    Old ui looked cleaner to me

    He's looking for old PRIMESTAR sat dishes now, since you mentioned them. :biggrin My old Primestar sat dish pole from 95 was what I used for my first DISH satellite install and it lasted me till 2005 after Hurricane Rita came through and crushed the DISH 500 satellite dish into a C shape and...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    What do you know that we don't know? I am curious how that would potentially work. Considering he is going to do a reorganization Bankruptcy that should wipe out most of his debt. So he would be a good risk for more debt to buy Directv after the Bankruptcy?

    Drama and Classics Pack?

    Good Idea for another pack to add for $6.00 a month. Add to Flex pack to save money and get more of what you want.

    Dish/Echostar 1st Quarter Report

    I think that Boost has the history of being a pre-paid phone company you have to keep paying on like a track phone for extra minutes etc. Now if they advertised a good cell phone plan like T mobile and other cell phone companies do , they might actually grow their company. Also I see you can...

    Dish/Echostar 1st Quarter Report

    But would Charlie want to sell off Boost and it's subscribers after all the money he sank into building the damn network for his cell phone company? IF he wants to get out of all debt and do that , wouldn't he be back where he started with just DISH satellite and Echostar? I don't see...

    Dish/Echostar 1st Quarter Report

    Looks like the only way out of DISH's mess is to go bankrupt and reorganize their debt. But the FCC might not let him continue to hoard all the spectrum he has that he is not using. He might have to sell it off to pay some of his debts or to keep Boost in business? As the Echostar World...

    How to keep ANTS out of my satellite dishes

    I actually live across the field from the Prison in the mobile home park. I can see the prison lights at night from my bathroom window in the distance. IF you are outside you can hear the Count time fog horn and when the count clears. At night they count like 4 times every hour and a half...
