So this is what Disney said they were going to do regarding password sharing in their email.
*something unspecific*

Their email did include a link to the T&C... seriously!

How will this impact subscribers? Who knows. It depends on how they manage it. But I don't think they'll do as well as Netflix. Disney+ is much more niche than Netflix.

The profitability of (or lack there of) these services always seemed like a shell game. I don't see how ESPN+ makes "money" in any sense of the word that is credible, other than the cost to distribute the signal is less than the revenue from distribution. My problem is where is the cost of the programming being saddled?

The trouble with Disney+ is that their content is limited. It has a lot of popular stuff, but it doesn't take long for the consumer to become saturated with the content. Probably a reason to stop selling physical media to force people to have to stream.

The profitability of (or lack there of) these services always seemed like a shell game.

It takes time to make a profit, for example, it had taken 6 years for both DirecTV and Netflix to have their first profitable quarter ( Netflix had a few unprofitable quarters after that, look at them now), Dish Network and Amazon 9 years.

Now today, look at where Netflix and Amazon are, then look at DirecTV, whose profits are shrinking every quarter because of sub loss (now over 15 Million have left and growing) and Dish Network, who has had two unprofitable quarters in a row, who's only hope is if someone loans a lot of money, about $15-20 Billion to cover the next 3 years or invests in the company.

Disney+ did it in 5 Years.
I don't see how ESPN+ makes "money" in any sense of the word that is credible, other than the cost to distribute the signal is less than the revenue from distribution.
ESPN+ will soon be going away, first it will be combined with the new service from Disney, Warner and Fox, the Sports centric Live Channel streaming service.

Then when ESPN launches their streaming service, ESPN+ will be combined with that.
My problem is where is the cost of the programming being saddled?
That will soon be changed , the production costs will be spread amongst all of them.

Instead of having the costs of streaming content in one house, Broadcast/Cable Channels in another and then licensing fees also.

They will combine all of them together to share the costs and shows.

For example, shows will appear on the paid service first, then on the channels second.

We are already at the point where some Cable Channels are no longer producing new content, because they are not taking in enough $$$, Broadcast Networks is about two years away.

Some are already doing this, FX's budget has been combined with Hulu, that is why new shows premiere same day, on the Cable Channel in 720P, on Hulu in 4K.

Sports rights are also spread out over all of the companies, streaming and broadcasting.

And yes, this will result in less content, which will also help keep costs down.
The trouble with Disney+ is that their content is limited. It has a lot of popular stuff, but it doesn't take long for the consumer to become saturated with the content.
Which is why they have been buying so much, Fox, Star Wars, Marvel, etc.

If it was just plain old Disney, I agree, but with the rest, there is plenty of other content, for example on Disney+, we still have two new Live Action Star Wars and two for Marvel, plus all new movies that are at theaters this year, for example the new Planet of the Apes and Alien ( both Fox properties) will be on about 3 months after theaters.
Probably a reason to stop selling physical media to force people to have to stream.
All studios, not just Disney, is planning this.

Yes they will license more to the smaller companies, like Arrow and Shout, but since no new players are being designed and soon production will stop on building, the industry will die out over time, just like VHS and Laserdiscs.

Also does not help the only place to purchase will soon be online, stops all impulse buys at the physical stores.

Did what in 5 years? You listed two companies and the basis for them saying they made profit is open to less interpretation.

What does Disney+ being profitable actually represent in a non-accounting gimmick sort of way?
Which is why they have been buying so much, Fox, Star Wars, Marvel, etc.
They bought it because they were smart and debt was nearly at no additional cost.
If it was just plain old Disney, I agree, but with the rest, there is plenty of other content, for example on Disney+, we still have two new Live Action Star Wars and two for Marvel, plus all new movies that are at theaters this year, for example the new Planet of the Apes and Alien ( both Fox properties) will be on about 3 months after theaters.
I don't think there is. I like Marvel, I like watching Star Wars with the Rifftrax. But unless I can't buy the new movies, I don't have to be able to stream the service, as Disney is simply not producing enough to make it a must carry for 12 months a year. This is going to be the problem with a la carte. Cable/Sat worked because one channel didn't have to carry the entire subscription. Now channels want you so solely subscribe to them. ESPN+ works (as long as the sub likes the sports around the season). Disney wants a relatively high amount of money (from $85 last year to $149 next year) for me to stream a lot of movies I already own and have seen repeatedly, with the later being the bigger problem.

So, here is how I look at it: I used to pay like $120/month for Dish/DirecTV for a whole home DVR and 4 rooms with a higher-end programming package with HBO or Showtime. I probably watched about 10% of the channels I had in a given week at best, but I still struggled to find things to watch at times, so I added Netflix when it became available. We mainly watched first run TV shows and new movies as they are released for home viewing.

I now pay the around the same amount for Netflix HD, Disney+/Hulu, AppleTV+, Paramount+, Peacock, and YouTube Premium. Probably a little less actually as I use discounted gift cards and annual subscriptions to reduce the costs. But, I also get Max included with my Internet package (which I would have anyway) and I have Amazon Prime which includes Prime Video.

Aside from Prime Video, rarely a week goes by that my wife and I watch nothing on any single one of these services. So, while we are paying around the same amount as before, we are actually watching content on more of the services (aka "channels") that we are paying for. Now, we are probably watching the same amount of TV as before, and it may actually be a smaller percentage of the total hours of content available to us, so the fundamental issue of paying for a lot of things we don't watch still exists.

The model had changed, but the fundamentals of our behavior hasn't really. We can watch what we want when we want, and there is way more TV we're interested in to watch than we have time for.

You are paying too much if close to $120.

This is current pricing for what you have, I also pay less thanks to Gift Cards I get with my CC points

Hulu/Disney+ $20 for you
Peacock-$139 a year
Paramount+ w/Showtime $119
Netflix HD -$16 (rounding)
Apple $100 a year
YT Premium $14
Prime $139

Comes out to $91 a month for you.

Myself
Paramount+ with Showtime $120 a year, so $10 a month. ( love this service)

Peacock-$20 for the year, so $1.66 a month ( will round to $2), only have it for College/NFL Football, except for that, hate this service.

Hulu/Disney+/ESPN+ $25 a month

MAX-$140 ($11.66 a month) for the year, recent special, which is the 4K tier.

Apple TV+-three years ago, Costco had Apple TV+ gift cards on sale for $29.99 for a year of service, bought 6 of them , redeemed, service expires in 2027, so basically $2.50 a month.

Netflix-$23 a month. 4K tier.

So rounded off, $74 a month, for the highest tiers, no commercials, 4K where available, the majority of new content from Paid Live TV, streaming exclusives, HBO and Showtime, etc.

The only thing missing for me, is AMC+, but I subscribe to that during Prime Day, usually it is on sale for $2 a month for 2-3 months, catch up, then cancel.

I do have Prime, but I have it for the shipping , every once in a while I will check out the shows, but I would never subscribe to it by itself.

Of course, this is household to household thing. My point is a la carte will be problematic regarding come and go and comeback and go again churn due to the lack of newer content.

Personally, I get weary of nickel and diming with all of the services, and prioritization becomes a thing.

I grew up extremely poor, nickel and dime is the way I know.

Actually get a slight thrill by getting the best deals I can get.

Hulu/Disney/ESPN, Netflix, Paramount+ and Google (last year YTTV and Sunday Ticket) I pay for with Gift Cards I get with my CC points, so the only cash is for Peacock, MAX, Apple TV, Prime which comes to $27.50 a month.

I actually have the Apple One Premier plan for my family of 5, so I was including the entire price of that. I actually get YT Premium annually as well. I use gift cards I get on sale at Target (Red Card and Target Circle discounts), Best Buy, and Sam's to save on everything except Prime, which I use my Amazon Prime Credit Card to get 5% back on. I don't track all the discounts, but it is at least 5% on everything and closer to 15% for Apple and Google.

Due to security concerns and the fact that the Tapatalk Plugin for Xenforo is no longer being updated we have removed Tapatalk support from SatelliteGuys.

For those who were using it we recommend using our PWA App instead which is faster and does not have all the spam Tapatalk had. Below is a graphic showing how to add SatelliteGuys to your devices home screen. (While iOS is shown the process is mostly the same for Android.)

Thanks for your understanding. :)

What is PWA app? PWA utilities seem to be a Spanish app. I hope you are seeing this since nothing seems to be working. I will miss SatelliteGuys. Tapatalk worked well. The Siri browser doesn't seem to work well.

I have had good experiences with Brave but lately I am frustrated with it.

Now when I launch the app it shows a box at the bottom asking if I want to go back to the last opened page. It is in conveniently located and I would prefer to eliminate it.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Please let's not sidetrack the discussion into an exploration of why I don't care for it or a lecture about all the wonderful aspects of the feature. I just do not care for it.

I don't have an Android phone so I don't know if this will apply to the Brave settings on your android device but it works on the desktop for me.

Change this setting to either startup to a different website or a new tab page. I have mine set to open to google.com instead of where I left off and it doesn't ask me at the next startup if I want to open the last opened page unless it crashed.

Thank you for trying to help. However thrse choices do not appear in Android. There is a setting for "New Tab Pages" that is similar but does not include your choice. I have tried all of the existing entries with no success

Hello everyone.

I am new here and I done a search on MLB Extra Innings and DISH and it led me to this forum and so I signed up and hopefully someone can help me out with some issues.

First off, I am a DISH Outdoors customer and I signed up for service back in late October of 2025. I have a Wally HD Receiver and I am using the DISH Playmaker OS 2.1 as my Antenna that operates on 110 and 119 Western Arc and Alternative 61.5, 110, and 119 satellites. I signed up for MLB Extra Innings back in March before the season began. I was excited to be able to watch MLB Extra Innings because I love baseball and I use to have MLB Extra Innings on Satellite DIRECTV back in 2001-2004 and on Satellite DISH back in 2016 and 2017.

I was a bit disappointed when I found out that it is actually MLB.TV Simulcasted to DISH Satellite (More on that later) Anyways I have been watching faithfully almost every night however about a week ago there was a problem. When I went to go to the game to watch a game the game wouldn't come in an I would send a refresh signal to my receiver and then I could watch the programming and when I went to switch games at that games appointed time slot my Wally HD Receiver who lockup where I couldn't change any channels or view the guide and it would reboot. The next night when I turned to a game at game start it still had the background it shows before the game started and again send a refresh signal and went though this same thing over and over. I added a movie channel to my lineup and had issues with showing up my Dish Wally HD Receiver.

With an investigation after several calls with DISH Support it was determined that by going to the diagnostics screen that I had a issue with my Tuner because any changes that I made to my programming these changes would not take affect on the Wally HD Receiver. In other words that Wally HD Receiver was toast!

I too had reported MLB Extra Innings issue to DISH and they created a ticket for it and said that someone would investigate the issue. I too took notice that under MyDISH account under MLB Extra Innings always before it would show that I was subscribed and on auto-renew. Now it shows nothing and even after logging out and deleting my User Name and Password so that I can see it in guest mode it too doesn't even list a price and option for purchase as does the now WNBA League Pass.

After my DISH Receiver was ruined I had to buy a new Wally HD Receiver. I took advantage an bought 2 HD Wally's and added them both to my account. I called back to remove the old box off of the account and was told it was linked to MLB Extra Innings and the advanced technical support team said there was a glitch with MLB Extra Innings and hope to have a resolution in a couple of days and I could call back in to then to remove the box. But both the 2 new Wally HD Receivers are activated on my account. I asked them what the problem was with MLB Extra Innings and how long it would be and I was told there was a glitch as I asked to specify what they meant and got no answer. I again went and checked the MyDISH account page under the MLB Extra Innings page and it still doesn't list me as subscribed and after logging out and deleting my User Name and Password so I could it see it as a guest mode and it still doesn't list the price and option for purchase as it does for the WNBA League Pass.

I am afraid to boot up these boxes and go through the activation screen process because of the issues with the MLB Extra Innings in fear it will do the same or mess up my boxes from being able to receive MLB Extra Inning because or any other programing because I was told that MLB Extra Innings wouldn't come in on those new box because it was activated with the Wally that is ruined and it needs removed first.

Now I have no DISH service going on a week and miss my MLB Extra Innings when the races are just heating up and now with two boxes activated I can't boot up because I am afraid it will mess them up and I will be out the $180.00 or so dollars I made in purchase on the receivers.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with their MLB Extra Innings and does anyone really know what this so called glitch actually is? I can't seem to get a clear answer from anybody and don't even know if it will even be fixed or anyone really understands it.

Now to my previous statement on how I was disappointed that MLB Extra Innings is actually MLB.TV in simulcast. When I had MLB Extra Innings before with DIRECTV in 2001-2004 and with DISH form 2016 and 2017. They would always show the commercials for every teams broadcast from their local market and all games would be authentic just as if you were watching in their home market. After I quit DISH I went to streaming for awhile and I done MLB.TV and I hated their features because of the no commercials, the delayed times of getting back after the commercial break, and not being able to listen to what studios had to say when they would cut into the studios, and always looking at the screen during commercial breaks with a screen that says commercial break in progress and a silhouette background of MLB Players doing baseball things and the their crazy commercial breaks sound. I was excited to go back to DISH thinking I escaped the horrors of MLB.TV. Well its actually the same thing. I compared them side by side and actually MLB.TV is ahead by just a few seconds. So actually MLB Extra Innings on Satellite is delayed from time period wise from actually watching MLB.TV which shows it is simulcasted. My question is when did this start? And is this legal? This isn't what I know MLB Extra Innings to be. I too had signed up for NHL Center Ice this past winter and thank goodness its authentic! They still have the commercials and its like watching it as you were in their home network and its the way it oughta be even if you only do get one feed of NHL Center Ice per team on DISH and don't know which feed it is every night.

Looking forward to your responses. So far happy with DISH but unhappy with this last week and the ruining of a Wally HD Receiver.

I hope I can be of some contribution here as well.

Sincerely,

I know they are doing some major satellite work - the second satellite at 110 which is now in use, and they are moving channels between 119 and 110. Maybe since there are no other sports going on, have they temporarily cut back on the out of market sports packages? I am not sure. It looks like those channels are all coming from 119 TP 13, 110 TP 12, and 110 TP 09.

Also, Dish's Scheduled Satellite Maintenance page doesn't have anything going on:

Trying to get use to this forum and where everything is located at. I saw you responded from my post on the changes and took me a while to get back to see this post. But yes, it is exactly what I was thinking. I too noticed the change of MLB Extra Innings from 110 to 119. Because of 30 teams they have to algin everything. Only other sport going on PPV wise is WNBA League Pass and I do not have a subscription to that but maybe some else who has it can confirm what they done and what satellite and transponders they are on.

This is a big shift for DISH. I just hope if Charlie Ergen does ever sell out to anyone that I can continue to use my DISH Playmaker and I can keep my Wally's. If its anything like what happened to DIRECTV a few years back which turned out to be a total disaster when AT&T acquired DIRECTV nothing there changed with boxes or anything and you continued to use the same service but I was very surprised to see AT&T sell it to TPG especially after they had just bought it now long ago.

Update on MLB Extra Innings as of 5:50 P.M. CDT June 10, 2026...

I am getting tired of not being able to watch any baseball games and having paid for MLB Extra Innings and not knowing what the reason is I called dish back at 1-800-333-3474. I guess after all of my calls my call was routed to the Advanced Technical Support Team. I had something happen that I never knew they could do and they gained access into my Wally Receiver. I was told settings look good and right now on the only channel that shows is the MLB1 Baltimore Orioles Channel. They are playing the at home against the Seattle Mariners right now. She was able to access to that channel which prompted a purchase a Rent option. That signaled a red flag to her right away. She escalated a ticket with photographs and info from my screen to the top tier advanced programing technical department and told me they received the ticket and are reviewing it now. They got back to her and said they would have information within 30 minutes. I either get the channels within 30 minutes or I am to call back and they will advance from there. Seems like maybe my persistence is paying off. I will keep you informed. Maybe we can all have a resolution to this shortly.

Seems like maybe my persistence is paying off. I will keep you informed. Maybe we can all have a resolution to this shortly.

Update on MLB Extra Innings as of 5:50 P.M. CDT June 10, 2026...

I am getting tired of not being able to watch any baseball games and having paid for MLB Extra Innings and not knowing what the reason is I called dish back at 1-800-333-3474. I guess after all of my calls my call was routed to the Advanced Technical Support Team. I had something happen that I never knew they could do and they gained access into my Wally Receiver. I was told settings look good and right now on the only channel that shows is the MLB1 Baltimore Orioles Channel. They are playing the at home against the Seattle Mariners right now. She was able to access to that channel which prompted a purchase a Rent option. That signaled a red flag to her right away. She escalated a ticket with photographs and info from my screen to the top tier advanced programing technical department and told me they received the ticket and are reviewing it now. They got back to her and said they would have information within 30 minutes. I either get the channels within 30 minutes or I am to call back and they will advance from there.

Final Update... As of 8:08 P.M. CDT June 10, 2026.

I now have MLB Extra Innings back! Look at the photo! (I did not include full image of the game due to copyright)

Let me just say it was rough! Very rough! And lets just say Charlie Ergen should be ashamed of his customer service team and how they handled this whole issue.

After multiple calls after my last post only to get the run around with answers like there are no refunds on MLB Extra Innings once the season starts, to they are working on it, to accessing my screen and sending multi hits to the box.

All I asked was one simple question remove the MLB Extra Innings which they confirmed I had and reauthorize free of charge. I was given a 1,000 reasons why this couldn't be done.

Well..........

I paid for it myself.... $120.00 current rate and it works!

I called back in to let them know what I done and what I thought of the customer service and told them I needed refunded. I was told they didn't do refunds....

Well again I called back and got someone who refunded the original payment of $150.00 back to my account. A $30 discount for all the hard trouble I went though.

It is now up to you all out there that have MLB Extra Innings to try to get them to do this but I am afraid you are going to have to take your own action and purchase again and beg for a refund or be out the $150.00 originally paid.

Persistence pays off. I don't give up very easily.

You can all go here below to make the purchase if you have any trouble.


I hope it all works well for you! And best of luck to everyone who has it!

I will still be around on this forum. You all sound like a fine group of people! I hope I can contribute more.

Take care!

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.)

One added, one removed. But I think it's really only a name change, with similar (or identical?) programming.
