Cool, checking it out, looks cool. Thanks for the suggestion.

I know this thread is over 3 years old, but I am considering come back to dish after over 4 years and wondering of there are any new development sin Eastern Arc vs. Western Arc. I am still in Cobb County Georgia.

I had DirecTV from 95-2001, then Dish until 2015, tried Comcast for about a year and tired of all the outages, worse than rain fade on satellite, which is at least predictable. Went to DriectTV and was fine until the usual jack up price of $50 with no real deals to keep me. Went back to Comcast...

Curious why you are all leaving Dish? Cord cutting or on to something different?

AT&T of years ago does not exist, the current AT&T is SBC that bought the rights to the dying AT&T brand years ago. SBC sucked more than AT&T.

The satellite provider pays all this, in exchange the local OTA broadcaster reaches more people and potentially increases ad revenue from have a larger audience. The broadcaster basically is getting greedy by double dipping.

Was Directv in 1995 when ti was $800 for single TV setup, left for Dish in 2001 becasue Dish was offering better deals. Stayed with Dish until early 2016 when I moved to Xfinity for Internet and could not resist the bundles, was also tired of the constant rate hikes, fees and disputes. 8 month...

DTV's biggest mistake was letting go of TiVo as a partner. Hopper just crushes Genie in the technology area, DTV has edge in PQ and a few other things.

I agree they get to use the airwaves for free and retransmit should be part of that ability to use the airwaves for free.

So I was with Dish 15 years and the real deals came after the disconnect after I had Comcast installed before they shipped me the return boxes. Too late at that point. Problem is Comcast has more outages than Dish rain fade so now I need to decide between DTV or Dish. Dish has H3 with better...

I have 2 Dish dishes on the roof now, from what I can tell the DTV mast will be different, can anyone tell me what the current dish setup is for DTV? I want to try and avoid them putting more holes in my roof.

Thanks. I see the AM21 is pricey so will skip it. I am going to look into a nice 3TB AV drive and eSata case before my install. I will use Dishpointer, but should be good since disk 110/119 were good.

I started with DTV back in 1995 when it was $800 and stayed with them 6 years until Dish had some better deals. I then stuck with Dish until earlier this year when I was tired of PQ, channel disputes and their constant nickel and diming fees. I had gotten Comcast Internet becasue UVerse was just...

Well that could be true, but would be very arrogant of them, but that is their choice.

At this point not sure Dish is worth it, their attitude, constant blackouts and inferior PQ. The real appeal was the Hopper 3 and I am used to being dumbed down by the X1 from Comcast now for 8 months so that the Genie will be a step up. The real plus for H3 was the 2TB so that I could record...
