Decided to cancel my two Joeys today and use Dish Anywhere on those tv's. Is there anything I need to do with the node or any of the other wiring?

Remember the Hopper streams to just one device at a time unlike the Joeys which both can stream.

Just keep in mind that you will only be able to watch one of those TVs at any one time. There is only one output of DishAnywhere...

Yes, I knew about this limitation with DA. Haven't told my wife yet though...

For one of the two tv's that had Joey's we also have a component feed in from the Hopper. As long as no one is using the Hopper downstairs that tv can use it. This was how we could have service on two tv's when we had a 922 and 211 on the 3rd tv. Since there's just the two of us we shouldn't have many conflicts.

Our bill with the AT120+ w/locals had jumped to $128/month so it was time to make some changes.

Are you getting existing customer discounts?

My two year price guarantee just ended. They gave me two new options. The first was the one they really pushed which was a new two year price guarantee that amounted to a $25/month credit for two years with no yearly increase. That got me back to about what I was paying. They also offered a $40/month credit for one year with no price guarantee. Either way it was still more than I wanted to pay right now. As of today the two Joey's are cancelled and I switched to the Flex Pack for at least the summer. When my Badgers start playing again in the fall I'll have to figure out a new plan.The next thing on the chopping block is the $12 local pkg.

Can't quite give up the last Joey here. Cannot see indoctrinating better half on anything new yet. After getting her familiar with the new Hopper interface she's become quite handy with it.

Why wouldn't you just keep the flex pack and just add the regional action pack or national action pack on Saturdays as needed?

Can you add and delete those that quickly without a $5 fee?

No fee with Flex pack to change the additional packs like National pack, news pack, etc.

And everything is prorated. So if you use a $12 add on for a day, it'll cost about 40 cents.

Cool! This might work. Other than Badger games I don't watch Big 10 or the ESPN channels much. The Flex Pack has most of what we need.

I dropped all Joeys about two years ago in lieu of three fire sticks.

I do still have 2 hoppers with sling which makes it easier to use dish anywhere. It took the wife a few days. The kids - 2 mins.

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....

Hello everyone, new guy here. I'm trying to solve problem I'm having with Dish bonus view channels. When I'm watching the bonus view channels then I switch back to regular dish channels, after few minutes the screen flips to black and after 30 seconds flips back to regular channels and continues to flip back and forth until I turn off TV. After I wait 30 minutes and turn back on , I can use regular channels again. So, its after I switch from bonus view channels to regular dish channels the problem starts. Been trying to fix this for a month, but no luck
Here what I've done.
i contacted Dish support and they sent me a new Joey3, but no help. Switched to a different HDMI input on TV, no help. Used different HDMI cable , no help. Used different electrical wall plug, no help.
Finally got a Dish tech to check it. He ran all systems check and was OK. Finally he brought in a small TV and plugged in the HDMI out from the Joey to the small TV. He could not get the problem to occur on his small TV, so the new Joey was working OK. So, then the problem must be myTV. He made some phone calls and came back with the answer that there must be a problem with the analog to digital switch in my TV. Has anyone ever heard of a problem like this, or is it time to be looking for a new TV? My tv LG OLED65C8PUA. TV has been trouble free til now. Thanks

I've been retired since October. It was very strange at first. But I'm loving it now.

I had a very unusual but delicious 1/4lb hotdog with cream cheese, raspberry preserves and chopped Hatch green chile. It is an unlikely combination but it works.

New low power station has been granted by the FCC and the new call leter is K33OB-D on RF ch. 33.

Will run at 15 KW ERP, this one runs from the Westside same location as KWPL-LD a HC2 owned station.

It's going to be aimed at eastern part of Albuquerque, so it's tightly focused beam pattern.

This new station is owned by Digital Network and what kind of programmings is unkown at this time.😎

Many of these in my DMA are on cell towers, so don't always reach very far because the towers aren't very high.

Did anyone have a price increase today on their equipment? I own my VIP211k's, and they have been $5.00. My bill that I received last week shows the "add-ons" as being $5.00. However, I just logged into my Dish account, and my "add-ons" are now $10.00. Did the additional receivers go up by $5.00 recently?

As I mentioned, my last bill shows $5.00 and under the notes, nothing is mentioned about a price increase.

However, when I make a change (tried to add the Columbian pack for $2 so I could generate my bill) and there is a new line - it says "Access for TV" - whereas previously that line item was not there. I hope they aren't charging $5.00 for the initial TV now...

Apparently it's not an "owned receiver" fee but rather an extension fee that's applied to 2nd and subsequent viewing. Maybe that played into their decision to force a box at every TV- garnering those fees

Possibly. In theory, $9 of the base pack has a rental fee built in. But now is this $5 a chance to get a little more? I don't know for sure. According to chat, it is a glitch and will be resolved in a timely manner, but we shall see. Part of my thinks there is a going to be a new charge, whether it is now or this fall. Here in Illinois, the law requires we are given 30 days notice of any fee changes, but I have not been given anything.

These fees are why streaming has caught on so well across the country and DISH is losing subs each quarter. Soon won't be enough subs to be profitable.
