    Sling box question

    Hi Claude, as mentioned above you'll likely need to use component video due to HDCP. As for port forwarding, it is typically not necessary anymore unless they are using an old router or a router that has restrictions that stop it from happening automatically. From memory it uses UPnP or...

    3 Year Price Lock Details

    I think you're right, but should also consider that you will get package savings in the third year that you would not otherwise. Savings right now are around $15, plus assume future price increase around $5/yr, and you are saving at least $25/mo in the third year, which offsets at least half of...

    3 Year Price Lock Details

    Three questions coming to my mind as I think about my options, I'm sure most Dish folks know these pretty easy: 1 - I know they use PT HD RSNs, but do most to all pro games show on Dish in HD? 10 years ago it was around half, I would assume it is much better now? Example being FS Detroit...

    3 Year Price Lock Details

    When you say the 3 yr program will not include the DVR fee are you speaking of the $15/mo fee for the Hopper 3? So essentially sign up today and get 2 years at $49.99 for a Hopper 2. Signup in a few days and get 3 years at $64.99 with Hopper 3? Over the 3rd year and having the price lock to...

    For the sports bar mode, any chance it would work on a non-4k TV?

    From DishPromise.com: We are currently experiencing a dispute with Sinclair and your local stations are impacted by these negotiations. We have agreed to Sinclair's rates and all terms for carriage of Sinclair's local channels, but the broadcaster has chosen to black out customers to gain...

    DISH and Sinclair extend contract talks (Update 8/25 Stations Removed)

    Updated the homepage - this is a big dispute with over 150 stations in 79 markets. Many markets losing multiple affiliates. Dish better make this one quick or they will likely experience some fallout.

    MLB Extra Innings Now Available

    ESPN Exclusive are blacked out from EI, but that is pretty much just sunday nights at this point. ESPN Opening day broadcasts are not exclusive. They used to have a wednesday night exclusive but that is no longer the case (2-3 years now).

    Netflix comes to the Hopper with Sling

    That is a great addition to a satellite box, something that I would love to see DirecTV pursue. I hope this becomes a trend-setter and most cable/satellite boxes support major non-competing streaming services in the next couple years.

    You need Top 200 just to get WGN America?

    DirecTV places it in the Xtra package, which is similar to Dish 200 placement. Many cable companies have it on a basic tier, which anymore is more of a throwback that was just never changed. WGN America is very different today than in the 90's when it was a superstation - and there was many...

    Scott Talks Joeys with Vivek Khemka (VIDEO)

    Nice interview guys. The super joey as a way to add two tuners to a hopper setup is a hell of an idea, many houses are fine with three but here is an economical way to get 5 total. Also allows upgrading their current customer base without having to upgrade to new hardware, very scalable.

    Dish HD vs Disney (DISH sort of won...)

    That line is pretty scary when you look at Dish and Disney, of which ESPN is a part of.

    SIRIUS Channel Changes Coming May 5th!

    This is easier to use: XM: http://www.siriusxm.com/pdf/11-1524_XM_WebLUs_5_4.pdf SIRI: http://www.siriusxm.com/pdf/11-1524_SIR_WebLUs_5_4.pdf Same channel number for most stuff but still some differences, especially in sports. No real changes to the "Best of" content, just new name of XM...

    SatelliteGuys First Look Review - DISH Sling Adapter

    Nice job Scott. A big change needed - they need a login for just this box, so you can use it in the slingplayer, or slingplayer mobile. Not everyone has an iphone, and not everyone only uses their device for themselves. You called it, gotta have separate logins.

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    Unbelievable, simply unbelievable how Dish continues to struggle with these negotations, that their customers should never even hear about.

    Best way to handle technican?

    Physically handling the technicians can result in sexual harrassment lawsuits. Best to avoid :D

    WTF DISH (another HDRSN RANT!)

    You knew they pulled that crap when you switched back from Directv. Dish has no resonable logic when it comes to HD RSN. It's a shame because to many their RSN is a "top 5" type cable channel.

    Any hint of MLB EXTRA INNINGS coming to Dish?

    None. simply not happening. WELCOME to Satelliteguys BTW!

    NFL Network Moving To Multi Sport

    That would be a major change. Is it possible that MultiSport includes NFL Net and it also stays in the other packages it is in already, that sounds more likely. That would give NFLNet to customers that have multisport but not a base package or a base package smaller than what NFLNet is in...

    Not having the major sports packages will do that to you.
