Question about Flex

[pattykay]

My point was that maybe DISH would offer the option of adding the Titan app and using it for full ota guide information, for those who have the internet connected to their hoppers. Just like older DISH receivers don't have Netflix app or You tube app on them , this would be a perk for Hopper owners and an incentive to subs to upgrade to the hopper .

My point was that Dish would probably only implement this on the Hopper 3, and then keep bumping it forward to only the newest Hopper whenever new Hopper models are introduced, so even subscribers with older Hopper models would not be able to take advantage of this. Even if the Hopper owners gain the feature for awhile, Dish may take it away from them once a newer toy is available, to try to force them to upgrade.

Unfortunately for people without good or any internet, all ota dvr options require internet for the guide service. The only way to get ota recording without depending on internet for schedules is to buy one of those cheap digital tuner boxes that allow you to connect a hdd. You can then use psip data to record (good luck with the accuracy of that). But you can still get weekly print magazines that have local tv schedules.

You can get a app for your smartphone that will give you all your local TV listings even the sub channels

Possibly, but it would be nice to have the option either way.

I already know that. But you would need to manually schedule a recording using that. I was talking about scheduling a recording using the dvr's own guide.

I haven't read the whole thread but I have 722K/OTA and when I switched to Flex I didn't lose my OTA channels in the guide.
