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

    They have said for the last year that the rural areas are what will be a boogaboo, because of covering less dense areas. Less dense and rural are pretty much the same thing. Rural areas are not full of a large population like cities like L.A. California. "DISH has a deadline of mid-June 2025...

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

    IF DISH doesn't meet the 75% deadline to build out their cell phone company in June of next year they can lose all the spectrum that they have paid for up to now. But they need lots of money to finish the build out of the towers in rural areas, so it all comes back to money. I don't see them...

    I'm ready to Cancel Dish because of those Burger King Commercials.

    I just don't want to see people taking care of their personal hygiene needs on TV while I am eating, thank you very much. Like the commercial for Lumi body deodorant that was playing non stop for a while back. For "Pitts, underboob, private parts" and the male version Mando so you can...

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

    Wonder if they tried to work some kind of deal with Amazon or Google? Or put their bandwidth up as collateral for another loan to get better payments or interest rates? There has to be someone that would step in if they could get a percentage of ownership of the stock. But Charlie doesn't do...

    I'm ready to Cancel Dish because of those Burger King Commercials.

    The latest commercial that gets me is the one with a black woman in her underwear telling the audience that more than her pits stink. Then at the end they say over the commercial "From your pitts to your ..." then they show the same woman spraying her crotch and you hear spraying sounds. I...

    Please DISH get METV back!

    They need to use the Air TV guide for all ota channels if they don't want to maintain the ota channels and sub channel guide information on the satellite.

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

    Sling TV is losing because of many factors. There guide is cluttered and you have to use an antenna to get your ota stations for free. Not all local networks are offered in all areas. Also many people have decided they don't need live TV like satellite and cable provides. You Tube TV is...

    Autoplay - how to turn it off?

    This feature works much like Netflix when you end an episode and the next one is up in 5 ,4 ,3,2,1 Plays. I see this on just about all the streaming services with multiple episodes. It is like a binge feature. You can alway hit stop when it appears on the right hand side of the screen and it...

    Please DISH get METV back!

    Since DISH and SLING TV are both owned by Dishnetwork and now Echostar why can't DISH use the same guide information as the Air Tv does? I get complete guide information for all my ota channels using the Air Tv Anywhere 4 tuner ota device and I can use Sling tv with it all in one guide. It's...

    Traditional Providers Losses, 1st Quarter 2024 Edition

    You know I have seen Spectrum use orange coax before and I know that ATT fiber uses it too. I wonder if he is using ATT fiber instead? Either way that coax has been not buried going back to last summer.

    Traditional Providers Losses, 1st Quarter 2024 Edition

    It wouldn't require a service call. Could get them to drop me back to just the lower starter price that gives you lower speed of 200 mpbs. Or they could renew my current deal for $60.00 for another year and I would get 500mpbs( but still only 300 mpbs for some reason). Hell Spectrum Cable when...

    Streaming Is The New Cable

    You are just using the programs that are already recorded by Paramount on their app but you have a days worth of delay for the better p/q . I like watching when it is live or slightly delayed at home. I can't really see much difference between 4k and HD anyway. Just like I don't see any...

    My modem is the one that Spectrum sent to us in the mail. I am going to call and ask them about whether the modem makes any difference with the speeds. We also use their wi-fi tower. I can always downgrade to the lower speed and price since I am not getting the full 500 anyway.

    Streaming Is The New Cable

    My first dvr was the WebTV/Dish player 7100 model in August of 1999. Loved it and it was also my first experience with the web and getting on the internet. I even refinanced my house over the web tv feature. It worked great till the Microsoft DISH fight started and then it was nothing but...

    Do you see any throttling of the bandwidth when you get a certain amount in, like they cut the speeds? I am located in a park with lots of trees and I can only get 3 to 4 bars in my house. T mobile says that I can receive it in my area but I am worried it wouldn't be enough for my son and us...

    Random DVR Recordings from 2016 Came Back

    A lot of stuff has happened on that show since 2016. My wife and I have been watching it since 2011 after the other 2 soaps went off the air and then off the internet series too.

    Two Hopper 3 with 10 Joeys

    OK, I'll bite. Why do you need so many dvrs and joeys? Are you running a hotel? I don't have that much I would record and when I had the Hopper 3 with DISH, I never used all 16 tuners at the same time except to test that it could record 16 things at the same time.
