    Delayed response in menu

    Per Comcast: "all X1 series devices are sent a reboot signal between 0200 and 0400 hours every morning." They would not give a specific reason for the mandated reboot, just stated they push a reboot command out to every X1 box every morning. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

    DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

    How about making all sports channels a separate tier- NOT included in basic packages and OPTIONAL! I'm really tired of paying for something I don't watch. Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 4

    Official DISH Channel Request Thread

    "Normal" volume on the new local inserts. Fix it, or I file a complaint with the FCC. It's ere that we watch anything except TCM HD and the Premiums, but when you local insert into MSNBC, everyone covers their eats and the cats run out of the room. NO don't tell me to use the software feature...

    FCC Supports Dish Network Plan to Compete with Wireless Giants

    Title should read FCC BACKS Dish Network Plan to Compete with Wireless Giants - wishful thinking in my own mind, I guess . . . Scott: Please correct title for me, thanks! From the Washington Post: The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday proposed to greenlight Dish...

    Dish made bid to acquire MetroPCS

    Re: Dish made bid to acquire T-Mobile Yeah, but Twinkees don't break or go bad, so the maintenance costs are much lower, too! Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

    STATIONS NOT WANTED - MAKE THEM TOTALLY OPTIONAL ADD ON

    Since the WHAT STATION DO YOU WANT thread only allows for one station to be listed and not genres, I would like to suggest this post as what we would like to have as ELECTIVE or ELIMINATE without specifically requesting in a package. Let me start by stating we never watch sports channels and...

    Recording on the fly, record entire show.

    I stand corrected. It is available in "OPTIONS" but was previously a MAIN RECORD MENU option and should be reinstated as such. Just another way of Dish inconveniencing long-time customers.

    So whos NOT getting a Hopper due to lack of OTA?

    Not going to wait. Just not going to upgrade. We currently have 3 722K receivers and, with the exception of not having HD on a couple of sets, are very happy. I also have Comcast, HBO on demand, and several other alternatives for watching movies. Unfortunately, Dish just doesn't understand...

    So whos NOT getting a Hopper due to lack of OTA?

    Another reason NOT to get the HOPPER / JOEY combo until this is rectified.

    Recording on the fly, record entire show.

    This was removed from both the 722 and 722Ks several software updates ago. It would be great to have it back.

    So whos NOT getting a Hopper due to lack of OTA?

    Not even going to consider Hoppers/Joeys until we have an OTA module available. Located in Chicago, we are spoiled by the exceptional quality of the local PBS affiliate, WTTW, Channel 11. Once it is compressed to hell by Dish it looks like crap. We also watch the ME and ME2 affiliates locally...

    Migration Channel?

    So far it is nothing special - just a bunch of 1/2 hour promotions with lots of DISH advertising inserted. NO HD - NO WATCH - NOW LOCKED OUT.

    3D in 2012 -- May send me to DirecTv

    The only thing good about 3D is that it is puching the price of larger sets way down. Saw a 72" set today for only $995.00 - no rebates, no gimics. Prices at $995.00 I, also, do not believe that 3D TV is here to stay.

    Sorry, but I can only see H/J failure in the future...

    Fill-up in Chicago today was $4.37 per gallon. We are predicting between $6.00 and $7.00 per gallon in Chicago by the end of the summer.
