Left Dish

[mrschwarz]

I dumped Dish 3 years ago with a $155 per month deal. I signed up for Sling TV for $70 and a TV antenna. (No sports)

Curiosity kills, how long has it actually been since you have quit DISH? Asking for a friend of a friend.

Jan. of 2022. I had 24 years with them.

So, you not have a $243 bill.
If I post my bill for at&t cellular without discounts, or Frontier internet, or especially SiriusXM that would be equally misleading.
You wanted to end using Dish, no need to embellish.

My current bill was $243. I called to renew $40 off for 12 months, 1/2 price for Starz for 3 months , Dish movies and Dish sports for 6 months. None were available for my account with CSR or retention. I had used them in previous years to get bill into the $180 area.
After 1 week of playing around: Through Hulu Live I can use Max, Starz, Disney, Espn+, With a Firestick I can get the other apps I subscibe . I use Alexa on my Echo hands free to launch apps or view the live tv guide or change to networks or to a specific progam. I can get 7 HBO channels plus their west channel. I get more Starz channels than with Dish. I can record into the cloud as many shows as I want and auto record series either new or new and reruns. Programs are kept for up to 9 months. With the Firestick I can get picture in picture for anything on the Firestick.

I've become a statistic.
After 30 years and 5 months of standby service, I canceled.
Service has been excellent and you will find nothing better than the Hopper 3.

We just found we were streaming essentially every thing we like. British, European, Australian, New Zealand crime shows along with several US services and firestick local and national news.

Welcome to the dark side.

Been there many years but now have closed the worm hole

Will you still be popping in here occasionally to share your expertise?

 

[nelson61]

Of course. Everything has blended and you need to keep current on all of it.

Next month, Christmas Day to be exact, it will be one year since we left Dish to go all streaming. We did miss the simplicity of the Dish service for awhile, but now streaming what we want is second nature. We have YTTV as our primary source, with Frndly filling in a few missing channels and ESPN for the hockey season, plus several FAST apps. The bottom line is that our cost is about half what was with Dish, and when we travel with our motorhome, I no longer have to set up our manually aimed Dish. It wasn't a big deal, but it is one less thing to deal with at my advanced age.

Didja ever see that episode of "Taxi" where Jim(aka Doc Brown) completely destroys a room before demoing a vacuum cleaner?Then when he opens up his large carrying case he remembers he just got a new job selling encyclopedias! Hilarious.
