    CANCELED DISH

    We recently cancelled, paid $220 due to months left on the contract. They did ask for the LNBs but when I said I couldn't do that, not another word was mentioned about it. Felt strange to cancel as we've been dish customers since about 1997. But the times, they are a-changing in general and...

    Yeah, it's definitely for the kiddos. No big deal, I'm glad to leave it for them so long as I don't have to spend time looking at it.

    I don't think there's a dish in the Yosemite scene.

    I can't promise it is accurate, but someone posted screenshots of their Shazam music search matches for the songs in this Facebook Dish Scapes group thread. You can't listen to the music but you can see the names of the songs, artists, etc...

    It might be interesting knowing what the one letter a month is spelling. So far we have "22SEP".

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    We're not big fans of the music either. Having said that, we don't like scenes with "sudden" nature or other types of sounds. Often we like having the channel on just for ambience and sudden noises don't help with that. Either way, after watching for a while we usually turn the volume way...

    why won't Dish fix their idiotic guide issues?

    Houston is a mess: 11.4 (which carries CBS primary) has no listings (apparently the guide populates if you can receive 11.1) 20.1 shows the listings for 26.1 (Fox) 39.1 (WB) shows the listings for 2.1 (NBC)

    Dish Retention No Longer Offering A Discount

    I've been under the impression that they tell you the price is going way up to get you to call, agree to a small increase with another 2 year contract. Thats what I did a couple of months ago. But maybe that has changed.

    That's Bigfoot climbing the rope. He can also be seen off to the right in the distance walking along.

    On the Dish Scapes group on Facebook the Dish person said they heard the many requests and have restored record and play back.

    The no record/pause thing just seems unreasonable to me. Why should dish care whether I back up to see something better? It just frustrates me a bit and takes away some of the fun of watching it.

    Houston OTA Channel 11 - no guide

    Thanks for the clarification - quite reasonable for those who have Sling/Internet connected to their Hopper 3.

    Houston OTA Channel 11 - no guide

    That's downright unhandy. You get on the internet to look at program listings. You find a program you want to record. You go to the Hopper, click on DVR then TIMERS then OPTIONS then CREATE A TIMER. You then enter the CHANNEL, FREQUENCY, DATE, TIME, and then CREATE. Or - they put up a...

    Houston OTA Channel 11 - no guide

    Frankly, not having a guide for a channel takes you back to the old VHS days. You have to go online to find out what programs are on that you want to record, then you have to set up a manual timer to record them. The case might be made that it was easier to set up a timer on an old VHS box...

    I'm just doing that and having several guide issues - described here: Houston OTA Channel 11 - no guide

    Houston OTA Channel 11 - no guide

    No, I get 11.4 and then 11.11. Neither of them list the programming.

    Houston OTA Channel 11 - no guide

    Thanks for the replies. I'll use one of the many guides that are correct on the internet and set up manual recordings.

    Houston OTA Channel 11 - no guide

    Is there a fix for this? Houston's channel 11.11 is the KHOU regular broadcast channel. However, the Dish program guide doesn't list the programming. In this photo, I show the Dish locals (which is correct) and the OTA listing (which shows nothing). We're getting ready to drop local's...

    They had a contest in the dish scapes Facebook group (counting the balloons). That's when they removed the ability to record, back up, etc. Who knows it may be back next month.

    I think they did that on purpose. They don't want people recording them - instead, they want them to pay the extra $5 a month to get Gallery.

    Dish "Pause"

    Picking up on this older thread - I was told by the retention guy today that I can pause the account up to 9 months - then, if I need to extend the pause again I can do so. I don't think I had ever understood that I can link "pauses" together to keep the account paused a longer amount of time.

    For a few seconds I see the number 2 appearing on the Eiffel Tower during the flashing lights. Last month it appeared in the sky just before the northern lights. Anyone have a guess as to what this is about?

    We've been counting the hearts in the scene. So far about 28: base of the fountain, pavers, chairs, flowers...a bunch more.
