I will be in a place with relatively low speed internet with a low data cap so streaming is out until StarLink is available, hopefully in 9-12 months.

Is this statement on reviews.org therefore inaccurate? "DISH does give you the option to live without a contract so you have the freedom to cancel your service anytime. If you’re not into that long-term commitment, you’ll just have to pay that $10–$15 more month to month."

I'm looking to start Dish or DirecTV satellite service but don't want to make a long term commitment/contract. What are the best deals to do this with a reasonable selection of channels? When I last was a Dish customer 4 years ago, they had an inexpensive a la carte plan they didn't publicize...

Is a FireStick running Dish Anywhere an option to make this work over existing WiFi? (although I've seen a slew of negative reviews of the app on FireStick).

Thanks! Yes, I have WiFi 6 router on each end connected via a pair of 5Ghz 867Mbps TP-Link CPE710s. The DECA eBay listing says "Requires SWM system." Is that something that's standard with Genie? Also, do you happen to know if the Dish system can be similarly configured, or only DirecTV...

The reason I suspect this is not possible is because I found this on cepro.com: "Some integrators have raised the question of whether a Wireless Joey can leverage the home’s existing Wi-Fi system. Since the WAP generates a proprietary wireless signal to the Wireless Joey, integrating with the...

I'm a prospective DirecTV customer. I've got a remote barn that's linked to the house via high speed WiFi bridging. Can I use that existing WiFi to link a TV in the barn to a DirecTV DVR in the house? Thanks

There's a WiFi 6 router on each end linked via a 5GHz 867Mbps point-to-point CPE dish cabled to the router on each end.

I'm looking to do a new Dish install at a friend's farm, which has a remote barn connected by existing high speed wireless network bridging. The links would be too far for the Dish Hopper/Joey WiFi. Can the Hopper/Joey be configured to use the existing premises WiFi for streaming etc? I...

I believe the Joey lost connection due to an internal hardware failure. Suddenly network status showed no router detected. Reportedly the other Joey's in the owner's main house had no interruption. They gave me a spare Joey to try and that powers up into the "Connect to WAP" screen. Based on...

I'm staying in a guest cottage with a wireless Joey connected to the owner's Dish system. There's also a WiFi network on the property. My wireless Joey has lost connection. After a restart, it is stuck on the "Connect to WAP" screen and wants someone to push the WPS button. However, I...

Am I the only one surprised to find a live and functioning FS1 right now?

Thanks. Yes, I do have the OTA tuner and your suggestion reminds me that I've often seen some screwy behavior with the 722K thinking the OTA signal was weak when it really wasn't.

nothing has moved and the dish is clear

ESPN and CNN keep dropping out with the Partial Signal Loss screen, error code 00-00-00, on this overcast morning in Albany NY. What's particularly bothersome is the blue screen persists until I take action with the remote control. I'm not even sure the signal loss screen pertains to the...
