I didn't realize others did this as well. Previously I have only done a streaming service if I could get a great deal, usually a Black Friday deal, and these were always for a full year with ads. This is my first time trying an ad-free service.

I know this isn't happening because of how the channels are setup, whether it be a technical or a contractual piece with channel providers. But I thought Dish would do something where all the national satellite channels would have a streaming versions 1000 channels higher. So if you went to...

Yeah - it was nothing during the shows. Just the ads at the beginning that I then needed to skip. I didn't realize there was a difference between ads and promos.

I actually have been thinking about that...

Got it - that is where I see them. Thank you for the clarification on that.

I made the jump and am trying Paramount+ without the ads. I have noticed that the ads still show up, I can just skip them buy clicking on the skip ad button. Is that how it works for others? I thought that the ad-free version would be that there are no ads at all - just the shows; not that I...

Scott - has a recent update removed the ability to copy and paste tables? I haven't updated the 119/110 satellite channel listing in a while because whenever I try and copy and paste, all the table data is stripped. It is as if the CTRL+V is functioning as CTRL+SHIFT+V would - my normal copy...

Today's uplink had QVC2 move from channel 255 to 74. It did not change transponders. Also, Smokey's Holiday Soul Town (SXM49), Country Christmas (SXM58), and Christmas Spirit (SXM63) were mapped down. No change in transponders. Finally, the Cowboy Girls slate from 233 was removed.

The December 1st uplink had the addition of 79, the Christmas search on 119, TP 21.

I thought they were already available? On my VIP211k, the following channels have added mappings for Christmas, and were added in last week's uplink: Traditional Holidays, Holiday Instrumentals, Country Holiday, Soulful Holiday, Classical Holiday, Modern Holiday, Holiday Remixed, Viva La...

My Black Friday deal ran out as well a couple of days ago and I was not offered a deal to stay. When I login, I am prompted with if I want to sign up for a year of Peacock Premium for $169.99. I don't have a lot that I want to see on Peacock at this point. Big 10 football is over, there is...

Thanks for the info! I would have thought Dish would have had something in the notes portion on the bill, like they normally do the month before they do their yearly increase.

Yeah, I haven't seen any post about it previously. The only thing I can think of is if those who were subscribed to it had a note on their last bill about the increase?

Dish is now selling HBO for $18.49. 1 cent less than YouTube TV. :biggrin https://my.dish.com/upgrades/premiums/hbomax

The programming guide confirms that there won't be a new Santas Workshop on 199 this year - it is going to be "Old Stone Church". "Celebrate the holidays as the snow falls near this forest church. Watch as reindeer, bunnies, and other fun surprises go by in this festive landscape." First time...
