    Thinking cutting the cord

    That’s been my experience in past years depending on who I talked to. That’s why the last few times I used the DIRT team. This time when I went to cancel they realized I was serious and were offering me really great deals to try to get me to stay but in the end I feel streaming is more inline...

    Thinking cutting the cord

    This is the OP here. I called today and canceled. Dish has been nothing but great for the last 25 or more years. They really tried their best to keep me (offered some great deals) but for what use it for, YTTV is perfect and the more I use it the more I like it. And a bonus is no more hardware...

    Thinking cutting the cord

    So I’ve had my hopper unplugged for the last week and have YouTubeTV running on an AppleTV. The more I use it the more I like it. Live tv is great, no complaints. Recordings are good. My only issue with recordings is that a lot of the shows that I normally record are recorded as video on...

    Thinking cutting the cord

    You really shouldn’t take statements like this literally. It’s an easy way to describe going to internet based tv that everyone understands.

    Thinking cutting the cord

    Hmmm maybe it was mid 90’s I know I got it when it was first available for sale. I’ve been trying out YoutubeTV for the last few days. It’s not bad but it’s not great. The interface as has been mentioned isn’t the best. I guess I can live with it. I’ll try it for another week before making a...

    Thinking cutting the cord

    I’ve been a dish customer since the late 80’s and have been very satisfied. I just ended a two year customer loyalty contract (and auto pay and a hopper discount) that had me at $87 total for top 200 and a H3. I haven’t called yet but I doubt they will match that again. Last few times I got...

    OTA antenna not picking up certain networks

    I pulled out a compass and eyeballed it. Looks to be pointed at 35deg which would be correct for most stations. About the neighbors house. It is about 15ft away horizontally and has about 5ft of roof line in the way vertically.

    OTA antenna not picking up certain networks

    Would getting it moved be a priority or just "might" make a difference?

    OTA antenna not picking up certain networks

    What about the antenna being blocked by about 5 feet of my neighbors roof line?

    OTA antenna not picking up certain networks

    I'm new to the OTA scene and had Dish install one when we were having network disputes a few months ago. Since then I have't really used the OTA channels (I pay for locals). Every once in a while I would switch to one of the OTA channels and would not get reception. It is hit or miss. Sometimes...

    I’m underwhelmed. I’ve been watching the NBCSports App on my Samsung and it’s much better.

    625 Issues

    My Mom has a 625 and she called me and said: her guide only shows until Thur (2 days) She can't access her DVR Can't pause or rewind. I had her pull the power cord for a few minutes which didn't resolve it. Sh can watch live TV though. Any ideas on what is going on?

    4K/HDR Content

    Has anyone tried playing any downloaded HDR content? I tried streaming some sample videos over my home network but I just get a black screen with sound. I can't seem to stream any 4K content HDR or not) from my NAS to my Hopper 3. Not sure why. It's not a network issue because I can stream...

    4K/HDR Content

    It's nice to see Planet Earth 2 on ch540 but when are we going to see a dedicated channel or certain channels that make the switch to 4K completely? Also, is it possible for the Hopper 3 to be software upgradable to HDR or does it not have the correct hardware?

    Samsung KS8XXX calibration settings

    That video reference is good for high quality sources but not from the lower res source of the Hopper (1080i). I find the settings in that video (and from rtings.com) give much too soft a picture.
