    How things have changed

    Stupid Tax is what we call it. The poorest people seem to pay that tax over and over down here in Texas. :rolleyes:

    I have finally cancelled Dish after 26 years!

    I had it on the roof on the old DISH satellite stand , but after they had their 18 year old roof redone, they don't want anything on the roof again. So the only other option is the attic. Till then they have You tube TV for locals. I offered to have it installed on the eave on a pole but...

    I have finally cancelled Dish after 26 years!

    I wanted to try the new Next gen 4 tuner Tablo, since I had the old legacy 4 tuner Tablo and it is a very big improvement and the picture quality is much improved on the Next Gen. No compression like with the legacy Tablo. I got the next gen Tablo on my birthday last year from my wife. I...

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    Sounds to me like nothing has changed. Carr of the FCC wants Charlie's spectrum to sell to others. NO matter how much Charlie talked to Trump and Carr that day in the White House. I have a feeling that Charlie will pull the bankruptcy trigger if Carr doesn't back off. Might be the only way...

    I have finally cancelled Dish after 26 years!

    Congratulations! You lasted one year longer than I did. I started in January of 1997 and cut the cord at the end of January 2022. Now the real battle begins trying to keep the streaming costs down. But you have the ota networks covered using Tablo. I have the Next gen 4 tuner Tablo...

    OTA CBS channel thinks it's FOX in Indy

    But use Air TV for ota channels and you will get all the correct guide data for all channels. I get guide data for every sub channel that I can't even get with my Tablo ota dvr. Funny, since Sling TV with Air Tv and DISH are all under the same company : Echostar. Why can't they use...

    Traditional/Streaming Live TV Providers Losses, 1st Quarter 2025 Edition

    Too bad. I have Sling TV and love the $5.00 unlimited DVR. I can even just keep the dvr feature and drop regular programming and still have hundreds of movies and shows to record. Most of what we watch is network TV and I can record those over my Air tv anywhere 4 tuner ota dvr or my...

    Dish Change Question

    I bought all of my receivers after the original 2 from Dish depot. He was great to work with and trade in my old receivers for credit towards a new one. I never wanted to rent the receivers. I also got my new satellite dishes/lnbs/switches from him. But he saw the writing on the wall and...

    Paradise - Hulu

    I liked the whole show and the finale. Just wondering if they will be back in another season, since this sets it up for him going to the real world and leaving the fake town. The actress playing Sinatra is also the one who played on Hacks on HBO Max series. She is called "Dance Mom" and she...

    Traditional/Streaming Live TV Providers Losses, 1st Quarter 2025 Edition

    I've been saying that for YEARS. I even suggested DISH stop charging for the additional receivers like the Joeys. Could also do the same with the Hopper. Pay it off and you own it. No more DVR fees. Just let them customer pay the fee long enough till the receiver is paid off, then they...

    Switch From Satellite To Streaming

    This procedure reminds me of a SNL skit they did years ago in the 90s with Phil Hartman on the Dating game and Jason Priestly was the contestant going on the date from 90210 show. Jason asked Phil what would their date be like ? Now Phil was dressed in a German school girl outfit like...

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    I have said before that Sling TV and DISH TV are under the same company. They could provide the satellite locals by streaming them to Sling customers and make the option to have them for the price that DISH charges. I have seen other streaming apps make premium channels available using their...

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    Well at 82 you usually aren't to picky about your channels anymore. My mom 83 and dad 85 just have it on to watch one or two channels and the news. It stays on more to have noise in the house.

    Team Summit 2025 Announcements

    I like that idea. I had my diamond set for captions. I would of changed my double diamond to aspect ratios if I still had DISH. It would come in handy on SD channels that have black bars. I hate black bars.

    Resident Alien on SyFy/USA

    I like to record them till they are through and then watch them when I am ready. I can finish off the season in a week during the summer.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    I am seeing why I am watching less network TV now. I hate reality TV and Game shows. I lean towards scripted drama and comedy. Good thing we have streaming to fall back on for other things to watch.

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    Sling needs to be revamped and make it the Streaming version of DISH and keep the DISH interface, guides, etc and sell them at the Sling TV lower priced packs. You could then add the locals if you wanted to at the price they charge if you wanted them, using this interface or still use your...
