    ROKU STICK OR FIRE STICK

    I have both Roku and Firestick, Firestick had better picture quality on my TV, but with updates on the Roju I can't tell the difference. But yeah definitely better than trying to use apps on the H3.

    Cutters Q&A: Sling VP on Why You Can’t Just Move DISH Customers Over to Sling TV

    Ah yes, But DTV is or was owned by AT&T they own their own internet backbone and can distribute streams for a lot less than Charlie (Echostar/Dish/Sling) could ever think of doing it for. The of course there's distribution agreements with the channel owners.

    More Cable Channels are about to end due to cord cutting

    If only some of those channels would show better programming, SyFy could use better shows, but NBCU thinks that Wrestling is what SyFy fans want. FXX and FXM need better shows, FoxSports2 I watch or Record my Aussie Rules footy on but most of the matches they show are with unpopular teams, and...

    Time for another subscription increase

    Meanwhile Dish continues to charge us ridiculous DVR and monthly receiver fees. If that isn't just pure profit, especially on those of us who own our equipment.

    Credit check

    Now that's an organization that probably has a file on every person on this planet on its servers. I've known people who've worked there, but I don't think they do credit reporting.

    Date when Dish stops broadcasting SD stations/data? Mar 2023?

    Yes I remember the big Disney/ABC/ESPN Dish Dispute, all Disney channels were gone for months I recall, when they returned only a couple of them were in HD, as opposed to prior to the dispute I think all of them were in HD.
