AMEN!!!!

I checked today and there are new offers for Starz and Paramount/Showtime. The 2 free months of Paramount/Showtime have been replaced with Paramount/Showtime for $1.99 for 4 months. The same rate is being offered for Starz. All the other offers remain the same - 1/2 off the Dish Movie Pack...

To follow up on this, all of a sudden, once again all my recordings more than 60 days old no longer work. And this is with a new hard drive that I put in at the beginning of the year. I am convinced that there is some sort of expiration on DVR recordings now. The oldest recording I have that...

My understanding is that it is either a black screen (as it is data that the receiver can't encode) or a slate with information. But I am not 100% sure.

Thanks for this information. On the Dish Anywhere app, LAFF is streaming in what looks like HD (it is a ton better on the TV streaming than anything on Dish channel 239 or my OTA version of it), so I would think that somewhere there is a source that is HD, even if it is not widely available.

I don't know specifically, but "UP29" was a 'channel' that Dish put on transponders before active channels were added. LTD11 was also something behind the scenes for transponders - I can't remember exactly, but someone told me the "TD" part is "transmission data." I can't remember the rest of...

I was basing it off what I saw on RabbitEars. According to RabbitEars, there are 720p feeds of LAFF in Norfolk VA, Fort Meyers FL, Tucson AZ, Lafayette LA, Santa Barbara CA, and Corpus Cristi TX. Maybe that is incorrect. Trip would know the nuisances of his website.

It would be great to know if that is how it is being received. Here in Chicago, if I watch it on 38-4, it is 16:9. However, on Dish, to make it look the same, I need to change my receiver to be "HD: Zoom" in order for it to look the same. I know some DMA's it is being received in HD, so I...

Is the Drama and Classics package a newer package? I don't recall being able to add TNT to a package previously. Seeing TNT in an add-on pack caught my eye. https://my.dish.com/upgrades/drama-classics

I clearly don't know the difference between 398 and 399. I thought they were both the same channel...I thought FanDuel Racing and FanDuel TV were the same

I had the same issue on Western Arc before. The 119 satellite had no signal and I got an error that said signal loss due to weather even though it is perfectly clear here in Chicago. However, 110 was not impacted - full signal strength there. After about 3 minutes the signal on 119 came back...

The only offers I have taken advantage of over the past 2ish years was I did the Showtime free for 2 months twice and Movie Pack half off once.

I have 7 offers right now. My page was blank about a week ago as well, but now I have 7 offers again.

Thanks - I didn't know Dish did that - having an HD streaming version but SD on satellite. Makes me wonder why they don't do that with other channels. Such as DisneyXD, which they have streaming in HD on the DishAnywhere App but is only SD on the satellite feed.

It is unbelievable how much "nothingness" has occurred in terms of national channel movement between transponders since I last updated. The listings have now been updated as of 5/26/2025. Everything is so consistent now that there are only the 2 satellites on Western Arc.
