Is there a grandfather clause? I can still view recordings stored in my hard drive from a channel I no longer subscribe too. It never ask me to subscribe to the channel again when I play them back.
HBO discount offer + contract re-negotiation?

When my HWSs went to the new CUI the recordings still worked. Also they still work when I went to Hopper 3s. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned this. Hope I don't lose them now. The channel I subscribed too was very expensive. I hate to have to get it again. My damn bill is high enough.
That is how I always play the recordings that I use to subscribe to that channel, from the EHD. Recently I had an EHD starting to act up so I transferred most of the recordings back to one of my Hopper 3s and they still work.
Me too. I checked my old bills. I subscribed to this channel from March 2008 to August 2015. Maybe the DISH computer is cutting me a break.
I have found two or three conditions on recordings.
One a large dialogue box in the center of the screen persists as long as the show is playing.
Two the large box gives way to a smaller box at the bottom of the screen for the duration.
Three the large box stays for a minute or two and goes away.
Punching OK on the remote has mixed results. It may take you to the offer to subscribe and back to the large box or it may speed the removal of the dialogue boxes.
I haven't documented which channels or record dates react in which fashion and probably won't.

Maybe the decision on whether it stays and plays depends upon whether you recorded it while actually subscribing as opposed to a free preview.
If that were the case, I would think they would cater to the customers who paid for the content.
actually it doesn't. charlesrshell, who was a subscriber is still able to watch his recordings although he doesn't subscribe any longer.
Where did you get this? If there's any truth to it, I'll cancel Dish in a heartbeat. I would never put up with CRAP like this.
Sorry, I thought I read another post besides mine that reported the opposite as well.
Update from shy subscriber who hates conflicts: A few days before my HBO was set to expire, I did a chat and simply asked if I could continue at $10/month since everyone got that offer. She said, "Not at this time (computer etc.) but we will take care of you later". She implied there was even a better deal we could do then. So I clicked out of the chat and changed my "Continue Program @ $15" to "Do not continue". Well....I forgot about everything but noticed this week that GoT was not set up to record. That reminded me that 8/1 had come and gone.
So I was prepared to go back and "Chat", but when I went to "My Programing" on the website, it simply had an empty box among the list that had HBO @ $10/month for a year. Rather than Chat (even though there was an implication of even a better deal) I simply checked the HBO box and now have another year @ $10.
Sundays GoT is now on my schedule.
My Daughter recorded a movie from Encore during the recent freeview and I just had a Chance to try playing it and it did. I did need to hit the cancel button to remove the subscribe now box. (Carbon UI)
