Unfortunately, I don't see either DISH satellite TV or Echostar being around by then. I can see Charlie selling it all off and retiring soon.

Once Streaming is dominant media source, then you will see people start cutting out streaming sources and go back to OTA and Free Tv stations, due to price increases. Will come back full circle to the 1950s with 3 or 4 ota stations to watch for free. I can already see that with every...

I had that box too.

You should. Years ago you wouldn't get guide information either, but they changed that a few years back, since they are under so many disagreements over Locals carriage. At least if you had the antenna for ota and the usb ota device you could still see your locals and use them in place, till...

Cord cutters website had a story yesterday about they are expecting Sling Tv to go under this year. So I can see Charlie trying to sell off both Sling TV and DISH again to Directv or anybody to get out from under the dual sinking ships.

I liked how they became family and not just neighbors in the end. Calvin was really going to miss Dave, as annoying as he could be. I watched all 8 seasons of this show. Grover got kind of scary to me as he got older. All that long hair and he acted kind of dumb.

Actually not that large at all. I liked this receiver and bought two of them. It was a silver box and it wasn't that much bigger than the 722k. It had name based recording and was the first dual tuner HD receiver to have it in 2005, after the 522 SD receiver in 2004. The 942 could record 2...

So this whole Iran war thing might end up doing in DISH /Sling much quicker than they thought. People will be dropping anything they can do without, since is costing them extra money that could go to gas or groceries.

Their interface and guide are not the best with Sling. I have suggested for a while they need to morph it into DISH interface and guide. Sling guide is a mess of channels with no rhyme or reason with their free view channels all interspersed with the cable channels. Combine the best of DISH...

When I had DISH , I used them for: MOVIES NEWS, TV SHOWS,( shows off of locals that I don't have Prime Time Anytime turned on. Like Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays) RETRO ( classic tv ) Premium( for HBO,SHOWTIME STARZ etc.) DONNA. ( wife's folder and it kept everything in its...

To push people to upgrade to a newer receiver?

Not a fan of Crime shows and have never watched Science Channel.

Honestly as long as I have an antenna and a four tuner Tablo I am covered for anything I need a live TV service for. No monthly fees or price hikes either. Now the only other channels I need would be MSNOW, CNN (until they sell it) and my wife likes HGTV and Magnolia channels. The rest of...

I mean I can't recall what crap he uses his old computer for. Not that I can't remember because I have dementia like Trump. My kid rattles on about computer related stuff so much since he went to school for it and works for Jefferson County doing I.T. stuff for them now. I kind of glaze...
