Non-sluggish performance, a smaller form factor, lower cost to have on my account, actual 4k programming, I could go on. As for new hardware, I basically mean a new Hopper - the Joey's and Android TV add-ons are fine but they are not able to replace my many years old Hopper as the main way to...

I have been a long time Dish customer, but with my contact about to expire in a few months I think it is time to cut the cord and go to streaming only. The lack of new hardware since the H3 and rising costs have resulted in paying more and getting the same or less.Is there a preffered way to end...

We can’t all be having the same issue in so many locations (Missouri to New Jersey) if it was just weather to our homes. Could it be weather on the Dish side?

Happening for several of us, my CNN, Nick etc.

Maybe it’s only from certain a satellite? I’m on Eastern Arc.

I’m having the same issue. Also on Nick and Nat Geo and some others.

Anyone else having this happen? Check signal stalls out at 60% as well. Might be weather related, but the channels do not show a Signal Loss message. I am in the Midwest on Eastern arc - sats are 61.5 and 77 (at least I think).

Thanks to this thread I was also able to call and extend my offer at the same rates and terms for another two years. Thanks everyone, this forum is the best!

I had the same thing.

These disputes and blackouts are becoming a real issue for Dish. I don't know if I will be staying with Dish when my contract is up if we are going to keep losing channels left and right. I understand Dish is not the one at fault in these issues, but at some point enough is enough.

Yep, it looks like Dish is giving up the fight: HBO Now Alternative Viewing | MyDISH | DISH Customer Support It would be nice if the Hopper could have the Now app built in so it was even easier to use.

The problem is HBO Go goes down like the Titanic every time a new GoT episode airs. One of the reason I HATE streaming versus an actual channel on Dish (weather issues aside of course).

My thoughts exactly, if GoT doesn’t bring it back nothing will :(

I would try switching HDMI ports on the TV. Older sets often have a shared HDMI/DVI port that can be a bear for handshake and HDCP issues.

The guy I talked to said it would auto-renew after the three months was over, but I could call or go online to mydish and remove it for free. I have had it for several years (since starting with Dish many moons ago) so I will have had it for more than 6 months at that point. I am not sure if I...
