More and more streaming FAST channels on DISH

[ekilgus]

I don' think these channels are really worth much. They have a ton of commercials and dead space while a sign says "We will be back soon." It makes watching anything like torture. I tried to watch a horror movie at my buddy's house on his receiver and it was like 3 minutes of show and 4 minutes of commercials and the sign saying we will be back soon while music plays. No thank you.

I agree. I don't find very much compelling content on any of these channels, and find the schedule many times doesn't sync with what's actually being shown. Then there are the commercials. I have to believe it costs Dish nothing to include these channels.

Like mentioned before, the breaks for commercials with no commercials (just a place slate) are the worst! Other than The Rifleman, I have little to no interest in any of then.

I have not found any of them worth watching.

I have put these channels on when nothing else is really on and its been more of background noise.

I updated my master table at: DISH TV "Bonus View" Channels

Thank you !
I found one worth watching, Dr G Medical Examiner. Love that show and Dr. G. The breaks aren't too bad, 2 minutes and no music.

Edit: There is music, I didn't notice on the first watch, it's not that awful like the horror movie channel music. I gave up on that one very quickly.

You're very welcome. And I agree Dr G is a good one. I just wish these Bonus View channels could be recorded.

I'm sure Dish is working on it. I don't know how different the satellite data stream is from the internet stream, but there may be significant software hurdles to be overcome in joining the two into the recording stream. I hope it does not corrupt the satellite recording stream in any way.
