I've been with Dish for nearly 20 years and never experienced rain fade. The only time I lose signal is during very heavy thunderstorms.

I did notice that the Frndly app is not compatible with my Nvidia Shield TV. I guess I can try side loading the APK and see if it works.

Thanks. Might have to check this out.

What streaming service are you paying $80 per year for?

If it's an Android device then you should be able to side load any apps you want.

All I did was connect the same coax cable to the 211k that was also connected to the Hopper.

Yes. I ran check switch and it did not detect the satellites. Whenever I tried to go to any of the channels I got the "complete loss of signal message".

My 2 year contract after upgrading to the Hopper isn't up until February, so I'll wait until then to contact Dish to figure what I need to do in order to get the 211k working. It may be that I just need to deactivate the Hopper and then activate the 211k.

I hooked up the 211k and after it downloaded the program guide it gave a "complete loss of signal error".

I'm thinking of getting rid of my Hopper 3 and going with a 211k that I own in order to save on the $15 a month DVR fee. I really don't record much and wouldn't miss the DVR that much anyway. Would the 211k work with my current set up or would I need a technician to come to my home?

Guess I'm not getting rid of the Welcome Pack.

It isn't listed as an option on mine. I have the Welcome Pack now and I was going to upgrade to Flex. I was told If I cancelled the Welcome Pack that I would not be able to get it again since it is no longer offered.

Just got off the phone with a Dish CSR and was told that the Welcome Pack is no longer available. This is the first I've heard of this. Anyone aware that it was removed?

Even when the cost of fuel and food was down it didn't stop Dish from increasing their prices every year did it?

Dish is bleeding customers as it is. Raising prices isn't going to help.
