If it works i will post a picture of one of the mouse/some kind of critter-chewed coax that was connecting my deck TV to my Hopper. It's amazing, I was still getting reception - well,.... most of the time, well, ......some of the time until recently, and I had to replace the cable and put it in...

I wish bluetooth would work consistently. Bose soundlink works sometimes, never shows up in devices. Gotta go thru all the hoops everytime I want to connect up speaker. It works just fine with my phone and computer and tablet. Just another software problem added to all the rest. Oh, if I could...

I live in southwest Ohio, in the boonies and signed up for satellite last year. The speed is about as fast as my friends ATT Uverse, but more expensive. Of course there is a long ping time - usually more than a second, but speed is 6-8 meg.

When the Hopper first came out, I had Sprint/HTC phone. At times, the dishanywhere - or what ever it was called back then - was very sparodic and more often than not, wouldn't connect reliably. Now, I have T-Mobile, a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, the sling adapter and it just works. I watch some kind...

I've had a Hopper and three Joeys since they came out. I think the upgraded software is much better than it was at inception. I still get a freeze sometimes and have to rebooot, but over all it's a great system. To papalittle, the option to autotune is still there. I use it. I also think DIsh...

This Hopper software upgrade/update/upurhiney thing is getting old. I have been putting up with it, since I don't really watch much.....some college football and some weekly programs. I recorded almost everything during the election process, to miss the ads, and that worked pretty well, as I...

I've been absent for quite awhile, but did get the OTA module as they were released. I ordered it the first day they were on the website and got it three or four days later. I've been wondering why every single day, I have no local channels. I installed it by the book, scanned, saved, etc and...

I saw this post and was reminded that I hadn't tried remote access lately, as it was always pretty lousy due, I'm sure, to many things such as Sprints really slow network, my less than optimal home network, and the Dish software. I jhust logged on my Android and it really works well. It started...

kinda the same problem here. The Joey we use the most is on the deck, the farthest from the Hopper. A couple of times during a 2-3 hour sessin, the video/audio freezes, but not for a few seconds...forever. No amount of button pushing brings it back except turning the Joey off/on. I have no clue...

Noticed couple days ago the DOL is new. (software) It works really well on my Android, that is, after logging in 2-5 times! I e,mailed, but of course never heard anything. Not a bg problem, just one of those pains. I guess I could toggle a DIRT, but don't want ot bother one with such a small...

I do have Dish because I live "in the sticks". Wouldn't have it any other way. If not for satellite,k I'd watch a little broadcast stuff and probably read more. No way would I ever live (again) "in the city" or fenced off in a "'burb". While just being alive isn't all that healthy, living in the...

I got an email from Dish on how to watch it, but I don't know what it is, so didn't read it

Satisfied, overall. Any problems are rare, even with joeys. One lost its mommy one time, but a reboot reunited them. No OTA is worst, except I'd like to be able to use whole hard drive, as I don't use ptat, since I watch very little broadcast tv. Maybe new season will change that.

I also have an amp via HDMI and have noticed the audio sometimes is gone after a skip forward or backward, but it will come back after a few seconds - maybe 6-8, or stop and restart and it's there. Yeah, an HDMI handshake glitch, I beleive. As for skipping forward or back, I have no problem with...

This happened to me a week or ten days ago, but I don't remember the record light being on. First thing in the morning, I tried to turn on the Hopper, but got no response with remote - just dead. Reset did nothing, so I unplugged it, plugged it back in and it's been working OK since. I asked a...
