    Reset Showtime

    I watch Showtime Go with my Firestick. Previously it was through DISH and later Spectrum. With both of them I have an issue where I am frequently asked to enter a new access code. I do not have this issue with other similar apps. Just wondering if anyone else is getting this.

    Dish receiver on a non interruptible power supply.

    Said Goodbye to DISH

    After about 20 years I've dropped DISH. I was paying separately for TV, Phone and Internet to 3 providers.

    Have Sat TV - Who provides your internet service.

    DISH Issue?

    I have Showtime GO linked with my DISH account. Every few weeks when I try to watch it asks for a new validation code. When trying to enter it on the Showtime site, the process is a bit dodgy. Any body else experience this?

    DISH's second quarter number posted and they lost 281,000 subs

    If you recall the Steve Martin routine where he sells a single show ticket for one million dollars, this appears to be the DISH model. Charge more money to fewer subscribers.

    DISH Price Increases

    Hey, were losing customers. What’ll we do? Raise prices! – This ultimately is the Steve Martin concert approach. Sell just one seat for a million dollars.
