    Satellite Problem

    Jimbo. The ABC OTA is really good. The signal strength is around 80% to 86% depending on the cloud cover. I have an outdoor antenna on a mast about 20 feet in the air. The biggest complaint was from my wife when she watched Jeopardy or Will Trent. The recordings were really bad most of the time...

    Satellite Problem

    ABC is not having the issue. It is a Dish satellite rebroadcasting issue.

    Satellite Problem

    Rapid City South Dakota. Mainly Channel 3, ABC KOTA. A few times on Channel 15 CBC KCLO. I have a Dish OTA module and an outside antenna. I get really good signals with it and have switched ABC to the OTA channel for recording. It has been a whole lot better now using OTA. The Dish technician...

    Satellite Problem

    I had a Dish service call last week. I was getting bad pixelation on ABC. The tech checked my system and said that everything was fine. The problem was nationwide. Dish was having trouble with a satellite that rebroadcasts ABC on channel 3 and CBS on channel 15 sometimes. There was nothing he...

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    I watched a bit of the Super Bowl on 146 yesterday not because I like football but I wanted to see what 4K looked like. The picture quality was better then on the Fox channel. So I left it on 146 and then watched a DVR recording. I noticed it had a green tinge all over the recording. I thought...

    Our Contract end again

    I saw an ad for Dish last night saying that if you renew to a new 2 year Dish contract you would get Netflix for free. Did you get that deal?

    Looks like It’s official Directv Buying Dish

    So will Dish eventually "Ditch the Dish" and go the streaming route like DirecTV did a few years ago?

    Bonus view classics fast channels new on the hopper 3

    I just checked out these 15 new channels. It looks like these will not be watched by me. I have the TOP 200 Dish package that is listed as having 240 channels. From that package I only watch about 10 channels and DVR about 99.8% of what I watch. So now I can add these 15 channels to the 230...

    18 years and I may cut the cord!

    My Paramount Plus has way better picture quality then Dish. I had read that with Dish, the satellite feed to the DVR and live TV is somehow degraded a bit in a conversion process. Paramount Plus, You Tube TV, and HULU give you a true digital signal picture,thus a better picture.

    18 years and I may cut the cord!

    You Tube TV does not have the Science Channel or the History Channel. Not having those 2 channels, I will not be switching to You Tube TV from Dish.

    Xfinity's X1

    They will not pause live TV, only recorded from the DVR. Mine will usually lock up if I use the skip ahead button. When I get to the last 7 to 10 minutes of a recorded program, it will not let me skip ahead or fast forward, so I am forced to watch a boring, useless commercial. Compared to my old...

    Xfinity's X1

    I see that you found your answer. I remember when I programed my remotes, it automatically gave me the 30 second advanced and the 15 second back feature.
