Had lots of snow the last few days and my dish is covered and I'm lazy, so I have 0 signal for any channels. In fact at this point I can't even select a channel because the guide can't be acquired. But, there are channels on Dish Anywhere that are available and I'm wondering how. My wife was...

I just called because my three month courtesy credit expired and I was going to ask to re-sign up again as I've been doing every three months for years now it seems. it always goes like this: 1) I ask to renew credit 2) They offer to lock in my the current price for a two year contract (more...

Holy crap. I just saw one of those Fox "Dish took it" commercials for the first time. What a bunch of disingenuous simplistic crap. I don't know if the bold-faced lying is more annoying or the fact that they assume I, as someone watching football on their network, am certainly so stupid that I...

Is the Epix mobile app not included with the Dish Movie Pack? Epix channels are part of it, but when I log into the app it tells me I'm not allowed to watch movies and I need to upgrade. The website is a bit unclear, or at least makes no mention one way or the other.

[as the hand of the free market snakes further and further up your ass] "I LOVE YOU HAND OF THE FREE MARKET....OH GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!"

Game of Thrones stopped being unpredictable or interesting two seasons ago. Meanwhile in the last two weeks ATT has killed off my wife's favorite streaming service (Drama fever), my favorite streaming service (Filmstruck), mainly it seems because they don't want what they call "niche" content...

Has anyone been able to use Center Ice credentials to log into other NHL.tv apps? There is a link on the ROKU NHL app for the Rogers NHL package, but I don't see one for Center Ice. Or is the Center Ice validation only possible on NHL.tv in a browser?

In it's defense it is not a terrible description of the Lamotta/Robinson fight.

One letter can't make that much of a difference, right?

Couldn't wait. NHL.TV just lowered the price for All access for the rest of the season to $49.99. That as opposed to waiting and paying $110 or so for Center Ice basically for just Feb. and March.

Does Dish offer Half-season pricing for Center Ice? I've seen references elsewhere of the half-season price being $109 but I don't see that anywhere on Dish's own website. NHL.tv has an offer for less but I'd rather not mess with streaming box PQ issues.

Have a new Hopper w/sling and they updated the old UI on this one. I can't find any way to set filters when searching that were in the old version. Things like "HD or standard" "ratings" etc. There were a lot of ways to customize searches on the old UI so you would get say only movies that...

I'd love the one that's re-running the Johnny Carson show every night.

I've been pretty satisfied with the last few years. I just did my annual "multisport for $6.50/m for a few months to watch Redzone" and it was automatic once I asked. It's a nice perk. My neighbors with Direct are dropping it because they say they can't get Redzone without ordering the entire...

Anyone heard anything on this? It really sucks that the only real news (rather than hotTrumpTalk!) networks is shutting down. It's hard to think of anything else that could replace it. BBC World? Just now I'm watching in depth on-the-ground reporting on five or six stories that will never...
