For all the reasons stated in the recent posts: - long standing disputes - by multiple entities - involving multiple networks We need to try new approach(es). Our area still cannot access the FOX network as part of Prime Time Anytime and we have not been able to access The CW and another...

Dish and Hearst settled with our ABC affiliate. Still don't have FOX or the other two channels.

I wish I had the time and energy to help toward delivering a better solution for us the end users. My basic premise is that the approach we are using is a waste of time and energy. We are directed to this approach when we complain to Dish, or any provider, to call our local station…. Here I...

I think we are getting off track the Hearst tv group action of itself is affecting 37 channels across the country. It seems to be affecting stations from all the networks. What I am suggesting is that instead of a relatively few people from each area complain to the station and to their...

I don't believe your entirely accurate. I am old enough to remember the early days of TV. Small screen, black & white pictures in a big box. The programing was all live, no recordings. But they were not an emergency broadcast box. The programing was limited. All the channels went off the air...

I agree with you that this does not make sense. But, we can only get them to reconsider and or adjust their stance is by raising this issue to a higher level. Like how it affects not only the end consumer. Who knows, perhaps some novice member of the House of Representatives in the right...

Dish cannot be providing and in my case even installing free OTA antennas for just a few issues. Does anyone have any idea how many local stations are in dispute with Dish? How many of them are on the FOX network? How many for more than a year? In our area, in addition to the current FOX...

When you complain to them, they play the blame game and blame Dish, DirectTV or whoever. Then they hold out to get the largest fee which in the end will cost you more for local programming. Complaining to the advertisers, networks, and program providers like the NFL will get their attention...

Been away from this forum for a while, just getting caught up on this post. I feel your pain. Here in Boston, we are currently without satellite access to our ABC, FOX, CW affiliates as well as another prominent local channel. It has been years without access to the last two. The OTA solution...

I too often go into analytical mode on these things. Here are a couple of things I recently noticed: Our problems occur when you look at the Information for a program on the Guide and the info on the Summary tab does not agree with the info on the Episodes tab. The Episodes tab tends to be...

Sorry to jump into the discussion late, been away from the site for a while. There have been a lot of issues with the guide and recording programs. Recently I noticed that timers didn't record programs. One reason there have been a lot of guide changes/corrections after the timer is setup. An...

A couple of quirks: Was looking forward to a CW program I received OTA. Schedule tab shows that it was recorded, but I can't find it anywhere including Trash. Also, on the DVR Schedule tab, I have the Skipped option turned off, but it frequently gets switched back on. One of the triggers I've...

Hopper 3 search function is affected by the same issues as timers. There also may be a correlation where search results with more than one occurrence for a program are related to broken timers. This became clear after timer issues with This Old House and Ask This Old House . I became aware in...

Been keeping an eye on CENTERPOINT referenced in my last post. Results don't make much sense to me. Study ended. Search only shows tomorrows programs. had setup only new timer to figure out issues - shows all available programs - only tomorrow and Friday's programs are new Results from...

Here's an update since my last post: Many may assume that what appears on the Guide is what matters, that is far from the truth. Some insight may be gleaned from the information that appears to the right pertaining to the selected program. The problem may be more complex than anyone might...

One possibility. On occasion, my wife has fat fingered the button on the remote to record while looking thought the Guide.

Strange things do happen, hopefully that is a one time thing. By posting all the quirks we see gives the Dish Support some insights. I have a Hopper 3 with Sling. Last week the FBI shows on CBS were not captured in Prime Time Anytime. First time I noticed anything like that. This week was good...

While I'm at it, I'm pretty sure that it must be known that any slight change to the program's name excludes it from the timer. Frequent example: "The Show" changes to "The Show with host's name" then back to "The Show". Is there anything that can be done to reduce the occurrences or do we...

Another thing that I hadn't had time to look into: When looking at the "Info" for a program and you select the "Showtimes" button, sometimes you see the full list for all the dates contained in the guide. Other times, you only see the times for that episode as is the case for "The News with...

Wondered what happened to Ask This Old House, hadn't had the time to look. Part of the "frustration" is it takes more time to setup your TV watching than to do it.

Not exactly a guide issue: I have written about this issue. Most recently, in this thread on Tuesday. I was convinced to keep the local channels in addition to adding the OTA antenna and now I have the best of both worlds. If you haven't yet taken advantage of the 2 year fixed price deal, it...

They are an add-on, similar to the movie packs and others. They control the channel source whether integrated with Dish or independently installed by the homeowner.

I have an issue with my local CW guide. The company that owns the channel is a real piece of work. They own 2 locals (one was a NBC affiliate, lost the license and is now a local news channel and the CW affiliate) They never resolved a dispute with Dish over 2 years old. Dish set me up with an...

My goal in starting this post was to be a catalyst to resolve as many issues as possible. I sense your extreme frustration, but there will never be a perfect system. I have been in contact with Dish Support to provide additional info on a post and can assure you they do care and are working to...

I also have issues with the OTA guide info. It is maintained by the company providing the OTA antenna. I had it installed to access three channels disputing fees with Dish. One settled, but the the other two owned by Apollo still are not on Dish after 3 years. One an independent station...
