    OECFiber in Oklahoma

    That right there is the issue with Cox. You have some competition in your area so you get 250/250 for $58. Those us who's only "competition" is 6M AT&T DSL... Cox rakes us over the coals. $119.99 for 940/35, you can get it down into the $80's if you really try. When I called last week due to it...

    OECFiber in Oklahoma

    Thanks. Turns out I should have waited about an hour to ask this question. They are laying fiber across the street right now. I assume they will do my side of the street next. Luckily this isn't Ma Bell I am dealing with - it's a local electric co-op with much less bureaucracy. I share your...

    OECFiber in Oklahoma

    For those that got OEC Fiber, approximately how long was it from the time they started marking your area until you were able to buy service? They've been on the pole about 6 houses down my street for over a year now. Last week, they marked the utility easement in our backyards for the entire...

    DISH Anywhere

    I still can't log back into HBO (and likely anything else that authenticates through Dish). I'm trying to be sympathetic due to the reason, but at some point I have to acknowledge that I am not getting the services that I am paying for.

    DVR getting more useless (less accurate)?

    I had the same issue with old episodes being recorded as new. It was right this week though.

    DVR getting more useless (less accurate)?

    I am seeing this alot as well. Times that worked last season with the exact same name and channel are having to be re-created this season.

    DVR getting more useless (less accurate)?

    I guess they are stepping up their game, has been a very rare issue until the last few months. Their loss, now I just don't watch those shows at all

    DVR getting more useless (less accurate)?

    So is it the networks causing this?

    DVR getting more useless (less accurate)?

    Anyone else noticing that the DVR is becoming less effective? Not sure if Dish or the guide provider or someone else is to blame, but I regularly have shows that are airing new episodes, but the timer doesn't pick them up. Shows include most shows on Smithsonian Channel, Battlebots (on...

    Dish anywhere won’t stream in HD

    I will say that I fired up my fire stick in a hotel this morning, hadn't used it in a few weeks. There was an app update, and picture quality looks pretty good on it. I was watching Comedy Central, and could not pause/rewind/fast forward though. Not sure why someone would restrict this - this...

    Dish anywhere won’t stream in HD

    Thank you for the reply. Yes, the tablet originally in question is a 10" tablet. If I can be a beta tester for any versions that potentially fix this, please let me know.

    Dish anywhere won’t stream in HD

    I have observed it on my router. When streaming, my data upload matches my data download nearly exactly (no other devices in the house doing anything besides idle traffic which is minimal) It is a huge risk to those without unlimited data, or with slower connections where this might saturate...

    Dish anywhere won’t stream in HD

    Yep. And I am pretty sure that now it ignores being on your home network, and sends traffic externally before coming back in. You'd think picture quality would be one of the core/top functions of this app. 1 step forward, 20 steps back I guess.

    Dish anywhere won’t stream in HD

    I am aware of that. As I mentioned, speed is not the issue as I am on the local LAN which is more than sufficient. At best, DA uses about 8Mb when streaming based on past tests.

    Dish anywhere won’t stream in HD

    I played it for 10 mins or so. It does improve, but nowhere near HD quality. Text at the bottom like a news ticker is barely readable.

    Dish anywhere won’t stream in HD

    Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I just ran into this as well, an a new Android device. I'm local on my network, same room as my router, and it works fine on other devices. Speed isn't the issue. However, the new device will only stream in what looks like SD. I can't find any setting to...

    Mayans on FX

    It was pretty bad on the last season of Mayans for me, and also seeing it on The Old Man as well. It seems to happen mostly when the scenes are especially dark/at night. Can't remember if it happened on the Bill Clinton show to. VERY annoying but I don't have the patience to call Dish and go...

    Dish Anywhere worked great last week while on vacation

    I haven't ran into a place that blocked it yet (except China). Onboard a flight isn't possible due to bandwidth - which is why the offline viewing app would be very nice. When on the ground with a good connection, the website will do, but the app (Fire or Android) does seem to be MUCH more...

    Dish Anywhere worked great last week while on vacation

    Dish anywhere is very inconsistent - most of the time it works decent - sometimes great, and sometimes not at all. I primarily use it via a Fire Stick when travelling too - so I hope they continue to have this app available in the Amazon environment. The only thing I'd like to see in the...

    Dish was working fine. Then all of a sudden turn TV on and No recepetion

    I had this issue a few months back. Turned out to be a bad cable coming out of the LNB. Was shocked, but it was an easy fix and got me back up without paying for a service call.

    Dish Anywhere update 7.0.3 issues

    I hate the new app - just like I hated the website change a while back. In addition to just not being user friendly (the old app was just fine), this new version now sends all traffic out to the internet and back, even when I am on my LAN - just like the website. I fear this is going to come to...

    Dish Anywhere streaming quality

    On the latest PC version it goes out of your network and back in.. limited by upstream bandwidth. The fire stick keeps it all on your LAN (so far)

    CBS On Demand is active!

    This is great. It's a pain to watch CBS shows when they get interrupted or delayed by other stuff. Just the current season is fine with me.

    New DISHANYWHERE Player Discussion

    Yes they are. Both are hardwired. Horrible news. The Android/Fire TV app actually works pretty well. My go to travel setup for hotel rooms is a fire stick with the DA app, gives me roughly the same experience as being home.

    New DISHANYWHERE Player Discussion

    The new player appears to go outside of the network and back in even when on the same LAN. Noticed mine was buffering more than usual, so I started watching traffic on my router. When streaming, upload and download throughput is pretty much symmetrical. Great.. now my streaming in my own...
