    why would someone leave dish

    Virtually no buffering. Other than the DVR, I think Apple TV can do way more. I get everything that I used from dish, but now just pay less. Also, get more out of my $65/month 100M/bps internet service. I think it’s a win-win for me. Plus I get HBO again.

    why would someone leave dish

    It wasn’ a “dig”. I was justifying why I took the dish down. Price originally, but once I was able see both side by side, I found out what I was missing in picture quality. 5Mbit and MPEG-4 vs 12Mbit and H.264. I don’t have any problem with AT&T’s internet service, because I don’t have it. I...

    why would someone leave dish

    " I don't care what you say, you will not convince me that DTV's picture "is waaaaaay better" No, he stated DTV, not DiercTV NOW.

    why would someone leave dish

    First, I don't have Direct TV, or DTV as you called it. I have DirecTV NOW. It is AT&T's streaming service. Read a couple posts further down the line. for other opinions about the picture quality. The America's Everything pak includes all the premium channels, and I had the $8/month for Dish...

    why would someone leave dish

    And it was the bill was going up. They had put me on a 12 month promo, which brought it down to $162. And yes, the picture quality is wayyyyy better.

    why would someone leave dish

    They tried saying that because of the net neutrality laws, that Spectrum would raise my internet charges because I was using more data.

    why would someone leave dish

    They did the same to me. Sorry, HBO is a deal breaker. They the grass isn’t greener on the other side of the fence, but the picture quality from DirectTVNow smokes Dish. And my bill is down by $130/month for all the content that I want. Dish tried to play the net neutrality card.

    First time cord cutter, any tips?

    After 20 years with Dishnetwork, we gave them the old heave-ho. $220/month for 9000 channels that I don’t care about, to get the 100 channels that I do want. Ergen gets in a pissing match with HBO. The one channel that I do want. He is gong to lose the battle anyways, and pass the cost on to the...

    Is there a real manual for the Hopper 3 and 4k Joeys?

    I missed footnote 1 in the feature sheet. Oops. Has anybody been able to stream 4k, like Defiance, yet. I, like many others, keep getting the fault screen saying that my receiver does not have enough internet bandwidth. I know it's definitely not the case in my house. I've even changed from...

    Is there a real manual for the Hopper 3 and 4k Joeys?

    I am beginning to think that these boxes don't put out 4k, unless they are playing 4k content. My hopper and my joey, on both my 4k sets both show 1080p in the diagnostics tab in settings. I thought these boxes upconverted everything to 4k. Neither of my tvs are detecting 4k signal.

    4K Test/Demo Channel?

    I'm thinking hat something is broken on Dish's end. No 4k VOD for me with 60Mbps. But, both my TVs, and my blu-ray player are steaming 4k just fin from Netflix, Amazon, and M-GO.

    Hopper 3 terrible HD picture

    It should be set to on. You'll only see any difference, when the source material is broadcast in HDR.

    Apparently, my 60Mbps connection isn't fast enough either. Hmmm

    Hopper 3 terrible HD picture

    Yes, you are correct. My bad, especially because my parents just bought a UN60JS7000. The JS7000 will do HDR. The UHD setting will enable HDR for each input..

    Hopper 3 terrible HD picture

    First, for Samsung, you have to have a tv that supports HDR. A JU9000 with a SEK-3500 upgrade, or a JS8500 and up. You have to set in your inputs, the UHD setting to on. Then that HDMI input will automatically enable HDR when available.

    Hopper 3 terrible HD picture

    No such thing. The testing requirement for 4k certification has been adopted, but they are still working out how to test for compliance. Right now HDMI cable are tested for 10.25 Gbps for 1080p. The certification will require 18 Gbps. But there aren't any, to knowledge, as of yet on the market...

    Official - I have a Hopper 3 Thread!

    My tech showed up at 9:00 this morning. Put up my new dish. Had a rough patch with the Hopper. First one was defective. Second one worked fine. Installed my 2 4K Joeys. Took about 3 hours in all. The tech, Brandon, was extremely professional and courteous. As for the Hopper and Joeys, I'm...

    I'm ok with the word compromise. I wish there was more in the political circles.

    Free upgrade to the Hopper 3?

    Both sides never get everything they want in a negotiation. You have to know what's important to you, when negotiating.

    Free upgrade to the Hopper 3?

    Agreed, but sometimes you need to let them know, in a respectful way, that you are willing to go elsewhere.

    Free upgrade to the Hopper 3?

    20 years and always having top tier package has to count for something. Dish needs to show a little loyalty here, now and then.
