Turbo HD poll...What to do now

Team Summit is finished. Charlie is aware of what's up, and something may happen, sometime. So, what are you going to do now? You may vote for more than one option.

I don't think it's that they're not listening, but I think it takes time for Dish to do anything (they have the maneuvering capabilities of an aircraft carrier, not a motorcycle).

I can't find the link right now, but I seem to recall Scott & crew had a similar sit-down with Charlie at Team Summit last year and asked about the ability to get RSNs with the HD only package. 3 months later (August 2008) the TurboHD packages came out which were a retooling of the HD Only package so the RSNs could be bundled. Hopefully they can get something done quicker for Speed/FX, but if it comes down to some additional contract negotiations it wouldn't surprise me if it took a few more weeks to hammer something out.

I selected wait and see for my choice. The main channel left that I wanted in HD was FX. I have been waiting for it since signing up back in the fall. Been waiting patiently for it to be added and enjoying my Turbo HD Bronze for $52 plus taxes. Then I see I can't get it at any level of Turbo package. I figure crap I might as well just bite the bullet and upgrade to the silver + HD. I'd get the FX plus some other channels that would make others in the family happy. I had already logged into my account and changed over to classic silver + HD etc for $80 per month plus taxes. All I had to do was confirm the change and then I though, screw em. I'm not increasing my monthly bill by $28 for a couple of channels when I should be at least able to get them at the Turbo HD Silver or Gold for less. Now I'm gonna just sit back and enjoy what I have. I'll just watch what I can on Hulu and use some of that extra savings to sub to Netflix.

That's exactly how I feel. I'm not going to fork out another$18 a month on my bill to get a lot of channels I don't want just in order to get a few. I'm going to sit it out and wait!! I'M NOT GIVING IN!!! :music:

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Dish Hopper and Dish Hopper Plus No Alexa in settings

I have Dish Hopper and Hopper Plus and also have Alexa Echo. I link the Alex skill to Dish and it asks me to enter the pairing code shown on the TV. I go into Dish Settings and there is no Alexa shown. Not sure what to do.

I stand up from my chair with my glass in one hand and my plate in the other, when a story I really want to hear comes on the TV. So I say, "Alexa, pause DISH", and it waits for me to return from the kitchen, at which time I say, "Alexa, resume DISH".

Or maybe, when I return with a full glass in one hand and a new plate in the other, I realize I forgot to pause to hear this good story from its start. So I say, "Alexa, skip DISH backwards 3 minutes", and I still get to catch the whole story.

I use this every day. Or until I acquire a third hand.
