    Dish Price Increase Coming - 11/16/2021

    I put Dish into “pause” for 9 months. With Roku and nearly 40 usable OTA channels, I dont need Dish until next years college football season.

    2 year agreement ran out

    Dish “pause” is a wonderful thing. I just paused it until next September.

    How local TV stations plan to remain relevant as viewers shift to streaming

    History Channel relies at lot on reruns of its own material, for example. Scripps just bought a LOT of it for OTA broadcast over their new DefyTV diginet. With MeTV, Buzzr, H&I, etc, etc...a good chunk of cable and satellite’s filler programs are now OTA. That is hitting their bottom line hard...

    Attic Antenna Recommendation

    Yes. The small rectangular element near the back reflectors is the high vhf element. It will receive high VHF but the station has to be close and powerful from my experience. I have a high VHF on RF7 in Detroit that I use an old special high VHF antenna to receive and run it thru a combiner...

    How local TV stations plan to remain relevant as viewers shift to streaming

    Scripps is going to make a big dent in cable and satellite with their new diginets like Doozy and Defy TV and bringing Newsy to OTA. I think their gamble is going to pay off. I already get about 35 usable channels OTA already from the Detroit and Toledo DMA’s. I now get internet only from...

    It does have one, just not that great.

    Recent cancel experience.

    Pause works for me. $5 a month isn’t much and I’ll finish up my contract later this year when I reinstate service for 4 months. Then right back into pause I go. If dish messes around with pause, then I will outright cancel.

    Dish has to change. Start by telling programmers the truth. You are losing subscrivers in droves because of high priced channel bundling. EW Scripps is taking direct aim at you with their OTA push.

    OAN Plus and Newsy to launch as subchannels

    Newsy will go the furthest and fastest with the extensive OTA reach of Scripps. Scripps is going all in on OTA for cord cutters. Smart move, IMO.

    Ion Plus and Qubo to shut down

    Sounds like Scripps has a plan to get to 80 pct.

    Ion Plus and Qubo to shut down

    Just curious...what channels would a deactivated VIP211k be able to view?

    It’s almost as if they turned pause into a package, crodrules. You have to be on the $5 a month pause to get it.

    How to get better deal with dish? Contract Expired

    In suburban areas like mine, digital subchannels are definitely eating into cable and satellite TV. OTA and streaming in some sort of mix is gaining ground.

    Meredith announced they put TV Stations for sale

    I can see them buying WNEM in Michigan. It already carries ION on a subchannel.

    How to get better deal with dish? Contract Expired

    I went on Dish pause for 6 months. I have 3 months left on contract. I hardly watch TV anymore and have about 30 useful OTA channels, many of which are in AT120 and up. I will come off pause for the college football season, satisfy my contract term and go right back on pause for 6-9 months...

    Meredith announced they put TV Stations for sale

    I bet Scripps takes a good look at buying them. Good opportunity to spread their reach for the Katz subchannels.

    Just curious...what channels would a deactivated VIP211k be able to view?

    I went on Dish Pause for the next 5 months. The list you mentioned above is what you receive while on pause. Of course the free previews will vary.

    2021 Dish Prices

    No big rush or deal. I’ll just run AT120 plus from september to january, if I don’t find another service i like. I get about 30 usable channels OTA in the Detroit area. More than enough for my limited summer viewing.

    2021 Dish Prices

    I am probably going to put my subscription on pause until September. Start it back up for college football for 4 months then go right back on pause. Its getting too expensive to just let it run year round.

    Ion Plus and Qubo to shut down

    TBD is a perfect monument to the banality that is Sinclair.

    Ion Plus and Qubo to shut down

    Keep in mind you may have duplicates of CourtTV, Mystery, Laff, Bounce and GRIT due to contractual obligations with non-Scripps stations. Once those contracts end, the subchannels will disappear.

    Ion Plus and Qubo to shut down

    In Detroit, CourtTV, CourtTVMystery and GRIT are moving to WPXD virtual channels 31.2, 31.3 and 31.4 WPXD is a station under INYO management.
