    What’s keeping you guys with Dish Network…

    I just like switching on the TV, and use the guide too see what's on, I could go with Sling or YTT, but at least with Dish I know what I get and can record shows on the spur of the moment, also pausing programs, Wilhelm I do that with Firesticl most times I either have to start all over again or...

    ROKU STICK OR FIRE STICK

    I have both Roku and Firestick, Firestick had better picture quality on my TV, but with updates on the Roju I can't tell the difference. But yeah definitely better than trying to use apps on the H3.

    Cutters Q&A: Sling VP on Why You Can’t Just Move DISH Customers Over to Sling TV

    Ah yes, But DTV is or was owned by AT&T they own their own internet backbone and can distribute streams for a lot less than Charlie (Echostar/Dish/Sling) could ever think of doing it for. The of course there's distribution agreements with the channel owners.

    H366 is out

    I just checked and found out I have 366, usually don't get updates right away but lately they've been coming in more often and more of the latest update. It took eons before I got 345 but since then it's been updating quite often. I have a H3 and a wireless Joey w/Access Point. I haven't checked...

    More Cable Channels are about to end due to cord cutting

    If only some of those channels would show better programming, SyFy could use better shows, but NBCU thinks that Wrestling is what SyFy fans want. FXX and FXM need better shows, FoxSports2 I watch or Record my Aussie Rules footy on but most of the matches they show are with unpopular teams, and...

    Time for another subscription increase

    Yes my WIFE has a "Gun pointed at my head" if I dare switch providers where all the channel #'s are different and the remote. Trying to switch to Sling maybe next year.

    Time for another subscription increase

    Meanwhile Dish continues to charge us ridiculous DVR and monthly receiver fees. If that isn't just pure profit, especially on those of us who own our equipment.

    Here we go again, Hearst tv group is gone

    Well without getting into political discussion the networks have been bending over backwards trying to appease politicians particularly of a certain party, but not exclusive to that,party and the politicians in turn, make sure the networks are taken care of. One just has to look at what's going...

    Credit check

    Now that's an organization that probably has a file on every person on this planet on its servers. I've known people who've worked there, but I don't think they do credit reporting.

    Date when Dish stops broadcasting SD stations/data? Mar 2023?

    Yes I remember the big Disney/ABC/ESPN Dish Dispute, all Disney channels were gone for months I recall, when they returned only a couple of them were in HD, as opposed to prior to the dispute I think all of them were in HD.

    Date when Dish stops broadcasting SD stations/data? Mar 2023?

    Well isn't it up to the TV Channel's/Stations themselves to broadcast in HD, I don't think all Channels broadcast in HD.

    Tailgater issues after 129 retirement. (Western Arc issue only)

    why not set the receiver for Dish 500 as it only uses 110/119 , I have a 211k collecting dust that is still on my account, but it's no longer activated if l connect it to a Dish 500. Will it update software if its not activated?

    No local channels

    Do you subscribe to locals? 119 and 110 are the main satellite locations now, 129 has been decommissioned. All channels on 129 were moved to either 110 or 119.

    H360 on H3 has arrived

    My H3 Updated to 358 overnite, from 344. I don't see any differences so far. So I guess 358 is the stable release now?

    Should you reuse old coaxial cable?

    Most likely RG11 Cable and it's usually Copper Clad Aluminum, as the signal would just use the outside of the cable so it just uses the copper coating over the aluminum wire. Same as most RG6 cables nowadays it's much more cost effective. Cable CO's use RG11 from pole to pole and RG6 from Pole...

    Playmaker and Wally

    You'll need to find 110 as 129 is no longer broadcasting any signals as Dish decommissioned it. So all channels are moved to 110 and 119.

    Software updates

    You would think so, they're still compatible with existing satellites. And good for tailgating.

    With 129 gone, who is best?

    It wasn't a question. It was just a statement.

    With 129 gone, who is best?

    Next Best? So there's only 2 main satellites now if you're not into international @118 (I don't even know if that's still up?) I'm pretty certain 110/119 will be the mainstays of Dish. I guess Dish leased 129 because 148 was way out there and would require a separate dish that they needed to...

    Compatibility of DPPH 3 sat head with Dish 1000 arm

    You would be better off getting a 1000.2 Dish, w/hybrid lnb a big 1000 dish has a different focal point than 1000.2 which a hybrid is made for. So it's not just the arm. Unless you have an old 1000.2 fish and not the 1000+ dish I think you're talking about with the 119/118 lnb. ? If it's just a...
