    any vestigial programming left upon entering Dish Pause?

    Title It's been so long since I've contemplated this, but we're about to do it and I seem to recall some programming still available. Were locals still left on? We're on Welcome pack with a 211K and an attached EHD, out of contract. Thanks for looking!

    Was the HBO preview announced?

    Title says it. Just noticed the channels rn Charlie trying to take the sting out of the price hikes or?

    Welcome pack sub. DVR glitch last night , and music channels gone today

    Anyone else notice this? I might be a minority here, just a 211k w/ EHD, welcome pack sub. Not coincidental that we have a looming price increase?

    211k lifespan/mtbf

    Our Dish content is starting to exhibit occasional Matrix-like glitches/pauses/stutters. I thought maybe I was hallucinating at first, but independent observations (well, my wife's eagle eye) have confirmed this. Idk what's causing this. We have a WD 640GB HDD hooked up for your basic...

    replacing old EHD w/ a Passport on 211K

    Under the heading of "reviving antiquated hardware" I guess-- Looks like my old WD 640GB mybook died, can't even get power to it anymore. Had a new-ish WD 2TB Passport lying about so subbed that in. everything seems to be working as before, so WAF wise, I'm outta the doghouse. I guess the...

    Dish Pause for 211K w/EHD?

    Title pretty much sums it up. we're reevaluating our entertainment expenses (wife retiring soon) and remembered the possibility of the dish pause. We have a small EHD attached and recall you still had access to that while on pause. Did any programming come through also? I think I remember locals...

    211k lifespan, and potential replacement

    We're just a two -person household with ordinary-to-low usage patterns, one TV, and an EHD connected. We're still on our 211k from 2009, all good so far, but I was wondering how long the 211k lasts. If we had to replace under this usage scenario, would a Wally work? Would the PQ differ? Thanks...

    Self install?

    Just had our roof redone, and need the dish remounted. Last time I did it myself, started looking around and don't see any self install kits or info, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Everything's still connected, just need to remount/aim/align. Just finished with a CSR chat which was...

    Sling on Roku

    Currently trying out a week of Sling on my Roku and not liking it much--clumsy interface, crashing, weird colors. Other Roku channels behave normally; I have sufficient bandwidth. Not seeing the appeal of it right now. Anyone else have this experience?

    "Temporarily" unpause an account? (DIRT question maybe?)

    This might be something a DIRT rep could best answer, or if anyone has experience and willing to share, I'd appreciate it. We put our account into pause recently and are reconsidering that decision. Wondered if there were any "penalty" for unpausing, then resuming pause, say within a 30-60 day...

    Pause service w/ 211k & EHD

    I searched here but couldn't find the answer, apologies if I missed it. We're experimenting with "cutting the cord" so to speak, and have paused our 120+ service. Haven't physically disconnected our 211k or dinky 640GB EHD. Didn't think of asking the chat rep about potential consequences...

    Thinking of ditching E*

    been with Dish for a few years, now out of contract w/their AT120 and HDFFL. Wife likes Cooking Channel and I like MLBTV, looking like comparable D* package (Choice, I think) would total would be about what we're paying now (about $57) With an HD DVR and a two year contract. Really dislike...

    OTA & DVR in a post-dish life

    Apologies if this is in the wrong area or has been covered before. We find we're watching less tv as we age (small household of two, one tv) and although we like the dvr functionality provided by the ehd connected to our vip211k, we're still contemplating leaving dish and going with ota which...

    Dish carrying tonight's Angels game (417/FSW)?

    Figured someone here would know, can't figure if tonight's is one of those kcop games dish refuses to pay for. I'm Central Cali and was hoping to see Jim Abott throw out tonight's first pitch. See it listed in ESPN2 also, but the blackout rules resemble TSA policies in their utter...
