    Dish Price Increases (2024-25)

    I have a Hopper 3 with ota usb dongle and I have PTAT turned on but my receiver is deactivated since I left DISH two years ago. If I record any main network ota channel, I will get the auto skip feature enabled the next day on my ABC and NBC, Fox and with CBS it would take 7 days before it...

    OTA USB stopped working on Hopper 3

    You can also buy one from Solid Signal website or the RV / Outdoor website for DISH. Even Amazon has them on their site for $49.00.

    Another Possible Streaming Skinny Live TV Service, but for Cable

    The thing with Sling Tv is you get more cable like channels like Traditional Satellite/cable packs. Then add your own ota antenna and you get your own local for free. Its just a manner of what you add to your basic programming and it is a lot like the Flex pack choices. The best part you don't...

    Another Possible Streaming Skinny Live TV Service, but for Cable

    So a Tablo like version of Sling TV. It sounds like they are doing just that. I do like that they are working on making the Tablo app work outside the home for the Next Gen Receivers. I would like to be able to use it when I am away form home and sitting in a doctor's office to watch Tv.

    Dish Price Increases (2024-25)

    All the ota channels within reach of your TV antenna. My Televes DigiNova Boss antenna gets all of my channels and I am within the 25 - 35 mile range from the towers.

    Dish Price Increases (2024-25)

    WE use our 4 tuner Next GEN Tablo for this reason. A back up in case we have problems with Sling Tv missing a program etc. Both work but the Tablo seems better at not missing anything. My DISH usb tuner on my deactivated Hopper has problems with "Part of the recording is missing" messages...

    Dish Price Increases (2024-25)

    You can use the fire tv/ stick remote or the roku remote and you can see the tiles as you fast forward the program so you can stop when the commercial is over. You can also reverse it the same way. Just use the right arrow to forward or the left arrow to reverse. The home screen has has...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    I am sure there are still areas that don't have great broadband or choices. But I am saying over all if DISH wants to survive and appeal to future generations they need a streaming version of their DISH service that can replace SlingTV with and still keep the pricing structure that Sling Tv...

    Dish Price Increases (2024-25)

    Tablo operates with no glitches and problems. My old ota Tuner with DISH that I replaced recently will have the message come up that it lost signal on that ota channel all the time. I try to use it with my old Hopper 3 that I deactivated back in 2022 and it still happens. I never see any...

    Thank God I quit DISH when I did. I dreaded these yearly price hikes every year since 2000.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Maybe but if they want to be around as a TV provider they need to improve their product so people want their service. To do nothing is to stagnant and go down the tubes. I think Satellite was a great product for it's time in the 90s and 2000s but now it is streaming or nothing. Get with the...

    Update to Flex Regional Action Pack?

    Come on you really think they are going to LOWER the prices? I mean this is a corporation. Every time they took a channel away due to disputes or they quit carrying them, they continued to charge the same price for programming. I have never seen them go down on prices, except when they...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    I bought the 4 tuner Next gen Tablo for my birthday on sale for $119.99. It works even better than my older legacy Tablo I paid for a life time membership. Like the whole interface better and the best part is no longer is the picture compressed like the legacy does. It looks as good as live...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    There is not many people that live in that white area either it is sparsely populated. Most of the population in the country runs from from north to south to the middle of Texas and to the east of that line to the east coast. Then on the western coast you have California and Washington and...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Yes, I have been saying they could do the best service with Sling TV prices and DISH guides, menus, dvr features, but streaming versions. I think that would be very successful. Because you can already use Air TV to add your ota locals integrated in with the Sling TV guide, so why not make it...

    Left Dish

    My old Hopper 3 I had when I quit DISH is still working for ota and for my old external hard drive and the joeys are still connected. So If I want I can still watch them in my office and bedroom. I own all my receivers too.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    So what do you advise Charlie to do in this situation? Should he sell off his cell phone business , towers, spectrum ? Makes the debt problem go away, but he is still going to lose his satellite business sooner than later. Sling TV isn't enough to keep him afloat. How does he make his...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    IF DISH satellite keeps losing about a million subs each year they have less than 6 years till there is no more subs- unless they merge with Direct tv subs then maybe a little longer. Because they are not growing new subs. So 2030 or sooner. Sling TV might continue on its own. Only 2...

    Traditional Providers Losses, 2nd Quarter 2024 Edition

    Sling TV is much cheaper for programming and no FEES like the satellite version. Unless you count the $5.00 for a bigger cloud to record things on the dvr part of the app. You can also use an Air tv device like 2 tuner or 4 tuner Air Tv Anywhere and an antenna and your own hard drive and...

    Traditional Providers Losses, 2nd Quarter 2024 Edition

    Boomerang streaming service will be shut down on Sept. 30. I heard and some other minor Streaming apps like Freevee I saw on You tube that Amazon was supposed to shut their free service down in the second quarter of this year. Motor trend Plus was shut down in March of this year. Chicken...
