    after 25 years I am gonna cancel Dtv.

    We just came from YTTV a little over a month ago. We much prefer everything about DTVS except the price, of course. But, at this stage in life money isn’t everything. While I like watching football, there is no way I would pay for Sunday ticket. Lots of complaints on the YTTV subreddit about...

    "TV anywhere" app ads

    Be happy you are not streaming and have to watch the “My Balls are Hot” commercial on Pluto!

    Thinking of coming back, AGAIN!

    OK, now the greed starts to raise its head. Are there any offers I can expect to be enticed with by DISH such as equipment and add on packages. Of course, if I cannot at least get what I had before, H3 and Joey4K, it’s all irrelevant because no matter what else they offer it wouldn’t be worth it...

    Thinking of coming back, AGAIN!

    Thanks. Started with the wireless Joey but because it was so wonky switched to a wired Joey4K and it cleared up all the problems we were having.

    Thinking of coming back, AGAIN!

    I still need a Joey for a second tv in another room, correct? Had the Joey4K last time.

    Thinking of coming back, AGAIN!

    The Hopper Plus was released shortly before I left and since I wasn’t nterested at the time I need to study up on it I guess. does DISH still have the DISH Anywhere availability? We travel a lot and that was great for us.

    Thanks. They had several pdfs concerning 1-3 yr agreements and others for new and returning customers.

    Thinking of coming back, AGAIN!

    Have been a customer that bounced back and forth between DISH & DTV for many years. A little over 4 months ago we finally cut the cord and became full time streamers. First with Sling, then very briefly with Hulu+live and currently with YTTV. Sling didn’t have all of our locals and Hulu’s UI...

    Spectrum goes all streaming

    I have six Firesticks just wrapped up and put in a plastic bag for emergencies. They were by far the most finicky hardware I used. Always having to worry about clearing the cache or running into problems of one type of another. Now I’m using the Roku Express+ 4K sticks and they are rock solid. I...

    Roku tv

    I have 3 TCL Roku TV’s and 2 Hisense.Google TV’s. I have Roku Express Sticks 4K attached To all of them. The base UI in all of them was a little clunky, thus the sticks. They obviously are not top level TV’s but they do provide a great bang for the buck. It will depend on if you have 4K...

    Disney-Charter battle highlights bundling demise?

    Never had Spectrum. Last cable provider was Time Warner. Then we bounced back and forth between DTV & DISH for many years. Finally cancelled DISH just last month and ended up going with YTTV. had experimented with it a few times since my daughter has it also. Since we are a couple of those old...

    Wow! They are persistent.

    Like just about every thread this one veered OT. It doesn’t matter one way or another if they read me the details on the Joey. I was just stating what happened when I called. I had been with DISH for many years and a member of this forum for that period. I knew there would be a termination fee...

    Wow! They are persistent.

    Called retention 8/17 to cancel my service. After 40 minutes on hold I finally ended up with a retention specialist. That’s when I realized I had messed myself up because I didn’t realize going from a wireless Joey which I had for years to a wired one due to the lag would start a new two year...

    More guide issues

    Should there be guide data in the dish anywhere app? Mine show the channels but no data info and when I try to click on them I get the message “no data forthe current listing”?

    Dish Preferred Customer

    I would be leery of the current validity in any of these. In just a brief view of the 2/3yr programs for existing customers I see no charges for Joeys in the 2 yr and none for the hoppers or joeys in the 3 yr one. I find it hard to believe DISH will just be comping them!

    Hopper 3 H341

    Thanks. I know I should have read the whole post but when they get up over a hundred replies and many of them having nothing to do with the post subject, I usually don’t.

    Hopper 3 H341

    Tried to force an update to 341 today with no luck! It went through the whole process of downloading and eventually rebooting only to come back still on H339.

    DISH Anywhere not working again! Go figure

    It’s been stable since my original complaint. There might have been an update to the tv, firestik or the app that caused the initial problem. Whatever it was is gone.

    Worked this morning! With all the different streaming services out there now, 5he only thing we really use it for anymore is our local news.

    DISH Anywhere not working again! Go figure

    Not even going to waste my time trying to get a live person on a phone call. It’s been two weeks since the last time we used this at our beach house. Came back today and tried to fire it up and I immediately got a screen telling me I needed to log in. Jumped thru the hoops to get that done and...

    Dish install tomorrow, No hard feelings YTTV…

    So basically, does the Hopper plus take the place of a roku/firestik/Apple TV?

    Thought my problem was with the Joey 3, but

    This is exactly what I did and it worked flawlessly last night. Will see how long it holds up but I’m backing everything up to my external drive just in case.
