    Platinum renewal rate

    I took advantage of an offer for three months for $2 (total). I didn't think about it at the time but this is their way of getting your credit card number, which is set to automatically renew at the $29 per month rate. I tried calling to cancel and got the run around (not being listened to...

    A new diginet called StoryTV will be launched on 3-28-22

    WHNE in Detroit (low power, on RF 3) has 12(!) channels. None of them are watchable.

    More Painful Cancelling Dish Network than Going to a Dentist.

    Oh...try canceling SiriusXM. You won't believe the crap you're made to withstand.

    Why does Guide (all subscribed) list X rated channels?

    This one totally goes over my head. I'm afraid to ask why.

    Transferring Free Preview

    Does anyone know if it's possible to transfer a current free preview from one radio to another? I received service from my dealer in October and, unbeknownst to me, I was eligible for three months of XM radio for free (no credit card required, which I really appreciate). It began November 1...

    Dish Price Increase Coming - 11/16/2021

    I'm not quite one full month of having cancelled Dish. I'm surviving! Everyone has their limit and mine was surpassed a while ago. With these continued price increases, I just can not see Dish et al stopping the hemorrhaging of subscribers.

    My TV flip on Detroit

    WADL used to transmit at maximum power when it was analog. The problem is that the transmitter tower is not as tall as the other Detroit stations. I've always lived in the eastern section of Oakland county so I've never had reception problems.

    Just Canceled

    Nothing. The rep stated that I was entitled to discounts but I pressed that I only wanted to cancel.

    Just Canceled

    After over ten years of subscribing to Dish Network, I finally made the decision to cancel. I called and spent probably 30 minutes on the phone, partly listening to the retention "spiel". I was very firm and kept my demeanor polite. It wasn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated. And...

    Crappy GUIDES Again

    Guide For OTA Channels not so good

    I'm seriously considering leaving Dish Network. Very few of the OTA sub channels in the guide have any programming information. If companies like Tablo can offer a complete OTA gude for all channels, I don't see why Dish can't. We certainly pay a premium price to them already.

    I just renewed online.

    I'm not sure if SiriusXM realizes how many customers they lose or potential customers they never get because of the hassle of having to speak with agents to renew or cancel. Personally, I've had it and will never give my credit card to them again. After wasting almost an hour of my time the...

    Pittsburgh ATSC 3.0 reception demo with excellent results

    Thanks for posting that. It's impressive how stable the ATSC 3.0 signal is during motion. As a passenger, I brought an ATSC 1.0 tuner for my laptop on a trip and the signal only stayed solid when I was within sight of the broadcast tower. Otherwise, it would break up terribly.

    Ion Plus and Qubo to shut down

    Since the recent shutdown of ION+ and Qubo, the Detroit market now has the following digitnets duplicated: Court TV (on 7.4 and now duplicated on 31.2) Court TV Mystery (on 20.3 and now duplicated on 31.4) Grit (on 38.2 and now duplicated on 31.3) It's a total waste of bandwidth, which would...

    Bye Bye Dish

    I'm considering getting Tablo. I've discovered that the three Smart TVs I have in the house can all download the Tablo app so I just need the receiver/DVR. The expense of the box, though, seems steep. My other option is to see if I can get just locals from Dish (and nothing else). I have a...

    Replaying songs on car radio

    I recently purchased a 2021 Cadillac XT5 and have the three-month preview of SiriusXM on the car's radio. While playing with the controls, I noticed that I can actually go back in time and play songs that have already played. It appears to start "recording" from the time I start the vehicle...

    Explain the logic here

    That Clio tower is very tall, can be seen for miles. My parents lived in Harrison (78 miles away) and could receive WEYI when it was analog. It was fairly clear, too.

    Interesting (and sort of odd) conversation with rep

    LOL. I don't expect to see 80, let alone 100.

    Guide info showing the wrong information

    Did you recently do a rescan? I noticed that the guide mixes up the programming info for OTA channels after I do a rescan. It takes about a day for it to all go back to normal.

    Successful Launch and deployment of SXM-7

    I just purchased a new vehicle that comes with a preview of SXM (three months). I was so surprised to see that Utopia (a dance music channel) was available. I thought that this was only available online. The channel number is in the 300's, which also made me wonder why my car radio receives...

    Interesting (and sort of odd) conversation with rep

    That will be the day that I stop watching OTA. Call me old school but OTA radio and TV have been free for the first 50 years of my life and they better be for the last 50. ;-)

    2021 Dish Prices

    Wow. I would never have expected my monthly fee to go DOWN. I own my own equipment (Hopper 3 and two Joey 3's). I guess my net savings will be $9 per month. This makes me change my mind about dropping Dish in the new year.

    New Software: Hopper Duo (U990), Hopper 1 (....), Hopper 2 (....), Hopper 3 (....), Wally (....)

    You are not misremembering this. I noticed it too and it's super annoying when I want to delete a whole series that has over 100 episodes.

    Nexstar Media Group threatens largest local station blackout in TV history, according to DISH

    I've been using the two-tuner OTA module for the Hopper 3 for two years now and I'm very pleased with it. The house I'm in already had a roof-mounted antenna so all of the locals come in at signal strength 100. I really like using the Dish DVR to record OTA and see (most of) the channels in...

    WNWO (NBC) virtual 24 - Toledo, OH granted FCC license for new 275 kW DTV transmitter.

    Hopefully, WUDT in Detroit will have moved off of RF channel 23 by then. They were supposed to earlier this year.
