Slight jiggle? SLIGHT JIGGLE! Probably all 3 of my 54's can sense my disdain and then refuse to work like yours do. I have to shake it furiously before it decides to turn the backlight back on! This is the case for all 3 of the damn things.I have gotten the backlight to come back on by setting it down and picking it back up again. But by that time I've lost track of the GD buttons again. Bah humbug! And the perverse combined power on/off button. Don't get me started. And the IR blaster is feeble on mine. With the older remotes, I could point it in any direction and it controlled the TV just fine. Not with the 54. A little off-axis and the TV doesn't respond.
But other than that, you're happy with it, though...right?
That is an excellent question. I do have one 40 in our family room and a 6.3 in IR mode in one of our bedrooms, so utilization of the 54's is low and largely confined to me. I'm learning slowly.
We also have rather low utilization of our entire Hopper/Joey system. My wife prefers our streaming gear and remotes. She was formerly watching Netflix on the H3 both in the family room and basement. But then the Netflix app crapped out and before Dish or Netflix fixed it, she migrated to Netflix on our Roku TV's instead. I have a large discount every month but still my bill is over $100/mo. Am I crazy to keep Dish?

I see that Smithsonian is now in the Stars and Stripes Pack. Hmmm. The Flex Pack with a couple of add-ons might work for me.
What I need is a way to work backwards from the channels I want to the cheapest package that combination of channels require, so I can play around and see what channels I can live without. Does such a facility exist? I currently have AT250 + Movie Pack.
I have toyed with that before and it's about as frustrating as the 54 remote!
That comparison tool still goes forward from packages to channels, and not backward from channels to packages as I wish. I can't select Flex Pack add-ons either.

That's what I was looking at above with your encouragement.
I don't see BBC America anywhere. Is it in one of the Flex Packs?

BBC America channel 135 can be found in our America's Top 200, America's Top 250, America's Everything Pack, and our Latino Max.
No it's not that's why I just sub to Sling when Dr Who airs.That's what I was looking at above with your encouragement.
Have you considered smoke signals ?Slight jiggle? SLIGHT JIGGLE! Probably all 3 of my 54's can sense my disdain and then refuse to work like yours do. I have to shake it furiously before it decides to turn the backlight back on! This is the case for all 3 of the damn things.
Agree on the 40. Now that would be the perfect remote if it had a backlight that stayed on longer.
I'm not exactly young lolAs we get older "button memory" fades in and out.
You'll see...
If your avatar is an accurate indicator of your age you are nowhere near button memory fade.
Well I’m 75 and neither am I!If your avatar is an accurate indicator of your age you are nowhere near button memory fade.
Dr. Who is moving away from BBC America after it's 2020 run and to HBO MAX which will be exclusively streaming service from ATT.
My memory is great too.Well I’m 75 and neither am I!
When I misplace my remote, I remember to check inside the refrigerator.
I'll be 55 next weekIf your avatar is an accurate indicator of your age you are nowhere near button memory fade.
You don't look a day over 54 (and some change)
