Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

[Radioguy41]

OK, whoever the clown is that likes to put a barking dog into these things needs to look for another line of work. The Casa one is nice though, with the possible exception of the slightly distorted music.

Is it too soon to begin looking forward to October's Halloween themed scape?

I must have missed the lol!

I like the fall scape except for the dog barking as my dogs keep barking at the dog.

I got to spend some time with the folks who make these dish scapes and I wish people understood how these were put together. They only have a limited time to make these and for the amount of time they have they do an amazing job.

There will never be a perfect scape the at everyone will like. Some people like the ones with music others like the nature sounds.

They are meant to be different than anything else that is on dish. Something to put on to take your mind off of all the other crap going on in the world. A much needed time out. I wish people would understand this and take these channels for what they are.

Too much bitching about what people don’t like about these scapes especially on their Facebook group.

Just take them for how they are meant, this is amazing handmade moving art done ona limited budget. Put it on and relax. If you don’t like the sound turn the sound off or put something on your sound system you like while you watch. If you don’t like the art then change the channel.

I also enjoy the Gallery channel so much to watch and enjoy there with a ton of 4K content. Dish is giving folks stuff that no one else has and I enjoy it and say thanks.

With the folks on here and the FB group complaining about the barking dogs from the Irish one a couple years ago to the Christmas one of 2020 to this Fall's one and on and on, don't they pay attention? Believe me I understand what goes into creating one, I'm retired from the software/hardware creating, building, writing, troubleshooting, etc computer field. One hard and fast rule is: "Don't do something just because you can, have a legitimate reason for doing it. Make certain it enhances the user's (in this case viewer's) experience." That begs the question, in what way does a barking dog enhance the viewer's experience? Quite the opposite, in fact.

Now for some cudoos, the Halloween one from 2020 was, in my opinion, superb. The best of the best. Last years Christmas streaming one was excellent as well. I also really like the lagoon one from a couple of years ago. The one with the turtle on the beach and the bottle that washes ashore. I have 2.5 hrs of that one recorded. It's my napping specialty.

All the people who complain about the barking dogs, and yet many of those same people praise the Halloween one from 2020 as the best one ever. That one repeatedly featured a meowing black cat. It seems like a bit of a double standard. I personally have no problem with either sound effect, so I have no dog (nor cat) in this fight.

I noticed that the Dishscapes info page has been updated to what you get on 199, 198, and the Gallery App. It says "Access nearly all the previous DISH scapes" - it used to say all the previous Dish Scapes. I don't have a Hopper to view the app, so I am wondering why it says nearly all the previous. What is missing?

I'm checking out Gallery on my Wally. Since Wally also does not have the Gallery app, I went to On Demand > Browse By Channel > See More > On Demand Subscriptions > Gallery > Dish Scapes

I'll provide a complete list of what it has for Season 1 (the only season listed). Perhaps by process of elimination, we can figure out what's missing.

Starting at the bottom of the list and working my way up, there are a bunch of non-numbered episodes:

Summer Lake House
Sugar Acres
Santorini Greece
Neon Springs
Kilimanjaro Wildlife
Hidden Paradise
Haunted House
Golden Gate
Enchanted Forest
Coral Reef

Next are episodes 1 - 11:

Merriest Month
Wild West
Unexplained
Earth Day
Spring
Summer Escape
America's Heartland
Discover Alaska
Autumn Creek
Christmas
Under the Sea

Episodes 14 - 18:

Spooktacular
Tropical Island
Egyptian Pyramids
Irish Countryside
Cherry Blossom

Episodes 25 - 36:

Saint Kitts
Country Christmas
Santa's Workshop
Denali
French Quarter
The City of Love
Shipwreck Treehouse
Emerald Isle
Hoppy Lane
Spring Bloom
Deserted Western Town
Yosemite Falls

Episodes 42 - 45:

Amusement Park
Bayou
Casa del Sol
Small Town Fall

I'll check the Gallery app on my Hopper 3, to see if there are any differences from the list above.

 

[zippyfrog]

Thanks for posting that. Doing a quick scan, I don't see the Hollywood one on your list, unless it is called something else. That one was Feb 2022 and was in between the Wild West and the Unexplained.

In addition to all of the ones from the list in post number 1030, the Dish Scapes shelf in the Gallery app actually adds the following:

Alpine Meadows
California Super Bloom
Croatia Lakeside
Italian Vacation
Maui Exploration
Montenegro Beach
Tranquil Sunset
Underwater Scuba

You're right, the Hollywood one seems to be the only one missing.

 

[zippyfrog]

I meant Feb. 2020, not Feb. 2022...

If I want to listen to barking dogs, I can just go outside and I have neighbors in four directions that have mutts that never shut up. What i can't understand is how the dog owners put up with them. I would send them to the pound! NO, I do not have a cat either, but I have plenty of cat poop in my yard.

Well, it looks like Bigfoot shows up riding a bicycle through the town square... And the robot is dumb!

The robot is very lame. Not needed at all.

Charlie has to plug his stupid cell phone co. somehow I guess. I agree the robot is lame.

Well, somebody needed to break the fourth wall, uh I mean, laser burn an ad into the fourth wall. Bringing back Mechagodzilla would have been a nice callback.

He has five channels in the guide for that! They even moved from a single channel on channel 800 down to multiple channels in the 80's - 90's shopping block, to make them more prominent. If that channel placement is not noticeable enough, just duplicate them (or move them again) somewhere else in the channel lineup near popular channels.

Now that they removed the barking dogs I was watching it for awhile. And after a while it came to me, this is a color Twilight Zone. The one where the guy goes round and round in the train. An empty town void of people but with a soundtrack. Where are the people? Did the robot eat them? Did the dogs eat them then move on? Strange.

Wait, if there are no people left, then who is driving the vehicles? Are they driverless cars, relying on Dish's super-cool 5G network?

All the people must be at the town football game that you hear in the background .....
