• You can permanently reduce your monthly satellite costs by opting out of two specific DISH services that are covered by your Your TV People subscription. First, we install a managed antenna for your local channels, which allows you to remove the DISH Local Channel Pack from your bill for a $14.00 monthly savings. Second, because our local professionals handle all your in-home service calls, you can remove the DISH Protect plan for an additional $12.99 monthly savings. Removing these charges results in a $26.99 lower monthly bill from DISH, which essentially offsets the cost of our premium local support. Not only is the cost change a wash, but you also bring additional over-the-air channels (like MeTV, Grit, and Laff) directly into your DISH guide and DVR—channels that aren’t included in the standard DISH Local Pack.

To ensure that our local Boise technicians handle your installation and manage your account, you must sign up directly with Your TV People. If you call a national 1-800 number or use a generic online form, your account is often assigned to third-party contractors who may not have the same expertise in our local Idaho signal environment.When you sign up at our Meridian showroom—located right behind the Krispy Kreme at Fairview and Eagle—you are choosing a Premier Local Retailer. This means you get the exact same national Dish deals, but with the added security of knowing your system is being installed, integrated with your antenna, and supported by the local experts who have been in this community since 2008. We handle your account from the very first questions before signing up, so you always have a local face to talk to if you ever need help.

Yes! We specialize in the seamless integration of your managed antenna into your DISH guide. Our Boise area professionals install a dual-tuner adapter that allows you to record up to two local news or sports programs at once, right alongside your satellite channels on the Hopper DVR. While this setup replaces the automated “Primetime Anytime” feature, most of our neighbors find the trade-off well worth it. You gain local channels that are much more resilient to Idaho snowstorms and completely avoid frustrating corporate contract disputes—all in the DISH channel guide alongside your satellite channels and controlled by the same DISH remote you already know.

Most people don’t realize that when a local station goes dark due to a dispute, they are often manipulated into advocating for their own price increase. The stations ask you to call Dish and demand the channel back “at any cost.” Every time an angry customer makes that call, they are effectively telling Dish to pay the station’s higher fees—costs that eventually get passed right back to you in the form of higher monthly bills. By using a Your TV People subscription and a professionally installed antenna, you step out of that cycle. Your local Boise channels come in through the air, completely independent of those corporate negotiations. You keep your favorite shows and sports, and you stop being a pawn in a game that only ends with you paying more. It’s the only way to make your TV service truly “dispute-proof” and budget-friendly.
