Has anyone else complained to DISH yet about the problems with their "web page" for the "My DVR" page of Remote Dish Access (dish / sling web pages)
1) display "sort by" Date .. doesn't sort and display by Date Recorded ... it actually sorts Alphabetically by Date.
ie.. DVR recording NBC on Monday for 8pm / 9pm / 10pm of Chuck / The Cape / Harry's Law should be sorted by freshest recording to oldest recording... namely.. Harry's Law, The Cape, Chuck ...
but in the Web Page ... it goes by alphabet on that day .... Chuck / Harry's Law / The Cape.
2) And further, when you have two or more of some event ... I have two GLEE items on there.. it automatically GROUPS them (even if you rename them) and then shows them in the list of recordings, by the date of the FIRST recorded event..
so.. Glee from Tuesday of this week (which if I look at the 722k DVR's list is above Harry's law since that was monday and glee was Tuesday), will be grouped with a GLEE from THREE WEEKS AGO which.. on the web page.. is down some 20 "entries" from where it would be, if this was properly mimicing my 722k DVR's screen.
AND LASTLY
3) If you're already watching something (i have the sling adapter) on the web page .... it reduces the amount of space for accessing DVR content, or "The Grid" to such a small area, and doesn't always show scroll bars.
Case in point... the GROUPed GLEE episodes.. if I'm already watching something.. and I scroll down to where GLEE is.. I see that there are 2 episodes ... when I click that "episode" marker ... it takes me one level in ... and that "episode marker" is normally above where you would select the individual episodes.. and there would be a scroll bar on the right side...
but because the Video Window is opened.. I only get the "episode marker" visible.. and not the two episodes that should be visible or scroll-able too
see the attachment, the circled area shows how you can't start playing the item, because there's no "Play on web" button or option to get to it (no scroll bars on the right side)
This is my 1st real public complaint about this, but my 5th or 6th attempt (emails and chats) at getting DISH to see get some fixes started!
Anyone else bothered by these stupid kindergarden mistakes?

Have done that.. many times.. you would think at some point they might get the clue and post a "beta" or "we're working on it" page so that people would at least have some hope that they would be getting heard... but some of these things are just blatently idiotic. I mean really ... did they not have a DVR to look at and see how it sorts by date? ie.. date of most recently recorded item to oldest? ... and yet in their app they sorted alphabetically by date. And then worse, they group by default.. by names that *arent* visible to the customer any more (when looking at a DVR event, you rename it, but it keeps the old name when its "uploaded" for the DVR Web page)... it just pisses me off even more any time I think about it..
I think what I'd like most.. is for everyone that's noticed these problems to also continually complain until Dish does something about it..
we're paying for a service, they certainly should have gotten some of these things in the beginning if not before they rolled it out to everyone.. and what we've noticed makes the service better for all..

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET PART OF IT. NO ONE WANTS A BOX CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET EITHER.

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
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....

I was bewildered with all the new DISH TV "Bonus View" channels, so I put together a web page table with all the info I could find. It's at:
https://anythingpeaceful.org/dishtv/DISH_TV_Bonus_View_Channels.html
Here's a partial screenshot of the table, as sorted by Channel Name. (You can click on a column header to sort.)
If you have any corrections or suggestions, please post here.
