My experience with the streaming services has been that the picture is fine, but the DVR is not even close to my Wally's free DVR feature with an outboard 2 TB hard drive. I don't know about YouTube TV, but a lot of streaming providers make you pay extra for DVR and then force you to watch...

We too have been cutting way back on the news we watch, partly because it really upsets my wife. That was true even before this crisis. Just like I record everything else, I’ve started recording the news so I can just watch bits and pieces on delay. That way I can skip forward on the parts I...

Ya know, we’re very lucky to have Dish satellite TV service during this difficult time. Having traveled extensively overseas in 2005, I was amazed at how bad the satellite hardware and programming is in most countries outside of the USA. My wife and I are currently following the “stay at home...

Spend an hour watching watching 9605, then flip over to 9606 and watch that for a while. For a real thrill, watch 9582, and be sure to play the music from all 3 in Dolby! I submit those are not very popular channels with ANY dish subscribers. I seriously doubt they generate any revenue for Dish.

I think Dish should add it to the lineup. If nearly all subscribers are forced to pay for left-leaning CNN and MSNBC, seems only fair for Dish to offer both Fox and OAN for those on the right. I'm sure it would be more popular than some of the shopping channels and "public interest" channels...

Personally, I've owned the 211K, 211Z, Hopper 3, and the Wally. They're all very good receivers in their own way, but the new Hopper 3 and Wally receivers can do so much more than the 211's. If I was starting out with Dish, I would definitely want the new hardware. These new receivers are...

Try this, if you haven't already. Make sure all OTA channels are removed, then shut down and unplug the previous tuner. Then unplug the Wally for a minute and restart. Then, while the Wally is on and you are watching a show, plug in the OTA tuner. My personal experience is that USB...

Me neither. My three Wallys have been very reliable, and Dish just keeps making them better the longer I own them. Four tuners and no DVR fees? Yes, please! I've also been a customer with Dish since the day they opened and have never found a better deal elsewhere.

Here are some tips for those of you thinking about a Dish Wally receiver purchase. The user interface on the Wally looks almost identical to the Hopper 3, so an Internet connection is very desirable, but not required. The Wally receiver has 2 USB ports and 1 wired Ethernet port. It has no...

My wife and I loved Voom's art channel called "Gallery HD". To date, I have not seen any of that channel's programming anywhere else. Wikipedia does not even have an entry for Gallery HD. I do realize that Voom was showing the same programming over and over on many channels, but they did a lot...

Amazon may not manufacture anything that has Kodi on it, but Amazon.com has many boxes for sale that have Kodi pre-loaded. I bought one last fall, and I just did a search on Amazon and found several boxes with Kodi offered for sale today. That said, I'm no fan of piracy. (I'm a former...

Since the Wally user interface is the same as the Hopper 3, are you seeking testers to try the Wally version of the new software?

In my review of the Wally, I pointed out that the Wally only has 2 USB ports, so you can't have the USB Wi-Fi adapter, the USB OTA tuner dongle, and a USB hard drive all attached directly to the Wally at the same time unless you could get a USB3 hub to be recognized by the Wally. I own, want and...

Yes, and I do lean toward dumping DTVN ($35, no DVR) and adding PSVUE ($30, 28 day DVR) to my Welcome Pack. I just wish Dish gave me a reasonably-priced alternative to add Fox News to my Welcome Pack. The next package up is the Smart Pack, which is basically like the Welcome Pack with Fox News...

You truly are a genius! Seriously, that's a great idea! And it allows Dish to make a tidy profit while keeping customers like me happy, thanks to the many customers they would retain. Thank goodness the SpokesListener is hearing all this! :-)

Nope. I do like Sling TV, but they don't offer Fox News at any price. If they offered Fox News by itself for, say, $5.00, I could pay $20 for the basics, $5.00 for Fox News, and then add the Sports Extra for another $5.00. At $30, I would still have no networks, no USA, and no WE. But Sling TV...

Let's see if that's even close to correct. The FLEX Pack costs $40 for a package full of channels I don't really want (but have to take) in exchange for the privilege of paying $10 more for my locals and $10 more again for Fox News. That's $60 so far. $40 ($13.34 each) for USA, TNT, and WE, $10...

Amen. And I'd pay enough to try to give them a profit. How about a "Locals Plus Five" package for $20 a month? Here's an example I would gladly pay for: Locals, Fox News, TNT, USA, WE, and SEC. Let me keep my Movie Pack for $10, making it $30. I use Wally's, so my DVR costs nothing...

Well, my three Wallys were installed yesterday. JSheridan was absolutely correct when he suggested I call a pro to do the installation. Here are the correct answers to my questions and my own Wally review, in case anyone else is weighing getting a Wally instead if a Hopper 3. Q1. Will I need...

So is this something easy to correct by moving the two Joey wires to another place on the switch, or do I need to hire a pro to come out and change something?

My Hopper 3 with 4K Joeys really is wonderful, but I want to cut back on my monthly TV bill. Yes, I already know I'm crazy, but I truly hate monthly DVR fees that never go away ($240 per year!). I hardly ever watch anything on the cable channels, and actually considered dropping Dish after 20...

Is CNN back in the Welcome Pack? I called to complain that it was gone, and the rep said that CNN was never in the Welcome Pack, even though I had been watching it daily for months. So I switched to a more expensive package with Fox News. Did CNN ever come back? I prefer Fox News to CNN, but...

As a long time Dish America subscriber (a package which does not have Fox News), I learned early on that the best way for me to get Fox News without changing to a more expensive package was to get a home kit for my SIRIUS/XM car radio receiver. I just grab the tiny satellite radio receiver from...

OK. I'll take the bait. Here's all I want: The broadcast networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, PBS), Fox News, TNT, USA, KTV. All in HD. I'd gladly pay $15 a month for those 9 channels. Surely they would make money on that.

I really like my personally-owned 211 and not having to pay rental or DVR fees, but the penalty seems to be not having the Sling Adapter available to me. Also, the iPad app won't work. Is there some technical reason why the 211 can't work with the Sling Adapter, or are we just second-class...
