Wow. They no longer own the Peanut Gallery. They are in trouble!

From what you described, It looks like the Dish spot insertion system placed those ads on the wrong channel, especially since they replaced 60 seconds of the movie you were watching. Both of those look like national spots, so perhaps they didn't need to be downloaded to Hoppers and the other...

Does this mean the end of the local channel monopoly? I so, good. Way past time for that particular grift to end.

LOL. This is like the good old days, when I got yelled at by the M & E Police for subscribing to the Canadian Bell TV service. They reminded me of Dana Carvey's Church Lady moralizing on SNL. I was unapoligetic then and now for that 'sin'.

Dish already knows this. Since I cancelled in December '22, like clockwork every 60 days I get an offer that includes a $500 credit. I left because the programming I watch is for the most, part gone from satellite and cable. As enticing as 500 bucks sounds, even free wouldn't do it if there's...

My Dad installed a 60 foot tower in '65 (We lived near the South Jersey pine barrens.) so he could get those three without "snow". As a bonus, we got most of the NYC stations with the rotator pointed northeast and Baltimore DC stations with it pointed southwest. Also two channel 8's (Lancaster...

Primary. A UHF running at 1000KW. It sounded like it was out of phase somehow. The center channel was mixing into the other channels making the dialogue hard to hear. Also, this was only happening on CW programming. Maybe they only checked it during off network hours.

I had a similar problem on my CW in 2016. I emailed the chief engineer and two day later, the problem was fixed. The audio had been that way since the digital conversion in 2009. After seven years, there was finally something on the CW I actually wanted to watch, so I complained. Amazing that no...

For this dispute. who knows? For the underlying problem, just as soon as the government imposed local channel monopoly ends. When that occurs, viewers will be free to choose and MPVD's (and others) will provide options without coercion and at a much lower cost.

The team or the crowd? Or both? :) I have friends in Des Moines who are die hard Royals fans. That's gotta be at least as far away from KC as St. Louis is from Peoria. Heck, even I was a Royals fan the year they went all the way!

Before That, the Royals were on the Sports Time cable channel in 1984. A whopping 9000 subscribers on the Kansas City cable system could watch the games that year. It was a hard sell. By the end of the '84 season, I had around 2800 subs paying $10 per month on the cable system in Peoria. The...

Thank heavens there are still portions of the country that are not BS. :)

I got it for $52.99 yesterday.

I tried to get that price just yesterday when I called in to renew my old two year deal. She said she's never been able to sell it at that price. I wonder if anyone has successfully gotten it at $42.99? Otherwise....typo.

Maybe. Or maybe, based on your experience, reward customers with no increase when they reward Dish with a contract. Dish gets to pick and choose which customers they offer the "no increase" bennies to.

He offered you the same monthly cost for AT200 even though the cost for it increased $10 ($5 per year) over the past two years? If so, great deal! But I suspect you'll find that $20 discount will be after a $10 increase for AT200.

So, it sounds like if you take the Starz 5 buck promo (and maybe the Showtime and Movie Pack 5 buck promos as well), you get Dish Scapes thrown in as a bonus. If so, a great marketing ploy to bump up Dish Scapes subs.

My two year agreement ended a couple of days ago. I didn't bother calling and asking for a new one because the cost would go up $10, even if I was offered the same deal. As little as I am watching Dish these days, even the old amount is too much. I considered switching to Sling Blue, but...

Try this: After Buying DirecTV For $50 Billion In 2015, AT&T Now Seeks To Sell It For Under $20 Billion

"Pit spitting" and "marble racing" last week, Korean baseball this week. Six games a week through the regular season. ESPN Finds a Sport – Will Air South Korean Baseball Games Manual timer set for tonight, 10 PM Pacific.

You must have a special Roku box. On mine it's $4.99 a month. And if it ever does show up on Dish, IMO, it'll be in the mostly redundant News Pack, in order to make it slightly less so. Or maybe in the News Pack and as a separate add-on for $5 a month, like The Blaze was.

The DVR features work.

Sling is now offering "happy hour". Free Sling Blue every night between 5pm and midnight ET. SLING TV reinvents happy hour with free primetime TV through daily 'Happy Hour Across America'

Went into my programming. Cancelled Movie Pack. Redeemed offer. Saved 5 bucks. Thanks OP!

Oh boy! A list your first receiver thread! 3000, October 1996, right after the price dropped from $500 to $300. Dish replace it in January '98 when they bricked a bunch of them during an update.
