    Watching Dish TV at nursing home

    She probably has the same programs available, but the channel numbers are different. She pushes the number for the channel she wants, but it's not the same as the Dish Network channel number. She might be able to work with the staff to get the network that she wants. Getting older sucks.

    :eek: And I was 30 already. I love TCM, but I’m skipping over any of their post 1971 movies.

    DISH Network reports fourth quarter, year-end 2021 financial results

    Dish And ATT sign Deal !

    Amazing that Sears started as a catalog company, the 1800's equivalent of Amazon, but couldn't adapt to the internet age.

    Dish And ATT sign Deal !

    Competition requires some amount of regulation to keep the big players from acquiring the little players and shutting them down. That's why we have anti-trust laws. A completely free market leads to monopolies, and competition dies.

    Mergers are free market capitalism in action. Big fish eat the little fish.

    Is there a gift card promotion with new Dish customer signup?

    I got mail this week with a $300 gift card offer. Didn't take them up on it though.

    Leaving for the first time ???

    I left Dish about 3 years ago for Direct. I got a 2 year price lock, and I've gotten the price rolled back a couple times since that expired. The service is as good as Dish, the DVR and wireless receivers are very good. No regrets

    We used Lotus 123 until the government made an agreement to license Microsoft Office about 15 years ago.

    New Slab Installation

    I don't recall having the Pex in a PVC pipe when we did our kitchen addition 10 years ago. But looking back, I think it would have been a good idea (no, not for replacing it with copper :D).

    Roku vs Firestick streamers to supplement Hopper

    We have two of the 42" Fire TVs from Amazon, made by Toshiba. They are smart, 4K televisions with Alexa built in. You can download apps to the TV, just as you would with a Firestick. We also got a Firestick on Prime Day for the big 72" Sharp TV in the living room. That one is "smart", but...

    HBO/Cinemax Takedown

    Actually, AT&T doesn't stand for anything now, literally or figuratively.

    A few midwest hail storms will do that.

    HBO/Cinemax Takedown

    I remember pay phones, and phone booths. All gone the way of the dinosaurs. Probably satellite delivered television is going that way too.

    HBO/Cinemax Takedown

    TDM (analog) phone service is being phased out by all the providers. But to not offer a viable alternative is despicable.
