    Charge for Wallys?

    Why didn't you get a free one from Dish?? I'll never understand people buying receivers online. I hope you added a hybrid solo node...

    Dish hacked again or closed?

    The video is from 7 months ago and the article has no statement from Dish. I wouldn't call that "news".

    Looking for a single tuner OTA Dongle for the 211Z

    If you're not getting local channels through Dish, it's not our problem ;)

    2 Recording questions that confuse me!

    Dish will replace your purchased receiver with the same receiver model and it will remain your property. It's been that way for a decade.

    Joey 4 Internet Connection Loss

    I've now successfully completed 6 service calls for this exact issue. No one wants to believe it's their expensive router, but it is. Nothing wrong with it, but configurations are necessary.

    "No time to mess with it right now"?????? It's been two weeks and all you had to do was flip a switch. 30 seconds. Well, thanks for starting this thread seeking help, then doing nothing about it when people try to help you. I'll remember that for your next cry wolf lol.

    Nah. Dish will replace your purchased receiver just the same and your new one will still be purchased. Where do you get your info from??

    owning vs leasing

    Yeah, man. Never doubted you. It was all the talk about how much receivers are supposed to be, owned or leased. Sorry if it seemed like I was commenting against your posts. I'd like everyone to get a better rate.

    owning vs leasing

    I upgrade people every day. There's always exceptions, and it sometimes depends on who you get on the phone to make those exceptions. The standard fees of $15 for a hopper, $10 for hopper duo, $10 for super joey and $7 for a joey, leased or owned, are from Dish, not me. Anything you get cheaper...

    The more expensive the device, the more headaches it produces. Every time. I've had zero problems with Google and Linksys wifi6 mesh systems.

    Here's an interesting thread from a few years ago on Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/isueqi/anyone_had_issues_with_dish_hopper3s_and_ubiquiti/

    Nothing. Your Ubiquiti router is fine, it just doesn't understand the hopper 3 and it's separate IPs for the joeys. It thinks it's a rogue gateway or something. Turn off the threat scanner and you're good.
