Agreed! I added T-Mobile back in December 2023 and have not looked back on the Internet side of things. When I first added it, the speeds were 130-170 Mbps. Since last June when they did some upgrades in my area, the lowest speedtest I had is 324 Mbps, average is between 380-420 Mbps, with...

I watched it last night - I thought it was very good. You should not need internet access to watch OTA tv...and with this encryption/DRM stuff, it seems to be necessary. To me, you should just be able to turn on your TV and watch it. As I mentioned in the other thread, and Lon mentioned in...

The details are fuzzy... supposedly for this year, you will still be able to access MLB.TV through the app or on MLB.com, that 2026 is a transition year. 2027 all MLB.TV as well as teams that allow in-market streaming on MLB.tv will be on the ESPN app. Some signs are coming out of what future...

True. I haven't subbed through Dish in many years - I have T-Mobile and I get MLB.TV for free. We will see how long that lasts now that ESPN is in charge of MLB.TV...

I still can't see how DRM lines up with the purpose of OTA being a public service. Take a look at the bad weather we are getting. Let say there is ATSC 1.0 and only 3.0 is around with DRM. Internet is down and can't authenticate or verify the certificate - whatever happens with DRM. Then you...

And just to put a bow on this - CNN is no longer in the Flex Pack according to the Dish Answers twitter account. :( View: https://twitter.com/dish_answers/status/2012347233090388259

On a side note, I am at 119 days without losing any recordings. My 9/28 recordings still work. Kind of sad that we need to track things like this :)

Yeah - I had the same thing happen earlier in the year and now again. It is hard to tell if these are truly government mandates taxes, or since I have "locked in" pricing on my phone and internet if these are other ways to raise the cost. Back in April or May I had a 50 cent increase on my...

It won't show up until March. I think I have subscribed to it in the past around March 15.

Exactly - it is there once you are a subscriber. But it isn't being advertised or visible to a new user. You have to wonder if it is going to go the way of the Welcome Pack, Smart Pack, Family Pack, Dish America, Dish Silver, and Dish Gold. All those used to be available to new subscribers...

I found this interesting - I went to Dish.com in an incongito window and pretended to create an order. I can no longer add the Flex Pack to a new order. It is not advertised on the main page anymore, when you create an order, you only have the AT120, 120+, 200, 250. It used to be that the...

I am wondering if CNN is no longer included in the Flex Pack for new subscribers, but those who already have it still get to keep it. Looking at the PDF of the programming guide that was updated on 1/20, CNN is no longer part of the Flex Pack. However, the 1/1 channel lineup has CNN in Flex...

I don't see the broadcasters request for DRM in either article. Was it mentioned in another way other than using the word DRM and I missed it?

Yeah, it is closer to $10 or $11. When YouTubeTV lost ESPN as well as all the Disney channels, they offered a $20 refund. In essence half of that was ESPN.

Thanks for sharing - yeah the website showed CNN on Flex Pack a couple of days ago, but now it is not showing. Guess the website does have a mistake. https://my.dish.com/station/cnn
