    Space X to Merge with EchoStar?

    I think for Charlie in someways the journey to getting to be a billionaire and making DISH what it is today, was what he enjoyed. Remember the Charlie Chats and adding all the locals around the country? Now that he has reached that goal and he is 72, he might consider giving the company up...

    Guide differences

    My Next Gen Tablo did the same thing. I like it, but would prefer that we could still set the guides to what we prefer. Instead of their preset choices.

    Space X to Merge with EchoStar?

    So now Elon might end up owning Echostar, which also owns DISH and SLING TV and Boost Too? I guess Charlie is looking for the golden parachute to finally retire. :rolleyes:

    Stranger Things 2, 3 & 4 & Five

    I wonder if we have to watch the finale while intoxicated, since we are having it come out on New Year's Eve?🍾🥂

    Sling TV President Takes Over Dish TV, Overseeing Both Businesses - September 21, 2023

    I started reading it and forgot it wasn't today's posts. Then I looked at the year and stopped.

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    "Mammories like the corners of my mind."..🎶 .

    Looks like Netflix/Warner Bros. is happening. (or maybe not.)

    Soon there will be 4 companies owning everything and you will have sub to all of them to get all the content you want and your back to cable all over again. :smug

    OTA has bit the Dust

    Like I said before, they should of come out with this unit about 5 years ago and it might of helped customers stay longer. But the way things are going with streaming, this unit may not be needed much longer. I just love the way you can watch your satellite locals and cable channels and...

    OTA has bit the Dust

    Can't compare since he has the older Hopper with sling instead of Hopper 3, but I bet it is faster. I notice one thing that makes a difference that he pointed out to me. He uses an ethernet cord directly to the Hopper instead of wireless. He said it makes it more stable and it doesn't lose...

    OTA has bit the Dust

    My buddy recently got the Plus unit added to his old hopper with sling and two Joey 4s replaced his Joey 3s and I saw it at Thanksgiving when I went to his house to visit. It is cool. It outputs the upconverted 4k picture on everything and even does real 4k if something is in it, and you...

    OTA has bit the Dust

    I got rid of my land line about 15 years ago. It simply doesn't make sense to have one since all that calls me on it was people trying to sell you crap or scam you. We just use our cell phones for everything.

    OTA has bit the Dust

    I do remember the 722k had an external ota tuner that you could add to it to give you ota recording. It slid in the back of the receiver and you screwed it in. I guess they figured it was cheaper to do the USB tuner instead. Although I have to say I have had quite a lot of those tuners go...

    Stranger things have happened. ;)

    Terrible call to DiSH

    So another $7.00 fee, when you didn't need it with a 722 or 722k.

    Disney announces price increases to streaming products

    I signed up for that last night because the wife wants to watch some show on it. Much cheaper then what they normally charge and good for a year.

    Terrible call to DiSH

    But you know that Hopper 2 is what we all call it when we are referencing the sequence of hoppers from Hopper 1 to Hopper 3. I don't refer to it as the Hopper with Sling, unless you are looking back on all information about the model when it first came out. :smug

    Terrible call to DiSH

    Sounds like copyright infringement issues here. The hopper 2 has been around longer then the space ship with the same name. :smug

    Cowgirl Channel Shutdown?

    Well there is a reverse Cowgirl position, that my wife was fond of back in the day when we were first married. ;)

    OTA has bit the Dust

    Wow, I never paid that shipping cost before. Must of changed something on their side.

    OTA has bit the Dust

    www.solidsignal.com Has dual ota tuners for usb connection to receiver and they are selling it for $30.99. Just search their site with "DUAL & USB" and it is the first thing that pops up.

    buying from dish

    ...fact as "tapeless recording" for NO fee unlike Directv, which did charge a fee. I remember Charlie talking about it on his Charlie Chat back then. *Might be a Southern thing, because I never lease cars either. I have to own them. Trade them in towards credit towards the new car I am buying.
