    Dish Stock Falls As Pay-TV Subscriber Losses Accelerate, Profit Beats

    Honestly, the mods need to put you in time out. It's trolls like you that ruin this forum and dissuade people from sharing their thoughts. I offered my experience as a 20-year dish subscriber and you've done nothing but attack me because I had the nerve to try something new for a few months...

    Dish Stock Falls As Pay-TV Subscriber Losses Accelerate, Profit Beats

    All the channels broadcast in 1080P can be received in 1080P, at least that has been my experience so far. I am able to set that as the speed in the app and the picture looks amazing upscaled to 4K. Obviously, Disney-ABC networks chose the 720P standard and don't broadcast in 1080P. I've been...

    Dish Stock Falls As Pay-TV Subscriber Losses Accelerate, Profit Beats

    1. I've never had an issue with it not working, unlike rain fade and having to climb on the roof to remove snow from my dish (Which is weekly in Northern Maine for six months of the year). I literally just set a ladder on the side of the house to make my trudge up there with a broom. No use...

    Dish Stock Falls As Pay-TV Subscriber Losses Accelerate, Profit Beats

    The Youtube TV DVR is quite a step up from the heated mechanical brick that is the Hopper 3. It's unlimited, free and never needs to be rebooted. It doesn't even use electricity. It just exists in the cloud and records everything I want and everything it thinks I want. The algorithms are quite...

    Dish Stock Falls As Pay-TV Subscriber Losses Accelerate, Profit Beats

    I don't see Dish surviving the onslaught of 5G and LEO satellite internet coming online over the next 5-10 years. They will either adapt or die. I just dumped my $130 per month sub (Hopper 3 + Joey + AT250) because I couldn't watch the Celtics. The side effect from that move was $90 a month in...

    DISH to work with the Google Assistant

    For science I did try relinking again and finally got it to change a channel after telling it what room I was in, what device I wanted to change the channel on and what channel I wanted to change to....but it still breaks harmony and smartthings making it useless in my household. Also, the...

    DISH to work with the Google Assistant

    Your Dish account is paired to the account(s) listed in your google home app. There are no other settings or options. Edit: So to be clear, it doesn't pair to devices but rather to your master account which is generally your gmail account.

    DISH to work with the Google Assistant

    I'm already back to using Alexa. First of all, it breaks Smartthings (harmony) functionality so I can no longer turn on/off TVs or control volume. Half the time it says it can't do that or asks me what device (and I tell it to no avail). The rest of the time, it just starts playing something on...

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    Ok, thanks. That actually makes me feel better about the situation. It just assumed it was part of their plan rather than a technical limitation. It is blinding! The white literally hurt my eyes from 12' back.

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    Sure, I DVR most things as well, but not live sporting events. It's no fun for me to watch something where I already know the result. I can't feasibly stay off the internet, not watch TV and avoid talking to people for the rest of February. The vast majority of people want to watch the...

    Dish 4K coverage is going to he delayed a day...making it mostly worthless. Dish, DirecTV and Comcast will deliver Winter Olympics in 4K HDR

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    Just a note, D* is doing 4K HDR w/ Dolby Atmos next day on demand. It would be worthless to me as I don't have the internet to support it anyway.

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    I watched part of the 4K college game yesterday and no, THAT 4k does not live up to the hype. A 1080P blu-ray would blow the PQ of that broadcast away. It was very disappointing, with visible compression artifacts upon close inspection on my 65" Vizio P. Unless satellite providers are able to...

    NBC Sports Boston

    It's very frustrating that there are no legal options for me to watch the Celtics and remain with Dish, unless of course I switch to their sling platform, save $75 a month and cut the cord. It's like Dish is actually trying to force me to give them less money so that I can watch the channels I...

    A solution! Ok, I'll try that. Thanks.

    After I dig for and find the remote. And then an hour later, because I cancelled the update it tries to update again.

    Or they could fix it. Why have a system in place that causes frustration to the end user for no reason?

    Updating remote message

    I have harmony elite remotes for my Hopper and Joeys. Sure...you can cancel it...and then it just comes back - as you cancelled the update it seems to desperately need. Honestly, they just need to make this happen in the background. There is no reason it has to be a full screen takeover that...

    Updating remote message

    I really think the Dish UI designers are missing a great opportunity to make this more annoying. Maybe have it pop up more frequently and have it last longer? There is nothing like being sucked into your favorite TV show only to have to wait 5 minutes while a giant pop up blocks out the screen...

    YouTube App Debuts on Hopper 3

    Accidently had my google home cast to it today, but have yet to be able to replicate it. The google home app does not find the dish youtube app as a streaming device - as of yet - but clearly there was a circumstance that I created in which it did work. In this case, both my google home and...
