    Yet again ... No Hopper-compatible EHD available

    Yes, usually there is a button on the switch plugged into the wall where you can manually turn the device of or on.

    Just thinking about the property taxes gives me indigestion.

    What's the difference in the Joeys?

    The Joey 4 does 4K AND HDR. One red recording light for 16 tuners?? Autohop IIRC has to be manually inserted into the video stream so it is supremely impractical to implement it on every channel and the wait times are imposed by the networks not Dishes choice.

    Hopper Plus with two Hopper 3's

    BTY, you can also protect specific recordings with a password.

    Hopper Plus with two Hopper 3's

    Let her record to the default drive and create a folder for the rest of the family and set your recordings to automatically go to that folder. She won't see your recordings and won't delete them.

    Got a new to me tv!!

    I had a Magnavox badged one. Weighed something like 210 lbs, The component input was flakey on it sometimes it just went berserk. I finally trashed it after I bought a Toshiba 55" RPCRT. After 4 or 5 years the inputs started going bad on it too. Now my 65" Samsung 2015 (pre HDR) flat screen is...

    leased box for new sub

    I sincerely hope it is the Joey 4 and NOT the 4K Joey, which cannot decrypt HDR so you can't watch any of Dish Network's programming on the 540 channels. Unless you record them on the Hopper then play them on the 4K Joey where they will probably be washed out colors and dim picture on the 4K...

    There really isn't much need for an ATSC 3.0 dongle for the Hopper3. All your major local channels will be carried over satellite. The ATSC dongle is merely a gratuity from Dish for OTA reception as a backup , but now there is the streaming option. And their current ATSC tuner isn't that great.

    Explain the 3.0 debate (likely scenarios)

    The logic is that OTA TV is a major avenue for Emergency Broadcasting and if the channels are DRM'd and your ATSC 3.0 tuner can't display them, it is a public information fiasco and possibly illegal.

    The FCC Will Allow ABC, CBS, FOX, & NBC TV Stations to Shutdown Free ATSC 1.0 & Switch to ATSC 3.0 Only

    We may all have to keep Dish Network forever if OTA goes ATSC 3.0 and DRM! CHARLIE WINS AGAIN! BTY, NO ONE in my DMA is even experimenting with ATSC 3.0. If my 5 TiVos can't pick up a signal I'll not bother to buy an ATSC 3.0 tuner, regardless.

    Explain the 3.0 debate (likely scenarios)

    It may not be the FCC that is out of touch . Broadcasting pornography and profanity willy-nilly over FTA broadcasting is out of touch.

    Dish Tailgator Pro

    Maybe a software update on the old box?

    Lost Tuner 3, need to replace my LMB?

    As a matter of fact I did try through Dish and the CSR said that the computer system did not show a wireless J4 available to me because I do not have a Hopper+. So, I did it myself and it actually reduced my monthly bill $2 because the owned Joey 4 is charged @ $5 while the leased Joey is...

    Lost Tuner 3, need to replace my LMB?

    I upgraded from a wireless Joey 3 to a wireless Joey 4. Bought it on line, called Dish and they activated it. Did not want the Joey 3 back, so it sits on a shelf.
