    Cox Media Group Removes Local Channels From DISH

    It was congress who allowed it. That law would have to be repealed, too much lobbyist money to allow that to happen.

    Dish 2022-23 Price Increase

    Or you go with the ad supported versions. $4.99 ea for both Peacock and Paramount+ and $7.99 for Hulu. Add Philo for $25/month and you have a very nice cable package for $42.97/month. A better deal than either the Welcome Pack or Flex Pack

    That's fine. To each their own. I was just passing along information.

    Using Channels DVR with Dish Anywhere as a source

    You will get an e-mail when the Playon Cloud recording is finished and you'll get another one about a day before it is deleted from the cloud server.

    Using Channels DVR with Dish Anywhere as a source

    Like mentioned earlier there is Playon Cloud. Video is recorded onto the Playon Servers. You have 7 days to download it to a pc or mobile device, or you can rent cloud space from Playon and stream to another device like a phone, tablet or android tv stb. I know with Playon Desktop you can...

    Using Channels DVR with Dish Anywhere as a source

    Playon is being replaced with Playon Desktop. $39.99 per year. Lifetime has not been updated since October. I converted my lifetime to the new system and got 3 months for free. It sucks, but they said they needed to go in this direction because they couldn't afford to spend time and money...

    Dish and DirecTV once again in talks despite antitrust.

    Gee, that $7+ billion would have paid for a pretty big infrastructure footprint for Dish.

    Dish and DirecTV once again in talks despite antitrust.

    Still doesn't excuse them for not starting to build from the start.

    Dish and DirecTV once again in talks despite antitrust.

    Maybe if they started with building a network when they bought their first bit of spectrum, they wouldn't need an extension. They would be replacing 4G with 5G like everyone else.

    Dish Price Increase Coming - 11/16/2021

    I use Playon tv and there is also Channels DVR. You should be able to record plenty of streaming shows using these.

    I love Dish but can no longer justify it.

    Philo has History for only $25/month extra. Unlimited DVR with commercial skip. I'm still grandfathered in the $20/month plan.

    I love Dish but can no longer justify it.

    It's been two years since I dropped cable, and my wife and I aren't looking back. People like to say that streaming will soon catch up with cable/satellite in pricing. But that's assuming that cable/satellite prices won't rise. We were paying $157 for tv and internet and when including the...

    Price increase coming for locals?

    And my point is the government won't fix this. They will just make it worse than it already is. EDIT: I am in favor of the government doing something though. That would be eliminating at least half of the bs laws and regulations on the books.

    Price increase coming for locals?

    I don't, I use an antenna, so I never see a price increase. I was just commenting on government action. Like changing the "must carry" law which has led to these prices.

    Price increase coming for locals?

    It's amazing how Tivo went backwards with the Edge for OTA. two weaker tuners (compared to previous models) just doesn't cut it in today's cord-cutting environment. Well with the cable card mandate now gone, I don't expect them to be bringing out non- commercial products for much longer anyway...

    Price increase coming for locals?

    I don't want govt action on high prices. Their actions are the main reasons we're having a spike in prices in the first place.

    should i have gotten a 625 instead of a 522?

    One of my friends was still using a 522 until three years ago. He moved and "upgraded" to Spectrum. Well a couple of months ago he dropped the tv portion and kept internet and then went with Dish again. he has a Hopper 2 with a Joey now.

    RSN's Continue to Fall - Dish drops AT&T Sportsnets

    Five channels from one company rotating the same content is robust? I think paying for one channel instead of five would be better in the long run for consumers. Who cares if weak channels go away. Good content would still find a way to be broadcast. Besides, we already have Ala Carte. Media...

    Oh, please say it isn’t so…

    And most of the OTA networks are putting their more interesting shows on streaming services. I can barely watch the drivel coming in from my antenna anymore.

    Sinclair warns of 112 channels being dropped by DISH next Monday (8/16)

    There is relief for Sinclair. Agree to to put RSN's in a separate tier. They would be earning more money from Dish/Sling, Hulu, YTTV, etc. than they're currently earning from those providers.

    Sinclair warns of 112 channels being dropped by DISH next Monday (8/16)

    The OTA networks are severely overated IMHO. There is very little on them that I watch. Not like 2010 when I bought another Tivo to supplement the meager two channels my 722K provided. The vast majority of tv shows I now watch are on streaming services. The OTA programming has stagnated and it's...

    DISH wants Starlink to Cease Operations

    Not a good week for Charlie. First T Mobile tries to "out-Charlie" him. He then takes on a guy who is both richer and smarter than him.
