  1. General DISH™ Discussion
    Neither Dish or Directv is investing any development in the Sat boxes. Dish removed the ability to download shows to your tablet or phone with Dish Anywhere. It was so buggy they just removed the feature. Directv's investment is in streaming, albeit small. We have no good alternative for...
  2. Sirius XM General Discussion
    Really dislike the app. First when you launch it, it has a Discover page. So it won't automatically play the last channel if the App was totally closed. It shows Howard Stern at the bottom. Second, if you start at home say on WifI and drive off, it normally stops playing during the Wifi to...

    Dish new customer deals seem pretty good. They have discounts for military and 55+. Why not start fresh. Put new service in a spouse or someone else's name. Get a Hopper 3/Hopper Plus and maybe a better rate for 2 years and $visa card rebate? BTW, you save more upfront with a...

    There was an Android update 3 days ago.
  5. Cable TV Discussion
    Hearst has a dispute with DISH. Where I am people can't get ABC but....many have added the OTA tuner and antenna and watch if Over the Air. Your TV without Dish Box will get OTA too with an antenna, you just won't record

    $74/month is cheap. What package do you have?
  7. General DISH™ Discussion
    I noted a bug with the Dish Anywhere app, when using the Transfer feature (download and watch later) and trying watch shows stored on the iPad later, when in Airplane mode. The shows won't appear without an internet connection. And a bit troubled that Dish buried the Transfer feature inside...
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Firesticks have ethernet ports? Hard wired?
  9. Internet Streaming Services
    Or maybe its the strike currently going on in Hollywood for writers and actors who complain they don't get compensated properly for streaming?
  10. General DISH™ Discussion
    I don't miss the very high bills from Directv. Have Dish set to western arc (be sure to do this at install) and still have one Directv receiver and there is barely any difference in PQ. Hopper 3 is better than Directv's Genie implementation where a separate box is required for 4K...
  11. General DISH™ Discussion
    Maybe on a 70" TV you see a difference but I have a 65" OLED and Directv Genie and Hopper3 on different HDMI inputs. There is really no difference in PQ. The only difference is if I use OTA into each receiver and then switch to TV's OTA tuner, and I get up really close to the TV, there are...
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thanks for making my point. It doesn't have its own 4K output so I need a client. And lack of streaming choices in the box is ridiculous. Even Xfinity and Dish have some streaming offerings resident in the main box. Yup, it needs a redesign to bring it up to current. But when it was...
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I can start with Directv, the HS17 is stupid. I said that over 5 years ago. Size and shape for starters. Installers don't like it, I have talked to quite a few. Lack of 4K output, whether Sat or Streaming apps. I would start there.
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    When I looked into it, I found Directv better for sports and Dish better at mostly all other consumer things. Such as Prime Time Anytime. It is a nice feature with all the auto recording. And supporting OTA officially is nice too. Directv has all the local regional sports fees that you can...
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    On-demand is generally free. Anytime you try to download/watch an OD show, it there is a charge, you will be informed before you continue. Just click on it. If it doesn't ask for $, it is free
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    TLDR Commas, periods, spaces and other punctuations are helpful for long written summaries
  17. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    Account sharing cancellations are when the provider kicks someone off the service due to PW sharing. In this case, the OP wanted the others kicked off, and they would not, could not.
  18. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    This has nothing to do with account sharing. Totally different issue.
  19. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    Wow Dish and SXM all have the capability to take over a stream and kick someone else off. Can't believe DTV didn't think of it. If the other devices are at home and the son is away, have son call ISP and tell them he is having internet issues and ask them to reboot the modem remotely. That...
  20. General DISH™ Discussion
    A one time occurrence of poor customer service won't force me to jump ship too easily. Especially in light of an unusual event. I am more ticked off at Tmobile for having some my data stolen. Before that it was Target. Firesticks are cool but geez, the remote and channel guide...
