414189invalid@example.com (profish)profishGood day.
Contract ended a couple days ago and while I did try to call in yesterday using the loyalty number it said 41 minutes but went to 51 so I gave up for the moment.
Question being is there a way to just keep locals only with no package?
Can I pause and keep the locals?
Or am I stuck having to have a package which even doing the flex there is like 2 channels I occasionally watch in it and would be a serious waste of money especially if I had to tack on another $14 just for locals?

414163invalid@example.com (TheKrell)TheKrellBack when I first got my H3 with 2 J3's, I experimented with one of them by unplugging the coax but leaving the Ethernet connected. After some chaos and confusion with the network settings, it worked great! Fast forward to today when I experimented again. No joy no matter what I reset.
Is there some magic setting that I should have used to get this going, or is that now prohibited? IIRC it's on J537. Maybe 536.]]>6More Locals on 72.7w conus beams? I can watch Cincinnati locals on Transponder 30Sat, 18 Jan 2025 02:48:46 +0000

I am able to watch Cincinnati locals (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC) on 72.7w at transponder #30 with a 8 foot dish, but this transponder is too "weak".
Does anyone know if any of these Locals are still available on 72.7w as conus beams?
and what is the corresponding transponder # ?
LOUISVILLE, KY
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA
Any locals on transponder #28 at 72.7w ?

Obviously they could not sell me on this. Anyway, my current configuration is two 922 receivers and a wally, (I also have a second Wally for my RV which is currently spare)
So, here's what I want to do, use the single 922, and the 2 wally's. First this should drop my monthly rate because Pay...

411844invalid@example.com (syphix)syphixToday, DISH added 9 more streaming FAST channels (090-01 thru 090-11). With all these streaming additions in the 90’s, I’m hoping Hoppers will be able to record them at some point. Live TV buffering is there, with pause, rewind, etc. so how far behind can scheduling a recording? Even if it is limited to just one stream recording at a time…

407070invalid@example.com (marklyn)marklynCurious to know if anyone knows what the logic is why autohop only works when you turn on Prime Time?
I don't intend to use PT since 95% of what's recorded on the "big" networks, I don't really watch.
It would be nice if autohop worked on any recorded shows, but I'm guessing there must be some type of licensing restriction in effect.]]>38Flash Sale Popup
