    Hopper Install Today

    I've had them both, previously 2 722k, currently a H2000, and an HWS. Not sure how the 722 (k) could be said to have smoother GUI or faster than either hopper, unless a faulty situation is present that is causing problems.

    A foot of snow on the ground and...

    I live in Pittsburgh DMA and as an installer who hates heights, 40 degrees is easier to hit than 20 degrees lol. But seriously, since I switched from my 1000.2 WA to my 1000.4 EA I've lost signal far less. I'll promote the Eastern Arc forever.

    Dish installer questions?

    I'm a former installer. If I could install the dish while standing on the ladder I would run the 28 footer the whole way up and bolt it down. Now, I hate, HATE roofs. And it depends on who installs it. I worked for an rsp and they told us their insurance quit covering us if we stepped off the...

    Xbox One control of hoppers question

    Much appreciated guys, thanks a bunch. FWIW, the Xbox one is really a neat setup outside of playing video games. Smart glass app on Android is getting better for it also.

    Xbox One control of hoppers question

    So I buy an xbox one. Go through the setup to be able to control my stb/tv. It asks for mfg of cable stb, enter dish network and boom, the kinect now controls my hopper. Very well to my surprise. Not I mean simple stuff like, watch usa, channel up, pause, that kind of stuff. My issue is that it...

    They are "weird" like that for a couple of days. Don't worry, we've all gone through it.

    Hopper Error Code 23

    Agree with Halo, these things are kinda wonky the first couple of days, give it a day or 2 to work out. If it's not working after 3 days call em up or contact DIRT via this forum.

    Hopper upgade

    Couldn't agree more, 2 hoppers for 4 tvs is the best setup possible. IMHO.

    Hopper Fees

    Find one on an abandoned house :) or in all seriousness, if u see one in ur neighborhood and you can see its disconnected, just ask them if u can have it. A dish with an lnb should b fairly easy and cheap/free to come by if you put some time in.
