    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    I don't much follow these but do note that this recent one looked like a xmas scene with turkey day elements added. Also 2 fireplaces- "modern" and traditional.

    Is Free Football Actually Going Away? Inside the Broadcasters' Astroturf Campaign

    So at some point the broadcast nets will deal with these money-grubbing affiliate groups by ditching them altogether for direct streaming. "Free football" via broadcast affils isn't free by a long shot over cable or satellite. Just by antenna, which comparatively few now use.

    "The painter of light," right? This guy was right up there though perhaps no longer greatly appreciating. So yeah, there should be a decent market, and waiting isn't adding to valuation. Especially given your fiscal situations, it would seem to behoove to monetize at least some of this art in...

    EchoStar / Dish’s Path Forward

    There was some original thinking that was put into the hopper, so to speak. They'd gotten so far into DVR that they could only think more recording is better, and hey, let's make it automatic so folks don't have to fuss with setting timing. Oh and let's apply it specifically to the broadcast...

    How things have changed

    Well, not quite like in 1966, but it still follows with the broadcast nets.

    Terrible call to DiSH

    All I can say is that on attempting to help someone out with his tv and he had the 54, I was dumbfounded at what I saw as a regression in both user-friendliness and simply build quality. Compared to the "classic" 20s I found it cryptic just to navigate menu screens and the like, and it appeared...

    What is hopper duo? 722 is a duo; isn't hopper a solo-user box, that you have buy another box to run to for a 2nd user? Doesn't the new hopper do sling?

    They even sent a replacement 722 for owned one. 'Course I'd better review the bill to be sure they aren't now sticking me with a leasing fee or something

    Wouldn't they just send a swapout replacement? At least you won't be trying to get a 722 out of them

    Dish’s Sling TV Drops Price of One-Day Streaming Pass to $1 to ‘Celebrate’ Win in Disney Lawsuit

    I think it's paywalled. From what I could glean before it blanked out, it seems that DiSH's contract with Disney is very loosey-goosey about what constitutes a "subscriber" and allows for even someone not registered with Sling and only watching sling's free content to be considered a...

    Terrible call to DiSH

    The last thing I would want would be for them to extract payment through the system. I never use PPV and never change programming around or put on holds. As for remote control of system by support, no thank you. Maybe for thee but not for me, as I know their history, and as this thread attests...

    Terrible call to DiSH

    Then why's it called a "4k Joey"? Can a hopper be placed in a location with no tv and have wiring (or wifi) run to multiple sets, and if joeys needed (for add'l same-time users) can they be placed away from TVs as well? Like just stack all needed rx boxes on a shelf in a utility closet, like a...

    What is this 4k reference? That it outputs in 4,000 line resolution, which some newer TVs can display? And this is the "old model'...? I don't find there to be any appreciable operational lags (key entry delayed action) with the 722. I can remember some rx's of the past, going back into C-band...

    Actually a family member had called them and just went along with the standard song & dance they have now and consented to a hopper. I guess that's all they need to get now and it's off to the races. It wasn't mandated. I suppose that at some point they'll have everyone on hoppers and/or...
