    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    I trust you realize that the costs of printing and mailing paper bills are merely part of the "cost of business" that is passed on to all of us...? You can still pay manually on-line on the date you choose. Unless your real motive is to support the USPS then I suggest you switch to electronic...

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    I got an e-mailed past due notice yesterday, on the evening of the day my payment was due. No $hit Einstein, I'd been trying to pay online (like I always do, several days ahead of the due date) for a couple of days with the usual site reporting that is was OOS. In that past due notice there...

    Any hope for a return of ATTSN?

    My apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere but a quick search didn't turn up anything. Dish removed ATTSN, my RSN (channel 428), from my line-up in central PA. This channel carried Penguins and Pirates games amongst other content. I read there was a dispute and the channel was removed...

    Celebrating 15 Years!

    Congrats Scott! I think I've been around for about a decade...wow how that time has flown...we must all be having a great time! It was a pleasure meeting you and Eva in Hartford a few years back...and I enjoyed the tour of "SatGuys Command Central"! Keep up the great work...you can count on...

    Cold front in the theoretical place of eternal damnation

    In my GMC truck I was able to program over the channel numbers with text, so "SXM 26" became "Classic V" (limit on the number of characters). Tedious but worth the effort to "name" all 25 presets I assigned. Does Subaru allow something similar? Sent from my LG-E980 using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Intermittent signal...is it equipment or the service?

    Hi all. I hope I'm not asking a question that was already answered, but a quick search didn't turn up anything. My only experience with SXM is with my '14 Sierra...and the Android app that comes with the subscription. For 3+ years it worked flawlessly. Recently I started experiencing a...

    Wow...thanks for those memories! I forgot about Frank Broyles. I remember him pronouncing it "Hoishell Walker"...

    Legendary Broadcaster Keith Jackson Dies at age 89

    If memory serves Keith Jackson was behind the mike when Penn State beat Georgia to win their 1st Championship in the 82/83 Sugar Bowl. I didn't hear that broadcast live...I was in the stadium...but I think I remember him on the recording we made. Trouble was...the guy who made the tape forgot...

    Your Favorite Toy from Christmases past?

    Yep...I really wanted that thing...and "Santa" came through! I think it sold for $25 back in the day. I was very careful with my toys, kept them clean and in the box. I have no idea what happened to it...I think it was lost in one of many "Mom purges". I found one on eBay a few years back...

    Swap 722k remotes?

    I phrase situations like this...and "free 2-day shipping" with Prime...as "at no additional cost". This thread prompted me to chat Dish to get a new remote for my "new" (refurb) 211K. Same result..."free", UPS 2-3 days, and no need to return the old one. I realize DHPP is largely a...

    What was your first sports memory?

    I remember my cub pack taking us to a Pirates game at Forbes field in '60. Don't remember much about the game except that I had a seat behind a pillar so I had to move around to see everything. I ate too much junk and barfed! I still have the ticket stubs in a scrapbook. Of course that was...

    Free - funky ViP 211?

    Correct...the K variant is not obsolete...and I realize my 211 can't be reactivated...maybe somebody wants it for parts or something beyond my comprehension...

    Free - funky ViP 211?

    I had to get a replacement for my 211. Dish sent me a 211K. Since the old receiver is larger it won't fit the 211K box for return so that prompted me to call TS. I was told that the 211 is obsolete and they don't want it back. That would also explain why the box did not have a 2-way label...

    Sorry for my delayed reply...and "thanks"! Yep, the magnifying glass symbol is there...I completely missed it! I was looking for the word "Search"...IIRC that's the way it was on the old interface. I'm one of the old fart$ that doesn't adapt to change very well...being half...

    Search disabled in FireTVStick?

    Hi all. I bought a FireTVStick from Amazon during their $20 introductory promo. I don't use it a lot but when I do it works well. This past weekend we "fired" it up to watch a movie and I encountered the all new interface. I stumbled around trying to find the movie we wanted and eventually...
