Just bought a Vizio P55. So far, it's great. Need to get it calibrated, etc., but the hardware is just spectacular. 126 zones of local dimming and HDR (Dolby vision, with HDR10 coming), so it's very versatile. The tablet remote is pretty cool. Being able to mess with picture settings...

Sign me up for an upgrade, please!

Try this... Works for me almost every time. For some reason LP will default to an SD feed if you get there via channel up/down. Once you find the game, try keying in the channel number with the remote. For me that almost always makes the switch to the HD version of the game. Weird, but it...

Matt, YGPM.

Owned 211. No balance. I just upgraded to a Hopper. $50 plus actual shipping. email at lgball at google email service if interested.

They did in fact treat me well. And the service tech was great. A far cry from my recent experience, so a nice surprise. Sorry about not posting this in Classifieds. I looked at the bottom of the forum list for the classifieds section and didn't see it. Never thought to look up top.

So, I got hit by lightning last Wednesday. Both Hoppers and both Joeys were fried. It was a major fight with Dish to get a technician out to the house. They just wanted to do a receiver swap, but I wasn't sure what was fried, so I wanted a diagnosis. After asking for a supervisor and...

Happened to me again just now. Seems like it's on the first visit of the day. Scott, this doesn't happen on any other site. I think the problem is on your end.

Has happened to me on two separate occasions on two separate machines. Looks like a name resolution hijack or something.

CubsWin - check the coax line between the node and the Joey. Make sure there are no splitters, diplexers or other such devices between the two. I had the same problem and discovered that the installer had left diplexers from the previous install in the lines. When those came out, it worked...

Same here, but it's weird. I get the home page as logged in most of the time, but then at random times, the forums "lose" my login and I get the ridiculously ad-filled version.

A built in Joey maybe? D* is doing that with their Genie system.

Thought it would only be fair to let everyone know that the DIRT team came through for me. I am a satisfied customer again. That's the way customer service should be. Thanks, Jason!

So I posted about this in the Hopper forum, but I am increasingly frustrated and would like the opportunity to discuss this with someone on the DIRT team. It doesn't appear any of them are online right now or I would PM. Anyway, my Hopper install was about 30 days ago. The technician did...
