I'm interested in discussion options for upgrading to a Hopper 3

New Hopper with Sling arrived this morning. The tech was great, and even though i've been using a wifi dongle all this time and the new DVR has built in wifi, the tech recommended adding a HIC which i let him hook up. I'm not sure if i see a difference, but more free equipment is cool, and i...

As of this morning, everything is working properly again. I received a software upgrade overnight, and now everything is working. So, i suspect that either the last update i received was bad or the bad signal issue was the problem. Either way, everything is working correctly, which is good...

So i took a trip to the roof and did some "pruning" and here's what happened to my statistics : 110-14: 28 (then) 59 (now) 110-15: 28 (then) 57 (now) 110-16: 33 (then) 62 (now) 110-21: 32 (then) 59 (now) 119-14: - - (then) 62 (now) 119-15: - - (then) 66 (now) 119-16: - - (then) 75 (now)...

I want that deal as well... where do i select "contact my employer and get me paid time off" on the Dish website? :p -d

That's the problem. I'm in a condo, and the association dictates where i can can/can't have a dish mounted. It's on the ONLY location i'm allowed to have it, and the tech that did the install had a hard time getting a signal. Add to that there's a tree just outside my balcony, i'm more and...

So.... after chatting with Ray on the DIRT-team, i've got a tech coming out on Saturday to figure out what's going on with my signal and, while he's at it, upgrade me to a Hopper With Sling (which i'm psyched about). However, what i'm worried about is this... what if, for whatever reason, the...

DIRT-Team Ray offered to ship my HWS replacement to me to upgrade myself, which i would have preferred. However, since i've been having some signal issues as well, he suggested that i have a tech come out to check things out and install the new DVR while he's at my place. All told, it'll cost...

I've been chatting with DIRT about this. They think it's a problem with signal, so we'll see what happens next. Thanks for the input, guys!

I've been PMing with Ray from DIRT. I'm also eligible to upgrade from my OG Hopper to a Hopper with Sling at no charge without increasing monthly payments. This seems like a legit deal, and i'm psyched! -d

So i don't have the protection plan... Will it cost me to get a tech to come out?

Wow... i think something's wrong. Here's what i found: 119-19 - 30 129-21 - Couldn't get a signal (then it hit 30 briefly) 110-16 - 34 I had a problem with low signal when i was originally installed, and on the advice of another user, i checked (and posted) the my signal strengths on several...

Oops... yes, 7/17. When i type anything into the search field, where it says "Back", every box has the word(s) that i'm searching with no actual real results. I have had some intermittent signal issues of late. For example, this morning, i lost some of my local channels for several minutes...

I'm on S246. The guide does have channel logos on the left side (i'm 99% sure... i'm not at home looking at the Hopper now, but i remember seeing them at lunch, i think). On the Dish Anywhere app (which i think is fed by my dvr), my guide goes to 9/17 at 4pm. My original Hopper and 2 Joeys...

Rebooting did nothing for me. Here's pics of what's going on.... when i hit search: And this is what my list of recorded programs looks like: Any other ideas?
