After 22 years and 7 months almost to the day, I have severed my relationship with Dish today. I know the typical response by most readers of this type of announcement, especially from someone who has been dormant on this board for several years, is an angry "Don't let the door hit you on your...

With my primary Dish DVR out of commission for the last week or so I was forced to try to find a way to view some programs I would have recorded. DishAnywhere is an alternative. However, the bloated web interface makes my old laptop beg for mercy (picture freezes and incredibly long page load...

First post in a while, and of course it's strictly to vent about CSRs at Dish. For those that don't know me I have been a Dish subscriber since April 1997. My 622 went into an endless reboot cycle two weeks ago. I tried unplugging for a day twice, removing and replacing card, and then just...

Hi folks! My humble community TV station is looking for a programmable HD FTA receiver (Primarily for C Band channels, though we have a KU LNB as well). By programmable I mean being able to tell the receiver to tune to a particular TP frequency at a specific time, not necessarily move the...

"This is Us" had a pretty good pilot if you are into character-driven drama heavy with dialog and very light on action. I am certain this series will quickly devolve into a soap opera, but I thought the Pilot stood alone pretty well. The story opens with seemingly disjointed stories introducing...

Think of leaving a satellite company for cable because of the price hikes? Think again. If you have standard TV with one DVR box and nothing else, you bill will go up $6.75/mo. All movie channel packages go up 2 bucks a month each. No word on HBO. I just received notice at work of the price...

I've considered dropping Dish before, but only while I was mad at them. Both times the issues were resolved to my satisfaction, or more. I have no problem with the company itself. About 15 years ago when my service went from $50 to $70 a month I said if the price of my service goes over 100...

There's a major outage, and slowdown in service on the Time Warner Cable / RoadRunner internet network right now. It started about two hours ago and has only gotten worse. It affects all of KY, Ohio and is spilling over into the rest of the TWC network. According to "reports" on the internet...

I'm not sure if I'm late to the party, but just about 20 minutes ago my receiver downloaded and installed a new update L736. The only thing I noticed that I hadn't noticed before was a different diagnostics tool "Call Out" I could have been there on L735 but I didn't notice it. Anyone notice...

Fox took an Adult Swim product "Golan the Insatiable" and put it on the main network last night. Call it a reboot. It was pretty funny. It wasn't the best and some of the jokes were old, but it made me laugh out loud a few times. Of course I WANTED to like it. (And I genuinely do). But...

I was thinking of ways to keep baseball more interesting through the middle of the season and have a lot of teams make the play-offs without diluting the actual talent in the play-offs. What would you think of this: The team with the best W-L Record for the first 81 games and the last 81 games...

I have a great signal on the proper transponder at 77°, but there is no video for any of the Cincinnati locals through Dish right now. Anyone having the same issue? It is the perfect black/nothing video signal. Great test for my LCD TV. The channels are broadcasting OTA and via TW cable. I...

Sorry if this has been posted before. I think I posted something similar about a rental vehicle I had in December, but didn't find it. I am new to Sirius. I have listened to Sirius only through Dish until last month. Thanks to a driver who decided to remodel the back of my old car with an...
