So...they got $23 billion from AT&T and now $17 billion for a total of $40 billion? So they go from $30 billion in debt, to $7 billion in debt after the AT&T deal, to now a surplus of $10 billion? I know this is an oversimplification, but is that the general idea?

Wow!!!!

Wow! That makes Dish's $5 increase seem small. And there isn't any mention of the RSN fee going up as well. I think I read somewhere that the RSN fee was going to be going up in some places.

I only have one VIP211k with an external drive right now - but I have tried multiple hard drives each with the same result. I have noticed what you have said - sometimes I only lose recordings that are more than 60 days off, sometimes I lose them all. But this was the first time I was able to...

So...here is what happened. VIP211k. I had a recording from 7/1/2025, channel 133. An episode of Two and a Half Men. I subscribe to the channel, and have the entire time. I tried the recording last night, and it played with no problem. Since I was home today on Labor Day, I tried an...

I was gone last week, so I didn't have a chance to update the listings. But last week, here are the changes Dish made to the Western Arc, at least that I could see. I am not sure what they were trying to accomplish with this...nothing jumped out to me. It made more sense previously when they...

Just curious if anyone who has had this issue with a VIP211k goes to an older recording today and it no longer works... I tried an experiment and a very interesting result occurred.

Yeah - the last big one that I can recall was Oct, 1, 2022 when they lost the ESPN and Disney channels for a couple of days, and after missing one weekend of football, they came back quickly. I think it wasn't even 3 days and they were back. Part of me wishes it was a 3 year contract so it...

I am trying to decide for myself as well. I have a 2nd generation iPhone SE that I bought in May 2020. It has a cracked screen and after almost 5 1/2 years, the battery life isn't what it should be. I am not a heavy new feature person, so part of me wonders if it makes more sense for me to...

Today's uplink restored Chicago's NBC OTA EPG back to the satellite channel. But other than that, nothing else has changed.

This is surprising to me. I know that there is a limit of number of stations a single entity can own. Didn't Nexstar or Sinclair or someone need to change a merger to stay under the threshold? I do note in the article that there is a 39% rule that looks it would be going away? Very...

I just checked MeTV's website, and it does list it on 247 as a streaming only option in AT120 and higher on Dish.

Sure enough! MeTV's website confirms that it is available in the AT120 and higher package as a streaming only option on 247.

Thanks - I checked a couple of times and didn't see it. Thanks for confirming it is in the rotation.

Curious if anyone has watched 198 - the one that rotates through the previous summer Dish Scapes. I have watched it a couple of times, but have not seen the Amusement Park one from August 2022 come on. That was one of my favorite. It is advertised on the DishScapes page...

Here in Illinois, the law requires TV providers to let consumers know within 30 days that their prices are going to increase, and Dish did that today...changes are in effect 9/11/2025. All packages are going up $5. Locals are staying the same - for now. There is a specific note from Dish that...

Thank you - I figured it is a Chicago issue, this is good to hear that it isn't a national issue.

For any of you that are able to watch this channel OTA, how is the audio? Here in Chicago, the audio is extremely quiet compared to the other channels. Wondering if this is a Chicago affiliate issue, or if it is national.

Yeah - the streaming service does lose leverage. I know that contracts prohibit it, but I wish that if there is a direct to consumer option, that it should be an add-on for some packages. Maybe your highest level packages contain it all, but there has to be a lower priced entry package. As I...

I love MeTV Toons - and this is big news from my childhood - the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the 1980's is coming to MeTV Toons! https://cordcuttersnews.com/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-coming-to-metv-toons/

And that is where I like that Peacock is supposed to be creating a new, lower priced package, that doesn't contain the sports - trying to hit the most people as possible. I don't currently see it on the Peacock site, but I know it was talked about.

I am in the same boat - I have done the $20 Black Friday deal for the past 2 years. It will get me through the heart of Big10 football season. If there isn't something similar, I won't renew and I will miss out on the Peacock exclusive game the weekend after Christmas. I have NFL+ so I will...

I agree with you - with the deal not starting until 2026, other providers have opportunities to renew contracts that would include it. Doesn't Dish's contract with ESPN/Disney expire this fall? If it does, then my guess is that the new contract with ESPN/Disney would include it.

I was one of those 6.9 million viewers - but I only watched the 1st quarter. For me, after a summer of not watching a ton of sports, it was good to see football back on the TV. I caught some track and field, golf, and the Tour de France, but it isn't the same thing as seeing football on the...

Yeah - if your TV service has Marquee, you can link your TV account to Marquee's app so you can stream it on the app or your smart TV without paying the separate DTC cost. It isn't an option with Dish/Sling as they do not offer Marquee.
