    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    MTV app finally authenticated, so evidently Paramount is satisfied they aren’t going to get corrupted too!

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    Wonder if Paramount/MTV is one of the holdouts? Can someone give MTV a try? I still cannot log into the app on any of my I-Devices even after deleting and reinstalling the apps. Says “channel is not part of my package” yet I have the Everything pack.

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    I’m still unable to get into MTV app on Apple TV or on iPhone. iPhone has me log in through Dish, ATV gives me a code to enter through mtv.com/activate and then log in…and both state I’m not a subscriber to the channel, even though I am.

    I cannot get MTV to authorize even though I’m subscribed, but it says I am not.

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    You obviously weren’t watching Westworld, The Nevers, or Raided By Wolves…all recently pulled and sold off to FAST services! With HBO suffering through the debacle of the Discovery merger, no show is safe.

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    Time to freeze the three credit bureaus! I did it a few years ago and it's a lot of peace of mind...too many breaches to feel comfortable allowing a credit line to be opened without my knowledge.

    I HATE Google Assistant

    That’s what I have a phone and an iPad for...I’m all for convergence of tech but when they break something (Voice search) just to allow some poorly implemented “gee whiz” marketing hype for Google, that‘s a problem for me.

    I HATE Google Assistant

    Really upset that the Google Assistant has replaced the former voice search. I searched for “Flipping Exes” and was offered directions to a business in Carmel Indiana, and got zero results for any tv shows. So this “enhancement” now forces me to say “TV show” every time I search. I know it’s...

    DISH OTA antenna

    FYI, the HOA has no legal standing to prevent you from installing an OTA antenna. They may think they do, but the FCC says otherwise. For that matter, they cannot prevent the small dish antennas such as those for Dish either. Over-the-Air Reception Devices Rule

    Season 1 is the only UHD released thus far.

    OTA channels change every time I rescan

    He actually used antennaweb and pointed it south- southwest (shooting for 200 degrees). So that’s why I cannot get Fox. I would think for Champaign a good omnidirectional that was mounted high enough would bring in the big 4 in, so I don’t know why they use a directional. But now in reading...

    Getting bad reception from Dish's OTA antenna. Any suggestions?

    Yeah I wasn’t sure of the science but just that nearly all the old antennas have multiple rods protruding from it and are horizontal/parallel to the ground. Wonder how hard it will be to get the installer back? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    OTA channels change every time I rescan

    Yeah it’s the diginova. Mounted at the apex of a one story house so probably 20 feet in the air. I’m on the northwest corener of Champaign, so I’ve got Fox to the east-northeast and NBC and ABC west northwest , and CBS and PBS yovyhe south.

    Getting bad reception from Dish's OTA antenna. Any suggestions?

    I just got the same antenna installed for free today by Dish. However, he installed mine in a vertical position, instead of horizontal. The box says it can be installed in either orientation, but it just seems like the horizontal way would pull in better signal...any thoughts?
