You've been quiet this week.

118 was essentially what Primestar was, a medium powered satellite that required a larger dish and different LNB than what DirecTV and Dish had when they launched with 18" antennas and high powered satellites at 101 and 119 that used the smaller and more modern LNBs. Dish was just cobbling...

Makes sense to offer a hotspot, odd it's 4G when I would expect them to use their 5G spectrum.

No, this is what the TV 2 modulator setup screen looks like.

The OTA tuners in these weren't the most sensitive, so don't be surprised if it picks up a lot less channels than your TV's tuner. If you're far from the towers and using an indoor antenna, that's common.

Do you have an OTA antenna connected? You can just do a scan to add channels, that's to add a channel manually.

I think all this goes back to it's former roots as a superstation, WGN.

Change it to solo mode.

So is mine, I'm 12 miles from the mountain all the towers are on so it has no problem pulling everything in. I'm too far from Tucson (next closest market) to play with any DXing so in the attic it went!

Most installs there was never a good place to mount them, plus too much wiring it was tough to keep things looking neat. Most installs I zip tied them to the back of the dish. Then the customer would unplug the inserter and wonder why the system went down. Also couldn't work on the system with...

Man I hated those switches and power inserters.

Everyone has a different use case and I agree Dish is the best value of all the traditional providers. I've stayed with them because I am able to avoid retrans fees (no other provider lets you pick locals a la carte) and avoid DVR and equipment fees (I have an owned Wally). Couple that with the...

Totally understand, I'm probably going to be cancelling Dish when my $30/mo credits expire in 3 months too, nothing wrong with the service just the sad lack of content on cable and OTA TV. YouTube and Pluto are really all I need.

Little demand and few retailers left, and Dish may not even allow retailers to sell equipment. In Dish's eyes there is no reason for consumers to purchase equipment other than their RV program.

When they were launching the new UI with the iTV apps, they made fun of that padlock in the guide on one of the Charlie Chats. Can't remember if it was Jim or Charlie that said the padlock now looks like a lock.

I remember installing quite a few 811s back in the day, I think it was a free upgrade on DHA with a monthly fee of like $9.99 for HD (iirc). I don't remember it being worth it especially for some of the cheap trash 32" LCDs flooding the market at the time.

15 years ago you couldn't give a CRT away, now they're collectable!

A "classic" option in the preferences menu would be pretty cool.

Even on the Charlie Chats they made fun of the padlock shown in the guide :biggrin

Personally I like the latest carbon UI, it looks clean and modern. How about this classic?

Seriously? This is why a lot of people are frustrated with you. You just started one the other day about your room setup. You're not helping your credibility here.

They aren't relevant to what is going on with Dish Network and the satellite industry today. If you want to start one thread and link to these old threads and ask questions about the history of Dish, you'd get a much more positive response. We would love to share our knowledge with you but in a...

All we asked is that you don't reply to threads older than you are.

They can be split into different businesses. Dish doesn't need the 5G network to operate as a satellite TV provider. Satellite internet could go to someone else, set top box manufacturing somewhere else, etc. They'll all continue on but potentially under different ownership. The creditors will...

They can't declare bk and keep all the assets, the business will look dramatically different after the restructuring.
