    Where can I find an old Dishplayer 7100?

    Loved that Dishplayer/Web player/and Keyboard combo. First DVR I ever had! When I got it it could only pause live TV. A software update gave it DVR functions. You Don't Know Jack was built in and loved playin that game.

    DISH's Smart 5G™ Wireless Network is Now Available to Over 20 Percent of the U.S. Population

    I have tried both the Nokia "Trashcan" and Arcadian gateways with T-mobile. When they work they are great, but not reliable in my area. I live near a State park and my theory is that when the park get busy the service slows to a crawl. Friday evenings and weekends I basically get no service. I...

    DISH's Smart 5G™ Wireless Network is Now Available to Over 20 Percent of the U.S. Population

    Strange that their headquarters is in Littleton, CO, yet we are not listed as an available area.

    Sinclair and Bally’s Unveil New Logo and RSN Names

    Lucky Us. Rockies are on AT&T Sportsnet, but after paying St.Louis $50 million to take Arenado, they should be on BS!

    OTA question for a clueless person (me!)

    In the old analog days (60's & 70's) We had friends In Frankfort who got WLW-T Cincinnati on a cable system. It was the first time I ever saw cable TV. I remember the picture was very snowy. I lived in Cincy and we had a VHF antenna cut for Channel 4 and a rotator. We could get all Cincy and...

    DISH to Become National Facilities-based Wireless Carrier

    I went by the Riverfront Dish facility in Littleton tonight. There appears to be a lot of construction going on. At one time it was Dish's headquarters which has now moved to Meridian, south of Denver. Wondering if the work is related to Dish's new wireless adventurers? ( Did I do a good job of...

    DISH to Become National Facilities-based Wireless Carrier

    I found out last month I have prostate cancer. When talking with the Dr. he asked about smoking. My brother and I never have but our parents were heavy smokers. When I was working in the 70's and early 80 I worked with a lot of people who smoked in the office. My wife would have me strip off my...

    Bird Poop on Dish and signal??

    This thread reminds me of when I was a early Dish customer. One morning I had no signal and went outside and found a pigeon sitting on the LNB arm. I was suffering from bird fade!

    Eastern Ark and western ark

    At one time I had dishes pointed a 61.5,110,119 and 148. I think I had a SWM 16 switch to tie them all together. This was when I had East and West coast locals as well as my own, The good old days! I even had a dish pointed at a Nimiq satellite, which had a lot of channels in the clear on a...

    Ordered new remotes...this was my experience

    UPS has screwed up my last two orders. Took almost two weeks to get a package from the other side of town that was supposed to be next day delivery. They sent a Xfinity receiver from Aurora, CO ( 25 miles away) to Englewood, CO (10 miles away) where it sat four days. Then to Salt Lake City (530...

    Regional sports channels

    I like what Dish is proposing to Altitude but they will never accept it. https://www.lightreading.com/cable-video/dish-pitches-a-la-carte-option-to-altitude-tv-/d/d-id/757843?_mc=RSS_LR_EDT

    Dish /T-Mobile

    My 55+ plan with T-mobile as been great going on three years now. Over they years I had all three carriers and they all have a terrible signal in my neighborhood. AT&T and T-mobile gave me cell spots (microcell equipment). Also wi-fi calling makes it not a big deal.

    It's been fun...

    Tony, yes the time comes for all of us. I remember your posts and advice from many years ago when I was with Dish. I dumped DirecTV two year ago this month and went back with cable. I was so thankful yesterday when we got 14 inches of snow, I didn't have to go out and sweep off the dish! I am...

    Dayton WHIO 7 Transmission Problems

    Why would they use Cleveland over Cincinnati? Cincinnati is only 50 miles away. Columbus is closer also. Or is the Cleveland station owned by the same company as WHIO? BTW, used to watch Uncle Orrie on WHIO growing up in Cincy. We could get all the Dayton stations with a rooftop antenna.

    I can't believe I saw this on a basic cable/satellite channel!

    The other side of this is AMC. I watched Blazing Saddles on it a few weeks ago. It was bleeped so bad it ruined the movie. I guess in this day and age nudity on TV is ok on screen but don’t use any derogatory words.

    Echostar III [61.5° W] & V [148° W] ?

    At one time I had 3 dishes, 101/119, 61.5 and 148 and a switch (SW64?) that brought them all together in the guide. I think I had NY and LA HD feeds. I also had a original Dish 3000 receiver that with another dish I could point to the Expressview satellite and watch Canada programming from...

    Slingbox ceasing production

    Been running a Sling Box for many years beginning with the original classic. The M1 has driven me nuts. I understand the need for commercials but having to watch a 30 or 45 second commercial when setting up or changing a setting was crazy. Or switching from wired to wireless. I am a DirecTV...

    Best solution for keeping snow off my dish

    Since this thread is 6 years old, here is an update. My HotShot heater is still working well after 6 years. I have never lost signal due to snow which is something since I am in Colorado. I do have to say that I noticed that the element is beginning to flake and peel off, so not sure how much...

    Best solution for keeping snow off my dish

    I ordered a HotShot heater from SatPro. The install was real easy. It looks like it may get it's first test on Thursday when that Pacific storm moves here.

    SatelliteGuys / Dish Network Meet And Greet Report

    Here are some photos from today of Scott and the guys giving the 922 a workout. These were from my Palm Treo 755 phone and may be fuzzy. Sorry I didn't take any upstairs with Charlie. I was to busy listening to what he had to say.
