I noticed that the EPIX content on "www.dishonline.com" was "Locked" for my account. I am subscribed to AEP and got the free for a year Platinum out of the 30 years celebration. I guessed that must be an error but I chat with a Tier 2 Tech Support that told me that the free for a year Platinum customers could not access the Epix content on "www.dishonline.com" See the following chat transcript for details...

Welcome to DISH Network Chat.
Manuel (ID: X2U): Hello Eduardo.
Manuel (ID: X2U): How may I help you today?
Eduardo Bravo: I wanted to know if I could access Epix online content on "www.dishonline.com" out of my free for 1 year Platinum package...right now access to Epix content is blocked on "www.dishonline.com"
Manuel (ID: X2U): I will be happy to assist you with your request.
Manuel (ID: X2U): Please give me a moment to research.
Manuel (ID: X2U): Your patience is greatly appreciated.
Manuel (ID: X2U): I am sorry to inform that currently we do not carry EPIX content on "www.dishonline.com" website.
Eduardo Bravo: It is right there beside HBO...HBO content I could access without problem...
Manuel (ID: X2U): Okay.
Eduardo Bravo: It is "Locked" for my account (the Epix content). I think that if I have Platinum Package i should be able to access Epix content on "www.dishonline.com"
Manuel (ID: X2U): I understand your concern Eduardo.
Eduardo Bravo: Okay
Manuel (ID: X2U): I am sorry to inform that you cannot access Epix content on dishonline.com.
Manuel (ID: X2U): We are always looking for ways to improve our service, and we appreciate your input. I will forward your comments and concerns to the proper department.
Eduardo Bravo: The free Platinum for a year customers do not get the Epix content on "www.dishonline.com" ?
Eduardo Bravo: Can you transfer me to the proper department?
Eduardo Bravo: this chat session...
Manuel (ID: X2U): I will help you with that issue.
Manuel (ID: X2U): For security purposes, Would you please verify the 4 digit PIN on the account?
Eduardo Bravo: Okay
Eduardo Bravo: ----
Manuel (ID: X2U): Thank you.
Manuel (ID: X2U): Please be on chat while I get you connected to the specialized team for further assistance.
Manuel (ID: X2U) has left the session.
Please wait while we find an agent from the (17) Tier 2 Tech Support department to assist you.
Thank you for contacting Tier 2 Tech Support. I will be happy to assist you today. Please give me a moment to review the information you have already provided.
Eduardo Bravo: Okay
Jennifer (ID: U61): Thank you.
Jennifer (ID: U61): I do apologize; there is a known issue with our online services. We are actively working to get this back up and running for you. We appreciate your patience and apologize about any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Jennifer (ID: U61): Is there anything else I may assist you with?
Eduardo Bravo: Yes I have had some trouble logging in...but...
Eduardo Bravo: when I was able to log in...
Jennifer (ID: U61): Ok.
Eduardo Bravo: the Epix content on my account was "Locked"...
Jennifer (ID: U61): That is correct. If you are subscribed to any free content, then it will not be available online as a part of your programming options.
Jennifer (ID: U61): Content available varies according to your DISH Network subscription. If a movie or show says upgrade in the top left corner of the thumbnail, you will need to upgrade your subscription to watch it.
Eduardo Bravo: so the customers that got free Platinum for a year cannot get the Epix online content on "www.dishonline.com" (I cannot upgrade, I already have Platinum)...
Jennifer (ID: U61): I apologize but that is correct.
Eduardo Bravo: Weird ?!?
Jennifer (ID: U61): I know I said the same thing myself when I came across the same situation.
Jennifer (ID: U61): I apologize for the inconvenience.
Jennifer (ID: U61): We always appreciate feedback from our customers. You can send us comments by clicking the feedback link at the bottom of the website.
Eduardo Bravo: LOL !!!
Eduardo Bravo: Ok thank you, bye
Jennifer (ID: U61): I'm sorry you had to take time out of your day to chat with us, but I'm glad we were able to resolve your Dishonline.com questions.
Jennifer (ID: U61): Thank you for chatting with DISH Network, have a wonderful day!
Thank you for visiting DISH Network. You may now close this window.


I think that free Platinum for a year customers should have access to EPIX content on "www.dishonline.com". Dish CSR's any comments?

Dish is like a whore house you have to pay to play.

I brought this up in a local google tv thing dish was holding for resellers .

Q. With dishonline why cant customers watch epix or stars if they have it as a promo ?
A. Thank you for asking that. Yes you can search dishonline with google tv and watch programing you subscribe to ..

They always want to know whats going on with customers and how to offer a better experince but turn the deaf ear when you talk.

I too have Platinum free +AEP an all movies shown include Epix are unlocked. I had to relogin with my dish account name and password for some reason it had lost it.

Forgot my Dish password & it isn't worth the effort to reset it since I can most of that stuff via my 722k anyway.

Pissed off at the crappy healthcare costs

My health Insurance renewal for 2027 just came in. Going from $827 a month to $1,187 a month. Deductible going up a $1k to $9,350. Max out of pocket also going up $1k to $11,000. Doctor co-pay of $40. Urgent Care co-pay $50. ER 50% coinsurance after deductible. That's all in network. Out of network is double, should it be needed.

Have to think about this. I'm really tempted to just go without now. I only go to the doctor once or twice a year. I pay out of pocket for Tirzepitide and can do without the Rosuvastatin (crestor) now. Really tired of spending over $10k a year and getting nothing out of it.

After years with Blue Cross I switched last year to Ambetter as my Blue Cross premium was going from $1200 to $1800 for a Silver plan and the Bronze plan was still going to be $1300 at BCBS. Ambetter was $827 for the same coverage with a Bronze plan. Didn't think it would jump this much so soon.

I'm guessing a Silver plan is probably over $2,000 a month for 2027.

I didn't start it as a political statement and have no interest in the political BS of this country. Everyone wants to make everything political nowadays. This was just my rant over the outrageous increase in my premiums and how unaffordable healthcare is becoming to the average person here.

There are no dues to be paid to be in the Pit. You just have to use the password which is clearly shown when you try to log in to it.

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.

Understood. But here's the rub - Google Assistant setup is ALSO missing from the Hopper Plus setup. I'm a paraplegic.and need to use voice controls as much as possible but I can't press a button on the remote to activate Google Assistant. I prefer ALEXA (or ALEXA+) but I have one older google device and will go that route IF they make it available. BTW calling Dish Customer Service is no help- they just say they have no info on if/when there will be an update.

Tell Alexa verbally what to do.

What is the purpose of connecting Alexa and the H3?
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.

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....

So does this mean the churches and businesses that Dish owes back payments to are going to get paid now?

"
They note that the Dish Wireless radios at issue support the 2GHz and 800MHz spectrum SpaceX is acquiring from EchoStar and Grain.

"Buying compatible equipment already installed on towers could give SpaceX a head start on its wireless terrestrial network build and throw a big bucket of cold water on Verizon's four-to-six-year timeline and $300-$500 billion estimate for SpaceX's buildout," said the analysts."

It turns out I was justified in my suspicion.

Gavin Newsom somehow authorized the temporary move of the distribution date of the Winter blend to September 28th.

Does that raise, or lower, the overall price? Our State Government has been doing everything it can to minimize the impact of the current situation and put a freeze on the State Taxes on fuel sales at the pump. That's why we're still under $4.00/gal. while across the border in Michigan it's much higher.

Winter blend is reportedly 10-30 cents cheaper, but I would point out that prices have dropped as much as 62 cents at RP.
