When Dish dropped the 129 and 77 birds, all I did to my portable 1000.4 setup for my RV was slap some aluminum tape over the unused LNB's to minimize aiming errors when setting up at new camp sites. Otherwise, everything worked normally.

There's no WA LOS anywhere on our upstate NY property. That would rule out any thoughts of returning to Dish from streaming for us.

I bought 55" ONN Roku TV when they were on sale. I haven't checked out the Roku apps yet beyond a brief look while setting it up, since I set the startup to automatically use the HDMI port that has my HDMI scaling splitter attached. The splitter has a Firestick 4K MAX installed that was already...

Looks good!

I wonder if changing the logo to "SATELLITE GUYS & MORE" would be helpful when the new domain brings people in to check it out?

The Winegard app works ok on my Samsung A51 with version 13, so I wonder what they changed in 14 that Winegard hasn't caught up with.

Thanks for the info, Mike. I run DishPointer on an older spare phone, so I wasn't aware of the Android version issue.

I don't know what you've been streaming, but other than cable-like YouTubeTV, we like watching the old westerns on the Grit channel on the Frndly app. We also watch the History Channel on Frndly, since YTTV doesn't carry it. We watch NHL hockey games on ESPN+ and movies on Netflix. Off hand, I...

As long as DishPointer is still working, I'd keep on using it. About the only thing that changes are the satellite listings from time to time. The current Dish and Directv locations rarely change, so that shouldn't be a problem. The current locations have been the same for years, and when 77 and...

The Winegard Signal Finder app does both satellite and OTA locations. The satellite function includes an AR display similar to DishPointer Pro. I used both with equal results during my fulltiming days until we went all streaming. Oh, and the app is free...

Restricting CONUS locals to Wallys would leave out a lot of Hopper using RV'ers. Then again, with an "Outdoor" account, it's a simple matter to change locals using the Dish app.

WRGB Channel 6. No, I do not have Showtime. Thanks for the link, that explains it.

Paramount+ does not carry our local CBS outlet.

I know a lot of people that went to streaming for the lower costs. Including my wife and I. We're paying YTTV about half what we were paying Dish.

With the current $10 hike, I doubt they'll raise it again until at least next year. Absorbing the Paramount hit would likely cost less than the possible subscriber loss from another hike too soon.
