    Questions About Android TV amd Fire TV And 129

    I have been absent from this site for quite a while. I just noticed 129 is gone. Will the old 2 LNB dishes come back. Will they be an automatic "upgrade"? I currently have a Hisense Google TV (Android) Which I am not very happy with. Is there any reason I should be interested in the Hopper +? I...

    Cutting 1 Cord???

    The one I am looking seems to have a physical hard disk with 1000 hours of HD recording capacity and 24 tuners. I just thought I might get more accurate and reliable info here rather than from Cox.

    Cutting 1 Cord???

    After more than 20 years with Dish, I am considering cutting the cord. I live in a Mobile Home Park where the lease requires a monthly payment for Cox Cable TV. Dish just raised my fee again. It just might be the straw that broke the camels back. Does anyone here have any experience with the...

    I haven't had a landline in decades. I traveled full time in my RV for 10 years with 2 722s and later with Hopper. A landline would have been difficult. Currently have Hopper III it has never seen a landline.

    Channels that are included in Locals Only core package - Updated July 2022

    Other than taking the time to view each of these channels, how do mere mortals decipher what is on them, or weather it is worth our while to even tune in once.

    Help with 40 remote

    I will try waiting. but I think we may have already tried that. Also the volume button, in addition to adjusting the volume brings up a picture mode selection menu that doesn't go away. My solution, I ordered a new remote from Amazon for $7. When it arrives on Wednesday hopefully the problems...

    Help with 40 remote

    I finally broke down and called Dish tech support. They explained that no Dish remote is expected to operate more than on/off and volume. Any other functionality is accidental and may be corrected if they become aware of it.

    Help with 40 remote

    We just got a new Hisense 65U6G 4K TV. My wife uses and likes her Dish 40.0 remote. I can pair the remote, so it will turn the TV on and off and adjust volume. It will also display input menu and scroll down the menu. But it doesn't select the input for the Dish Hopper 3. It just highlights it...

    Poll: Fire Stick or Roku?

    I have several Roku TVs and a Roku stick they are the best smart TV interface I have ever had. Of course they are the only smart TV I have ever had. They do every thing I need and 10 times more except provide an actual web browser.

    Roku web browser?

    What is the cheapest easiest way to get a web browser on a Roku TV? I know that Roku doesn't support a web browser directly. I know I can use a Roku TV as a monitor for a computer. I am looking for a simple web stick to plug into my Roku TV. Does such an animal exist?

    Interesting (and sort of odd) conversation with rep

    What about the 50 in between?

    CBS and NBC are not available.

    If rabbitears.info says I can get one local channel I never heard of, and the other 50 or so channels range from Poor to Bad on their scale, does that suggest I would only be wasting time and money attempting to put up an antenna? I have previously checked antennaweb and even at 100 feet above...

    CBS Hopping

    First I seldom watch anything in PTAT folder. If I see something there that I care enough about to watch I save it to the regular folder so I don't have to worry about it being deleted until that little HDD fills up. That takes a month or 2. Then if I am watching the new network shows I don't...

    A question for 4K TV owners

    It's fun to read about all the nuances of this brand or model over that one. But my eyes and my wallet are not that great, so the 55" TCL ROKU 55" 4K TV I bought at Costco 2 years ago for $399 serves me just fine. So much so that I now also have 2 43" TCL ROKU TVs on my desk, connected to my...

    Commitment Date?

    How do I find my commitment date in MyDish.com? Or do I have to call to get it. Having been with Dish since the turn of the century and my memory for dates being what it was, I don't know if I am in or out of contract. I still remember a few months ago holding my little baby boy in my arms. Then...

    Cox TV DVR?

    Of course they will come back. They will simply all wear masks. The man in the iron mask, Mask, cowboy movies with everyone wearing masks, bank robbers with stocking masks, medical shows like OR. Where is your imagination?

    Cox TV DVR?

    The Contour DVR I was asking about claims to record 24 shows and up to 1,000 hours. I can NOT get OTA in the little valley where I live even though the San Diego Transmitters are less than 50 miles away. I have only been with Dish for about 20 years and my H3 hovers between 97% and 100^ full all...

    Cox TV DVR?

    I know this is the wrong forum to post this, but it seems to be the only one with any activity. In the mobile park where I live I am required to pay for Cox TV bundled onto my rent. They are in the process of renegotiating the monthly fee, LOWER and improving the channel lineup. What are the...

    New HD is here

    I remember when we got our first color TV. Only a few shows were actually broadcast in color everything else was still in black and white. And yes, NBC, one of the first to broacast in color only had one channel for B&W or color. If anyone had told my father that he would have to pay a monthly...

    External HDD size still 2tb?

    I have several 2 TB full of recordings. I used to be concerned about backing up my favorite series. I have noticed that I can't view all the current content until the break between seasons when nothing new is on the air. I have a brand new WD Red 6 TB drive that I haven't even removed from its...

    Fox Recordings

    I have also had the problem for years. Sometimes I can go to On Demand and find the show but not always. Why don't one of you just fix it?
