Well, I've not been here in a few years as I'm no longer a DISH customer. However, my 96 year-old grandmother is and I'm trying to help her economize her DISH package. She simply wants to get Buzzr, Game Show Network, and USA plus her locals. She's been a customer for probably 20 years. When I...

I have a VIP211k receiver and am wondering if my DISH package (the Welcome Pack) can be viewed on a streaming app? I have read - in some cord-cutting forums - that it can be done with an Amazon Fire streaming device - but not Roku. I have a couple of Roku devices, but would likely purchase a...

This is probably a very dumb question, but I have looked and looked (and looked some more) at all the available tools (that I can see) but I cannot find how to delete one or multiple conversations. I see every other action to inflict on a conversation, EXCEPT delete. Am I blind as a bat, or...

I have a DISH remote that will operate the 211/211k/211z/411. My question pertains to its TV (not receiver) functions. Is there a way for the remote to control the TV's inputs? You know, the input control for composite cables (for a VCR), HDMI1, HDMI2, etc. Thanks!

I've been mulling over the following to lower my monthly DISH bill and I want to run this by you folks to see if I am correct. I currently have ONE 722k and ONE 211k with an EHD (External Hard Drive). If I drop the 722k, then the 211k becomes the primary (sole) receiver on the account. If so...

Wow, the things that make you go hmm....I do believe Dave Shull had some involvement when WeatherNation's predecessor The WeatherCast lasted less than 5 days on DISH about 5 years ago when there was a Weather Channel carriage fiasco. Now, Dave has defected to "them"...BTW, my tone should...

There is likely no real reason/answer as to "why" I had a DVR hiccup on my 722k late last week. But, I am always curious to see if others have had similar experiences. First, the timer setup: For "The Young and the Restless"; TV2; WBTV-3-CBS; Mon-Fri. I also have a timer setup for "The Big Bang...

At the risk of having padlocks being thrown my way (ducking my head as I am typing this), I am simply CURIOUS! Is Fox Business Network (FXB) currently unavailable? I have read that the new Fox-Dish agreement provides that FXB will be available in AT120 - previously only in AT200-up. While I am...

Is there a problem with audio? It appears my stream has connected and is working as the "Now Playing" window has indicated 3 different songs since I supposedly connected. BTW, everything is un-muted and speakers are turned up - I was just listening to totally different stream prior to SG-R.

FIRST - don't turn this into a locked thread! Play nice :oldsmile2 ! According to FOX, Dish has lost 90, 000 subscribers over the Fox News Channel carriage dispute. Read the article below from Multichannel News...

At the time of this post I am at home and I was going to the request page to make a request - I have not been on here since yesterday and THAT was at work - so this is my first visit to the request page at home. So, I am seeing some guy's name Brian who has requested Madonna's "Live to Tell" and...

This week, the WGN News has disappeared from its national audience - http://www.robertfeder.com/2014/02/05/wgn-9-p-m-news-loses-national-platform/

Anyone have info regarding Glenwood Communications Corporation acquisition of Kingsport's Holston Valley Broadcasting? This involves Holston's WKPT-TV ABC-19 along with its roster of radio stations in NE Tennessee and SW Virginia. It appears this could be a simple restructuring or re-naming of...

Asheville's Rock 104.9 WQNS is moving its COL (Waynesville to Woodfin) and shifting to a new frequency (104.9 to 105.1) Thursday at 5:01pm. Eric

I am extremely frustrated. After a delay in shipping, I finally got the WD My Book 1TB EHD directly from the WD Online Store - via the link in the EHD section of DISH's website. I have discovered that only one end of the provided cable works - the end that goes into the EHD. The other end is not...

I'm going through an installation hassle right-now - and DISH is the problem, not the tech. But my simple question is this - I know a 211 can be connected via coax to a TV set and it also has built-in OTA? Is the 211k the same in this regard? Thanks, Eric

Has anyone heard about this? Exxon is suing News Corp. over the FXX logo - the channel that launched Sept 2. More info here: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-exxon-sues-fxx-logo-20131003,0,1218566.story Yep, I can understand the confusion..."Honey, give me the...

I am just wanting verification...for the price I HOPE this EHD will work, but I'm thinking the fact that this EHD is "USB-powered" would make it incompatible with DISH's non-Hopper DVRs, correct? Here's a link to the EHD -...

If sports is such a valuable commodity, then why are ESPN's ratings down - according to this report? http://deadspin.com/espns-july-ratings-are-down-too-967158007 Sports fans (I am not one), do you have an answer as to the ratings drop? If ratings continue dropping, shouldn't the Mickey...

Probably doesn't REALLY mean anything (like an impending change, etc), but I just noticed in the last few days that channel 214 now displays as WEATH instead of TWC. Were customers thinking this was the Time-Warner Cable channel? :D Eric

There must be a fee list somewhere, but I cannot find it. I have searched the DISH site, plus a forum search here - because I've seen a link to such a list in the past around here. This frustrates me for new customers who get many freebies at sign-up, then are shocked by all of the fees when...

First, I contacted DIRT the other day to ask what signal strengths I should be getting. To summarize my issue (which may not be an issue), it's seems as though recent "rain fade" events for me have lasted longer than they have in the past. Although, it's normal to experience "rain fade" that...

I have had a 722k with OTA module for over 2 years. Every month or two, I routinely re-visit the "local channels" set-up and re-scan just to see if any new channels appear. Or to see if - by chance, by some miracle - it helps populate guide data for channels that don't have that info. Well, I...

I just discovered this feature and either I've had my head in the sand or this is a new feature in the latest release currently being discussed in another thread. Yesterday at 1:45pm, I turned on (or awakened from standby) TV1 of my 722k. The tuner was already on WSOC-TV channel 9 Charlotte. At...

While my wife and son have embraced the Smartphone world, I have not nor do I anticipate doing so. I "fat finger" the keys on those touch screens and I'm simply happier with my "old man's" flip phone - I'm 45 years old. I am finding that flip phones seem to be getting harder to find. I can even...
