    Game notification on YT TV Question

    85 year old MIL has YTTV but does not have a cell phone or a tablet.Checks her email on a laptop about once a week. Dish has a nice technology that tells you when a game involving your favorite team is about to begin and offers to take you to that game . Researching it appears that choosing a...

    Can Anyone Explain My Latest Bill?

    Before I call customer service I wanted to see if anyone could explain why I'm getting prorated charges? The past two billing cycles I called loyalty trying to get some sort of a deal for a year or two since my previous deal had expired. Each time they could 'nt do anything but give me a large...

    Problem with AMC app on Roku(NOT AMC+)

    I don't use the AMC app on my Roku very much but sometimes I run across an older show that isn't playing on live tv(I have Dish).Right around the time Dish was hacked -I'm sure it's a coincidence-this is more to set a time-I could no longer get into the app on my Roku Ultra. Well actually I can...

    First World Auto Hop Complaint

    Why is the default option for watching an auto hopped program "no thanks"?I'm betting the vast majority of us toggle to the left and select "yes". I'm sure there is someone furiously thinking of a good reason to watch commercials but isn't skipping them the whole point? For the premium we pay...

    Game Finder Sexist?

    I find the H3 Gamefinder useful for reminding me when my favorite teams are on and offering to change channels when the game is about to begin.However I don't understand why women's sports are not included-NCAA basketball as an example. I know that men's sports are more popular (also with me)...

    Amazed

    I know it's not a yuge deal but I was very impressed that Dish sent me an email reminding me that my free dish protection was about to expire .Plus they gave me a link so I could easily cancel it. The vast majority of companies hope you don't notice when your promo offer ends.

    Stupid Person asking Questions(Part 2)

    As detailed in my other thread my 622 might be nearing the end of it's useful life.While looking at all the options for upgrade (besides a 722 or 722k) I am now considering either a Hopper 3 or Duo and a wireless Joey. Am I correct in that the fees are the same now whether owned or leased...

    Dish vs Space X

    In light of today's finalization of the boost deal I found this interesting.Almost like Dish doesn't want rural customers to have broadband access. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/tech-and-telecom-law/spacex-satellite-internet-plan-hits-ground-interference-from-dish

    722 Guide question

    While I was at my brothers house today I thought I'd see if he got the Smithsonian channel(367).Even on the all channel guide it didn't show all though other channels that he didn't subscribe to did show.Upon further research he needs to upgrade from 200 to 250-fair enough. My question is why...

    I rarely use dishanywhere so I don't know if it's operater error or not.I'm trying to watch a football game that I know is available to me. On a desktop-using Chrome-the screen hangs at "initialising." With Firefox and IE it keeps kicking me back to the main dishanywhere screen. I'm...
