    Sling / DTV Now / Vue

    Sling / DTV Now / Vue

    Of all of these services, which one will actually let you watch individual streams on say your smart TV? Meaning for example if you choose DTVN (or PS Vue, Sling), can I stream ESPN3 or "CNN go" using DTV login information?

    Existing customer eligible for new customer pricing?

    I am waiting to hear back on a follow-up query from DIRT since Thursday. They've been awesome so far in responding to my questions! I am also looking to know if Dish has resolved the issue of having a single Dish (for users of 110, 118, 119 and 129) and this switch...

    DirectvNow First inpressions

    Thanks! PQ is a double-edged sword at least at this point with 1TB Comcast bandwidth cap. As read in another thread, DirectTV has a higher GB rate compared to Sling so consuming more of your data allowance/quota per hour.

    Existing customer eligible for new customer pricing?

    Thanks for your input ... I'm pretty happy with DISH and hope to stay with them ... I contacted DIRT and hope to hear back with their help.

    Sling / DTV Now / Vue

    How many concurrent streams are allowed on each of these services? Sling, DTVnow, vs PS Vue? Do you folks have a sense of how much bandwidth is being eaten up by streaming? Comcast has imposed 1TB limits so wondering it it would be sufficient for say an 8-hour combined household TV viewing? Thanks!

    Existing customer eligible for new customer pricing?

    I have been a Dish customer for 10+ years and just finished my latest contract. As an out-of-contract customer, is it possible to get new customer pricing if I agree to a new contract? Our options are to scale back our programming package (I prefer to not do this), or to choose alternative to...

    Something Odd...

    What I did notice is that when I tried (re)validating myself, I did not receive the validation email. I hope that issue is fixed. I'll try it tomorrow and report back.

    What's your Sling TV monthly bandwidth usage?

    I am considering switching from Dish to Sling TV or possibly ATT's streaming service. I am curious to learn what has been your monthly bandwidth usage and roughly how many hours on average you stream programs from home? Asking mainly to ensure that I don't lose that cost savings in programming...

    4/06/2015 16:00 - Uplink Report - 4 Changes

    I would like to see BBC World News HD and Al Jazeera go HD. Direct has BBC, I hope Dish follows suit. What sort of programming was Ovation about, we did not even watch it.

    Dish IOS app seems worse than before the upgrade!

    v6.0.1 on iPhone 5s. Just now I was using it and the app just disappeared. I had to restart it. I have not used it much but for example it shows "featured" and under it I see all these icons. I mean when you click on the icon it gives you more details but it would be nice to know the channel...

    Dish IOS app seems worse than before the upgrade!

    I upgraded Dish iPhone app a few weeks ago and just started using it recently. The app feels slower and results of searches showed me events that display no channel or SD/HD information instead displaying these huge icons that take up a big chunk of real estate on the phone yet display nothing...

    Cricket World Cup 2015 on Dish

    Actually it turns out that they did broadcast the Saturday game in HD on 517. I saw the schedule and noticed it (but it was too late by then!) For whatever reason they did not add that channel in the HD channel list on the main WCC page.

    Cricket World Cup 2015 on Dish

    I emailed ESPN and they refused to provide broadband access to Dish customers that have paid for PPV. I also don't get all the games in HD, only one of today's 3 games are showing up in HD and the SD quality is poor. What was Dish thinking by broadcasting these in SD only? I could have gone to...

    CNN and HLN gone/ Dish-Turner Dispute - Now Back 11/21

    While I'm happy to see CNN back, there is nothing exciting about them anymore. I wish they would start a new "CNN Documentary" or "World Food Network" channel and move "Parts Unknown", "The Sixties", "This is life with Lisa Lang" .... others, to this new channel with unlimited reruns. They...

    Bad Dish UHF remote or just limitations of remote?

    I agree, I think I am going to first try and extend the antenna towards the basement ceiling that is closest to my room. Hopefully this will improve the range. If not, then I may try and do a room to room thing. Thanks satellitegangster ;)

    Bad Dish UHF remote or just limitations of remote?

    Thanks Tampa8, it works when I point the remote in the general direction under the door towards the receiver in the basement from the upper level. I was under the impression that the remote range was longer, but it does not seem that way - I have a huge concentration of coax in that area...

    Bad Dish UHF remote or just limitations of remote?

    My dish 722K receiver installed a year ago sits in our (finished) basement. I watch TV(2) in my study on the main level using Dish provided UHF remote. I seem to recall that the remote worked well for 1-2 months. Now it seems harder to change channels unless I point it roughly in the direction...

    Dish / Gannett Dispute Settled! No Channel Removals!

    ok ...@12:35 AM MST (it had been 35 minutes since screens went blank) Denver Gannett programming is back on screen, both Channel #9 and #20. Not sure if that's a mistake or if they've had an agreement or decided to stay on air until they negotiate ?

    Finally happened at 12:00 AM Mtn Denver CO .... KUSA Channel #9, and KTVD #20 (both Gannett) went blank .... so switching to OTA for now :) Sorry for the interruption of service. There is no need to call us. We are aware that this TV station is temporarily unavailable and we will have this...

    Dish / Gannett Dispute Settled! No Channel Removals!

    Gannett is just resorting to blackmailing by having those runners displayed in tonight's national NBC football game SD vs NO. Wow! I am able to get OTA locals during the day, but the signal becomes weak during the evening and as nightfall sets in. May need to get a bigger antenna for my attic...

    Dish / Gannett Dispute Settled! No Channel Removals!

    Basically the same issues relating to Hopper commercial skipping. The NBC affiliate in Buffalo is saying ..... “Unfortunately, so far Dish has refused to reach a fair, market-based agreement with us. If a deal is not reached by midnight on Oct. 7,” the statement concluded, “Dish subscribers will...

    Dish / Gannett Dispute Settled! No Channel Removals!

    Gannet is an NBC affiliate in at least two dozen major markets in the US. And NBC is owned by none other than Comcast. So, I am beginning to wonder if somehow Comcast is doing this indirectly for competitive reasons.
