And I will say, while I am looking at options for when my contract runs out, even though I've had either Directv or Dish since 1995, and Youtube TV looks pretty amazing for the price and channels and responsiveness to customers, nothing I've looked at or experienced is as good as the Dish Hopper 3 DVR system. I hate, on Netflix or Hulu or AmPrime, how the FF and REW work compared to the Dish system. If I move, I will miss the Hopper 3 system.
FOX Dispute?

That is because, whenever one of these disputes is looming, Dish will remove the OTA guide mapdown link from the satellite-delivered feed of the local channel, and uplink a separate guide data stream to mapdown to the OTA channel instead. That way, when the satellite-delivered feed gets removed, and its guide info gets changed to the dispute message, the OTA station will still have the proper guide info. This brings me to a point raised in the other thread:
Some of us did know that this was coming, due to the uplink activity I described above. That was our heads up. I even posted about it in another thread at the time:
That is why it is important to read as many threads here as possible, or at least read the uplink reports, available here: Uplink Activity Updates
since news like this does not always get its own thread, at least not until the dispute actually happens.
Add Chicago to the list of markets without a RSN on Dish, due to the NBC Sports Chicago dispute. Pretty soon, Dish will have to lower the price of the basic packages, and charge extra in the few markets that still have their RSN. Otherwise, Dish could just drop the remaining RSN's when those contracts expire, and just go without the normally scheduled price increase for the basic packages next year.
Bought a Roku Premiere device last Friday and activated Hulu + Live TV (free one week trial).
So far, so good
. Has my Atlanta DMA RSNs, FS1, FS2, Big Ten Network, so I'm happy. May have to cut back on what I subscribe to on Dish.Give it a try and see if it works for you.
Does it have a nice TV guide? Does the cloud work good?Bought a Roku Premiere device last Friday and activated Hulu + Live TV (free one week trial).

Haven't really "explored" the product's capabilities in detail. Perhaps someone that has had it longer than 5 days (me
) can help with those questions.Take advantage of the free one week trial. You can then see if it meets you needs.
OK, thanks. I did the YouTube trail thru my LG TV app last weekend. The next big thing I want from FS1 I am going to try the Hulu trail thru my 4K Firestick.Haven't really "explored" the product's capabilities in detail. Perhaps someone that has had it longer than 5 days (me

We’re disappointed to see FOX put our customers in the middle of its negotiations by choosing to remove their channels from DISH’s lineup FOX is demanding a double-digit percentage rate increase for continued carriage of its local channels. FOX is also attempting to “force bundle” it’s local channels with unrelated cable networks to get more money, and gain negotiating leverage.For the most up-to-date information regarding our negotiations visit DISHpromise.com. -Kim H.
Yes, and it is pretty much the exact same canned response already given by Trisha R.
I guess Kim H. does not read Trisha R.'s posts, or it would have been apparent that this was already a case of "asked and answered."
I love having Dish Support, but miss the old days when they would simply post a one sentence liner to send them a private message, so they could see if they could help. The current incarnation does remind me of talking to a voice enabled phone system. That's just going off many of the posts I ready here.Yes, and it is pretty much the exact same canned response already given by Trisha R.

Go to their Facebook page and try it there, if you can get past the people complaining.
I'm with you on that. The old DIRT members helped me many times.
If you can figure out which one is the official Dish Facebook page! I had to ask here to get the right one.
And yet you didn't share that information.
I knew at one time but have forgotten as of a few months ago.
Why are you laughing at my failing memory?
