    Cable And Satellite Providers Required To Disclose “All In” Pricing Under Newly Passed FCC Rules

    I AGREE. DISH explained it years ago on one of the Charlie Chats. So unless it has changed, Programmers charge for each access point. Cable still charges per outlet, at least here. And guess what, streaming is moving closer to that structure. Many have or will severely limit how many at one...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Not necessarily that they would shut down if they go to bankruptcy. It could make it easier to keep going... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JJO-cdhEGw

    What format is used on external Wally drives

    You need to try a different external drive and see if that works. If not it may be a Wally problem.

    2 local channels removed

    You could try Direct TV or Spectrum. OH..... they both have channels off in disputes too.... It isn't just DISH is my point it is the networks wanting more money and witholding service if they do not get it. Carriers are already losing subs over cost (mostly) so as DISH learned long before now...

    ROKU STICK OR FIRE STICK

    If you are going to get a Firestick, which is my recommendation for the reasons already given, get it now. The firestick is Android based and for me both of mine work very well overall. But Amazon is not using Android anymore and in the new one coming out, they are using their own operating...

    Circle TV is shutting down 12/31

    This was announced a few months ago, and the Tampa channel that carried it already replaced it when the new season began this year. Bottom line they find streaming will be more cost effective than a 24hr network that needs to be carried. They don't need the rights to older tv shows they filled...

    Republic Wireless shutting down as Dish moves customers over to Boost Infinite

    Tethering is a big deal in the mobile phone service. It is allowing you to connect a device not having cell service to get internet from your device that does have it at no cost. I use it ALL the time for by tablet when not at place with good wifi. My cell service is fast just about anywhere I...

    Server Issues - 12/6/23

    Still having problems getting both into the site, and opening conversations. Getting in is hit and miss. When I can't get in, instead of satelliteguys.us/xen/ I drop the XEN and that gets me in (and fast) even though I still end up with the address satelliteguys.us/xen/ Since yesterday I can't...

    What going on with Dish?

    Agree there is no reason to buy DirectTV, if there ever was. What would DISH a company facing big problems do with another Company also facing big problems, with very different equipment and frequencies. If Direct TV were not also losing so many customers then maybe yes, buy it and replace the...

    ShopHQ back (again) but...

    If not for a twist not really news. ShopHQ who has plenty of money issues of their own has been on and off Dish a few times. It is coming back again but of all things, not during prime time Mon -Thurs. Their surprise big deals, some special pricing shows are only during that time. So strange...

    Link TV No Longer on Dish

    PBS mentioned it a few days ago. There may be some similar programming made available but not widely distributed. (Whatever that means)

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    YOU get it. Some flawed thinking in the preceding threads. Some indeed take liberties in taking the revenue sharing and not spending on improving the team. WORSE some trade away very good players who would be due a bigger salary that they could sometimes pay, but there is no real attempt to keep...

    Can Anyone Explain My Latest Bill?

    Best I can determine judging what you paid last month, and the pro-rated credit - They are giving you a $77.99 credit on the Top 200, but mistakenly then added back the $102 so charged twice for it. One without a pro rate and once minus the pro rate.

    Dish hacked again or closed?

    Couple of things I notice are not right. "Your offer is available to update on 07/29/23 or you can remove them today" "Most Recent Bill Due Date 07/17/23" "Most Recent Payment Date 07/18/23" "Service Period 10/14/23 - 11/13/23" (correct) The amount of my most recent payment amount is not...

    Dish hacked again or closed?

    You seem quite happy people who use the service and work there have to go through this. :coco

    Dish hacked again or closed?

    Smells like a hack again with near everything shut down or unreachable, I sure hope not.

    Hopper 3, how in the world can I view/manage recorded movies with the same name?

    Real DISH users don't read manuals and instructions. They come here and ask to get the right answers! ;)

    From Satellite Talk to a Thriving Community: SatelliteGuys Turns 20!

    19 years, 364 days ago I came from a different site and had no idea if this site would be around long. Most everything I may have learned and know about DISH came from discussions here over the years. When I lived in Connecticut I was invited with others to Scott's house for barbecue's and we...
