    Sling / DTV Now / Vue

    Thanks msmith! You're right, I found this link that shows compatible apps in a matrix .... https://www.cnet.com/news/playstation-vue-vs-sling-tv-streaming-live-tv-compared/ Here's one that compares actual channels as of 11/29/16...

    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...
