Very shortsighted of TX politicians. They should be jumping at the chance to bring more jobs into the state thanks to EV manufacturing. Sure oil industry jobs will be “lost,” but they will transition to jobs in the EV car industry, battery manufacturing. Same with solar panels - someone has to...

Agreed. People speak so negatively of EVs, but forget we didn’t go from the Model T to the Corvette overnight. Gas stations didn’t exist everywhere when the T came out. Things take time and infrastructure will be built. Battery technology will continue to improve. And yes, you can actually make...

The old Dish remotes work for me on the Wally (and Hopper 3). The 20.x and 21.x models. I can’t stand the newer remotes. Sorry you had bad luck with the Wally. Wish we could have helped before things escalated so much with the wife. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ooh is this a thing? My parents couldn’t get theirs to activate after it being off for the winter, and I finally had them hook it to their regular dish on the house and it magically activated right away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think 211k was the way to go so you can hook the antenna to it for locals. You could always buy a firestick for $20 somewhere for streaming. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What happened, did it stop working again? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was not enabled by default on my H3. I had to manually turn it on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The re-auth requests on the dish website NEVER work for me, I’m convinced they literally do nothing. I always have to call or chat. Depending on the chat rep, it could take 2 minutes or 20 minutes before they will send a signal to authorize it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had to do the same, but due to a roof replacement. The new tech didn’t point it as well, and I lost 3-4 points on all my transponders. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s a $30 fee if allowed by your state. I just canceled mine and did have to pay the $30 fee. It’s also spelled out in the terms of the agreement. If you were trying to save money on the $95 technician fee, and you’re canceling after a month, you’re still saving a good amount of money...

This is exactly what it’s like calling Dish. Excellent summary. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You will love the H3. It is fast and minimal lag. And you might find yourself enjoying the 16 tuners. Glad Dish hooked you up and you got a new promotional offer! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dish and Direct merging at some point is the only path forward, just like Sirius and XM. There will always be a market for satellite tv for the foreseeable future, but the market share is certainly shrinking every day. We’ll also see streamers and tv providers continue to consolidate and merge...

Why does Signal Protector default to Off. seems like a great feature everyone would want. If you have data caps or maybe satellite internet (not Starlink) I guess I could see maybe not wanting to use it. But it is BURIED in the menu, not an easy to find and activate feature. Sent from my...

I’d pay extra for my local RSN too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
