    Xfinity and Peacock?

    I just started at step 5 (for about the 10th time ON jULY 27) because the "activate' banner is there. No change. Peacock gives me the free sampler and says I don't have a subscription when I go to the account tab. I had trouble making it work months ago when they first gave it away, sadly I...

    Xfinity and Peacock?

    A while back I received notice that Peacock was no longer going to be free along with my Xfinity internet. Then about 10 days ago I got an email saying it was free again and gave instructions to activate it again. However each time I log into Peacock the system kicks me into the payment screen...

    Obsolete DishTV equipment?

    Thank you for the replies. I think we're ok unless one of the receivers dies.

    Obsolete DishTV equipment?

    We have VIP211K and a VIP222K receivers. Does anyone know the date that these will stop working? Will Dish replace these free-of-charge and without a new contract if they stop working because they either die or Dish turns them off? Sorry if the answer is somewhere else on this forum.

    Where's the Weather Channel App?

    Great, pay more get less. And of course we're into the 'Contract negotiations' on some of the VERY FEW channels that we watch so they're not viewable. If only I could teach my wife to use the smart TV apps!!!

    only one locked upstream channel?

    That's what I figured I'd be told so that's why I did what I did by connecting my modem directly to the cable box :-). Thank you to everyone that’s been offering advice to this amateur and his perceived problem. In regards to the channel issue, someone earlier pointed out that in spite of the...

    only one locked upstream channel?

    The SB6141 wasn't broken (yet) but whenever my wife says something along the lines of shouldn't you....and I don't... guess what? She mentioned the modem so I replaced it. The SB6190 is faster but with what I do it's just a 'feel good'. Anyways my plan is up to 200 downstream and up to 10...

    only one locked upstream channel?

    Both my down and upload speeds exceed my plan speed by about 10% so on that point I'm happy. This is the upload even after pulling the plug on the router, waiting a few minutes and plugging it back in...

    only one locked upstream channel?

    Please let me know where to look if this is the wrong forum. I just purchased an Arriss SB6190 modem to replace the SB6141 which hasn't been supported by Xfinity for quite some time. Up front, when I do a Speedtest.net or use the Xfinity speed check everything is within my speed range that I...

    Channel 213 Local Weather channel? April 2023

    Did DISH remove the local Weather channel that was on 213? It was there yesterday and not today. That is something that my wife uses everyday.

    Changing the Android Version

    Is it possible to put a different version of Android OS on an Android TV box? If so where do I get a legal copy of the Android OS? Is there an idiots guide of how to do it or am I overthinking it? Why do I want to do that? Android 10 won't play some of the applications that I have on an older...

    21.0 IR/UHF remote seems to be dead

    I took my remote apart since it was deemed that my new remote was dead. When I did, a chuck of white stone like material fell out from the negative battery ‘coils’ that are up inside of the remote. I also noted what looked like scorch marks on the circuit board under each ‘coil’. The remote...

    21.0 IR/UHF remote seems to be dead

    Sorry, but I don't they have anything in mind other than a sales pitch for a new contract which isn't my version of rectifying the situation. There are 4 remotes in the Dish store and one of them is out of stock. Would any of them work with the UHF section of a VIP222K? Probably not, so the...

    21.0 IR/UHF remote seems to be dead

    Thank you for the reply. However I take it that the answer is that my remote is dead even though it doesn't even have finger prints on it. I confirmed that it was ordered late December 2019 from DISH and probably has less than an hours use on it :-(.

    21.0 IR/UHF remote seems to be dead

    We have a remote in a room that is rarely used so I took the batteries out of the remote. When we had company but when I went to use the remote but not even the SAT/TV/DVD etc buttons will light up. I changed the batteries even though the old batteries checked good with a battery tester. It...

    Between not giving the system time to respond and a day or so of "what's an up button ?" (or left, right, and down) I gave up. I thought YouTube TV might cut the costs but alas....

    FuboTV pricing

    Thank you for the replies. I had no issue with the programming (price was 1/2 of what we're paying now) but my wife didn't like what she had to do in order to watch her channels even after I set them up as favorites. She pushes buttons and doesn't give anything much more than one nanosecond to...
