How do lots of people get free remote offers? Been a dish customer for 20 years with a big package and they never offer me a free remote. Who do I pester to get a free 54.0 or 54.2 or 54.3?

I was getting a couple of over the air stations with a small soffit mounted antenna. Now that the trees are full leafed out I am not longer getting a signal. Is this coincidence or is it due to the trees? Can I freely assume that a bigger antenna mounted about 15 feet high would restore my...

I see Joey 4ks on EBAY for approx $90. I pay 7 dollars a month rental for my current Joey 4K. Will I still be charged a rental feel even if I own the Joey? My guess knowing Dish is that they have us coming and going. But I am curious if I buy a Joey 4K outright and hook it up myself will...

Well I thought I might have gotten misinformation. Ends up a push, either the service plan or pay for the service call. Same price either way. The tech ran into some minor problems with getting my programming mostly due to MLB extra innings and ended up being her for two hours. Charlie...

I just did a Hopper3 and Joey 4k upgrade. Did an on line chat and was offer a bad deal initially. Told them that was not good enough and I had been a DISH customer for more than 10 years, etc. etc. and they needed to do better. Got them down to free upgrade including service call, but needed...

Waiting on DISH. The third update on tech arrival came a while back. Started out with a 12-5 window, then a 12:30-2:00, then a 1-1:45, then a 1:45-3:00. Trying to end up with a Hopper 3 and a 4k Joey. No upgrade fees but a additional two year commitment. Service call fee unless I signed up...

I am convinced. 4K Joey. is what I will get. Now if the online chat was working on the DISH site I would take care of this now.

How about Super Joey? Throw that into the mix does anything change?

Title says it all. We don't have a 4k TV yet but it is coming for the bedroom unit. But maybe not for a year. Any downside to the 4k over the Joey 2.0? Speed would be nice, so why not get the 4K and avoid the rush later.

I will try some of the above work arounds next week after the all star break.

tried that and still get the same Pay Per View message for programming that I should be able to watch on my phone.

Well I guess that puts me at Dish's mercy once again.

I did a software update this morning. Thought that fixed things, but I have no access to the dual tuner, only able to tune in to one OTA channel. Went to the diagnostic screen and it says I have Software Version U234 6/14/2017, 6:35AM. Apparently Even though I did a software update, I did...

When in doubt do the same thing over and over again. I went and did another software update. Then I scanned channels again and they are now on the guide and working. Like all things electronic, there is a bit of magic involved. Either that or a pact with the devil.

The only problem is that I am a Red Sox fan and MLB TV does not have them on for every game. There has to be a way as I have a friend who has no problems watching the Red Sox on his phone.
