    Flint market NBC25,Fox66 and The CW 46

    Yes, ABC KOMO4 in Seattle has the same crawl. Ditto, what's up? Didn't we just play this last year? I understand why people are cutting the chord & sat links.

    Hopper unable to handle 2 dish remotes

    I've been lovin my dish w/hopper. However, I am unhappy with it's inability to handle more than 1 remote. All of my previous dish receivers had the ability. At least that's my recollection. I called Dish and they said "that's the way it is". I think it's do-able, it may require a software...

    Have you ever been so disgusted with pay tv?

    The poll should be need/want. None of us needs it, but, we all want it. The more/cheaper the better. Well, I can't even get locals with an antenna, so maybe I need it. Ergo....gotta pay to play.

    sharing guide lists

    Thanks for that. Sorry to take so long to reply. I had an issue when I went to the Joey as I was offered an option to update system or remote. I think I erred by picking system, then I had to go through another bunch of stuff to get my remote paired back to the Hopper. But, it's done and it...

    sharing guide lists

    I came back to dish after 2yrs with the other. Anyway, I have a hopper w/sling and a super joey. I created a favorites in the guide list, but, I can't see it on the joey. Irritating to me. Is it not possible to share the favorites between the hopper and joey? Both are hardwired on my...

    Considering change from Dish to Direct

    biggest gripe is can't re-wind live tv. I understand that it's not really a dvr. But, somewhere I had the idea it could rewind whatever we were watching live. Oh well.

    Considering change from Dish to Direct

    Ooma/directv caller id

    try the Ooma Linx if twizt3dkitty's won't work for your setup. I used the backfeed suggestion, but the Linx worked in another location. (same house)

    DIRECTV Rumor Alert!

    Thank you Scott. I used to visit here daily as a Dish sub, but found it lacking in Direct info. (I know use the other site). I have since switched from Dish..talk about inflexible in their 1 hopper rule...back in august. Anyhow, I still respect the info on this board/forum and appreciate...

    Talk Me Off the Ledge

    Except for the equipment, this pretty much sums up where I am right now. I checked it out and think I will switch away from Dish. Not happy with the treatment I received regarding a dying 622 and not enough tuners in hopper for my needs. I would save money over the two years with the other...
