    Dumping local channels (preferable)

    After the ota scan, you can select which ones you want to add to your guide. The scan will find a lot of channels, some of which may be duplicates if you live between big cities.

    Dumping local channels (preferable)

    I did what John states years ago. At the time, Dish would install an OTA antenna for free, and so I have one at the peak of my 2-story roof. I'm sure that one of those small HD window antennas will work. The coax cable from it will screw into the dongle that John posted, and that dongle will...

    Our Contract end again

    I was paying $116 for the top 200 package with a hopper 3 and 2 Joey's. The new price will go up by $10, I believe. No, i wanna s not offered the Netflix deal. I'm friends with someone high up in customer service, so I think that he hooks me up. But perhaps if I had called in amd threatened...

    Is Dish in a fight with Scripps again?

    Yes, my guide shows that the channel is not available, but I receive it with my ota antenna. Now, channel 10, ABC, is also fighting with Dish, but the ota antenna will fix that, but I won't get a guide I guess, which I don't get now anyway. I don't get a guide for any locals except cbs and nbc...

    Our Contract end again

    My contract was up before the increase of Sep 19th, so I renewed for 2 years to lock "today's rates" at the time. Another increase will take effect on December 13th, and that's a bigger one than the $5 increase of Sep 19th. The merger wasn't announced back then, so I feel like a fool for...

    OTA Adapter Questions

    I add myself to this issuer here in Miami. Up until 4 or 5 months ago, the OTA local guide was accurate. Then it changed to just showing the channel number and name in the guide. As of 2 days ago, one of the channels, 39 (SCripps, I believe), now shows "Channel is no longer available" in the...

    Dish Price Increases (2024-25)

    So, my top 200 package will go from costing $87.99 minus $5 for autopay to $112.99? Holy crap. That's a lot more than $5. However, I can lock my existing price for 2 years to keep it at $82.99

    Pressing the rewind button jumps waaaaaaaayy back

    Hi Apparently, my thumb remains strong despite fatigue from the Olympic games. Has the software issue been resolved? Or do we have to continue to rewatch everything after one subtle press of the rewind button??

    Pressing the rewind button jumps waaaaaaaayy back

    Hello Hopper 3, with wired joeys 2, and 52.0 remote. The joey has software version J272. As I watch a program from OTA channels or satellite channels, pressing the back rewind button EVER SO SLIGHTLY, jumps way back to the beginning of when I tuned to that channel; it's as if I held it down...

    OTA channels are constantly searching for signal

    The Dish subcontractor came this morning with a very dumbfounded look. Thankfully, he has had other service calls for ota issues, so he wasn't totally clueless. He played with the settings, by scanning the locals, which was unnecessary. He moved the dongle to the usb 3.0 port, and no locals...

    Excellent suggestions. I have a contact at Dish CS that I'm hoping will get me a new dongle. Maybe.
