    What happened to AMC and Sundance

    I was only seeing Sundance during the free preview. i have not had AMC since we went to Welcome pack 6 years ago. The only reason I was looking for Sundance on the guide was so i could add it to a favorites list i was creating. The guide on these hoppers shows too many BS channels that I would...

    Dish 5G internet????

    When the techs were at the house Tuesday one of them mentioned Dish was going to be offering 5G internet service. He did not have a time line for the roll out. I live in the boonies (30 miles to the nearest Walmart in all four directions) and we use Verizon for our internet service. Verizon...

    What happened to AMC and Sundance

    That would explain part of it. On Tuesday, we got the Hopper 3 installed and they put in an EA dish. But, unless I can't see one of the satellites they should still show up in "All Channels". When i get home tonight I will try the home button 3 times and number 3. i have the welcome pack, so...

    What happened to AMC and Sundance

    I got my Hopper 3 installed yesterday and I tried to find the Sundance channel to see what was on but I couldn’t find it. I searched “All channels”, “All unsubscribed” and “All subscribed” with no luck. I even Googled the channel number (126) and it ain’t there. AMC isn’t in the guide either...

    I hope I didn't make a big mistake

    I think we will all be happy, then. If momma aint happy aint nobody happy, and it sounds like Dish was able to make both mommas happy.

    I hope I didn't make a big mistake

    I called Dish and talked to one of the best reps i have ever talked to on the phone. I don't remember his name but he was excellent. Anyway, they are going to come out July 7 and install a Hopper 3 and upgrade two of the Joeys to Joey 3. The other Joey is a wireless one and he said i would...

    I hope I didn't make a big mistake

    We did all of that while I was on the phone with her. It would not find the remote to pair back up. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys mobile app

    I hope I didn't make a big mistake

    Well, now on top of the tuners problem, the remote for the boss’ Joey quit working today. I called Dish and the young lady that answered went through several steps to see if it would come back to life. Alas, it was to no avail. Now the boss has to get up to change channels, yeah right. The TV...

    I hope I didn't make a big mistake

    Two weeks ago my 722 bit the dust. Yesterday, two Dish Techs came out to install a Hopper in the man cave. When they got there they said they were installing a Hopper and two Joeys and I told them it was just going to be one Hopper. They were, also, supposed to put in a new dish since we are...

    What direction should the antenna be pointing for the EA?

    When we moved here 13 years ago a “Dish” tech came out and ran the coax, set the TVs up and put the dish on a temporary platform. Another contractor came out later and put the post in the ground with concrete. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys mobile app

    What direction should the antenna be pointing for the EA?

    Using the Winegard app, as best I could, it looks like there are several places along the fence they could plant the pole and I wouldn’t have to cut any trees. I tried several places to find the WA satellites with clear LOS with no good results. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys mobile app

    What direction should the antenna be pointing for the EA?

    It is an invasive species that grows rampant, at least in South Carolina. it grows up against things like fences and in the fall it gets what looks like grapes on them. The grapes open up and turn white and that resembles popcorn. I fenced in our 5 acre pasture 13 years ago and now if the...

    What direction should the antenna be pointing for the EA?

    It is raining cats and dogs right now, but I will go out later and using the app mentioned above see if I can get EA or WA. I believe the only way they will get LOS on WA is to plant the pole in the back of the house and they would have a terrible time burying the wire. Whereas for EA they can...
