Why streaming?

That Go Back glitch is extremely annoying. H399 soon.

I noticed the same rewind issue. New releases always bring new problems. I suppose H398 isn't too far off.

Being on H395 for a while, I checked to see if my H3 was updated to H396 and discovered I got H397 overnight.

I seem to recall the guide info for streaming channels going out to the same length as regular channels. Now, the streaming channel guide info goes out for only around two days. I suppose that's another "improvement" from one of the software updates.

I wonder how many Dish subscribers are currently on the EA?

What happens to those of us who are currently on the eastern arc? Will Dish send someone out to make the change?

I'm still on 389. I learned from experience never to force an update. It avoids a lot of problems.

In any event, when in the guide, the HD/SD designation still appears at the bottom of the program information box on the right. At least for now.

Allow me to venture a guess. They're going to change some SD channels to HD, and the ones they don't change will go to streaming.

Absolutely. I see no rational reason for eliminating the HD SD channel designations. Perhaps this was unintentional, since new software releases have inadvertently created bugs before.

Since I received the 388 I notice that in the guide listings the channels no longer designate which is HD. Did 388 do this, or has this been happening before and I just noticed it?

Confirmed. However, it seems you need H388

I agree. I don't find very much compelling content on any of these channels, and find the schedule many times doesn't sync with what's actually being shown. Then there are the commercials. I have to believe it costs Dish nothing to include these channels.

Whether it's OTA, cable, satellite, or streaming and how it's recorded is irrelevant. The issue is recording of content, and if it isn't used for commercial purposes, it's perfectly legal.

I don't believe there are any legal issues regarding recording content from streaming channels. That was made clear way back in the 70's when the courts ruled that people can legally use their VCR's to record content for private purposes.

I don't believe there are any legal issues preventing the recording of streaming content because other platforms have recording capability of the same content. Frndlytv is one example.

Same as the others, Scott. I looked at several streaming channels, and they all showed "no recording". H3 - H387. Is a software update required?

Is it my imagination, or are these updates coming with greater frequency?

For those like me who prefer the Dish 40.0 remote, they do kind of wear out where the buttons become unresponsive. But refurbishing them yourself is pretty easy. Look on YouTube for videos of the Dish 40.0 remote being refurbished. It won't eliminate various scratches, etc. but functionally...

Not to worry, I'm pretty sure H386 will fix the problems you find.

This may not be the correct thread, but I just read something about the Dish/Direct merger: "The original acquisition plan announced in September was contingent upon Dish debt holders agreeing to a $1.5 billion cut to the value of their investment. A group of those debt holders, however...

In Vegas, if they determine you're a consistent winner, they'll find a reason for ejecting you, usually claiming you're counting cards. But they sometimes they never provide a reason.

I wonder why no one commented on last month's Halloween Dishscape? I suppose no one thought it interesting enough.

The H3 lost its internet connection. Once restored, the guide info for the streaming channels returned. I should have known this, shame on me.
