Horrible Company

This is a horrible company and the way they treat their customers is pathetic. My receiver is going bad and their solution is for me to buy a new receiver for $100 to pay for it. It is their equipment and nothing I did and they want me to pay for a new receiver. Go elsewhere

bonnier243 - Nobody knows. It just is. The bureaucrats used the TV carry rules as warm up to right the new affordable healthcare rules. The complexity bogles the mind.

local channels missing

How come we don't get all of the local channels as advertised?  We don't get 4.1, 6.1, 6.2, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 in the Miami market.  Comcast/Xfinity has some of them, we don't have any.  Why not?

What was said does not make any sense. With the von on, you cannot stream, with it off you can, isn’t that the point? Thank for the warm welcome.

If the dish is covered with snow you have to remove it or let it melt. Some have used a super soaker filled with warm water or get a dish heater.

Nope, but you can buy dish heaters and hire someone to install it or some have used a super soaker filled with warm water to remove the build up.
