    I have finally cancelled Dish after 26 years!

    If you consider $10 to be a lot of money then you are correct. If you consider the Hopper 3 to be the best DVR, it is worth $10.

    I have finally cancelled Dish after 26 years!

    Unlike most of you on this thread, I will be staying with Dish. In spite of what Bruce may say, it is the best value for me. I want sports (ESPN and ABC, FOX, CBS including CBS Sportsnet, NBC not just OTA, Turner), Turner Classic Movies (the original not the neutered version on Max), History...

    New Tag Missing on Topics in Forums

    Starting this week the New Tag is missing on topics inside the forums. The tag is on the forum listing but not on each topic. This situation is frustrating because I don't know what I have already read without checking each of the topics.

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    I guess politics "trumps" business and legal operations.

    My rate just went through the roof!

    That is the number I used in January. Went straight to Loyalty.

    My rate just went through the roof!

    Customer of about 25 years. AT200, Hopper 3, Joey - $100/month for 2 years. Equivalent to YTTV except for the luxury of having the Hopper. Hardware is much better than streaming IMHO. Got it by calling the retention number.

    Drama and Classics Pack?

    Laff OTA in Birmingham is 16x9. If I had guide info I might actually use OTA feeds on my Hopper ;)

    Drama and Classics Pack?

    With a Hopper, the picture can be expanded easily. I mapped my double diamond button to allow me to stretch or zoom as needed. Takes all of 5 seconds. Also with Hopper FMC can be recorded.

    Dish/Echostar 1st Quarter Report

    While what you say is true, they had a lot of cable subscribers, video and internet, and sold a package that was extremely cheap. This cheap package relied on their inherent internet for operation. I looked into it (had Spectrum at the time) and decided it was not feasible for anyone who used...

    ESPN actively planning to offer linear feed directly to consumers, has deals with two leagues

    You make a valid point but that same argument could be made for most channels that are distributed via MVPD.

    ESPN actively planning to offer linear feed directly to consumers, has deals with two leagues

    The key here is that Warner owns the rights to a vast amount of movies. Personally I love old movies especially those with no commercials. Over the Memorial Day weekend I recorded a lot of war movies from TCM & FMC. The majority were from TCM. Those from FMC were loaded with commercials...

    ESPN actively planning to offer linear feed directly to consumers, has deals with two leagues

    "It does not have the entire TCM library but there is a lot there." The fact that it is a subset of TCM indicates that it is not the true TCM - at least to me and my money.

    ESPN actively planning to offer linear feed directly to consumers, has deals with two leagues

    Yea that article is about two years old. I believe you will find that several people have come to the rescue of TCM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turner_Classic_Movies Under Corporate restructuring (2019–present) you can find more current information.

    Not true...At least give supporting info to back up your statements. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

    And you base this statement on what? I doubt you have any facts to support it. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

    ESPN actively planning to offer linear feed directly to consumers, has deals with two leagues

    Doesn't it depend on your tastes? For complete sports coverage like I have with Dish, I would need ESPN, Fox, Turner, and CBS. A few of these services have a few events that are available OTA but obviously not all. Then if I want TCM I've got to go to some service that provides it. Unlike...

    Why?

    Actually the credo is "Make Money" at anyone's expense (including employees).

    Why?

    May I point out that traditional landline is a subset of landline. Traditional landline is copper based. Landline includes not only that but also VOIP. It could turn out that both of you have a sense of correctness in your posts. FWIW - I have both a copper based landline and a VOIP landline...

    What dish network satellites are shut down.

    Dish equipment wouldn't fit in FTA.

    Satellite Channels Moving to Streaming Only

    Wow - and to think that I used my VCR for years to record shows from cable tv. I don't think I ever used it to record OTA.
