    Best way to leave Dish?

    Non-sluggish performance, a smaller form factor, lower cost to have on my account, actual 4k programming, I could go on. As for new hardware, I basically mean a new Hopper - the Joey's and Android TV add-ons are fine but they are not able to replace my many years old Hopper as the main way to...

    Best way to leave Dish?

    I have been a long time Dish customer, but with my contact about to expire in a few months I think it is time to cut the cord and go to streaming only. The lack of new hardware since the H3 and rising costs have resulted in paying more and getting the same or less.Is there a preffered way to end...

    So what's going on with CNN?

    We can’t all be having the same issue in so many locations (Missouri to New Jersey) if it was just weather to our homes. Could it be weather on the Dish side?

    No A&E and history channels

    Happening for several of us, my CNN, Nick etc.

    So what's going on with CNN?

    Maybe it’s only from certain a satellite? I’m on Eastern Arc.

    So what's going on with CNN?

    I’m having the same issue. Also on Nick and Nat Geo and some others.

    Black screen on several channels (CNN, Nat Geo, Nick)

    Anyone else having this happen? Check signal stalls out at 60% as well. Might be weather related, but the channels do not show a Signal Loss message. I am in the Midwest on Eastern arc - sats are 61.5 and 77 (at least I think).

    DISH retention offers

    Thanks to this thread I was also able to call and extend my offer at the same rates and terms for another two years. Thanks everyone, this forum is the best!

    Fox Regional Sports Networks Block DISH and Sling TV Customers

    These disputes and blackouts are becoming a real issue for Dish. I don't know if I will be staying with Dish when my contract is up if we are going to keep losing channels left and right. I understand Dish is not the one at fault in these issues, but at some point enough is enough.

    The OFFICIAL DISH / HBO Thread

    Yep, it looks like Dish is giving up the fight: HBO Now Alternative Viewing | MyDISH | DISH Customer Support It would be nice if the Hopper could have the Now app built in so it was even easier to use.

    The OFFICIAL DISH / HBO Thread

    The problem is HBO Go goes down like the Titanic every time a new GoT episode airs. One of the reason I HATE streaming versus an actual channel on Dish (weather issues aside of course).

    The OFFICIAL DISH / HBO Thread

    My thoughts exactly, if GoT doesn’t bring it back nothing will :(

    Sanyo says please use audio 3 for dvi connection on joey with dish network

    I would try switching HDMI ports on the TV. Older sets often have a shared HDMI/DVI port that can be a bear for handshake and HDCP issues.

    Existing Customer Promotion

    The guy I talked to said it would auto-renew after the three months was over, but I could call or go online to mydish and remove it for free. I have had it for several years (since starting with Dish many moons ago) so I will have had it for more than 6 months at that point. I am not sure if I...

    Existing Customer Promotion

    I think it is from the protection plan being free for 3 months - that is around $10 per month. I had $2 per month get added back on for local channels and that discount does not appear to be included in the new promo. So $10 off - $2 back on = $8

    Existing Customer Promotion

    I was able to call and get the preferred Customer Offer as well. It shaves $28 per month off my bill and is locked for 2 years (so no increase on 1/15). I was also able to get my jankey Joey 2 upgraded to a 4k Joey for free today. I also got the protection plan for free for 3 months.

    Existing Customer Promotion

    I guess Dish does not want my business. I just did a chat and basically got told to take a walk. No offers other than $5 STARZ for 3 months and free Showtime for 3 months. I will try again another day and see if anything changes.

    El Rey going away?

    I am the same way, I love the programming but cannot get past the poor SD picture quality. Still will be sad to see it go from Dish.

    El Rey going away?

    Saw this on the El Rey Facebook page - when it rains it pours I guess.

    Joey 3

    It would be great if Dish replaced Joey 2's with these for little to no fee. My Joey 2 is a pain.

    Spam call from Echostar?

    The number is actually Dish, just faked. I'll answer but usually hang up pretty quickly.

    Spam call from Echostar?

    Just got a call from Echostar (800.333.3474) claiming to be Dish moving satellites because of "so many complaints". Caller was hard to understand with a very thick accent, I assumed it was a scam and hung up before he got through the pitch. Anyone else get anything similar?

    DISH Debuts Hands-Free TV on Hopper DVR with Amazon Alexa

    I can confirm that the Amazon Dash Wand will control a Dish Hopper! It is one of the few Alexa skills it can do. Sent from my SHIELD Tablet K1 using the SatelliteGuys app!
