    Founder’s Message + Wireless Offer

    As a loyal Dish Customer for 24 years 7 months I enjoyed watching Charlie Ergan, Candy Ergan, and Jim DeFranco give the history of Dish. It makes me appreciate the risks and the hard work that they did to establish Dish network. I recently renegotiated a two year price lock. I downgraded from...

    Alexa used to control my Dish Hopper 3 receivers. When I tried this afternoon Alexa told me my skill needed to be reactivated. I searched for Dish under Alexa skills and received the following message “This skill no longer exists” What happened? I used that skill all the time to control my...

    Guide incorrect for NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas

    Failed to record NBC Nightly News tonight. The recording was skipped since it has the date 6/2/25 and of course thinks it is not a new episode. Furthermore Wed, Thurs, and Friday will all be skipped since they all show the date as 6/2/25. I called Dish technical support so that they could...

    NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas

    Unfortunately I failed to record NBC Nightly News tonight. With Lester Holt retiring from the broadcast NBC changed the program name to NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas. I have now changed the timer. I will miss Lester Holt. I thought he did a great job covering the news in an unbiased manner...

    Text TV to 39179

    I saw a commercial today on my local ABC channel 6 in Columbus, Ohio. The commercial was urging people to Text TV to 39179 to tell Washington to modernize decade old regulations that cause big Tech to make the local stations disappear. Have others seen this commercial and what specifically are...

    OSU Michigan State game 9/28/24 only on Peacock

    I am very disappointed that the Ohio State Michigan State football game on Saturday September 28th is only available on the Peacock streaming service. You would think that the Big Ten Network would broadcast the game but Peacock wants the money. Plus Peacock does not even offer a free trial...

    Dish shows 6 4K HDR channels in the guide

    I noticed that Dish now has 6 4K HDR channels in their Guide (540-01 through 540-06). I am surprised since Dish doesn’t show much 4K HDR content. I wonder what content Dish is planning to show that requires them to have 6 channels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Argentina Morocco Olympic Soccer

    This game was unusual. Morocco was leading initially 2 to 0. Argentina made a goal to make the score 2 to 1. At what we thought was the last moment of normal play Argentina made a goal to tie the game 2 to 2. The crowds erupted and started throwing bottles on the field. Officials suspended the...

    Dish Olympic Coverage

    With 15 days until the start of the Olympics I am surprised that Dish has not announced their coverage. I would expect 4K HDR coverage on channel 540 and an app showing the coverage on each channel. I know that NBC has the rights to the Olympics but I hope that Dish will broadcast events in 4K...
