    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    Can someone tell me why anyone would stay with AT&T for their cell provider when Boost is using the AT&T network but only charging $15.09 per month. The cost for AT&T is $40-50 per month. I love Boost. It helps justify my expensive Dish network. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    How would I tell what cellular service I am using. Roaming is shut off in my IPhone so I assumed it was using the Boost mobile network. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    Everyone I talk to is amazed that I am getting voice, text, and data for $15.09 per month. The coverage is great. We went to Branson Missouri for vacation last week and I had cell service for the entire drive from Ohio to Missouri. Boost coverage appears to be better than T-Mobile which was my...

    Founder’s Message + Wireless Offer

    I have now had Boost mobile for almost a month. My bill is $15.05. The coverage between Marysville and Plain City Ohio is good. Prior to this I would lose T-Mobile service at several locations. Since I have WiFi at home, church, and Cub Scouts my total data usage was only .57 GB. My only concern...

    Nexstar wants to buy Tegna

    In the Columbus Ohio market Sinclair owns ABC WSYX and Fox WTTE and has a local marketing agreement with Columbus CW WWHO station. Sinclair ABC 6 and Fox 28 share the same news team. Nexstar currently owns NBC WCMH and will own CBS WBNS. If the sale goes through I suspect that NBC 4 and CBS 10...

    OTA Recorder

    I have read that the zapper box M3 (client only) does not work with encrypted channels. Playback of encrypted recordings and encrypted Live TV on connected devices (like the M3) is expected with the v4.0 software release, planned for December 2025. However the consensus is that A3SA will not...

    Satellite Locals Issue

    I noticed the same problem with my Columbus Ohio local NBC channel. My Meet the Press recording from 10:30 to 11:30 on WCMH was scrambled. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dish Installs

    I first went to the local Boost store in Marysville Ohio to see if there was good coverage. I was pleased to see 4 bars of 5G. The Boost store said the cost would be $25 per month if they did the activation. To get the $10 reduction to $15 per month I needed to go through Dish and have the...

    Dish Installs

    They both are Dish trained technicians so they are capable of doing both Dish installs and Boost activations. Unfortunately they don’t share work orders. That is how I ended up with two Dish technicians at my house. One doing my Boost phone and one installing my Joey3. Hopefully someone at Dish...

    H398 Software Version

    I manually updated both of my Hopper 3 receivers to H398. Both of my Joey 3 clients stayed at J596. After the update caller id and tv enhancements got shut off on my one Hopper 3 receiver. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dish Installs

    Yes my IPhone is now working on the Boost network. I am very pleased with the Boost coverage so far. I had 4 to 5 bars of 5G signal all the way from Marysville to my house and I have 2 bars signal in my house. With T-Mobile I would lose service during the drive from Marysville. The next step is...

    Pearl TV / Silicon dust article

    I just found out that currently the Zapperbox M3 (client) will not work with DRM encrypted broadcasts. Version 4.0 of their software was going to allow client boxes to work with DRM broadcasts but A3SA stopped them. Their current software version is 3.2.2. So currently no gateway device works...
