Argh.. yes, my bad.. I meant Wireless Access Point.

Paid $50 for a wireless Joey a few years ago which I don't need now.. can I resell it? (ie. can someone else use it and avoid the $50 charge? or would it somehow be locked to my acct or not able to be used for a new customer?) thanks Mike

many of us call that the WAF (Wife Approval Factor)... ignore it at your peril.

As others have pointed out in the original Flex thread, the Flex approach isn't always less... would be nice if there was some increasing discount the more "packs" you buy... yes, I'll keep dreaming.

gosh, that would be too simple. :)

Enable DVR functionality for (at least) OTA channels and this could have some play.

I thought the base Flex Pack price included one "pack".. but when I explore possible programming changes, that is not indicated.. CSR chat says this free pack was only for NEW customers ? yet the Flex pack thread http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/dish-introduces-flex-pack.362590/ says...

hmm... gamble $5/month savings, vs. $20/month ETF.. not so attractive. Between PS Vue, and Google coming to our area, I can't see still being on Dish in 2 years. Will probably switch to Flex with locals + kids for the time I remain.. and save ~$15(?)/month vs. AT120. The content cost for...

so as long as you think you'd stick with it for more than 4 months, you come out ahead. That works. Thanks!

how long is the new commitment? 2 years? what is the ETF? thanks Mike

With PS Vue, I can buy and pay off my equipment in roughly a year (depending on if I pick a FireTV stick vs. box). with Dish I have to pay the equipment fees forever. IMO, Flex is a good step forward.. but not enough to keep me from considering a switch when my contract runs out in the next month.

AFAIK the DishAnywhere app is not officially supported on fireTV (I've seen discussion of sideloading and needing to use a bluetooth mouse/keyboard to emulate a touchscreen.. tho it doesn't sound all that palatable) DA is supported on the tablets.. not sure if one can then mirror the tablet to...

(a bit OT, but) I have to say we are looking HARD at the Playstation vue ... all the channels we want.. $30/mo... 5 TVs. I'll happily pay a 1-time fee to get the needed hardware (ie. fireTV, AppleTV).

Its hard to understand the exact mix of channels in the Kids Pack.. ie. not sure there is *any* core package where there isn't at least 1 channel of overlap. On it's face this is not a bargain... but again, we dropped from AT120, so it was a net $30 savings for us, and keeps the kids happy.

I believe you can only get it from an "account specialist" (similar to the Welcome package I believe).. its $15/mo.. Disney/Jr/XD/West, Bommerang, Cartoon/West, Animal Planet. An insulting (for being in 2016) portion of those are not in HD... but we lowered our bill $30/month by dropping to...

Trying to see if I can reduce the monthly bill ... currently at AT120 (64.99).. no discounts. Could drop to Dish America (save $15).. but we'd lose Disney.. and anyone with kids will know that is big trouble... I called and was told there is a kids package ($15)... DA + KP would be the same...

Just checking to see if this is still true ? (there is still a Starz channel in the Movie Pack, but not the same one).. thanks!

Skinimax and HBO in free preview

Looking at bill/payment history, my service period is 30th of the month -> 28/29 of the next month. I had been paying (autopay) on the 5th(or 6th) of every month.. and it hasn't changed. (at 1st I read the history in the wrong order).. not sure why I am getting the notices if nothing is changing.

that was my concern... pretty soon they'll have advanced me a full month :)

I just got what I think is my 3rd notice (over the past few months) of autopay moving up 5 days... WTF?

I couldn't find a single thing to record from the entire weekend of Cinemax (already have HBO on the same half off deal). Do good movies just never make it to cable anymore (ie. only to Netflix-by-mail)

I thought we used to have a "turn on channel" option (back on the 622?) with 2 small kids, that would be a nice feature (set it to always turn on to PBS)

same for me. I re-recorded the episode later in the week, and all was fine.

I don't think I mis-reported to any of the questions I was asked by folks hoping to diagnose, but yes, I was feeding my Hopper its "internet in" signal with a powerline adapter (and it then had a 2nd ethernet cable "out" to the wireless joey adapater... Once I removed the powerline adapater and...
