    ABC/Disney Authenticated Watch Apps now working for Dish Network Subscribers

    WatchESPN working on my iPhone 5s. No longer have to use the in-laws Comcast account. :)

    They've been showing the 'Star in a reasonably priced car' segment on BBCA versions for quite some time now. Each episode I usually just skip through the interview to get to their run, since I usually don't know who these people are anyway. I watch for the cars and antics, not interviews. :)...

    More info on NFL RedZone on Dish

    I had no intension of subscribing to the $5.99 multi-sports package to get this channel.. but by 2PM or so, after reading people's reactions and descriptions of the channel, I decided to get it. I'll cancel the package after week 17. It is better than I thought it was going to be. Plenty of...

    Pause Function now different

    I don't believe this is necessarily a software change -- I think it has to do with MPEG2 vs MPEG4. I've noticed the pause changes, as well as different (slower) fast forward/rewind speeds on an MPEG4 program. Compare it to an MPEG2 program and you'll see it operate the 'old' way. At least...

    With Dayton, OH locals being available now, I may have to "move". I currently receive all Cincinnati and Dayton stations OTA without much issue. I also got a DTVPal DVR back in December to be able to record more OTA stations at once. I don't feel like putting up a wing dish to get Cincinnati...

    Streaming from Sling.com...is it possible?

    I have the same problem at work, so I had forward a second port on my home network (that is allowed through our work firewall) for my Slingbox. This is fine for my normal Sling Player, but I haven't seen anything on their limited online player (whether on dish.sling.com or beta.sling.com) to...

    SlingGuide - Problems

    Indeed, it does not show OTA channels in the grid, nor does it show OTA recordings (I believe it will also not show up in the timers list, but I didn't look). I first noticed this in the "MY DVR" section, looking at existing recordings, and the count on the left side of the screen was higher...

    Has the DTVPal DVR started shipping yet? (Yes)

    It's going to her work address, so unless somebody there decides to swipe it, it should be fine. It'd be nice if it showed up today instead, but I doubt that will happen.

    Has the DTVPal DVR started shipping yet? (Yes)

    My wife bought it under her name and her work address, so I can't look it up on my account. I'm on a plane for vacation on Tuesday, so I won't know if it came until I get back. Doh. :(

    December 18th Dish Retailer Chat Recap

    Thanks for the clarification. I guess I mis-interpreted the slide regarding the standalone TurboHD packages. Again, so confusing. :) After last year's increase for AEP HD subs, it would be hard to swallow another $10+ increase a year later. I still want some new channels, though. But hey...

    December 18th Dish Retailer Chat Recap

    Now now boys, calm down. :) Anyway, so looks like I get screwed again this year as an AEP + GoldHD + PlatinumHD sub (I think I got that right, so confusing). We had the largest increase last year, and if I'm reading it right, it looks like it's going up $13 this year, too ($3 more for AEP +...

    Cincinnati HD locals Sat ?

    This topic really shouldn't exist since it is already covered elsewhere. However, before it's locked/merged, have things changed? I thought you could not get EA as an existing customer, until February? Which, BTW, to me is the worst business decision E* could make.

    Dish Introduces DTVPal DVR

    I may pick one up -- for one major reason: lack of HD locals on E*. Sure, Cincinnati HD locals may be coming soon (but on 77, not the 110/119/129 I'm pointing at currently), but not all of the big 4 are included (CBS is missing). Currently the wife and I have to decide which network show we...

    Uplink Activity Report - 11/10/2008 1:02pm - 228 changes

    As far as Cincinnati HD locals, only 3 of the big 4 networks added. CBS (WKRC) is uplinked as MPEG4 SD, along with others. :( I was getting excited at first, but not having all 4 really puts a damper on things for me. Although, not being a new customer, I guess I couldn't get them on EA anyway.
