    Loyal Dish customer longevity

    No, not heard of any existing customer offer. Sling lacks locals, DA is only good on one TV at a time. Nothing against Dish obviously since I still have it, just wish I could stream the same channels (same packages), with no equipment. You'd think they would have updated Sling with locals by...

    Loyal Dish customer longevity

    Only about 15 years here. I've also been on YTTV for the past year. Wife can't stand the YTTV guide, otherwise Dish would be gone. Dish speed, DVR, and guide put streaming services to shame. But at $65 YTTV saves a bundle of $$ if you're paying for a bunch of Dish equipment. Dish pros: Speed...

    Amazon Prime

    All good here. Makes no sense that a Joey in the other room can't pick it up from the Hopper. That's where the wife watches who hates switching inputs. Don't see a channel assigned. Prone guide looks just like Roku, can watch anything subscribed to.

    Cord cutting advice for heavy DVR user

    I haven't found anything that would make me give up my Hopper 3. Tried YTTV for a month,S don't like the guide or way it "records" everything. So easy on the H3,'s it's as good as anything unlimited. My Hopper is half full, 2T ehd full. Hate to throw away all those recordings. I'm only paying...

    Comet Hd

    Thought Comet was considered "local", which "should" come with Flex. I probably wouldn't watch it much, but more channels is always better!

    Comet Hd

    Guess it's not added to Flex Pack.

    Schedule recording missed

    Nothing else. Hopper 3, so plenty of open channels. Showed in scheduled recording both days, but when I started watching it (a little late), I noticed it wasn't recording, so missed the first 10 minutes. So set it to record the next time it was on. Forgot about it and didn't record. Still showed...

    Schedule recording missed

    I've been trying to record The Avengers, shows timer for today at 3:00 (under timer tab), but never started recording. It's on the timer list, but when I click on it and look at "timer schedule" in the popup, nothing is there. No red dot on the guide either. Tried yesterday and today and...

    The YouTube TV Thread

    Signed up for a month to see if wife can get use to interface. Currently on Dish Hopper/Joey. Looks like it's not going to happen. 1. No way to get program description while scrolling through live guide. 2. Most shows, movies added to DVR won't commercial skip. 3. Have to subscribe to Philo to...

    YouTube TV Becomes First Streamer to Carry PBS

    If Spectrum Choice would get more like other streamers (easy to sign up, easy to cancel, not add fees), I think they'd be a very good choice. $25 for all locals and subs, plus 10 of anything else you want. And you can also add HBO Go for $7.50. Good addition to Philo (or just free Pluto).

    Streaming is about to get very expensive

    I've about decided to keep Dish Flex pack, drop movie pack and add Philo - this adds Hallmark for wife, and a few other channels I like (AXS, Animal, GSN, Sundance). Cost still under $100, Dvr and guide are better, and existing recordings are not lost. My gut says in a year or less cutting the...

    DISH Four Tuner USB OTA Adapter Rumor

    Probably Slings Airtv.

    $12.99 Bundle for Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+

    Would be great if you could add unlimited streams and dvr to Hulu base. Will probably subscribe to Disney one month a year. I'd buy Hulu no ads with unlimited screens if available.

    New Software Coming Tonight

    My other devices has been disappearing for the past 6 months. Trying to force the update to 539 just results in same 538. Hoping 539 fixes the disappearing ehd issue! Google Assistant would be nice, but the ehd issue is a real pain! Almost frustrated enough to switch to YouTube TV, since I can't...

    AirTV introduced AirTV Mini

    Yeah, looks like it needs the black box, another $80. How is this different from a Roku? Waiting for the Airtv quad with updated processor. Currently have dual Tablo that's fine, but if I cut the cord, I'll ned 4 tuners and something more similar to a Hopper3.

    External hard drive

    I have 2 powered MyBook drives that disconnect almost every night (no "other devices" icon). Rebooting Hopper 3 fixes issue. I've seen older threads with same issue, is there a solution?

    Cheapest DISH Package with Buzzr and Game Show Network

    Maybe Spectrum Choice, locals plus pick 10 for $25/mo. Add a Roku to get Pluto free (includes Buzzr). Also amazing what you can pick up with a $20 amplified antenna.

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    So Flex customers don't get 4k even with a Hopper 3? I don't see ch 540 on my list. Nevermind, just googled it. See them under on demand 4k section. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk

    Hallmark Movies Now? - HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE

    I have an LG smart TV, real easy to access most apps. Mainly use Prime and Vudu for apps. Have an old roku2 (I think) on tv in a guest room for app viewing for guests. "Wife's tv" is a Joey, she's happy with Dish as long as I keep movie pack (bargain for $10), which has her HM Movies &...

    Hallmark Movies Now? - HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE

    Just tried YTTV with hm now. Wife didn't like it at all (after 5 minutes of browsing). She likes all the mysteries on Hallmark M&M. She couldn't find any of them. We subscribed today, and cancelled today. Returning the Roku I bought tomorrow. YTTV guide sucks. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using...

    Cord cutting still subpar

    Agreed. Just tried YTTV. The guide has a long way to go! If I added all the Roku channels I'd need to get what we have on Dish, the total cost would be equivalent ($88). A Hopper and a Joey is so much faster to maneuver around. Now if Roku could have one guide that merged channels (from 3 or 4...

    The YouTube TV Thread

    Well I'm trying the new Premier Plus, and WiFi connection seems string. Sure takes getting use to the schedule! Not sure if I can convince the wife. After playing with an hour, I'm liking it. First hurdle is wife needs Hallmark, so I added Hallmark Now to my channels, but logging into Hallmark...

    The YouTube TV Thread

    Going to try Youtube soon, need to buy a Roku. Is the streaming stick plus the best option for a tv about 40' from router (2 walls)? 1080 tv now but would like the 4k option. Or is the new Premier plus a good option? Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk
