    Alexa (Echo) Hopper integration

    So I have integrated voice commands through Alexa/Echo into my AV system including the Hopper. So I can say, Alexa, turn on mute and the TV mutes, or Alexa turn channel thirteen on (or Alexa turn NBC on) and it changes the hopper to channel 13. Or, Alexa turn on pause or turn on resume (play)...

    Dish new advertising campaign

    Sorry if this should be part of a different thread - mods merge it if appropriate. On page 22 of this mornings NYT, Dish has a full page hopper ad, accusing the networks of refusing to run it. The ad is it is not about skipping commercials, it is about having choice. The accuse the networks...

    So when did KBS World (9850) become KBS World Espanol

    Turned on KBS world to watch Glory Jane only to find that it is no longer the English version, but has been replaced with KBS World espanol. When did that happen or is it just a fluke?

    New Digital channel - PB&J

    Classic children's programs/cartoons/Roy Rogers, etc from Luken (the RTN people) Classic Media’s retro-cartoon channel: PB&J | Cartoon Brew: Leading the Animation Conversation Wonder if enough markets have free digital sub-channels to carry this one? I would actually rather this than CoolTV.

    Strange Guide Problem - local channels

    I know the issue with Tribune guide information and local channels has been discussed before, but could someone explain this. I am in the Albany DMA. During the winter months, I can reliably get some OTA stations to the east of me - wggb, wgby in Springfield and wuni in Worcester. Last yea,r...

    Barbara Billingsley - RIP

    Mrs Cleaver passed at 94. I think this leaves June Lockhart as the last iconic mother from black and white television.

    Guide question

    I have several channels in the guide, where the HD versio's program information is populated, but the SD version says No Information Available. For example, ABC Family in HD has full guide information, but ABC Familiy SD is not populated after one hour (just No Information Available). Same is...

    @DK in HD

    DK is advertising that they will be going HD soon. Do they even have HD content? How can they run only 15 or so series, many of which had less than 20 episodes, in a continous loop?

    What happened to VHF antennas?

    I have been looking for a good deep fringe VHF only antenna - it looks like I waited too long - they all seem to have been discontinued. I can get a UHF VHF combo crossfire rated to deep fringe and hook it up to the VHF terminal on the preamp, but it seems like such a waste. I have tried...

    Wierd Dish receiver OTA issue

    Dish and Freedom Corp disagreement heats up

    I assume this applies to other Freedom Corp stations - Albany Channel 6's manager has been on air telling viewers that Dish and CBS6 have been in negotiation for the HD signal for a while, but Dish executives do not seem to want to cut a deal. As a result, CBS6 will be pulling their SD...

    The Promise of Secondary Channels Not Fulfilled

    Secondary channels had a lot of potential - their programming is relatively cheap and they had a large potential distribution venue as stations were looking to fill their digital sub-channels. I had expected a number of variety type channels to emerge. Instead Variety went belly up and RTN is...

    Rain Fade VHF vs UHF

    Sorry for a simple question, but does rain normally increase UHF and scamble VHF channels? My strongest channels have been VHF. With Hanna approaching, I have lost them, but my UHF channels have increased in strength - in fact I am now getting UHF from 150 miles away in PA. Does snow have a...

    Stange Problem with 722 and OTA local

    I am having the strangest problem - not the biggest deal - but it has happened 4 -5 time in the last few days. I will be watching an OTA station on my 722. I will tune to (let's say) 106 and local OTA 17 will appear on the screen. The banner when I press info will be for 106 and when I press...

    Question about a new antenna

    Because it was unlikely that I would be getting a couple of my HD channels via Dish anytime soon, I had a crossfire antenna 3677 and channel master 7777 oreamo professionally installed. I live in a valley about 40 miles from the transmitters with lots of mountains between me and the towers. To...
