    ATTN Youtube enthusiasts

    If that happens on April 20, then it would be for the same reason. Incidentally, Google says that its replacement API v3 is also now identified on their 'deprecation policy' which I take to mean buyer beware for anyone that has or is thinking about buying equipment not affected this time around.

    ATTN Youtube enthusiasts

    This is a bit of old news that was announced last year, but the deadline is almost upon us. If you ever watch Youtube through a Smart TV or Blu-ray player, that may be about to change. Youtube announced last year that it will no longer support the v2 API based YouTube app on certain devices...

    Dish to Drop Weather Channel?

    I saw that Verizon dropped The Weather Channel from Fios and now Dish isn't as likely to renew the contract. Gee one less reality channel, what are we to do?

    Dish$

    Thanks, I actually left out something else which I found almost as dramatic as the $83 I spent for the whole of 1998. Looking at just the past seven years since 2008 it's obvious by observation that spending less than $800/year is a thing of the past. The yearly average during that period...

    Dish$

    I'm going to do something a bit different than the topics I've read on this forum. I'm going to show exactly how much I've spent on Dish over the years. What I am not going to do is provide additional detail as to what my programming level is/was at any point, how many receivers I have etc...

    The Weather Channel....is BACK!

    I'm not even a DIRECTV customer but good for them, I wouldn't be objectionable if DISH were to drop TWC as well. This is a slightly bigger news story in this area because this is where TWC launched some 30 years ago and is still based. I'm reasonably certain that during its first 25 years none...

    Changes to "Dish on Demand" on screen menus

    Thanks for the replies. I wasn't aware that the on demand queuing - watch later/my rentals - had been affected as Kamikaze described, but then again I haven't felt like trudging through that mess.

    Changes to "Dish on Demand" on screen menus

    Would any of you good people share any of you own observations that would confirm or dispute my observation regarding the on screen search? I am still only seeing 80 titles available to search from and no way to widen that scope. I did contact a DIRT member, and I realize that this might be...

    Changes to "Dish on Demand" on screen menus

    Specifically the subset of "New Releases" which at the moment lists 80 movies. Dish has bound my searches to only those 80 titles. I will add that I don't normally use "Search TV Shows" but I just tried it moments ago prior to this post. Interestingly enough that search was also limited...

    Changes to "Dish on Demand" on screen menus

    I am aware that nothing lasts forever, ever changing consumer and market forces account for many changes, others may be security or technology driven. Regardless of what the underlying reasons may be, it seems that Dish continues to hammer additional postmortem nails into the coffin of the...
