DVR recordings
You can record a program by adding it to your library. This means that all airings—including upcoming airings and reruns—will be recorded automatically. You typically can fast forward through ads on recorded programs once they've aired on live TV.
Lucky for me with Sling I use an antenna for all my locals and I don't subscribe to the orange pack that has Espn in it. I don't care about sports one bit. 
People have been making this claim every time there's a take down for years. Hasn't happened yet...
The main reason I went with the Flex Package was exactly what shrivels Mickey's, er, "ears": I don't watch a lot of sports, and I am able to receive all of my local DMA channels OTA. With the loss of ESPN and Formula 1 from the National Sports Pack, that will save me $12/mo + taxes. Not getting my locals from Dish saves an additional $12/mo + taxes. I am keeping the Regional Sports Pack as that gives me Big10 access, but of course, this Saturday's Purdue Boilermakers game is on ESPN.
The $80/yr for F1 TV Pro will basically break-even over the F1 season, but give me access to both the F1 TV and World Feed of the race weekend, plus timing, in-car driver camera feeds, and the Archive of Formula 1 races back to the 1980s.

I am sorry everyone I did not intend to start a similar thread and did not see one had already been going strong on this topic!
There are like only 8 ABC owned affiliates around the country. The rest are independent have individual deals with Disney.
Disney is losing millions in advertising revenue during the take down. That's leverage...
Good morning, Scott, (probably afternoon for you ) I in haste did not see this thread when I started mine "Channels removed from Dish Network) I will let you decide if you can merge these? Or delete mine?
You definitely can.
What might be happening is you have chosen the VOD version of your program rather than the DVR version.
But you absolutely can skip commercials with your recordings (not VOD)
Similar is not the same. If you want to watch your team(s) play, it doesnt matter if another team is playing the same sport on a different channel.
That's good to know. When I signed up for the free trial it asked me to choose shows that I watched. It added those shows to my library. I noticed this weeks Young Sheldon was in my library and since I haven't watched it this week yet I tried it out. But I guess it was pulled in from their VOD.
There are four major streaming cable TV services that carry a broad range of channels, including locals: YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, DirecTV Stream, and Fubo TV. The cloud DVR for all of them gives you unlimited storage but the recordings expire after 9 months *except* for Fubo TV.
Fubo TV's cloud DVR lets you keep recordings indefinitely (as long as you stay continuously subscribed) but you're limited to 1,000 hours of recordings (which, let's be honest, should be enough for anyone). This is part of their standard "Pro" package that costs $70/mo. There are some drawbacks, though, in terms of the channels that Fubo TV does not carry. They don't have any of the Warner/Turner nets, so no CNN, TBS, TNT, TruTV, or Cartoon Network. And no way to add HBO in their app (although you can just subscribe directly to HBO Max via their own standalone app). Also, they do not carry any of the A+E nets, so no History, A&E, Lifetime, LMN or Vice.
Meanwhile, YouTube TV does not carry the A+E nets either. Hulu with Live TV does not carry the AMC nets (AMC, IFC, WeTV, BBC America). The only service that carries all the popular channels from all the different companies, including the Bally Sports regional sports networks, is DirecTV Stream. But they do tend to be a little more expensive in terms of what you pay for the channels you get.
Yes …Just hit the + button on the show and it is added to your library (Some downside is they record every episode from every channel... You can't specify only new... But you can easily find the new programs)
You can record as many as you want at a time... There is unlimited dvr that saves the shows for 9 months from their air date

I've been with Dish since 2006 and I am a huge fan of their equipment…I also have 2 external hard drives that are almost filled to capacity... These are the two reasons I have stayed with them this long through all the disputes... But the price keeps increasing and we keep losing channels
This is the first time I have thought about leaving and going with YouTube tv which is amazing value if you have decent Internet speed

Just mute that troll, he never has anything productive to say and is only here during these situations to promote DTV.
They have always done this... And other providers do too... But Dish says all the right things... End of the day... Prices never go down (Usually up) and we keep losing channels while paying a higher amount
It's unlimited dvr and recordings are saved for 9 months from the last time they were recorded. You can record every channel available 24/7.
I would never consider leaving but have embraced a more hybrid system especially now that I have the Plus. My internet is not reliable or fast enough for pure streaming. And in case of a emergency Dish will work when sh*t hits the fan!
