    The History Channel guide data curse rides again!

    Friday's episode of "Secrets Declassified with David Duchovny" isn't being picked up by New timers because it has last Friday's date on it. Come on guys, pull your heads out, we're only two episodes in to the series!

    Can you change the four channels shown on News Multiview 201?

    AFAIK it's not assembled on the fly, there's actually a channel transmitted that looks like that. If you have an H3, you should be able to make up your own selection in sports bar mode (I would think; I don't have an H3.)

    whoever enters guide data for The History Channel is incompetent

    Yes, I know Dish buys the data from somewhere else, but you'd think they'd have an interest in making sure that it's correct. A few weeks ago, there was a period when new episodes of The Curse of Oak Island were being missed because they had the wrong original air date attached. (It wasn't...

    has anyone tried to update their payment information lately?

    I tried to update my credit card expiration date today and I got a message that the payment couldn't be processed at this time and I should try later or call them. I tried a few more times, same response. So I decided to try to set it up for direct withdrawal from my bank account instead, and...

    HDNet Movies - commercials and censoring

    If everyone jumped off a bridge, would HDNET jump off a bridge? (And I see they didn't even bother to address the censorship issue.)

    Primetime Anytime enables itself

    PTAT would get in the way if you wanted to record three things simultaneously and none of them were covered by it. Related question: does auto-hop require PTAT? For some reason I thought it did, but I have PTAT off (unless it's turned itself on) and just the other day I got a popup asking me...

    Hopper 382

    Yes, I never use the home screen. But I don't get why everything has to look like everything else these days. Why does MacOS have to look like iOS? Why does Android have to look like iOS? Why does Windows have to look like a mobile OS? Why does Linux, of all things, have to look like a...

    Hopper 382

    Yeah, I thought it looked like a streaming box. I'm not a fan. (But I wasn't even a fan of the Carbon UI either.)

    mydish App Log In Issue

    I tried to use Dish Anywhere today for the first time in quite a while, and I couldn't remember my username, which is apparently separate from my Dish account username. So I hit the option to have them send a code to my email. By the time it arrived, the window for using it had expired. And...

    Dish Olympic Coverage

    Handball? I don't really think it's played much in the U.S.

    Dish Olympic Coverage

    It was the version with ads.

    Dish Olympic Coverage

    Tennis is also getting screwed this year, only the last two days are being aired outside of Peacock. To further emphasize their anti-viewer stance, they recently removed Peacock as a free service for Comcast Internet subscribers.

    Why does dish network down convert some channels to SD?

    What aspect ratio do they present them in? PBS itself transmits the national feeds of its SD channels (Create, World, and First Nations Experience) in widescreen. With adequate bandwidth to make them look good, of course.

    Cable And Satellite Providers Required To Disclose “All In” Pricing Under Newly Passed FCC Rules

    If people think that the parking fee makes moral or logical sense, then that's the problem right there! (If you're worried about non-patrons using the parking spots, make them show a ticket to get into the lot. It's not rocket science. But then again, apparently rocket science isn't even...

    Cable And Satellite Providers Required To Disclose “All In” Pricing Under Newly Passed FCC Rules

    You were supposed to be able to do it, by federal law. But I don't think there were a lot of options for receivers ever made, and I don't know if any cable company was ever penalized for not complying. But at least they tried. I don't know if the law is still in effect (I have a feeling that...

    Cable And Satellite Providers Required To Disclose “All In” Pricing Under Newly Passed FCC Rules

    I said a long time ago that they should've been held to the same standard as cable: you could buy your own receiver and get a card from the programing provider.

    anybody else having audio dropouts on AXS TV?

    Mark just sold his basketball team, so hopefully he has the time and money to take care of his TV channel if that's really where the problem is coming from.

    anybody else having audio dropouts on AXS TV?

    I emailed the old address that used to get stuff like this fixed, even though people have said it doesn't work anymore. It didn't bounce, but nobody answered it either.

    Republic Wireless shutting down as Dish moves customers over to Boost Infinite

    The bring-your-own-phone pages say that hotspot is available as an add-on. They don't say how much it costs.

    anybody else having audio dropouts on AXS TV?

    It's been happening for a few weeks, and seems to be getting worse. I know my dish alignment isn't fantastic, but there are no breakups on any other channels, and more to the point, there's no break whatsoever in the video, just the audio.

    H365 has arrived

    I have something very similar to this on my Hopper 2 on H264: does HWS H264 have a bug with watching a recording in progress? I think it's updated to H265 since then, but I haven't been brave enough to test it. And tonight I had an absolutely ridiculous glitch. I started watching Andrew...

    H264 in Hopper/Sling erases settings

    No such issues here, just the watching-a-recording-in-progress issue I posted about.

    how much would it cost to get this disgusting pole mount fixed?

    If I'm not mistaken, there's no flex pack that has MTV Classic, which is the only MTV channel we watch. The package lineups would seem to be deliberately designed to be useless if one wants anything other than the most insipid basic channels.
