In Dish's defense, they had no idea when making that ad, that the Vols would suck so bad that ESPN would put them on ESPNU...

Which is why I said the people it is good for is those that already have the platinum package. I must be really missing something, outside of epix, what do people actually watch on platinum I get half of those channels on my current package, I never watch epix, because of netflix, if I didn't...

I will give you the game thing, I was more comparing it streaming to streaming, which I guess is inaccurate. I could care less about games or dvd's so I meant it more along the lines of why would I get rid of netflix(no dvds or games), Hulu Plus, or to a lesser extent prime(which I don't have...

That why i capitalized NEED I assume they will eventually go after non subscribers, which to me is even harder then current subscribers. But I have dish, I also use my roku for netflix, and hulu plus. my point is why would I make a change? I was really hoping this would be some amazing offer to...

Is it just me or is this a big waste? I don't see how this compels anyone away from netflix, or how it compels people with netflix to also add this service. The only real benefit is you dont NEED an extra box like a roku If you already have dish. But judging by the 3000 titles that you can...

I'm confused because I have know seen this idea of switch to greener pastures twice, but where are these greener pastures? With dish you can get VS for 59.99 in the Dish America Gold pack or 69.99 in the 250. Of course the price is lower if your a new customer. Where can you find VS for cheaper...

Does this have the same restrictions as a tripod system, will I get locals with it? I go to games outside of my spot beam, and that is always a pain. Also can someone show me where this item is on dishnetwork.com? I cant find it anywhere. I see it on dishstore.net but it doesn't come with the...

Yes I am talking about the big 4 all of mine are in SD even though they are carried in hd on dish it makes no sense if I "move" to NO I get them in hd

Can someone explain to me why my local package has 2 New Orleans channels that are in HD on 129 but are given to me in the Biloxi MS DMA in SD I understand the 2 locals in Biloxi are only SD(not sure why when direct gets them in HD) but why don't they give me the HD versions of the 2 New Orleans...

So does that mean there is hope for it coming or will I be "living" in mobile for awhile?

Yeah doesn't carry any locals for Biloxi SD or HD that's why I had to "move" to Mobile. Its odd the house I am in now I have no LOS to WA and now I'm moving to a place with no LOS to EA. Really I was hoping with DirecTV adding the Biloxi Locals that dish would follow suit, cause it would be nice...

Oh awesome, I did not know they were on 129. So I am assuming I would have to move to Biloxi again to have them move my dish, and then I could "move" again to mobile? haha alot of work, but that make me happy.

I don't know if anyone can answer this, but currently I live in Biloxi, however when I got an install they had to put me on eastern arc, lucky me I was able to "move" to Mobile. Now I am moving to a place with no LOS on Eastern Arc so that option goes away. Anyway DirecTV just announced they are...

I did I just wanted to make sure who to call before I called anyone. It turns out their encoder broke, and they are slowing working on it. Thanks for the answers everyone.

Yeah I did that. But the OTA is not what I am worried about (it's not working either). But I am talking about the channel that I get from dish through the Satellite. It is black both the 27-00 channel and the 9290 channel. So I am thinking it is the stations issue.

So should that have made my ABC channel through Dish stop working? Also, I was using their digital signal before I was receiving HD OTA.

Hello, yesterday I lost WTXL via over the air. but my Channel coming from dish still worked. Today Both my OTA and channel from Dish is black. It tunes in, I get 80 strength on OTA, and the dish channel tunes as well. Its just black. Did ABC get moved to another sat, or is dish blocking them? Or...

I actually just had this exact same problem, after awhile of testing, the contractor replaced a barrel that is right before the STB. And my problem has been fixed. It has been about 3 weeks now not one issue.

Ok, I figured out how to reset the primary to 1 again, now any suggestions on what to do to get the remote 2 to work? Thanks.

Ok, so this will be a 2 part question. 1 my tv 2 remote stopped working on the UHF spectrum. What I mean by that is that it turns the tv on, controls it no problem, but it DOES NOT work on my receiver anymore. It worked yesterday, and today nope. I put new batteries in, and still no dice. I...

I would assume it is because if they were willing to take your money, it would probably cost them more from the customers wanting a downgrade, and all the re points and equipment. Before you say well I have all the right equipment, or I can re point myself, or well then just allow upgrades not...

Ahh so I would only get the big 4? not Chicago Sports net, and WCIU, basically the good channels that carry the sports I want? that's probably not as helpful as I thought it would be then.

If there is an actual way to do this can you send me that PM as well.. I would love to be able to see my Chicago sports, I thought it was impossible due to spot beams.

I didn't catch today's game, but I haven't noticed this issue during other games.

So a game with a bunch of 3rd stringers playing for nothing at all is more "whoopie" then people going for gold for their country? I'm confused...:confused: but it's cool I don't have a conflict since college football doesn't start til Thursday! :D
