    BBC News Moving to Streaming Only

    I see that Dish has put up channel 280, the warning that in a couple of weeks that BBC News is moving to streaming only. Same setup as we had with Pursuit a couple of weeks ago. https://my.dish.com/bbcnews

    Pursuit Channel Change

    I have been out of town for the past 10 days, just got back yesterday, and have been out of the loop. So sorry if this has been mentioned already. I see there is a slate on channel 389 that you will need a Hopper to view the channel starting on 2/7/24. Seems like the channel is going to be...

    New Satellite Tax in Illinois?

    Is there anyone in Illinois who has received their first bill for 2024? I just received an email for my January 6 to Feb 6 2024 bill and noticed that Dish has a new sales tax line item that was never on there before. (I pulled up my previous 4 bills just to make sure I wasn't crazy!) I am not...

    Dish System Setup Question

    General Dish setup question. I have two VIP211k's on my Dish setup. I have two coax cables coming from the LNBF, one coax goes to the first VIP211k, the second coax goes to the 2nd VIP211k. So in essence, the VIP211k's are directly connected to the LNBF. There are no switches or splitters or...

    110/119 Listings Post 129 Transition (Updated 4/13/2024)

    Over the past year I have been tracking the changes on Western Arc. The past 3 months have had a lot of changes that I posted in the other MPEG2 Western Arc shutdown thread. Now that 129 is (basically) out of commission, here is where Western Arc stands. This is just a national channel list, (no...

    RSN Changes

    I found this article interesting: https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Journal/Issues/2023/07/10/Insiders/sports-media.aspx Basically, Charter is going to be putting RSN's in another tier - $10 more to get the RSN's in a package - as a way to slow down cord-cutting. Only going to be...

    Repointing Dish after 129 Shuts Down

    I am curious...I feel like when I put up my Dish I had to sacrifice some of the signal strength on 110 and 119 in order to get 129 up around 50. Do others who install Dish's for a living have to do something like that - sacrifice some strength on 110/119 to get 129 up? I feel like it was...

    Outdoor Pack?

    I was looking at the Dish website, and I noticed that they list channel 390 as being in HD now. Has Outside TV be added in HD over the past couple of weeks since it went out of free preview? Last time it was in free preview it wasn't in HD. Curious if anyone is subscribed to the pack and gets...

    Uplink Issues????

    I know we haven't posted a lot of uplinks recently, but I noticed that something changed here in Chicago at some point today (3/27/2023). I noticed this afternoon that there were a lot of "No Info Available" for my OTA subchannels that normally have an EPG or at least say Digital Service. When...

    NFL Network Issue?

    Is anyone else having trouble with NFL Network on channel 154? I am on Western Arc. The channel seems to be just a black screen. My other HD channels are working without a problem.

    Dish Network Login

    Does anyone else on the forum use T-Mobile 5g Home internet as their ISP? I switched over to it last month and really like it. But I have noticed some quirkiness with it over the last couple of days, and one of the things is I can't login to mydish account. It allows me to login and I can see...

    Streaming Totals?

    T-Mobile home internet just became available in my area I have recently purchased it, and I absolutely love it! The speed is so much faster than my 25/3 AT&T connection with 1TB data cap. Currently the only device using the T-Mobile internet is the Smart TV and my laptop. Yesterday I streamed...

    PAC-12 Network Suing Dish

    https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/10/11/playing-hardball-pac-12-network-takes-dish-to-court-claims-breach-of-contract/ I am surprised that Dish still has PAC-12 Network if they haven't been paying their bills...wouldn't the PAC-12 pull their channels from Dish if they weren't being paid?

    NFL RedZone

    I see that today is an NFL RedZone free preview. However, it looks like the HD version is not mapped down to 155. The SD version appears to be the only thing there. But the HD version is available on 9467. Curious if anyone else sees the HD channel on 155 (who doesn't have multi-sport pack)...

    VIP211k update?

    Was there a VIP211k update? I noticed that when I pause live TV, it used to be that I could pause for up to an hour, and the bar would fill from right to left. Today, I noticed that I can only pause for 15 minutes, and the bar fills from left to right. Curious if I changed a setting or if...

    PAC12 Network Video Issue?

    I flipped on PAC12 Network and it looks like some of the programming is set up to "stretch" or "zoom" or something off. Is this a PAC12 Network issue overall or a Dish issue? I checked on the Dish Anywhere app, but Dish has the 6 regional feeds on the app and not the main national feed so I...

    Image Question

    When I click on the distance from a TV station to my location, I get a graph that looks something like this. I looked on the RabbitEars FAQ and didn't see the answers. Can someone tell me what the red dashed line, the green line, the purple dotted line that changes to baby blue lines...

    MeTV Removed from Dish

    Looks like MeTV and Dish have not come to a new deal and the channel was removed this evening. There are quite a few tweets to Dish about dropping the channel. Dish Promise.com says that MeTV backed out of a handshake deal. Maybe this is why the OTA channel listing in Chicago was fixed for...

    NBA League Pass

    Curious if anyone has NBA League Pass and noticed how about half of the HD feeds sound stops every 5 seconds and the video seems to be hery/jerky - like the frames per second is jumping and not a consistent rate. Wasn't sure if that is a Dish issue or maybe it is because I have a VIP211k? The...
