FuboTV as an alternative to Dish. With the recent addition of ESPN-Disney channels it has become a real competitor. I know there are folks that dislike IPTV as an alternative but my experiences have been very positive. If I watched countless hours of TV and had a lot of local...

    The reality for me is that Dish lacks value, no IFs about that. I’m sorry that isn’t in accordance with the fanboys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I was paying around $86 with promotional credits, which was tolerable. At $130, not even in the same ballpark. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I don’t disagree at all. The biggest factor for me is value. We don’t watch a lot of television outside of sports in our household so the value added by the local hardware component is a nominal value. We have the AT 200 with Hopper/Joey set up and with taxes & fees, we are approaching...

    Longtime Dish sub here, just spoke with Office of the President and they were unable to offer me any long-term credit. It appears that the days of loyalty offers are coming to a head. To be honest, Dish has priced itself out of the market from a value added perspective. True, the Hopper hardware...

    Thanks, everyone. Yes, I’m planning on two home runs of Cat6 in each room. To that point, it wouldn’t hurt to add another Cat6 in series to add POTS capability. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
