    Recommendation for a cell phone for a senior with dexterity issues

    My Dad is now living in a Long Term Care facility. He needs to have a phone, if for no other reason than to have it. He has serious dexterity issues so it is very important that the phone have large buttons and be easy to answer. My thought is a basic no frills cell, either to add to my...

    Contacting DIRT

    Zach, Cut the cord some time ago, but we are contemplating coming back. The $49.00 2 year price lock deal is very attractive. Recently I saw in the Military Exchange weekly sale flyer that Dish has a Military program. I think it was a 3 year price lock. It included a phone number, but no...

My wife is thinking about it for the cable news, given that this is an election year....personally I'm...

    devices for steaming tv

    You can do XBMC with minimal knowledge of technology. If you can read you can be successful. There is a neat little device called a RaspberryPi. It is a micro computer a bit bigger than a deck of cards. They boot off of an SD card and can be set up to boot off an sd card and use a thumb drive...

    2 New to me IPTV boxes

    Once you set up KODI you then add various addons that provide the content you want to watch. There are several forums dedicated to KODI/XBMC: KODI, TVADDONS, TotalXBMC, OPENELEC.TV etc. I suggest you check out the forums and see if KODI is what you are looking for. It is Open Source so you...

    CBS stations return to DISH

    Just checked the WBZ Facebook page. WBZ is making it seem like this is all the fault of DISH, just like Fox25 did when FIOS dropped them, but the viewer comments are all directed towards CBS. For the most part they suggest CBS should not be asking for more money. We cut the cord two years ago...

    Grit and Escape Ink Fresh Carriage Deals

    Escape is on 6.3 WLNE-D3 out of Providence. WLNE is the ABC affiliate I'm actually in the Boston DMA, however I do receive two Providence stations OTA. Don't see Grit yet.... EDIT: just did a double check and Escape is also on 66.4 WUTF-DT in the Boston DMA Ross Sent via Tapatalk

    "Smart Dvr"???????

    So as a former Dish customer and current cord cutter, I receive the typical "please come back" mailings once or twice a month. It's been over a year, we are reasonably happy with OTA and streaming, and it is certainly a big cost savings. I usually take a quick look at the mailings on the off...

    Why do we have to pay for locals with Dish?

    I for one had no idea that multichannel video providers had to pay the locals to retransmit until I found this site (several years ago). We switched to Dish when they began carrying the locals in our DMA, and yes it was $5.00 more per month. I honestly thought it was an up charge by dish for...

    Why do we have to pay for locals with Dish?

    I expect most tv viewers don't realize that you can still receive OTA! We dropped Dish over a year ago. Frankly it was a combination of economics, and our dissatisfaction with overall content of pay tv. Sure we miss some shows, and we definitely miss the cable news and NESN, but we have three...

    Dish "Transfer" Question

    I suppose you should have asked the question before you set up the Hopper Install, but especially before the tech left your house! I don't know much about windows tablets, which I assume you are using, but have you explored going through a browser? Good luck Ross Sent via Tapatalk
