Dish Magazine

Anyone sub to it? I bought just a month to see what's in it. Does anyone like it, or do you think it's a waste?

I had it years ago, mostly for the guide listings. Since they were never complete, once I got dvr's with the 9 day guide, I stopped.

Is there any news about dishnetwork in it? Future channels, upcoming technology, etc?

Such magazines are just fluff pieces. 90% advertising. So in answer to your questions, no...across the board.

Nothing like what you would get by visiting here periodically.

I subscribe to it and like it - and it is not 90% advertising. As a matter of fact, the only thing that could be considered "advertising'" is the promos for PPV and other special events. The guide contains "Dish Chatter," which is a letter to the editor type section, movie listings, channel directory, specials and sports listings, interviews and articles like "Hitchcock Vs. Hedren." If you are like me and plan your monthly viewing, its worth the $4.95/month.

Do you ever get PPV certificates with it on occasion? when I had directv I would get like 2 a year.

 

[PTVC]

Not that I am aware.

I thought it was a waste, and never got any freebies. Of course, that was many years ago.

There are no freebies with the DISH magazine.

The DISH Magazine has little to no advertising. Sweetie prefers a written guide and as such it is well designed and executed

Does anyone know if it's available by download to avoid mail delays etc.?

LOL

We get it here at our business and it's a well put together guide but with the 9 day guide on the receiver I've never needed it.

Tried it two different times, both times stopped the subscription. Print is too small for me, and because of the lead time to print it, there are many incorrect listings. I did like the movie section found it easier than other ways to see what movies were coming up.

i was subbed to the magazine a long time ago, but when the current issue started to arrive a week or ten days later after the month started, i cancelled

 

[ilfoman]

Thanks, it's great - and free!

I have had it for 2 years or so. I like it ok, but as stated above, you can come here for the technology information. It's woth it to me.

I use it to plan premium movie recordings for the month -hbo, starz, etc. It is easier than going to individual websites. I really do not use on-demand, so it helps me get the most out of premiums.
