Just tried to cancel my full-priced Starz movie pack subscription and it offered me $5/month for 3 months to not cancel. I took the offer. Not sure if I had went ahead and canceled if an offer would have shown up in my “offers” area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is the Dish Anywhere app on the FireTV’s now working? They did a major upgrade a number of months ago which tanked the picture quality and resulted in a lot app lockups (spinners of death). I stopped using it because it was so bad. I went back in last week to see if they fixed it but it still...

Does the 3 year price lock work either flex packs? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I manage my elderly parents Dish account for them which has Starz, Showtime, and the Dish Movie package. All of the discounts for them had expired so I tried to re-up them on Saturday by canceling them. I was only offered a discount for Showtime. Neither the Dish Movie package nor Starz offered...

I’ve been wondering what happened to the repeaters. I recall something about getting rid of them or drastically reducing them. Is there a recent map showing them. The only I could find is quite old. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s great to hear. Can’t wait. I’ll be keeping an eye out for it. Thanks…

The updated version of the DishAnywhere app is terrible. Endless buffer and poor picture quality. The previous version was pretty good. Too bad.

We still have Dish, but dropped down to the cheapest package they offer and added FuboTV for our sports when they dropped our RSN.

I’ve had Dish for 25 years (so not an “anti-Dish” guy) and this is just more Dish shenanigans. Is there anyone left they haven’t had a dispute with of one nature or another. I shake my head at this one.

Dish did a major upgrade to the app on streaming devices a short while ago. With the new upgrade has come a major degradation in picture quality. Now, it can take several minutes for it to straighten itself out to HD quality and even then it’s not as good as it was. It also often hangs if you...

Does anyone know if it will show up as a “channel” on Prime or will the content just be featured in with the other Prime movies?

Is the Hopper Plus widely available now? How much does it cost to add to our existing Hopper 3?

That would be a good idea. SlingTV isn’t a bad way to go and is generally cheaper than many other options. One thing I really like about Dish is all of the flexibility it offers you to shave $$ off your bill. Locals are optional, the Dish Anywhere app on FireTV allows you to cut Joeys, and the...

I agree. I tried Slingtv for a few years but the prices on it and all of the streaming services keep rising. They’ll soon catch up to the cost of Dish. That’s why I think Dish’s hardware charges are where they’ll have problems and squeezed. I already own streaming devices so it’s no cost for me...

I’m in the same boat. Love Dish (been with them since 1999) and the Hopper but the equipment fees are hurting them. We are trying out Fubo on the side to see if we like it. The dropping of Root Sports pushed us into looking at options.
