    The OFFICIAL DISH / HBO Thread

    As a loyal Dish customer and long time HBO subscriber I refuse to sign up for HBO GO. That's just helping HBO and not supporting Dish. It's like Charlie said, anybody can search the net and find out how to watch HBO shows without paying HBO.

    Question about FOX news

    Watching FOX news around 7:30 pm and I notice an odd commercial for NBC nightly news. I think this is unusual for FOX so I try to back up a few minutes to re-watch it. The commercial is no longer there. Of course I think I may be going crazy but It happens again during another commercial break...

    SEC & Longhorn Networks

    It's hard to understand why anyone would think they're a better football conference than the SEC. The championships speak for themselves.

    SEC & Longhorn Networks

    I think the SEC Network will be great for everybody. We will get to see the best college football available. No one will have to miss out just because they live in another part of the country. That will be worth every dollar subscribers are asked to contribute. This is a great thing for Dish...

    OTA question

    I've found the OTA tunner does very little to help improve reception. The antenna is where you'll get the best number of channels. I wound up getting a MOHU. But if you do an internet search you'll find many good options at cheaper prices if you can mount it outside. I do have issues when...

    Media General Stations Removed from DISH, Agreement Reached

    Wrong! No news is not good news when the stations are blacked out. Now that the FCC denied Dishs request to block the merger between Young and Media General things should get real nasty. Will Young Broadcastings 10 channels be blacked out any day now that they are also Media General?

    DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

    The bright side is there's no reason to black out anything anytime soon. If nothing else Dish and Disney should keep things as they are while trying to come to an agreement. Dish knows they'll have a hard time explaining to their customers how they dropped ESPN because they couldn't broadcast...

    DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

    Looks like things may be stalling with Disney. Inside info is starting to leak out. The deal is not about money. It's internet, wireless transmission and the hopper. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/04/business/media/disney-and-dish-wrangle-not-over-broadcast-fees-but-the-future-of-tv.html?_r=0

    DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

    I'm out day 1. ESPN is one channel I refuse to do without. But I was asking looking for recommendations for new providers.

    DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

    If Dish does lose ESPN what is everybody's choice of new providers? I'm looking at Uverse. They seem to have the best service for the price. I hope things get settled, I would really miss the hopper.

    Dish Hopper getting 5 bad reviews to 1 good review

    I find it hard to believe there are too many complaints about the hopper. It is a fantastic piece of equipment. I had no ideal how much I would like PTAT. If there are any complaints it would be with Dish's On Demand services and their lack of available HD channels. Dish lacks a lot in the on...

    Combining Services to save Money

    I dropped xfinity for Dish. I still had xfinity internet and phone. Then I found Vonage phone for 12.99 vs 44.99. Now I'm down the just internet with xfinity.

    I just love dish

    I apologize for making that statement. It was meant to be one of those comments people make when they don't think it actually applies to anyone.

    I just love dish

    I don't get it. It's a message board. Someone makes a post because they want replies. I made a reply. I didn't complain about the post. I have no problem with the post. I just happen to not believe it. Why are you defending the obvious?

    I just love dish

    I rarely use the word liar. I really don't like to. If you read my post I did not in this case. But if i don't believe someone I tell them. It's not about hiding behind the internet. It something sounds wrong, why should I believe it? That's not trolling. I'm not sure why you think it is.

    I just love dish

    I'm sorry if I hurt some feelings. But there's not a lot of differences between the 2 sat providers. Dish has the hopper which to me is clearly better. But not that much. Direct has better sports channels. But not that many. Direct also has more HD channels. But not that many. Dish is cheaper...

    Is it possible Directv pays its employees too much? Or maybe there's some internet BS. I like the hopper also, but free is free. Nobody is stupid enough to believe you.

    Media General Stations Removed from DISH, Agreement Reached

    I blinked first. Got the OTA adapter for hopper and made my home made coat hanger antenna. Added a $25 signal booster from Wal Mart and now I could not care less if Dish ever settles with Media General. Plus when the weather gets bad I can watch all local network channels. If there was some way...

    DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

    One thing we should all agree on is if auto hop is the problem, it should be removed. I like it a lot but if every network decides to hold out because of it, we won't have it or the stations anyway. I have CBS blocked out now. Next will be ABC. Not much left to autohop.
