    Insufficient Bandwidth - 1518 Message

    Returning to Dish!

    The equipment & DVR charges are waived during the 2-year promo; they revert to regular pricing after - THAT'S why it's a "promo". (unless you call in after & get them to put you on another such promo, which may/may not exist) I know this because this was discussed on my dealer board; any new...

    NBCSN on Dish?

    DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 2/04/2026

    Is this just on sat, or is it already (in HD) on stream? Also a little OT curiosity...is Cowboy Ch doing "pay-to-play" now for some reason, as all of a sudden it's been popping up on other providers like FiOS, & notably Comcast (though in SD-only o_O ) which has steadfastly refused to carry...

    Upcoming Contract Disputes for Dish?

    It's very much coming for (at least some) sat subs too: https://www.directv.com/support/article/000115551 DIRECTV satellite customers in good standing with a Signature Package will get an email by November 30, 2025, with a link to add the ESPN Unlimited App to their account—at no extra cost...

    question about 54.0 remotes

    If you still have those remotes, they WILL work with the new receivers, though only in IR mode. I still use them myself with my Ho's to this day.
