    why would someone leave dish

    Virtually no buffering. Other than the DVR, I think Apple TV can do way more. I get everything that I used from dish, but now just pay less. Also, get more out of my $65/month 100M/bps internet service. I think it’s a win-win for me. Plus I get HBO again.

    why would someone leave dish

    It wasn’ a “dig”. I was justifying why I took the dish down. Price originally, but once I was able see both side by side, I found out what I was missing in picture quality. 5Mbit and MPEG-4 vs 12Mbit and H.264. I don’t have any problem with AT&T’s internet service, because I don’t have it. I...

    " I don't care what you say, you will not convince me that DTV's picture "is waaaaaay better" No, he stated DTV, not DiercTV NOW.

    why would someone leave dish

    First, I don't have Direct TV, or DTV as you called it. I have DirecTV NOW. It is AT&T's streaming service. Read a couple posts further down the line. for other opinions about the picture quality. The America's Everything pak includes all the premium channels, and I had the $8/month for Dish...

    And it was the bill was going up. They had put me on a 12 month promo, which brought it down to $162. And yes, the picture quality is wayyyyy better.

    They tried saying that because of the net neutrality laws, that Spectrum would raise my internet charges because I was using more data.

    why would someone leave dish

    They did the same to me. Sorry, HBO is a deal breaker. They the grass isn’t greener on the other side of the fence, but the picture quality from DirectTVNow smokes Dish. And my bill is down by $130/month for all the content that I want. Dish tried to play the net neutrality card.

    First time cord cutter, any tips?

    After 20 years with Dishnetwork, we gave them the old heave-ho. $220/month for 9000 channels that I don’t care about, to get the 100 channels that I do want. Ergen gets in a pissing match with HBO. The one channel that I do want. He is gong to lose the battle anyways, and pass the cost on to the...

    Is there a real manual for the Hopper 3 and 4k Joeys?

    I missed footnote 1 in the feature sheet. Oops. Has anybody been able to stream 4k, like Defiance, yet. I, like many others, keep getting the fault screen saying that my receiver does not have enough internet bandwidth. I know it's definitely not the case in my house. I've even changed from...

    Is there a real manual for the Hopper 3 and 4k Joeys?

    I am beginning to think that these boxes don't put out 4k, unless they are playing 4k content. My hopper and my joey, on both my 4k sets both show 1080p in the diagnostics tab in settings. I thought these boxes upconverted everything to 4k. Neither of my tvs are detecting 4k signal.

    4K Test/Demo Channel?

    I'm thinking hat something is broken on Dish's end. No 4k VOD for me with 60Mbps. But, both my TVs, and my blu-ray player are steaming 4k just fin from Netflix, Amazon, and M-GO.

    Hopper 3 terrible HD picture

    It should be set to on. You'll only see any difference, when the source material is broadcast in HDR.

    4K Test/Demo Channel?

    Apparently, my 60Mbps connection isn't fast enough either. Hmmm

    Hopper 3 terrible HD picture

    Yes, you are correct. My bad, especially because my parents just bought a UN60JS7000. The JS7000 will do HDR. The UHD setting will enable HDR for each input..
