    Help me verify my order for Hopper3

    Get the HDMI cable yourself if it truly is $40 from Dish - that is a ripoff. Amazon has several well-reviewed ones anywhere from $5 to $10 for most lengths you may need. Joey 3 is much faster than Joey 2. I like the 54 remote more than 40 now, though 40 does have more buttons for easier access...

    Dish America Plan

    I am currently on the Welcome pack ($22.99 now), but missing ESPN of course. I see the the Dish America plan as an option online on mydish for $47.99, but can't seem to find much info about it on regular dish site. One page I saw mentions it being $59.99. Which one is correct? It does show as...

    Cricket World Cup 2015 on Dish

    Good to know! Though I meant highlights, and not really replays - I should have been more precise. Would have been ideal to have those, and not having to record each whole match just for the highlights they sometimes show at the end. This is all I care about for matches of other countries than...

    Cricket World Cup 2015 on Dish

    Great quality, but I don't see the replays anywhere in the guide. Big bummer! The online ESPN service (same price) provides on-demand replays too. In hindsight, I should have got that..

    Cricket World Cup 2015 on Dish

    As the programming is from ESPN (http://espn.go.com/espncricket2015), I wish there was a way to access it both on Dish and ESPN website/apps with a single subscription. I doubt that will be the case though, as ESPN states the following about subscription directly from them: On what devices can...

    Hopper disrupting HDMI communication?

    I have this HDMI ARC issue as well with Panasonic TV (P60ST60) and Onkyo receiver (TX-NR818). But as I was not using this feature earlier, I thought the issue was with my recently bought TV and/or receiver. Spent a long time in figuring out what was causing the issue and identified Dish Hopper...

    Recently upgraded to 1H w/ Sling/1J, and liking it so far. 1. What are your favorite features on the Hopper/Joey? - HD on all TVs, PTAT. 2. What has been your biggest issues with the Hopper/Joey? (If you had install issues you can note them here as well.) - None. 3. Besides upgrading to a new...

    DISH Secures Long Term Cricket Rights

    Doesn't sound like it, at least when you started. If this is indeed the case, then start a new thread complaining about lack of channels you want. Those comments on a thread related to cricket channels point that your issue is with cricket, or threadjacking that one would usually expect from...

    Cricket World Cup 2011

    Cant wait for the game tonight! But I dont see the highlights of the final?!?! PLEASE show the highlights too! I would love to keep a recording of this, and the full match is just too much, esp in HD. I really hope the highlights are shown tomorrow!

    Cricket World Cup 2011

    In my view, the policy should be same as for other sports events. No reason to make exceptions for one specific event! On this basis alone, I agree this is bad business practice indeed. Not sure if its based on racial profiling, but I would give Dish the benefit of trying to explain its logic...

    Cricket World Cup 2011

    Interesting. Have you bought the willow.tv package already? If so, can you confirm the quality of that through Roku - how it compares to Dish HD (if you saw that). Gotta make a decision by tonight what I am buying, so this will be helpful
