    Cheapest DISH Package with Buzzr and Game Show Network

    Thank you all. I'm going to suggest she get Flex (USA), Locals, Heartland (GSN), and Latino Pak (Buzzr) which will be about $30 month less than AT200, or she might even have a higher package - I have yet to scrutinize her bill. She cannot justify nor does she want/need internet. And OTA in her...

    Cheapest DISH Package with Buzzr and Game Show Network

    Well, I've not been here in a few years as I'm no longer a DISH customer. However, my 96 year-old grandmother is and I'm trying to help her economize her DISH package. She simply wants to get Buzzr, Game Show Network, and USA plus her locals. She's been a customer for probably 20 years. When I...

    Can My DISH Package be Viewed on a Streaming App?

    Yep - I have an EHD connected to the 211k.

    Can My DISH Package be Viewed on a Streaming App?

    No, it's a single tuner - therefore using a Slingbox in my situation would "essentially" be the same as running a coax from the VIP 211k to the RF (coax) input of a second TV set. So, I'll pass on the Slingbox since it's not a viable option for my desired setup.

    Can My DISH Package be Viewed on a Streaming App?

    Okay, let's say my VIP211k receiver is in the living room where my wife is viewing TV directly from the 211k. I'm in the bedroom watching on a Roku device, which is receiving the stream from the Slingbox. We can watch different programs (channels) from our DISH package?

    Can My DISH Package be Viewed on a Streaming App?

    I have a VIP211k receiver and am wondering if my DISH package (the Welcome Pack) can be viewed on a streaming app? I have read - in some cord-cutting forums - that it can be done with an Amazon Fire streaming device - but not Roku. I have a couple of Roku devices, but would likely purchase a...

    How Do I Delete Conversations?

    This is probably a very dumb question, but I have looked and looked (and looked some more) at all the available tools (that I can see) but I cannot find how to delete one or multiple conversations. I see every other action to inflict on a conversation, EXCEPT delete. Am I blind as a bat, or...

    YES! DISH definitely dosen't want to lose customers

    But one has to call or message DIRT to get the Welcome Pack. The other packages can be changed online.

    Minimum package level?

    I am on the Welcome Pack so I logged in as if I were going to add/change programming - it shows the DISH Movie Pack being available for me to select.

    ABC Tri-Cities TN/VA

    According to WJHL's website - ABC can still be seen on DISH channel 19 - http://wjhl.com/watch-the-all-new-abc-tri-cities/ However, that is occupying WKPT's old channel slot - DISH cannot do that, can they? WKPT moved its MY affiliation from a sub-channel to its main - thus DISH must carry it...

    TV Input Control from DISH Remote?

    I have a DISH remote that will operate the 211/211k/211z/411. My question pertains to its TV (not receiver) functions. Is there a way for the remote to control the TV's inputs? You know, the input control for composite cables (for a VCR), HDMI1, HDMI2, etc. Thanks!

    HD feeds being added to Welcome Pack!

    I know you were probably just kidding (given the "cheesy grin"), but since there is still an SD version of all channels, one can record the SD version if so desired - correct? Thus saving drive space.

    Dropping Equipment to Lower Bill

    I've been mulling over the following to lower my monthly DISH bill and I want to run this by you folks to see if I am correct. I currently have ONE 722k and ONE 211k with an EHD (External Hard Drive). If I drop the 722k, then the 211k becomes the primary (sole) receiver on the account. If so...

    Changing packages

    The DISH America package is cheaper than "Silver" or "Gold", correct?

    BBC America and Weather Channel

    I don't know if it's a "ROKU thing", but the WN stream is one of the most unreliable streams on my ROKU. It will open to the local weather screen, but I will often see a message that it's trying to capture the livestream. Or, when I do get what seems to be a reliable stream and I am in...

    What would happen if DISH drops Viacom?

    I wonder if TV Land's dropping of "The Dukes of Hazzard" contributed to Viacom's decline or was the decline already in progress?

    Former DISH Exec Dave Shull Now at The Weather Channel

    Wow, the things that make you go hmm....I do believe Dave Shull had some involvement when WeatherNation's predecessor The WeatherCast lasted less than 5 days on DISH about 5 years ago when there was a Weather Channel carriage fiasco. Now, Dave has defected to "them"...BTW, my tone should...

    Start an account with Welcome Pack???

    Heartland has the following HD channels: Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, Discovery Family, PixL, RFD-TV, OWN, HUB, and GSN. I am not sure about BabyTV because I don't watch it. Rural TV/FamilyNet is SD.

    Start an account with Welcome Pack???

    Simply because I think pay-tv in general costs more than it's worth, I have seriously considered dropping from AT120 to the Welcome Pack. I realize I will lose HD, but HD does remain with locals, correct? Also, will HD remain with "add-on" packs like Heartland and the aforementioned Blockbuster...

    Fox Business now at AT120

    Thing is, Fox Business is NOT listed on Channel 102(?) - the channel that displays channels in Free Preview.

    Strange 722k DVR "Hiccup"

    There is likely no real reason/answer as to "why" I had a DVR hiccup on my 722k late last week. But, I am always curious to see if others have had similar experiences. First, the timer setup: For "The Young and the Restless"; TV2; WBTV-3-CBS; Mon-Fri. I also have a timer setup for "The Big Bang...

    Need OTA Guide info updated - DIRT member?

    Regarding this very issue, I snail-mailed a letter 4 weeks ago to the technology folks at DISH. After no response, I emailed a follow-up to the same yesterday. This afternoon a DISH representative called my cell phone. He told me that the best course of action is to contact the engineers of the...

    Yes, I'm pretty sure it's FXB in the guide - at least it is on my 722k.

    Is FXB still on channel 206?

    Scared to Ask - Fox Business Network

    At the risk of having padlocks being thrown my way (ducking my head as I am typing this), I am simply CURIOUS! Is Fox Business Network (FXB) currently unavailable? I have read that the new Fox-Dish agreement provides that FXB will be available in AT120 - previously only in AT200-up. While I am...
