    Contract almost up

    They just locked us in for a year with a $50 monthly discount and one-time $40 credit. Also got a new Hopper since ours was acting up for several months. I didn’t push very hard because I was happy with that deal. Might have been able to get more but I was more concerned with getting a new Hopper.

    DirecTV removing Alexa Voice feature from devices

    Agree 100%. I’ve got a house full of Alexa devices and they’re connected to all kinds of my appliances including the Dish Hopper (works quite well) but if they start charging to use Alexa I’d drop it. We paid enough for these devices that there shouldn’t be a charge. I’d be pissed if they...

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    This is a follow up to my post from yesterday about resetting my password due to login attempts. I just received this a few minutes ago. Has anyone else had login attempts on their accounts since the Dish breach?

    HBO Max not working- says not subscribed any longer through dish

    Sign up with a secondary email address and take advantage of the 7 to 30 Day’s Free that most of these services offer. I’ve done it with Showtime. Instead of logging in through Showtime Anytime app with Dish authentication login to the Showtime app with your new email address. Its not a long...

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    I mentioned last week i’d had login attempts on some accounts that had to be a coincidence. Since then I’ve had login attempts at Apple and just today, ATT. That one triggered a lock and password reset email for too many attempted logins. Surely this is coincidental, right? I’ve had to reset my...

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    I’m so sorry for you guys not getting paid. This has turned into a fluster cuck of gargantuan proportions. I can live without authentication but man, not getting paid just sucks. Doesn‘t this seems like it could go on for quite a while longer? Like many more days? Maybe weeks? Best of luck all…

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    Is this a coincidence or not: My Vanguard account is locked for repeated login attempts. It wasn't me My GF's instacart has been locked down after repeated login attempts. It wasn't her. Maybe I'm just being paranoid as I can't imagine anything at Dish related to Vanguard or Instacart but it...

    Warner Bros - Discovery Getting out of Regionals!

    You guys are much more tuned in to this subject but I just saw my favorite hockey YouTuber post a video about it here: https://youtu.be/zEb1s7VBarY He says ATT Sports Net is announcing their shutdown along with others ending very soon. He also goes into the profitability of the regionals...

    Dish Loses 268,000 Pay TV Subscribers in Fourth Quarter

    Re: Dish losing subs. I wonder what Dish estimates as their sub shrink and does this fall within that projection? We’ll never know for sure unless it’s disclosed but there must be a number or range they plan for? I also wonder if they have an idea how many die hard subscribers they have that...

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    OnDemand is down for me. Every channel with OD and the Dish main OD all not working. Tried multiple resets including unplugging. Then came here and saw this. Seems like it’s related. EDIT: Dishscapes down too

    Damn right they have! ESPN 3 dropped curling and now I can't watch without tremendous hassle. :)

    Missing HD Channels on Dish. (Bluegras, this is for you)

    Mine is too. I didn't mean to imply MeTv is not on a sub channel but that OTA network provider has only 2 low bandwidth subs so MeTv looks very good. A couple other major network OTA's here have upwards of 4-5 subs including shopping and other higher bandwidth programming. When I watch those...

    Missing HD Channels on Dish. (Bluegras, this is for you)

    Ah yes, you are quite right and I stand corrected. I was confusing MeTV with TVLand as their programming is similar. MeTv is cropped OTA but I can fill the screen with zoom and the OTA pic quality is quite good to my eyes. Not blurry at all but I suppose your device and signal quality has an...

    How to Get Missing Guide Data for OTA Subchannels Like MeTV, Comet, Real America’s Voice

    I don’t think the tuners are great but they’re good enough. I get locals OTA and of course I wish there was better guide data but again, it’s not great but good enough. They’re comparable with all the built in tuners I’ve tested. I haven’t run across any I would consider great. My guide data...

    Dish adding "The Cowgirl Channel" on Feb 5th

    Woah…can’t wait (what a waste of bandwidth)

    Missing HD Channels on Dish. (Bluegras, this is for you)

    Another suggestion is TVLand is usually in HD on your local stations. If you have an antenna and get your locals from it you get TVLand in HD as well as all the other sub channels they offer.

    Guess not LOL Hadd to believe in 20 years I’ve never seen that but I don’t recall. Or my memory is shot! There’s a good chance of that

    Disney Networks Dispute Recitifed

    I guess I’m different because I think Disney blinked. With ESPN being so important this time of year I doubt they thought Dish would let the channels go offline. Dish likely put a lot of cards on the table especially about streaming and how it’s hurting linear badly. With the well known industry...

    Disney Networks Dispute Recitifed

    I believe most people want to watch it live which is why it doesnt impact my Hopper use. I do like the rewind feature though, I use that all the time on ESPN.

    Disney Networks Dispute Recitifed

    The vast majority of my Hopper use doesn't include ESPN or any Disney channels. We all have different habits but for me, especially when it comes to ESPN, I rarely record any of that content.

    Disney Networks Dispute Recitifed

    Yep. As much as I'm going to staunchly support Dish this is going to hurt them. Others won't be so forgiving and will leave. I'm watching YTTV right now and even if I have to pay for a month or two, or try Hulu Live, I'm going to stick with Dish. Im probably the exception though. Disney swings...
