I had Dish TV and unloaded the entire package and went to Verizon FIOS. Here is the problem with DISH that they do not tell you about in their TV ads. First, if you live in an area that has frequent severe thunderstorms, forget watching TV while the storm is wreaking havoc in your town. You will lose the picture for as long as the severity lasts. Secondly,
if you live in an area that has frequent severe snowstorms, you can forget watching TV at those times also.

We only get two days worth of guide, also.

About 18 hrs. After that it will automaticly download the next 18 hrs. I have only gone 3 days ahead, so I don’t know how far in the future it goes. Give them a call on their tech line. It’s an 800 number.

Don’t go there , DishNetwork nickel and dimes you to death with receiver fees , DVR fees and fees for changing your programming packages in addition to confusing terms and conditions regarding their high end boxes that cannot be purchased , only leased,, in addition Charlie is real bad to his dealer network , holds them fully responsible for busted contracts and such ... don’t expect any sort of decent service from them ,, they’re being beat to death from the one source that should be supporting them ... DishNetwork has always made their own receivers ... in the past that made DirecTV’s receivers better as they had many companies competing to build a better box ... it’s sad to see that DTV gave up that edge...

I would just buy a used high end DTV box on eBay or at a garage sale , unlike DishNets receivers the box doesn’t marry your access card so just plugging in the new box and swapping cards will have you up and running with your paid subscription package pronto.

While I dropped Dishnetwork in favor of AT&T’s U-Verse six months ago, during the ten years I had Dishnetwork, we always had at least two weeks of program guide. You could easily set events that far in advance for the DVR to record after we upgraded to the DVR.

You are online...go to their website and view it there.

We had a bad experience with Dish Network.

We priced & confirmed a system & price but when the tech showed up to install the system we ordered the price was higher. I called Dish and the system we wanted & ordered was $18 a month more than what we were quoted...the ol’ “bait & switch”...

I showed the Dish Network tech the door.

If you had just paid them the extra money they wanted, you’d already know the answer. LOL!

I’ve gone ahead a couple of days or so.

My stepdad and my brother both had Dish. I had direct tv. Dish is a ‘step down’ and it is not user friendly either.

[Tanniker Smith]

I believe you can see up to 8 days — that’s how far in advance the Search function works.

[Sans-Culotte]

My DISH receiver goes a week or more in advance. I usually run through my favorite channels and set up DVR recordings days in advance.

I’ve had DISH for at least 8 years. No problems. Sure, dense cloud cover knocks out the picture, but I never need anybody to repair anything as I always did with cable.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

mine gives 2 weeks.

[MizSterious]

I usually get 7-8 days on my guide.
