The downside of retirement is old age - myself included.

I'm on H380 and don't have 540-01. Seems like that channel may be dedicated to FOX and its OTA stations at this time. Likewise I couldn't watch the Superbowl in 4K.

Don't need to. Have three different types of vehicles with three Sirius XM accounts. All of the channels are the same.

The channels are not different. Definitely not 2 different companies. https://www.siriusxm.com/channels?intcmp=Global%20Nav_NA_www:Home_ChannelGuide

Maybe he should have said espn.com for the scores which is the way I read it.

Do you by any chance get your locals OTA and not via satellite? This could be the reason that 540-01 is missing.

So if Dish and DirecTV merge and if it is not a merger of equals, then AT&T would indirectly own most of a competing cell phone provider. It seems that Dish would have to be spun off from Echostar to get this deal approved.

And my point stands - wife likes the Hopper 3 and Joey. Case closed.

The VIX channels have been there for quite a while. You just probably never noticed them.

A non-dvr is obviously what I was thinking about having no charge for the first box.

Also while you are there make sure Favorite Channels is set to none.

BTW - $7 of that amount is for a Joey in the bedroom because my wife doesn't want to use an app.

You are correct. I checked my bill and am being charged for the H3. Don't know where in my mind that I got the first receiver being free unless it is a non-dvr receiver (211K) that is not charged. Also that website doesn't even list the Hopper 3 which is miles ahead of a Hopper 2.

That is strange because the 99 channels have been there forever and do not require broadband. Did you go to Menu, Menu, Settings, Parental Control, Locked Channels to make sure the channels were not locked out?

Actually $91.39 - 200 package with OTA on the locals. One year contract with $40 credit per month. Have to negotiate that one, though up to now I have always been able to do so.

Do you have the 099 channels or are they missing also? Another couple of things to check - do you have any channels locked out? I have been bitten by that once. I locked out the shopping channels and accidentally locked out a channel I didn't mean to lock out. Also are you using a favorites list?

The first box is not charged - only the additional boxes. So one Hopper 3 has no charge. Also I have not seen any streaming service that compares to the Hopper. And as I have said before the Wife likes the Hopper so the extra $19 in my case is worth her being happy.

They are available on my Hopper 3. Do you have a Hopper?

Sorry - you activate PTAT and then you will be able to skip commercials. It does not record prime time shows without setting timers.

Simple answer - YES. You can even enable PTAT and skip commercials.

I am a little confused here. Are you saying that when I pause an ip stream on the H3 for up to an hour, that the data is not written to the hard drive? It would seem that a lot of temporary memory would be required to buffer an hour's worth of data.

I don't believe that is true for the Dish Fast channels. The displays for the controls are Hopper displays. The functionality is the same as Hooper functionality. So IMHO the stream is being used by the Hopper. Of course that is just my opinion.

I find this hypothesis hard to believe. There is obviously a live buffer in use right now. I can pause, rewind, fast forward, etc. the FAST channels. So it would seem the streams can be saved to disk now.

The good news is that I can watch my Sling box on my phone (most of the time). Not quite the same as a tv though. I wonder what less expensive will be though.

I do not have much in the way of internet service. Best case, my phone will get 2mb. I cannot hot spot it to a firestick due to the low bit rate. An outside antenna would get me ABC (and two subchannels) reliably. With a big enough and "high" enough antenna I might be able to get other...
