    Dish Network: “OTT could be bigger than DTH

    Watching WWE programming via the WWE Network is a better experience than watching WWE RAW and Smackdown on USA Network and SYFY via DISH because of DISH Compression. I've actually had the screen distort/blur if they drop confetti and/or use a lot of LED lighting effects on RAW/Smackdown vs. the...

    Will the HWS ever get the CUI?

    I forced updated Tuesday with the button press combo and I like the CUI. Sure a couple of things are missing (recording to second Hopper if Hopper has all three tuners in use and 1/2 hour off from the EPG but overall I think the UI operates more smoothly and was able to access some menus faster...

    S541Old CUI Update Hopper with Sling

    Weirdness my second Hopper w/Sling with S541 was able to view the said recording that keeps crashing the first Hopper w/ Sling without crashing it. The only correlation I can think of that would cause this is something to do with HDMI as the first Hopper w/ Sling isn't displaying the episode...

    S541Old CUI Update Hopper with Sling

    My Hopper w/ Sling is refusing to play this weeks episode of Channel Zero: Candle Cove ... the screen just goes black, locks up and the Hopper w/ Sling reboots itself. I just noticed I was at S541.

    Mi Box as an alternative to a Joey? Maybe.

    I've tried out a few of those cheap android boxes but PQ was always an issue for me, along with WiFi signal issues. (Which are probably some what tied together BUT I bought an USB ethernet dongle and the PQ didn't really improve much on those devices).

    Mi Box as an alternative to a Joey? Maybe.

    I just tried a DVR recording and it doesn't seem to initialize when you choose watch on device. :( Live TV works and the channel remote within the app works though ...

    Mi Box as an alternative to a Joey? Maybe.

    I bought one of these Mi Box Android TV units at Walmart for $69 and the hardware is pretty decent (not sure how it handles 4K as I don't have a 4K TV) and initially I was pretty disappointed with the offerings on the "Android TV" PlayStore. (Think GoogleTV PlayStore...) Almost to the point...

    Upgrade original Hopper to new UI issues

    Wouldn't the work around (and annoying to those who don't save series) be just to save the PTAT series to the second Hopper w/ Sling so it shows up in the Recorded Events folder ?

    Upgrade original Hopper to new UI issues

    My cousin is going to be sooooooo mad when we get upgraded since there is no more A-Z sorting ... I'm always giving him crap about how he sorts A-Z when I've always used "date recorded"

    Dish charges shipping for broken receivers? And, other musings on my super-dead 722K.

    Edit: Holy zombie thread... The Protection Plan is a big waste and I've thought about taking it off of my account numerous times but I will say this being on the protection plan I have never been charged $15 for a tech visit, they have always been free. Besides upgrading my service though...

    Dish Movie Pack

    I will also mention if you don't have Starz! Starz VOD (not the channels) are included in the Dish Movie Pack. This is how I currently sub to Starz!

    Dish Movie Pack

    No, I believe Logo & Centric was moved to Americas Top 250. I have the Dish Movie Pack (Formerly Dish Platinum, Blockbuster @ Home ) and I lost the channels a couple months back...

    DVR alert: Expedition Unknown

    Didn't I already see Josh Gates hunt for the Yeti on Destination Truth ? Just kidding, thanks for the update. Another show to keep an eye on is FX and American Horror Story. FX Now has it listed as American Horror Story: Roanoke but DISH has it listed as American Horror Story: 6

    GRIT TV on Channel 217

    For fans of westerns, it looks like dish added a western channel GRIT TV on channel 217. I just noticed this flipping through channels. It's in SD only and of course more than likely this channel can vanish at anytime as it's in one of those "we pay dish to carry us" channel spots.

    TAG channel

    I doubt that's going to happen ... I missed the first three weeks of from Dusk till Dawn and checked out El Rey on Demand and the only thing they had on El Rey on Demand was Lucha Underground. They used to post and have all the episodes of From Dusk till Dawn on Demand. Oh well I guess I'll just...

    AMC streaming and DISH

    I noticed you can now use your DISH credentials to stream Comedy Central but you can't with Spike TV... (both are viacom channels)

    Anyone Else Notice Lots of Thumbnail Art is Generic?

    Westworld is just a generic DISH icon on my HWS. That's the only one I noticed besides the two wrestling ppvs I ordered.

    What Happened to Esquire?

    Oh, I must of missed that news I thought earlier this year they were going to pull all the NBCU channels but DISH called for mediation based on a stipulation from the NBCU/Comcast merger. That was the last I heard of the issue, so my bad if I missed something important.

    What Happened to Esquire?

    Things could get bad for DISH? This channel is owned by NBC/Comcast. I'll be a very unhappy DISH customer if I lose USA and SYFY. with that said ... If I switch providers it'll be to an IPTV provider (maybe both PSVue/SlingTV) both of the basic/core packages give me what I want (minus...

    How to end local disputes

    Solution, even the playing field My local cable company gives our area network TV channels from the Charleston, WV DMA (WCHS (ABC) & WVAH-TV, (FOX) WOWK-13 (CBS) WSAZ (NBC), the Parkersburg, WV DMA (WTAP (NBC), WYIE (CBS), My NetworkTV, Fox Parkersburg) and Columbus, Ohio DMA (WSYX (ABC) and...

    The Superstations have returned ...

    I downgraded from the Superstations package to just KTLA three or four years ago. The reason behind me having it for so long was the fact on DISH they don't offer the CW in my area. I could move to Charleston/Huntington, WV DMA but I'm not sure if the spotbeam would be strong enough on...

    Give me crackle

    I tried to use Crackle on my PS4 last night to watch a movie and it wouldn't even work ... (it's a sony service on sony hardware) Netflix, Hulu, Prime, everything else basically worked except Crackle.

    New Add-On Packages

    I didn't say it was a good experience I just said that Vue was on Roku. There is a "schedule" when you select the channel that you want to watch but it's very lackluster. I was only really doing the comparison for myself and found that almost all the channels that were offered in the add-on...

    New Add-On Packages

    For people willing to spread their channel line ups across two services here is something to look at and still comes in cheaper than America's Top 200 on DISH ($66.98 total) Vue is on the Roku as of the last week of June. I'm kind of tempted. I like the idea of Flex. Most of the channels I...

    Tribune Broadcasting Company Blacks Out DISH Customers in 33 Markets;

    I want to say that DISH was more than fair to me when it comes to the cost of KTLA (I pay $2/month for the channel when it was sold as a Superstation) I called in inquiring about a possibility of a one time $10 credit, I figured five months would give them plenty of time to get a new deal worked...
