    Mystery package from Dish

    I did. I contacted Dish, let them know that I was coming to the end of my pause period and that I have an ongoing construction project that prevents me from mounting the dish at the moment (which is true). The rep asked how long I wanted to pause for and then put me right back on a fresh...

    Mystery package from Dish

    The package is here and.... It was an empty box for me to return my Joey 2. No mention of my Hopper or 4K Joey. Since my account is on Pause, I'm not sure why they are asking for any equipment back, but it especially doesn't make sense to ask for just one receiver out of three. I chatted...

    Mystery package from Dish

    It got rescheduled. The package is out for delivery today. The suspense builds.

    Mystery package from Dish

    What if it is a voice remote INSIDE a return box??? Now that would really blow my mind! :cool:

    Mystery package from Dish

    I received a notification from UPS today that I have a package from Dish Network scheduled for delivery tomorrow. My service has been on Pause for nearly 9 months and I recently extended it another 9 months. Any guesses on what they are shipping to me???

    Why do I have Dish?

    I was in basically the same position as you as a long-time Dish subscriber and finally decided to sign up with Comcast and go on Dish Pause. I'm coming up on the end of my 9 month pause now and don't think I can justify going back to Dish. Comcast has everything I need, plus is significantly...

    Can I go on Dish Pause again?

    Yeah, that's really it for me. I'm perfectly happy without Dish for now, but I'm mostly interested in keeping my receivers and recordings preserved in case I decide to go back to Dish at some point in the next year.

    Can I go on Dish Pause again?

    I am currently on a 9 month Dish Pause that is set to expire somewhere around July. I am out of contract, so I would just be going month-to-month. After my service restarts in July, could I go right back on Dish Pause the next month, or are there limitations to how often it can be used?

    The Guide Doesn't Populate OTA Channels Very Well

    I am long past any commitment, so my decision will be made purely based on whether I want to continue with Dish.

    The Guide Doesn't Populate OTA Channels Very Well

    I am currently on Dish Pause and am still considering whether to allow my Dish subscription to re-up when the pause is over, but this is one of the key issues that may drive me away for good. Other than the major networks, OTA is almost unwatchable on Dish due to all the missing guide data...

    "Home Media" App removed?

    Android TV on all my TV's, either through their native apps or an Nvidia Shield Pro. It is definitely much more reliable than the Home Media app was. But I am also currently on Dish Pause and I'm getting all my content through Android TV apps. For the most part, I haven't missed Dish since I...

    "Home Media" App removed?

    I rely on DLNA quite a bit, but I always found the Hopper Home Media app to be a buggy mess. I finally gave up and moved on to other options. It became obvious that Dish wasn't going to dedicate any resources to supporting the Home Media functions, so I eventually gave up and moved onto other...

    PPV & Dish Pause

    I just tried it and it worked. My previously subscribed channels are all gone, but I ordered a PPV movie for $5.99 on the MyDish app and then I was able to tune to the channel on my Hopper and watch it. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

    PPV & Dish Pause

    After several months of wavering, I finally put my Dish account on pause earlier this week. Does anyone know if it is possible to order and watch PPV events while the account is on hold? Has anyone ever tried it? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

    My TV's are like a bad antenna reception.

    They can replace hardware all they want, but I don't think it is going to solve the problem. They are wasting the time of techs and customers by not addressing the underlying software issue.

    Joey pixelation

    I'm almost there myself. I can't believe we are still dealing with this, but I don't dare call Dish and waste my time with the general troubleshooting runaround, when we all know this is almost certainly a software issue.

    Video breakup on Joey caused by OTA adapter?

    That is interesting insight, but unfortunately not anything that I can act on. All my added OTA channels have relatively strong signals, but they aren't immune to the occasional blip. I'm almost to the point where I'm just going to unplug the OTA adapter and learn to live without it.

    Video breakup on Joey caused by OTA adapter?

    Has this been proven to work? Is it really a heat issue?

    YouTube sports

    Judging by this post, there is probably only one channel that you watch anyway.

    You can reboot the Hopper from the Joey, so you don't have to leave your bedroom. But I agree, I hope we get an update soon.

    Is the picture quality of a Joey 4K better than Joey 2.0?

    I wouldn't assume that the 4K Joey doesn't have the issue. That was my anecdotal experience, but my 4K Joey doesn't get used as often as my Joey 2.0, so it may just be that I haven't used it enough to run into the problem. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

    Add me to the list of users experiencing this problem on my Joey 2. I used to occasionally have the same issue related to my OTA adapter, but it always seemed to correlate with the start of an OTA recording. The latest issue is occurring at completely random times when there is no OTA activity...

    Joey hitching / requires Hopper reboot

    Increasingly over the past few months, the Joey 2.0 in my bedroom becomes unwatchable with the program freezing, hitching, and/or going in slow motion. Changing channels doesn't help, and rebooting the Joey doesn't fix it either. The only thing I have found that makes it work again is to reboot...

    Regional sports channels removed

    It was only a matter of time before the RSN's were gone. My question now is what does Dish do next? Do they continue to let other sports-related channels (Fox Sports, NBC Sports, CBS Sports, MLB Network, NHL Network, etc.) go as their contracts come up, assuming that the hardcore sports fans...
