Old sticky threads

[pattykay]

It seems that the list of sticky threads in this forum could use a little clean-up. I maintain the threads (Discussion and Non-Discussion) about the free previews each month. This month's No Discussion thread has now been made a sticky. (Thank you!) However, the old No Discussion thread from May, as well as the really old Free Previews thread that these new threads were intended to replace, both remain sticky. Also, the U927 remote control thread is also sticky. I thought that thread had been de-stickied when the U934 thread was posted, but now it is back.

Since this thread has now been moved to a different forum, I will specify that I was referring to the Dish Network Support Forum.

The remote control sticky thread issue has been fixed. The old Free Previews threads remain there, though.

Actually, I like it better with the regular thread for the latest software version being a sticky. The only suggestion I would have going forward is that the thread title should also include the other receiver models' software versions (Hopper, Hopper With Sling, Hopper Duo, Wally) so that we have one consolidated thread to discuss all of the changes made by the latest software release. Often, when Dish makes changes and/or releases new features, other receiver models are also affected, not only the Hopper 3.

dfergie, thanks for clearing out the old outdated Free Previews threads from the sticky list. Now the only ones that should be removed from that list are the U934 ones.

This has been fixed now. This is the shortest list of sticky threads that I have seen in awhile. Nice and tidy. Thanks!

Sorry folks had lots of power and tree issues last week with the storm.

It has been suggested that we should have a sticky thread listing all of the Dish equipment fees. I created a thread for that, so that it can be stickied: Dish Equipment Fees

This month's Free Previews (Discussion and Non-Discussion) Threads have been posted, and are ready to be made sticky:

Free Previews (No Discussion) Thread - September 2020

Here is this month's updated thread with the list of free channels available on Dish. As always, I ask that the moderators make this thread a sticky, and ask for their help in enforcing the No Discussion rule for this thread. I also request that the accompanying Free Previews Discussion Thread...

Also, I have created a new thread for the Dish Equipment Fees, since it was also suggested that we should have a sticky for the Loyalty Department's phone number. So, I combined both of those requests into this new thread, which now needs to be made sticky:

Dish Equipment Fees (and Loyalty Department phone number)

The following chart was posted by HipKat in another thread here. After I modified it (moving some headings around to make it easier to read) HipKat suggested that it should be a sticky. So, I am posting this in a new thread, and nominating this thread to be a new sticky. Name Cost ($)...

I have posted the new thread about the latest software version, in the hope that it becomes a sticky:

New Software: Hopper Duo (U990), Hopper 1 (....), Hopper 2 (....), Hopper 3 (....), Wally (....)

This is the new sticky thread for discussing any changes made by the newest software release. Moderators: Please change the thread title to add the latest software versions for the other Hopper / Wally models as that information becomes available. The new Application Software version is...

Please make this thread a sticky, to replace the old U935 sticky thread. Also, please change the title of my new sticky thread to reflect the latest software versions for the other receiver models, as soon as that information gets posted in the thread. Thank you.

Thank you for making this thread a sticky. Now, the only thing left to do is to add the other receiver models' software versions to the thread title. For now, the updated thread title should read:
"New Software: Hopper Duo (U990), Hopper 1 (....), Hopper 2 (U740), Hopper 3 (U936), Wally (U825)"
No Hopper 1 users have posted in the thread yet, so I still do not know what that new software version is.

Thanks to HipKat, for posting the complete list of software versions in that sticky thread. The thread title should now be changed to read as follows:
"New Software: Hopper Duo (U990), Hopper 1 (U916), Hopper 2 (U740), Hopper 3 (U936), Wally (U825)"

Also, I have posted the new No Discussion thread for this month's Free Previews:

Thank you for making this thread a sticky. Now, the only thing left to do is to add the other receiver models' software versions to the thread title.

A request to change the title of this sticky thread. Rather than update the title with each new software release, as I had originally intended, how about filling in just the first letter of each model's software version? This would make the new title read:
"New Software: Hopper Duo (H...), Hopper 1 (H...), Hopper 2 (H...), Hopper 3 (H...), Wally (W...)"
This would eliminate the really outdated U990 from the thread title, while still avoiding the need to update the title with each new version. Since the title never has been updated since this thread was originally posted, this approach seems to be the easiest way to go. Now that Dish has implemented having the letter at the beginning of the software version match the receiver model (H for Hopper, W for Wally, J for Joey) the title of the New Software sticky thread should reflect that, if this sticky thread is going to continue. Thank you for your consideration, and have a nice day.
