    March Madness?

    Ok, thanks everyone. Looks like I need to reactivate my subscription then, at least for a month.

    March Madness?

    Does anyone know whether SiriusXM broadcasts all the live NCAA Tournament games for March Madness? I'm going to be doing a lot of driving during the first few rounds of the tournament and I'm debating whether it would be worth reactivating my radio before my trip. Sent from my Pixel 6 using...

    Comcast Rates going UP

    I just wish I could opt out of the locals on Comcast.

    Mystery package from Dish

    I did. I contacted Dish, let them know that I was coming to the end of my pause period and that I have an ongoing construction project that prevents me from mounting the dish at the moment (which is true). The rep asked how long I wanted to pause for and then put me right back on a fresh...

    Mystery package from Dish

    The package is here and.... It was an empty box for me to return my Joey 2. No mention of my Hopper or 4K Joey. Since my account is on Pause, I'm not sure why they are asking for any equipment back, but it especially doesn't make sense to ask for just one receiver out of three. I chatted...

    Mystery package from Dish

    It got rescheduled. The package is out for delivery today. The suspense builds.

    Mystery package from Dish

    What if it is a voice remote INSIDE a return box??? Now that would really blow my mind! :cool:

    Mystery package from Dish

    I received a notification from UPS today that I have a package from Dish Network scheduled for delivery tomorrow. My service has been on Pause for nearly 9 months and I recently extended it another 9 months. Any guesses on what they are shipping to me???

    Why do I have Dish?

    I was in basically the same position as you as a long-time Dish subscriber and finally decided to sign up with Comcast and go on Dish Pause. I'm coming up on the end of my 9 month pause now and don't think I can justify going back to Dish. Comcast has everything I need, plus is significantly...

    Can I go on Dish Pause again?

    Yeah, that's really it for me. I'm perfectly happy without Dish for now, but I'm mostly interested in keeping my receivers and recordings preserved in case I decide to go back to Dish at some point in the next year.

    Can I go on Dish Pause again?

    I am currently on a 9 month Dish Pause that is set to expire somewhere around July. I am out of contract, so I would just be going month-to-month. After my service restarts in July, could I go right back on Dish Pause the next month, or are there limitations to how often it can be used?

    The Guide Doesn't Populate OTA Channels Very Well

    I am long past any commitment, so my decision will be made purely based on whether I want to continue with Dish.

    The Guide Doesn't Populate OTA Channels Very Well

    I am currently on Dish Pause and am still considering whether to allow my Dish subscription to re-up when the pause is over, but this is one of the key issues that may drive me away for good. Other than the major networks, OTA is almost unwatchable on Dish due to all the missing guide data...

    "Home Media" App removed?

    Android TV on all my TV's, either through their native apps or an Nvidia Shield Pro. It is definitely much more reliable than the Home Media app was. But I am also currently on Dish Pause and I'm getting all my content through Android TV apps. For the most part, I haven't missed Dish since I...

    "Home Media" App removed?

    I rely on DLNA quite a bit, but I always found the Hopper Home Media app to be a buggy mess. I finally gave up and moved on to other options. It became obvious that Dish wasn't going to dedicate any resources to supporting the Home Media functions, so I eventually gave up and moved onto other...
