    Dish contract ends 28Apr2024 - any reason to renew?

    Good point, my bad. It would seem that it would be 90 days, but it is 9 months. Seems pretty good. If you can't decide by then, start over and/or find a new team to follow.

    Dish contract ends 28Apr2024 - any reason to renew?

    I had it on "Dish Pause" for a few months and I just went through the final discussion where I said I gotta go but they need to tell you how bad it'll be...(un)fortunately we got disconnected, but I had made the point that I had made the decision. Thought I was going to have to call back...

    Dish contract ends 28Apr2024 - any reason to renew?

    I've been checking it out for a few months. Just tell it record ALL, let's say, men's college BB games and ALL women's. There they are. No limit. Recordings expire 90 days later. I usually want to watch the game earlier than 90 days later, but that's me. 15 sec skip forward, 15 sec back...

    Dish contract ends 28Apr2024 - any reason to renew?

    Apparently. I found this out by switching between the two packages to get BTN and ACCN. Pro tip: YTTV...has NewsNation, BTN, ACCN...$73.

    But AT120 DOES include NewsNation, while AT120+ does not.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    I thoroughly enjoyed the mlb.tv app on Roku the last couple of seasons, being able to watch the out-of-market team I follow, every single game, with the ability to skip through between-inning commercials, etc. Could watch live or delayed, but did not have to wait until the game was over to...

    H366 is out

    The issue that was new to me with H366 was trying to play a recording of a show from an OTA channel, and the Hopper refused to let me skip forward from the beginning of the recording in any amount. It would always revert to the beginning. Gave up on watching that one. Did not see this...

    H365 has arrived

    Well, this reasonably old man thought he could eat not crow but pizza while watching the World Series on about a one hour delay, by starting to watch the recording about an hour in. No toggling between multiple recordings or the use of "resume". Just straight up playing of a recording. Fine...

    Hopper Plus vs Smart TV for Streaming

    Go into the settings for your smart TV and tell it that you are not connected to a network. Or give it a non-existent network name (SSID) so that any connection fails. Or tell it that you have a wired ethernet connection but do not connect anything to the ethernet port. The TV is not smart...

    362 is here

    I solicited some 362 this morning and it came in without incident. Some Hoppers are more shy about these things than others.

    The work around for the current tailgater issue.

    That's interesting. Assuming the discussion is with King's HQ (Bloomington, MN) it would seem that 61.5 could be acquired. I'm more than 8 degrees further west than Bloomington, and my Playmaker acquires 61.5. My understanding is that 61.5 is due south of Nova Scotia. Also interesting that...

    OTA Signal Strength Meter

    I think it was Bobby who first alerted me, a 7 year newby, to the Info-Recall method of pulling the current signal strength. :)

    Wi fi connection

    On my Hopper 3, I can get a feel for the internet download speed if I: Go Home, then On Demand Pick a free movie. Tell it to play it. Quickly tell it to Watch Later. Observe the yellow download speed shown. Don't know a way to get it to tell you the speed of your wireless connection from...
