    Considering move from Dish to Directv

    My contract is up with Dish in May and I am considering moving to Directv. The main issue has been picture quality and the Dish equipment freezing and the sound going out and having to get the boxes replaced frequently. Cost is pretty similar for the packages I want for year 2. I currently...

    2014 Halloween Programming?

    Does anyone have a good source for Halloween Programming? I'm a Halloween nut and don't want to miss any spooky stuff. I have Dish and I'm in the Minneapolis area, but don't think there is much unique local programming.

    FX Now and Simpsons World app support?

    I've been with Dish on and off, my latest stint has been really sub par. The picture quality has been lacking, signal outages are the worse they've ever been, even with several tech visits.

    FX Now and Simpsons World app support?

    Lack of App Support is a big deal as most content owners are going this route and Dish on Demand is horrible. Auto Hop isn't a feature i care about because you can still fast forward if you need to. Removing Ad's on TV will drive costs as the content makers are losing a huge revenue stream...

    FX Now and Simpsons World app support?

    Sorry, but app support is a given these day's. I could care less about Auto Hop and that's whats causing so much churn.

    FX Now and Simpsons World app support?

    It looks like Dish doesn't support the FX Now App. WIll they support the Simpsons World app when it launches in the fall? http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/08/20/the-simpsons-marathon-airing-every-episode-starts-thursday-on-fxx-will-shatter-tv-records/

    Directv offers for Dish Network early cancellation?

    Direct offered $120, but I'm tempted to go with either the Best Buy($150 GC) or Costco($200 GC offer). I'd like to switch in time for the NFL Season.

    Is Directv missing any channels Dish has?

    Thanks, I knew they lost Travel CHannel at one point. Most of the stations don't matter to me. I'll probably sign up in August as we get closer to the NFL season.

    Any new promotions for Directv?

    I'd be at $75.98/month with protection plan for the first 12 months and $108/month for the next 12 months. Any reason to go wireless mini genies? Not sure if the $100 up front cost is worth it.

    4 TV's, all HD. Currently America Top 250, but the choice looks to be equivalent on Directv. No premium/sport regionals channels needed.

    Signal issues due to dark cloudy weather with Dish, Is Direct any better?

    I'm in Minneapolis, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference. The dish tech is coming out tomorrow, so hopefully they can fix the issue. If not my wife will demand a change of service. I don't remember having issues with Directv, so that would be my next option.

    Signal issues due to dark cloudy weather with Dish, Is Direct any better?

    I'm looking into an OTA antenna, I'd love to hook it up to my Hopper, but it's in the basement, so signal for an indoor antenna is horrible. I will probably just hook up the antenna to a TV upstairs and use a coaxial switch when needed. We also have a NOAA radio.

    Options for OTA?

    It would be a really long cable run from the hopper to my roof(about 60 feet) and also involve a lot of new holes in my house which I'd like to avoid. I only have a leaf antenna which is sufficient to where I'm located from local stations. When the tech is out, I'll have him look at moving the...

    Options for OTA?

    My hopper was installed in my basement, which normally wouldn't be an issue, but an Antenna in the basement is not going to work due to reception issues. Is it possible to move the Hopper to our bedroom upstairs or any other thoughts on getting an antenna connected to the hopper while it's in...

    Signal issues due to dark cloudy weather with Dish, Is Direct any better?

    I'm a current Dish customer, but might not be for long due to reception issues. During this weekend we had complete signal lost during Dark and cloudy skies, but no rain was occurring. Is this considered normal? My wife was really angry because if the signal goes out like that she's worried...

    During this weekend we had complete signal lost during Dark and cloudy skies, but no rain was occurring. Is this considered normal? My wife was really angry because if the signal goes out like that she's worried if we get any bad weather and we can't check in on the local weather. I had to...

    I keep getting errors when I try to access Dish anywhere on PC. I tried both Chrome and IE and keep getting an object not found error. It works on my phone, but I'd rather not watch shows on a 4 inch screen.
