    Hopper 382

    I disconnected the + so long ago I forget what it looked like. I got it initially just to check it out because I'm a gadget guy.Already have a Roku,Shield and Firestick. The + intoduced a couple of minor issues and didn't add anything for me. They also put the sport search and multi view on the...

    That’s largely a function of having updated LNBAs to block convert to a identical frequency range for a common receiver. But after that there are other minor differences to take into account: channel bandwidth considerations, channel order, possible data encoding scheme differences, etc. I...

    Sounds like a lot of DISH's debt. IF Echostar is still owning and running the satellites that used to part of DISH's service, then they are also the ones that uplink the channels for the DISH service and the local channels too. If Echostar is also providing the receivers and I bet the lnbs...

    So Echostar is being paid to use the satellites by the new TPG company then ? TPG would be leasing their satellites for the DISH service right? Unless they are getting a percentage of the revenue monthly, for the use of the satellites.

    Well then as the Directv satellites start to fail, the only option if the sub want to stay with satellite tv - would be to go with DISH receivers and their satellite slots.

    It would be over a year and probably clsoer to 2 years before the deal is closed. So I wouldn't expect any changes until then.

    Right. Dish is KU . Most of Directv is KA.

    If Echostar still owns the DISH satellites and pops and uplinks and perhaps all the Hoppers and other equipment, what did Direct buy?

    Since I have a Hopper Plus connected to my Hopper 3, I am not seeing this new home screen. But it sounds like they're making it look more like the Hopper Plus?

    Older people who don't like streaming. Up until I replaced the box with the DTV APP, I was using channel numbers. History channel is on 269 on DTV. I am also probably one of the few people that watches network show premiers live.

    It appears they are not part of the deal, those are owned by Echostar.

    Who uses channel numbers? Really? I just pick from the guide (My Favorites). I couldn’t tell you what channel number the History Channel, etc, is/are on. I doubt many people are pressing in channel numbers.

    I don't know if Dish customers would like to memorize new channel numbers or vice versa.

    In time, maybe, but right now, they effectively remain two different companies operating under different agreements with varying channel providers. It would be unwise to hike the rates of Dish subs more than they already have at this point for the year.

    I have heard "Sling" will merge with Direct TV's streaming service. Sling & Dish are less expensive than what Direct offers, so expect an increase. Where "Free Sling" will go is anyone's guess.
