    My mother in law is looking to get rid of Spectrum and try streaming.

    Warning on 85" TVs

    Hisense A6H

    Needed a new TV for the bedroom, so after some research I settled on a Hisense 50A6H. I was so impressed with the set that I decided to upgrade the set in my office with the 43" version. If you're looking for a good performing set on a budget, this is a great value. The Google TV performance is...

    Old Dish 30.0 remote

    I have this old 30.0 remote, is there anything it can be used for? I can't pair it to my Wally and there doesn't seem to be a way to program a TV in without programming it through an old 922 receiver.

    Any big announcements? Maybe the reopening of a certain controversial part of the board?

    Swapping Wally EHD

    Is there a process for swapping EHDs on a Wally? I can't find any menu options to safely remove external storage and hate to just disconnect the USB.

    Learning mode - can you teach commands to the touchpad on 50.0 remotes?

    I'm trying to teach directional commands to the touchpad on the 50.0 so I can use it to control my TV. Is it possible to teach to the touchpad? The documentation for this remote doesn't say either way.

    DISH OTA Signal Meter - Released?

    Dish made the announcement of this OTA signal meter quite a while ago (CES 2019?) so I thought it could be vaporware...but it appears it's out in the wild. Has anyone seen one in person? The only place I can see them for sale is at this wholesale distributor...

    Any reason not to Wally?

    This is for my parents, currently they have a 622 feeding 4 TVs. Since there are only two of them this works out well however the picture on three of them is just terrible and it's probably time to upgrade. They're grandfathered with the $7 DVR fee so they're pretty fee free and we're trying to...

    Amazon Fire TV Recast

    This looks interesting, a Tablo/HomeRun type device that works with Amazon Fire TV. I bet it's under $100 by the end of the year, way overpriced right now. Amazon Fire TV Recast: The Amazon DVR is real, and starts at $230

    Dish service call experience

    Background - I installed a 1000+ on my parent's chimney 10+ years ago with a DPP44 in the attic connected to a 622. I'm out to visit them last week and everything works great (they're 2,200 miles away) the day after I leave the system goes down. I play tech support and know things are bad when...
