    CANCELED DISH

    We recently cancelled, paid $220 due to months left on the contract. They did ask for the LNBs but when I said I couldn't do that, not another word was mentioned about it. Felt strange to cancel as we've been dish customers since about 1997. But the times, they are a-changing in general and...

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    Yeah, it's definitely for the kiddos. No big deal, I'm glad to leave it for them so long as I don't have to spend time looking at it.

    I don't think there's a dish in the Yosemite scene.

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    I can't promise it is accurate, but someone posted screenshots of their Shazam music search matches for the songs in this Facebook Dish Scapes group thread. You can't listen to the music but you can see the names of the songs, artists, etc...

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    It might be interesting knowing what the one letter a month is spelling. So far we have "22SEP".

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    We're not big fans of the music either. Having said that, we don't like scenes with "sudden" nature or other types of sounds. Often we like having the channel on just for ambience and sudden noises don't help with that. Either way, after watching for a while we usually turn the volume way...

    why won't Dish fix their idiotic guide issues?

    Houston is a mess: 11.4 (which carries CBS primary) has no listings (apparently the guide populates if you can receive 11.1) 20.1 shows the listings for 26.1 (Fox) 39.1 (WB) shows the listings for 2.1 (NBC)

    Dish Retention No Longer Offering A Discount

    I've been under the impression that they tell you the price is going way up to get you to call, agree to a small increase with another 2 year contract. Thats what I did a couple of months ago. But maybe that has changed.

    That's Bigfoot climbing the rope. He can also be seen off to the right in the distance walking along.

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    On the Dish Scapes group on Facebook the Dish person said they heard the many requests and have restored record and play back.

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    The no record/pause thing just seems unreasonable to me. Why should dish care whether I back up to see something better? It just frustrates me a bit and takes away some of the fun of watching it.

    Houston OTA Channel 11 - no guide

    Thanks for the clarification - quite reasonable for those who have Sling/Internet connected to their Hopper 3.

    Houston OTA Channel 11 - no guide

    That's downright unhandy. You get on the internet to look at program listings. You find a program you want to record. You go to the Hopper, click on DVR then TIMERS then OPTIONS then CREATE A TIMER. You then enter the CHANNEL, FREQUENCY, DATE, TIME, and then CREATE. Or - they put up a...

    Houston OTA Channel 11 - no guide

    Frankly, not having a guide for a channel takes you back to the old VHS days. You have to go online to find out what programs are on that you want to record, then you have to set up a manual timer to record them. The case might be made that it was easier to set up a timer on an old VHS box...
