    Considering the Move to Dish Network

    Just going off first hand knowledge having many Philippine friends while in the navy. What they shared, not what google turned up. Yes therebere many Spanish terms intermingled. One friend was half Philippine and half Chinese.

    Question about HD channels on Western Arc

    Love the term FUBAR just because it’s an acronym few people know it’s meaning, like SNAFU.

    HD appears very compressed

    I can’t speak to earlier hoppers, I jumped from a 722 to H3. I saw a noticeable improvement in HQ as well as overall speed of operation. There are some of the lower bandwidth HD channels I can barely stand to watch. Poor quality and jitter framed crapola.

    Haven’t heard of Preferred Customer Offer or sling tv or Dishanywhere on firestick and portable smart device?

    Channel guide screen - no icons

    Probably something to do with VOD loading on drive. Once completed drive status should pop up.

    Is it too late to cancel?

    Leased. Key is the time period. In 2016 there were no j3’s and my 722 was not yet close to retirement but DVR drives and EHD was and the transfer wasn’t pretty.

    Is it too late to cancel?

    That’s what I paid in October of’16 plus $50 for a wireless Joey. Well worth it. I upgraded from an original 722.

    Loyal Dish customer longevity

    20 years and on my 2nd 2 year price lock. $72.99 for H3 and Joey, flex with locals and movie pack. Hard to beat.

    High Pitch Noise from Dish?

    I hear crickets constantly. I imagine there could be worst ringing but not been a huge deal for me. Ambien helps a lot!

    dish vs. directv rain fade: dish wins.

    It takes a serious low to the ground storm to the south to kill our signal. South central Indiana on western arc. H3 with hybrid lnb’s.

    Mission Broadcasting blacks out DISH customers in 21 markets across 18 states

    What’s a Super Bowl? Southcentral Hoosiers may not care. More than you’d think.

    Is Dish planning on more HD channels, like Oxygen?

    50 pound 65” Samsung here. I had to wait till my better half got home to hang it. Damn screen died barely a month after purchase. I had to deal with South Korea pro duct support. Next time I’ll get a big son-in-law to yell “pull”!

    Contract up, bill up - can DIRT help me without calling Loyalty?

    My phone call was short and painless with a very short wait time. After al was done I had one bill that was about $20 less than normal and one $20 more, but I’m locked in at a rate that’s $6 less than what I was paying for my previous preferred customer discount. The billing oddity was due to...
