    Why don't all the channels show up on dish Anywhere app?

    The OP stated " I use the dish anywhere app on my Roku TV " so you can see my confusion. I guess if he had a firestick or Appletv box plugged into the Roku TV and stated so perhaps I would less confused. And I cant get rid of the stupid bullet points.

    I didn't think Roku supported Dish Anywhere-it's the only reason I have a Firestick. Learn sumptin everyday.

    It may finally be time to say Good Bye

    Here's where I'm at.Called the 888-496-1260 number(Ironically I used to have the number in my signature on this forum) and had a pleasant conversation with George in Tulsa. He indeed was loyalty/retention. Started out by saying"Oh jeez -you called a day too late for the promo!" When I explained...

    It may finally be time to say Good Bye

    I seem to remember that number becoming a standard number after The Great Hack(already a distant memory).But I will give it a try next. I guessing that Dish now has a metric on how often a customer gets passed up the chain and there was a Monday Morning memo emphasizing the point.

    Dish Protect

    I remember reading an article a number of years ago about a guy who experimented with "do you have a good guy discount?" whenever he was shopping. Many times he heard "I can't give you a discount but I can do this for you...' Worst case everybody lightened up a bit.

    Hopper Plus Required for Signal Saver? - NO

    They unfortunately do not provide streams for our locals which happen to be the ones that cut out the most.Not all of us have OTA signal- I put up a large Channel Master UHF antenna with a booster in a vain attempt . I shoulda listened when the antenna website said I needed a 135 foot high tower!

At the last...
