    Recommendation for a cell phone for a senior with dexterity issues

    My Dad is now living in a Long Term Care facility. He needs to have a phone, if for no other reason than to have it. He has serious dexterity issues so it is very important that the phone have large buttons and be easy to answer. My thought is a basic no frills cell, either to add to my...

    Contacting DIRT

    Zach, Cut the cord some time ago, but we are contemplating coming back. The $49.00 2 year price lock deal is very attractive. Recently I saw in the Military Exchange weekly sale flyer that Dish has a Military program. I think it was a 3 year price lock. It included a phone number, but no...

    Switching from cable to Roku & Chromecast

    If sports is an issue and you don't already have dish, they are offering the best deal I have ever seen, $49/ month lock for two years includes a hopper, no hidden fees, includes HD and RSN. My wife is thinking about it for the cable news, given that this is an election year....personally I'm...

    devices for steaming tv

    You can do XBMC with minimal knowledge of technology. If you can read you can be successful. There is a neat little device called a RaspberryPi. It is a micro computer a bit bigger than a deck of cards. They boot off of an SD card and can be set up to boot off an sd card and use a thumb drive...

    2 New to me IPTV boxes

    Once you set up KODI you then add various addons that provide the content you want to watch. There are several forums dedicated to KODI/XBMC: KODI, TVADDONS, TotalXBMC, OPENELEC.TV etc. I suggest you check out the forums and see if KODI is what you are looking for. It is Open Source so you...

    CBS stations return to DISH

    Just checked the WBZ Facebook page. WBZ is making it seem like this is all the fault of DISH, just like Fox25 did when FIOS dropped them, but the viewer comments are all directed towards CBS. For the most part they suggest CBS should not be asking for more money. We cut the cord two years ago...

    Grit and Escape Ink Fresh Carriage Deals

    Escape is on 6.3 WLNE-D3 out of Providence. WLNE is the ABC affiliate I'm actually in the Boston DMA, however I do receive two Providence stations OTA. Don't see Grit yet.... EDIT: just did a double check and Escape is also on 66.4 WUTF-DT in the Boston DMA Ross Sent via Tapatalk

    "Smart Dvr"???????

    So as a former Dish customer and current cord cutter, I receive the typical "please come back" mailings once or twice a month. It's been over a year, we are reasonably happy with OTA and streaming, and it is certainly a big cost savings. I usually take a quick look at the mailings on the off...

    Why do we have to pay for locals with Dish?

    I for one had no idea that multichannel video providers had to pay the locals to retransmit until I found this site (several years ago). We switched to Dish when they began carrying the locals in our DMA, and yes it was $5.00 more per month. I honestly thought it was an up charge by dish for...

    Why do we have to pay for locals with Dish?

    I expect most tv viewers don't realize that you can still receive OTA! We dropped Dish over a year ago. Frankly it was a combination of economics, and our dissatisfaction with overall content of pay tv. Sure we miss some shows, and we definitely miss the cable news and NESN, but we have three...

    Dish "Transfer" Question

    I suppose you should have asked the question before you set up the Hopper Install, but especially before the tech left your house! I don't know much about windows tablets, which I assume you are using, but have you explored going through a browser? Good luck Ross Sent via Tapatalk

    Good idea, but if that were the case I wouldn't get audio on any other app correct? That is not the case it's just amazon Sent via Tapatalk

    Tigers at Pades only in SD!???

    It wasn't too many years ago that wasn't the case...the sox would get pushed off to the alternate channel which may or may not have been on HD. So now I watch on the at bat app and yes I get the sox and live in Massachusetts...I'm sure you know how :) Ross Sent via Tapatalk

    Dish to refund $2 million to Washington customers

    Look again at the first post there is a line in there that says Dish never mentioned the fee to customers when quoting the price of service, seems that May have been the straw that broke the camels back? Of course if this is the way the laws are going to go does that mean telecom companies have...

    2014 MLB.TV

    Signed up for the free trial. It works sort of for me. On the ROKU the streaming is very choppy and the PQ is average. On my RaspberryPi running Openelec the PQ is great, streaming is perfect but there was no sound. I expect the sound issue has to do with the MLBMC app which i will attempt...

    Cheapest device that runs XBMC and plugs into tv HDMI port?

    You can buy a Raspberry Pi from eBay all set to plug in and run from $80.00. If you want to set it all up your self you might be able to get all the pieces parts a bit cheaper. There are a couple of different software builds Do your research and pick the one you like. I'm using Openelec...

    Of the popular sub channels we don't have Antenna TV in the Boston DMA so I guess that would be my choice. Ross Sent via Tapatalk

    Tablo now available for pre-order- $219

    I like the concept, personally it doesn't bother me that to watch on a tv I must use a ROKU, all our tv's are ROKU connected anyway. Seems a small price to pay to have a "whole house" dvr. The monthly guide price is more than reasonable, I'm currently paying TIVO $9.95 for a mediocre guide...

    Price increases in February 2014 (UPDATED!)

    So it's been just about a year since we cut the cord and I have to be honest we really enjoy saving almost $1000.00 a year. Sure it took a bit of getting used too, and there are times we miss a few of the "cable" channels but overall we are happy. We also stream through ROKUs and iPad. Works...
