    No internationals in English!

    I have noticed that the international packages only offer stations in languages other than English. This means we have no way to get stations from Canada, the U.K., or Australia that we might want. I realize there are likely copyright issues preventing these stations from being carried, but I...

    Hopper with Sling vs Hopper 3

    I have an offer from Dish that I can upgrade from my current VIP 612 to a Hopper with Sling for no installation charge. Since both the Hopper with Sling and the Hopper 3 carry a fifteen dollars a month charge I wonder why I would want the Hopper with Sling over the Hopper 3 other than the free...

    Daily Show Not Recording

    For the past several weeks The Daily Show on Comedy Central is not recording about half the time. I'm using a VIP 612 and have the timer set to record new shows only. Sometimes the day before the guide shows the show as set to record, but when the time comes the record symbol is gone. Is...

    Is upgrading (VIP 612 to Hopper Duo) worth it?

    I've been using a VIP 612 since I first subscribed to Dish in 2011. I lived in NH at the time but now live in Florida. What I've discovered here in FL is that I frequently lose signal during the summer thunderstorms. So I'm wondering if upgrading to a Hopper Duo would help with the situation...

    Not recording two shows at same time on 612

    I have a VIP 612 receiver, and have a problem on Saturdays where I have two shows recording at the same time. The start times happen to be one minute apart. What happens is frequently the receiver will schedule both recordings on the same tuner, and will then resolve the issue by cancelling...

    Audio low on BBC World News

    I just switched to Flex with News, so I now have the BBC World News channel (281). I notice that the audio volume on this channel is substantially lower than the other channels on Dish. I can of course turn up the volume on my TV when watching this channel, but if I then change channels I get...

    True Cost of Flex Pack?

    When I chatted with a rep a month-or-so ago I was told the cost of the Flex Pack (without any additional channel packs) was $34.99. Since then I have seen ads in the paper for the Flex Pack for $39.99, and from the channel lineup shown in the ad it seems to include the Locals Pack. So which is...

    Roku CanadaTV App

    Well, not satellite, but a new way to apparently legally watch Canadian TV in the US: I recently found (in the US) an app for Roku called CanadaTV. It only gives you three feeds of the Global network plus the CityTV morning show and a French language channel. It costs $1.99 a month to...

    NEW Card Ready

    I'm running a Bell 4700 in New Hampshire. Until last Tuesday everything was fine, until about 10 PM I lost signal, error 15. I After checking the connections (I had voltage at the LNB) I concluded the LNB was bad, so I ordered a new LNB from a dealer on eBay. Today I installed the new LNB, no...

    Senior Discount?

    Since I recently became 65 years old, I am wondering if Dish offers a senior citizen's discount like a lot of other businesses do?

    OTA Subchannels Stretched Vertically on 612

    The title pretty much says it all. I'm using a 612 receiver connected to the TV via HDMI, and when I watch a .2 or .3 subchannel the picture is stretched vertically so that the top and the bottom of the picture is missing. When I watch the same suchannel with the antenna connected directly to...
