    Terrible call to DiSH

    Gotta disagree. Mostly, you are certainly right. But sometimes the money and effort are put in to the up conversion. Thankfully, I am now CRT free. Got rid of my last 27” and 32” with a deal for help from others. They DID have superb SD pictures. Hated to say goodbye.

    Terrible call to DiSH

    Depends upon how much effort they put into up converting. Also, the TV. I watched a bit of Father Goose on my 2005ish Samsung 55”er. Then on my 2018 Sony 65”er. Watchable on both. Better on Sony.

    Looks like Netflix/Warner Bros. is happening.

    Letting Netflix buy a major competitor in a narrow field? Leaving only Disney as major competition? Not seeing Amazon as major competition. Yet, anyway.

    OTA has bit the Dust

    My FiOS has a land line function. They charge for it, and then credit off the cost. So I might as well keep it. Handy for providing a phone number to folks you don’t want calling your cell.

    Anyone else with issues yesterday?

    You mean the voice one they sent me and I never use? Not even sure where I stashed it. Found a 54 where I thought it was. Don’t use that one either. I have a Harmony.

    Hopper Plus & Joey 4 Install Question

    I had an owned Joey 1 (original, made of molasses). With the H3 I wanted to get a (then latest) J3. CSR refused. I said you are replacing owned equipment. She didn’t care. The most unpleasant conversation I ever had with a Dish CSR. Got no J3, certainly not owned. And they TOOK THE OWNED J1...

    Anyone else with issues yesterday?

    I was quite happy with my ViP722 boxes. Came to appreciate the HWSes that replaced them. Then I got the Hopper 3! Very happy with it. Pretty much the only reason I stay with Dish is the greatness of the H3 and the remaining recordings on it. Lost almost all EHD recordings.

    Anyone else with issues yesterday?

    I’ve got every Dish remote I ever had, back to the 301s. Wasting space.

    OTA has bit the Dust

    If you mean, can the H3 record from the Zapperbox - no. Dish STBs only record from the satellite input, and “approved” USB OTA tuners.

    Think about how you would feed an HD signal to the second TV. HDMI everywhere?

    Joey 4.0 Upgrade Request

    Last guy in my home tried to get me to buy their sound bar, even after I pointed out my 7.1 system. How can someone that clueless hold down an installation job?
