Sorry to resurrect my old post, I just made another post reply but just noticed you replied to this. Can you please PM me if you are free so we can discuss? I just contacted Dish again and was told again i had two commitments and the cancellation would be the total of both. I would love to...

I posted about this a few months ago, but I wanted to post a quick update. We started with Dish about a year or so ago, but then moved 6 months ago. I did Dish Pause while we moved, then when we got into the new house we needed to add a new receiver. I asked several times if this would be...

Hi everyone. We're considering canceling our contract with Dish, and though I knew we'd be paying a fee for leaving before the end of our contract what I was just told by Dish seems nuts! I'd like some input from the group or the Dish reps if possible. Basically here's our story. We...

HI all. We have one Hopper, a Super Joey, and Wireless Joey. Very often when I view LiveTV on the Hopper the channels are completely black and no sound. I can watch DVR programs no problem, and I can even hit Record, goto DVR, and start the program and it plays fine from DVR.. just channel is...

How do i do this? the installer told me anything i setup in the Hopper will carry over to the Joey, so I guess that's not true. i setup all the parental controls on the Hopper, so i'll need to set them up on the Joey too i guess. just hoped we could use the music feature on DIsh withoult it...

Just wanted to chime in. This happened to us today, we had a power outage that lasted just a few seconds, and all of our programs disappeared. If this is a normal occurrence I might be dropping the Hopper and going back to the VIP 722 which never did this (for us anyway). We only lost two...

Well we had an interesting thing occur that I didn't anticipate tonight. We have the Super Joey in our bedroom, and we let our kids go to sleep in our bed with the XM Classical station playing. We went in just a bit ago and an R rated movie we had set to record was playing instead. I have the...

I cycled the Hopper, but alas no recordings came back. Oh well. I just hope it doesn't happen again. Sam

What do you mean? Unplug the power and let it come back up? Will this show the missing recordings or just prevent this from occurring again? We did have a power blip earlier today, but if that was it how could a power blip delete everything, including the folders I created? Or is it because...

I was one of said customers, we cancelled our Time Warner cable TV service not long ago and went back to Dish. TWC uses such outdated cable boxes and they're crazy slow. I mean there's still a Record to VCR option on the DVR menu, and it's literally a 5 or more second delay between hitting a...

Update. The timers I setup are all still there, but none of the recordings are. Also I had created some Folders for stuff to go into, and none of those folders are there too. Is this normal? We're recording new stuff now. Just stinks because I recorded the Walking Dead marathon, and as of...

We got a Hopper and Super Joey installed on Thursday (3 days ago), and the first day I enabled the Primetime Anytime feature and set like a dozen movies and series to record. As of last night it was showing like 30 recordings and 8% of the drive was used. Now when we go into the DVR it shows...

Ahh, good to know. The installer told me the Joey just copied everything from the Hopper so they'd be identical. I'm finding that's not exactly the case since I had to setup the parental locks on both separately.

Thanks. Interestingly enough our Super Joey doesn't have the Netflix app listed, so would this be added once everything is downloaded?

Thanks everyone. We have a soundbar, but it's connected to the Optical output on our TV so everything going through the TV can use it (DVD/BluRay player, cable box, whatever). I just wasn't sure if I could stream audio from my phone or tablet to the Hopper and have it play on some dedicated...
