We had PrimeStar before we had DISH. I haven't seen any of their dishes since the late 90s. When we got DISH they took that PrimeStar dish off and threw it away and used the pole and even the old cable.

I have the 4 tuner Tablo Next gen dvr and it has worked great. I use it to back up my recordings from the Air tv device I use with Sling Tv. I like the interface but don't really use the extra channels that they have you can record from. The other day the Air tv missed a recording for my...

Price hikes to start in 5....4....3.....2.....1.... ;)

None of those have been used in years, especially 148 slot. They lost that one a long time ago. Don't think we ever used 105 for DISH though.

About a year a half . I think I unhooked it when we got a new TV and cabinet summer of 2023.

666 sign of the devil!!:eeek

I can tell you what I did when I cancelled DISH after 25 years at the beginning of 2022. I had my hopper and joeys still hooked up and my external hard drive still plugged in and my ota antenna and my usb tuner still plugged in. My satellite channels disappeared of course in the guide except...

I remember when you could use a switch (DP 21 ) and two dishpro lnbs and use to large 30" dishes for 110 and 119 and get a great signal for you service in the high numbers. But that was years ago. My aunt had a set up like that in the country. She rarely lost signal unless it was raining cats...

You are just getting a little "cocky" Hipkat.;) By the way I like your new picture. :bigok

What will this one do again? I forget.

By 2030 or sooner, its over. DISH needs to use the DISH interface and guides and stream it with Sling TV pricing and packs you can add or subtract to save money. Sling TV becomes Streaming DISH TV. No need for two versions any longer.

Like Directv does now.

So we went to EA in 2008 and now we are going back to just western Arc period? What happens to 61.5 and 72.7 sats now? I also assume that we are going to more streaming channels to take the place of more of the satellite channels - like the SD ones. So you could get them in HD and you can...

Check your connections on the usb ota tuner and make sure it is plugged in firmly. Wouldn't hurt to rescan the ota channels as well. If it happens again might look at replacing the ota tuner. Also check your snap module is plugged in and if not you could remove it and plug back in firmly. My...

I am watching it each week on ABC now. I like it so far.

The Roofers will just leave it on the ground and you will still need a DISH tech to come back and reinstall it where it goes. I think they will reinstall it since you can get once a year a free move if you have DISH protect, but you could call and ask. My mom and dad had their ota antenna...

They look like they are going out of their minds when they glitch. :smug

That is quicker than I thought. Two years? :rolleyes:

Sling TV/Air TV does a pretty good job of sub channel guide for almost all my locals. There is like 6 recent sub channels that don't have it. My Tablo does a good job too and I do get guide information for almost all of them.

I don't see why DISH doesn't go ahead and migrate all the SD movie channels to streaming HD channels since you can record them now. I hate watching movies in SD and have never even tried to watch them if they are in SD. I saw at my buddy's house that HBO is all HD now, including the...

Down to 5 million satellite customers now. So around 1 million a year gone each year DISH should be out of the satellite business by 2030 if not sooner. I still say they should merge DISH and Sling together. Make it with the better interface of DISH and their guides etc, but use the sling...

Down to 5 million sat customers. About a million a year they lose. So in 5 years in 2030 or sooner, no more satellite business.

Do you think they will work towards being able to record more streaming channels at the same time like Sling TV can do with their cloud dvr? Maybe add a Cloud DVR feature to the Hopper receiver? It would certainly make it a better receiver and the older Hopper with Sling could be more useful...

Double dipper.

Netflix is over rated. I spend over $25.42 a month for HD version of their service and my parents are on my account. I rarely even watch Netflix. If it becomes a sports oriented service and the prices continue to inflate, I will cut this out quickly. I have NO interest in sports at all...
