Still no broadband, no surprise there. I know, I know - the techs are working on it. (And "the check is in the mail, " and "I'm from the government, I'm here to help you.")
I agree with WuDeVeR on the modem. I'm not paying for one when I don't need it. Everything else works just fine. Besides, what happens when you pay all that money for a modem and then they do another "update" and it's time to go out buy another modem. No, I'll wait until they fix this on their end. Just so long as it doesn't take too long
Right now the real irritating part is the dropping-channels-from-my-favorites thingy. It use to happen overnight, I figured it had something to do with the late-night updates. But now it happens several times a day. It just happened right now! I noticed my local channel 21 was missing (again), so I went in and edited it back in there. Then, while I was typing this out the screen blinked and went to the upper left with a black background and then went back. Out of curiosity I picked up the remote and checked the guide and channel 12 was gone. That's at least 5 times today.
C'mon Dish, get it together. I know "the tech's are working on it", but meanwhile, I'm paying for it.
Let me try something we haven't thought about trying yet..... "Please Dish, fix my hopper."
