Sounds like maybe they recovered their accounting database from a 3 month old backup?

If it turns out to be a leased receiver then what the seller did is fraudulent and should be reported to the seller's local police department. Also, I see no benefit in purchasing a Dish receiver unless you have exhausted all attempts to persuade them to give you a Hopper 3.

The condescending tone of your reply is not appreciated. I don't think you took the time to fully read my post before having a tantrum about it I said "It seems like the media companies and Dish's solution for declining subscribers is to raise prices to help make up the difference." Yet you...

It seems like the media companies and Dish's solution for declining subscribers is to raise prices to help make up the difference. Market forces will eventually prevail. No one ever promised us reasonable prices for TV. If you haven't already, check out FreeVee. It has ads but they are much...

FreeVee is pretty good too. The commercial breaks are much shorter than most other free services, and I am usually able to find a good movie to watch every night. Also have YouTube TV but its harder to find something that I want to watch.

I already have my OTA antenna secured in a PVC vent pipe, which is near the peak of the roof. So no need for the J pole.

Very sorry to hear about that incident. I already removed the dish and J-Pole. I had my wife stay at the bottom of the ladder and stabilize it while I climbed up and unbolted the J-Pole. Fortunately the installer only installed 2 lag bolts (out of 4 possible). Took about 10 minutes and I...

MikeD, by your reaction (laugh) I think you are right. It's extremely unlikely that Dish will ever be a better deal than streaming. I'll take it down while I still can. It's bolted in the eaves on my two story house about 20 feet up. I'll take it down while I'm still able. It will be scary way...

Yes, already have an OTA antenna near the peak of my roof. ... I'll probably just leave the dish where it is. Maybe some day Dish will make their service more affordable than streaming services.

When I returned mine I included the LNBF. Many years ago when I returned everything except the LNBF they charged me for it. Now I have a bare Dish on my roof and am wondering if I should leave it there or take it down? The only way I would ever go back to Dish satellite TV service is if they...

Thanks. The only remaining question is - Am I eligible if I cancelled Dish (on good terms) only 4 months ago, or do I need to wait until it's 6 months?

I cancelled Dish in late August. Now I see that they offer a 3 year price lock. I am tempted. I have tried various streaming services, but they all force me to watch commercials except on recorded content. With my old Hopper Duo I could pause live TV for about 20 minutes and then come back...

I don't know of any option to erase everything. Maybe someone else here does? If you have signed out of those Prime and Netflix then you should be good. Even if you hadn't signed out, they will probably do a factory wipe of the hard drive. If you wanted to be extra safe, you could change your...

I had a similar situation to the O.P.. I called Dish and the only way to get the price back down about 1/2 way was to agree to another 2 year term.

I thought it would be longer, like 6 months. But this is good that it's only 2 months. I quit Dish 3 months ago and paid a $210 E.T.F. I have tried streaming services but I miss the convenience of the Dish DVR. I could pause TV anytime and skip commercials without restriction. I tried a...

According to what I just read, encryption will render all existing ATSC 3.0 receivers useless: ATSC 3.0 stumbles again - The Solid Signal Blog . Tablo says it will not be possible to download a software update with encryption keys. Its something that has to be done in the factory. So I...

I found a lifetime TiVo at Good Will for about $10. And you can get them on eBay for around $100. I'm still using my 15 year old TiVo series 3 that I bought about 15 years ago. But I have had to replace the hard drive a couple of times. Tablo guide service is about $50 a year. So you can pay a...

Its good but they no longer offer the option to purchase a lifetime guide subscription. But you can get used lifetime guide OTA TiVos fairly inexpensively on eBay.

I too am a member of the "dish without an LNBF" club. (They wanted it back when I returned my receiver 2 months ago). I don't miss the 2 year contracts, carriage disputes, and price increases. I'm doing fine with paid and free streaming, and my OTA antenna + TiVo.

You're not the only one. I don't miss ESPN because PBA bowling moved to Fox Sports in 2019. Also, I can still watch Pro Football with my roof antenna / TiVo.

As a temporary solution you could try out Hulu, YouTube TV, Fubo, or DirecTV stream. They all have ESPN.

I have subscribed to Amazon Prime for years and have never been aware of "Channels" before you asked this question. All I ever saw were the movies. But wow, there is a ton of stuff I have missed out on with the channels! Thank you for making me aware of the channels on Prime, especially since I...

I was putting it off, but I finally got on the phone and cancelled Dish. Was greeted by a robot voice who asked what I wanted to do. "Cancel Service" I said. After 18 minutes on hold I finally got a rep. to talk to. I had to tell her a few times why I'm cancelling - "because I don't watch it...

Discovery has some of my favorite series, especially the ones involving mining like Gold Rush. Without Discovery, about the only thing left for me on At 120 are Fox, CNN, and CNBC. Its really not worth the $70 a month I am paying. I have been putting it off, but I really need to call Dish and...

The Discovery Channel is one of the few channels in my AT120 pack that I watch. If Dish removes it from AT120 then its going to upset a lot of people. I hope this is not the case.
