    High-pitched noise on new Joey with H3

    Hey! What do you know about that.... I only live a few miles from Hartford! Try unplugging the Hopper 3 and the Joeys and then plugging them back in- plug back in the Hopper 3 first then the two Joeys. It might just be a reset issue.

    TRIBUNE & DISH reach an agreement

    I believed Dish's leader, when he said he was perfectly willing not to have tribune's stations on Dish ever again. I agree with you. I think Tribune blinked and checked their wallets for Moths!

    Flex Pack & Channel Packs Coming 8/4

    My overall cost was cheaper by a lot! But.. none of that matters now one way or the other. It is all days gone by now.

    Flex Pack & Channel Packs Coming 8/4

    In the grand Ol' Days of C-Band dishes dominating the field of ownership over DBS dishes, ale carte was the cheapest per channel way of getting programming. Now, that which is closest to that is now the most expensive. Yet, IMO the Flex Pack is a very welcome addition. I commend Dish Network...

    Flex Pack & Channel Packs Coming 8/4

    Flex Pack may be a cheaper rate when viewed next to other Dish Offerings, but... the Flex Packs end up being more expensive comparatively to the other packages. I was trying it out for comparison sake, and if you keep adding on, a message pops up saying that the "Regular Packages" are less...

    Dish & Contract Disputes - Channel Blackouts

    At this point, even if I would have known that, I still wouldn't have subscribed to Dish Network. Even though I would prefer to have them, I really don't trust them in regard to blackouts. There have just been too flipping many!!!

    Coming back

    I'm in the Milwaukee Wi. area. Fox 6 is a part of that dispute too. I decided to go with Directv by way of reason of the dispute and blackout. It was a tough decision though. I completely get why you chose Dish Network instead of Directv. I wish you well. Enjoy!

    Dish & Contract Disputes - Channel Blackouts

    Actually, No that wasn't the feature that did the convincing. My preference would have been Dish Network, but... those blackouts are not my style. I want what I pay for-for the most part. The 18 contractual disputes with blackouts is what did the convincing. The Hopper 3 is by far superior...

    And now, I am finally ready to make my decision. Thank you to every one of you that posted in this thread. You were of great benefit. Between your information and what I learned in spite of my inability to focus and understand, it all eventually made it's way through my disease, and I now...

    Dish & Contract Disputes - Channel Blackouts

    That is a great question. I've been missing 30 Charter channels on and off now for 2.5 months. Another week isn't much. I can wait like crazy.. BUT......! and this a Big But.. Not a big Butt, but a big but, the number of disputes is a concern and an issue. Something isn't right about yanking...

    Dish & Contract Disputes - Channel Blackouts

    This is the way I see it, and I could be wrong. The Hopper 3 is great. It is really what we need for the number of people recording shows.. and the other features are fantastic, beyond a doubt... But, we can't watch what is not there, nor can we record it-no matter how many tuners the Hopper...

    Dish & Contract Disputes - Channel Blackouts

    I would agree with this, if the dispute that is going on right now wasn't the only means that I have to watch teams from the NFC of the National Football league. Fox 6 Milwaukee is out and has been since June 6. The season starts next week. And, an indoor antenna won't work here. So it would be...

    Dish & Contract Disputes - Channel Blackouts

    As I am thinking about this more, 18 disputes in 3 years is really a lot. Honestly, I don't know how that played out, but that is a very sizable number of channel black outs. I love the idea of using a Hopper 3, but, I see MLB Network was one of the latest blacked out channels, and that...

    Dish & Contract Disputes - Channel Blackouts

    I was in too much pain due to my disease, which is nicknamed the Suicide Disease because of the tremendous pain it inflicts on it's sufferers to have answered the phone that day. Up to 25% of us take our own lives not because we are depressed, but because the pain is unimaginable to those that...

    Dish & Contract Disputes - Channel Blackouts

    Sigh! I'm with Charter for my television service. I'm having problems receiving over 30 Channels and I fight every single day just to keep my signal coming in (including just prior to my posting here). And, I'm at the end. I have a major disability and I'm standing on one foot, in pain, as I...

    Tribune Broadcasting Company Blacks Out DISH Customers in 33 Markets;

    I would have to have an antenna installed on the roof (attached to the Dish Network Dish). I tried to get locals with an in home antenna and an amplifier. It was a failure.

    Tribune Broadcasting Company Blacks Out DISH Customers in 33 Markets;

    Dish Network is calling me in less than an hour. They want to see if there isn't something that we can work out. I am looking forward to this, not from the point of leverage on my part, but, I truly want to hear what they have to say. The conversation should be interesting.

    Tribune Broadcasting Company Blacks Out DISH Customers in 33 Markets;

    I pulled up like a gimp horse about to cross the finish line yesterday, when I got wind that Dish Network and Fox's Channel 6 out of Milwaukee were in a dispute and the channel was pulled from Dish Network. Still, I was tempted to just follow through and sub to Dish anyway, and then I read that...
