    Disney Plus +

    You and me both. Only remotely redeeming quality was the introduction of Boba Fett. Looking back you can tell it was an obvious cash grab. These days it makes me think of the line from Spaceballs: "Hopefully we'll all meet again in Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money"

    Disney Plus +

    Do you mean the '67 series with perhaps the greatest theme song ever written? I would love to see the late 70's live-action Spider-Man with awesome wa-wa pedal porn-like theme song.

    The 10 year-old me was thrilled to see they have Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends!

    Disney Plus +

    History Channel's Modern Marvels did an episode about Disney World and Disneyland. It talks about the disastrous opening day of Disneyland. Apparently someone counterfeited thousands of tickets. So I guess you could say that also "exceeded our high expectations" :biggrin

    The Mandalorian - Disney+

    The armor worn by the main character (as well as Boba and Jango Fett from the movies) is the traditional armor of a Mandalorian warrior - from the planet Mandalore. Think of it like medieval armor. All the knights wore similar armor, but with personal modifications. The Mandalor culture was...

    OTA signal came back after Hopper 3 reboot. Why?

    Yep, that's what I see too.

    OTA signal came back after Hopper 3 reboot. Why?

    I'm seeing something on my H3 w/dual tuner dongle. When I go to an OTA channel use the recall function I get a "attempting to acquire signal" screen that shows the signal strength at 100%. If I do a channel advance to another OTA channel it comes in fine and I can then do a channel back and it...

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    I thought the 4K was a little disappointing also. I was switching between the 4K feed, HD feed on NFL Network, and Network feed from my OTA adapter. The OTA feed seemed to look best to me.

    Cord Cutting - which box? Some comparisons

    I've got a mixture of Amazon FireTV Sticks, Roku, and Xbox One S (with disc drive) for streaming. I prefer the XB1S for streaming as it can do both DolbyVision and Atmos which my TV and AVR support. I only wish it could do DolbyVision on 4K discs. I use the Amazon Sticks for DishAnywhere at...

    Hopper 3 Sling with Logitech 650 remote

    I am not a fan of the new shape of the Harmony remotes (950/Elite). I tried one last year when my Harmony One failed. The shape just seemed uncomfortable. I wound up returning it and getting a refurbed Harmony One to replace it.

    Joey 3 w/o MoCA

    I have a Joey 3 running via ethernet to the same switch the Hopper 3 is using Hopper 3-->Ethernet Switch<--Joey 3 I originally had it hooked up via both Coax and ethernet. Then I disconnected the coax, rebooted the Joey and it has been working fine since. Check the IP address on both...

    DirecTV Now to rebrand under AT&T TV family.

    And DVR recordings delete after 90 days. I know where the cost benefits are for AT&T, but from a consumer standpoint and I can't see a compelling reason to choose this over the traditional service.

    The OFFICIAL DISH / HBO Thread

    OK, I vaguely remember the disc issues. I obviously missed the recall. I guess it is too late to call Pioneer now. :biggrin The unit still plays my LD collection just fine. Got to explain what it was to my 14 yr old daughter and her friends recently.

    The OFFICIAL DISH / HBO Thread

    I still have my Pioneer DVL-909 LD/DVD player! One of my favorite pieces of electronics ever! I remember when Netflix started the whole streaming thing. Their initial collection was weak, but they gave it away for free. Then I noticed how they were getting their app installed on every piece of...

    DIRT Update

    Just take a look at the HBO thread to see how far things can go off the rails. :biggrin

    That included the 1st year's programming. Installation was extra also back then.

    Happy Birthday DirecTV

    I remember paying close to $1000 for my first DirecTV setup in 1997. You had to subscribe to USSB for premium channels and no locals. Still, the tech was so far ahead of cable. I loved it.

    long time dish customer, recent price increase, looking for input...

    Check with a DIRT member here. I had the same issue and reached out to them. While they didn't get me the exact same price I did get a good discount and I think my net increase was about $8/mo. That price is also locked in for another 2-year agreement.

    HBO being gone really opened my eyes to how little I was watching it. Got the HBO Amazon Prime channel to watch GoT. I check the live feeds all the time and rarely see something I want to watch. Tonight I'll watch the Deadwood movie and then after Chernobyl concludes on Tuesday I think I'm...
