As I am cleaning up my data after all of the recent changes, it makes me wonder what Dish's next move could be. Right now, Dish has 36 channels dedicated to Extra Innings, League Pass, Center Ice, MLB Alternate, NHL Alternate, the 4 Big 10 alternate channels, the 3 sports alternate channels...

Wow! A lot of changes on Western Arc. Very strange to have all of these changes at once after almost 2 years of minimal movement. As I am looking at the changes, Dish cleaned up 110, TP 21, which was a free for all with a mixture of SD, HD, and music channels. They moved all their SD...

Thanks for the info on this. I still have Dish, but once ESPN launches their DTC product, it will really make me think twice because so much of what I watch is sports. But there are these one offs that I don't have to worry about with the cable bundle.

I am curious if someone who lives in the streaming world can answer this question. This is one of the things that I am not sure of on completely cutting the cord. Take a look at the Open coverage next weekend. There is streaming coverage on Peacock in the early morning and then there is...

Does it work the first time without the internet connection? I thought the first time it had to have an internet connection then it was 'persistent' (or whatever the word was they used). I thought the true offline DRM where no internet was needed isn't slated until December and version 4 of...

Here in Chicago it now allows for satellite installs again.

Thanks - I thought it was a lot earlier.

Yeah - if I remember correctly, it was removed from DirecTV last week when the filed for bankruptcy and sued Trinity Broadcasting? I was surprised it wasn't removed earlier. The EPG was changed to Dr. Phil True Crime and Dr. Phil Primetime 24 hours a day the past couple of days.

That would explain why Dish updated their channel cards on June 30th

I went through the satellite/transponder listings and updated it through today, 7/6/2025. Once again, very few things that have changed over the last couple of months.

Exactly - that is why when I posted in another thread about the package, I was surprised because I didn't remember any other package having TNT or needing TNT because it was in all the packages.

It looks like TNT was removed from the Flex Pack. The channel lineup from June 10 shows it in the Flex Pack: https://my.dish.com/cms-files/channelcards/2025/0610/Channel_Lineup.pdf The channel lineup from June 30, shows it is no longer in the Flex Pack...

I got to say, I am getting into this streaming thing. I currently have the $20 Peacock for a year deal and this summer I have spent a lot of time in Peacock - more than I have before. I would say since I last used it during football season, it is a lot more smooth and less buggy. And even...

Is MeTV Toons HD on DirecTV? Not that it makes a huge difference with so many older cartoons, but here in Chicago, when there are cartoons on MeTV Saturday morning, there is a clear difference in quality when watching on the 720p HD feed vs the SD subchannel.

Yeah, I wish I knew the why's on some inconsistencies like that...
