    Official - I have a Hopper 3 Thread!

    Dish has had this function for years by using the pip software. You could simply freeze the program you were watching, press the swap button without opening a PIP screen, and freeze and swap between 2 the tuners at will - my prefered way to watch 2 programs at once in lieu of the annoying (but...

    Dish Vs Direct Tv

    Sam, I have had D and DTV, when available, for over 15 years, and continuously since 2003. Neither ever had everything I wanted. For now, it's not even close - it's Dish by a mile. Until DTV updates it interface and. speeds up it's operations, I will use Dish primarily I'm sure DTV could...

    Switched from Dish Hopper to DTV Genie - First Impressions

    I have both, and I just switched back and forth on fox, espn, and network channels. No difference in pic from nose to screen to 10 feet. I have a high end 55" lcd tv - maybe it's up scaling both pics to same resolution. What is different is the Hopper changes channels almost instantly while...

    Hopper with Sling Software Version S342 Remote Control Color Button Menu Shortcut List

    Thanks. If you push yellow-2-1, chart says "Favorites" come up. What does that page look like? Does it bring up a screen of different menu options such as "all hd" and "all sd' and "all channels" and a list named and selected by user? Or does it go direct to your list of favorites?.

    Necessary to remove the dish when a hurricane is on the way?

    I have Dish and DTV dishes on the OBX of NC. Four hurricanes up to 115 and numerous NorEasters with gusts over 80mph in last 10 years. Never touched the dishes except when upgrading. Hope I never find out about faster winds:-)

    picture-in-picture

    I use PIP often during football season, and have had both Dish and DTV since the 1998 because neither alone had all the channels I wanted to watch. So every tv I bought had PIP. Then Dish added PIP, and it was better than the built in versions on the TV, so I dropped it as a requirement for...

    Ordered a 922 VIP Sling versus an old 622. Hope I made the right choice.

    Maybe you'll get lucky like me. I upgraded to the 922 about 6 months after it came out, primarily for the sling feature. Have had no problems with it - rebooted it twice since I got it. The sling was flaky at first, but almost always works well for me now, and I use it a lot on laptops...

    HR34 vs. HR44

    Just got a quick look at a DTV tv adv saying they get rid of all wires to your tvs. Adv shows before and after pic of a tv with lots of exposed wires attached and then wall mounted with no wires, with family celebrating the new look. Quite a promise. The adv didn't reference any hardware...

    What's Up With The Lack Of 3D Broadcasting

    ESPN has 3d channels and is showing the Masters in 3d this week. But you'll need DTV to see it because Dish and ESPN aren't cooperating. Not a great loss - it's like the early days of HD, repeats most of the time, with a few real jewels every now and then.

    HR 34 Worth the Upgrade?

    Thanks guys. Sounds as though I need to get a 24 (or 2) for now and let the 34 "cure" for a while. JohnW

    DIRECTV's Masters Tournament Coverage A ‘Gimme' For Golf Fans Who Want In-depth Coverage

    R&D, I agree with you. I switched to the 3d version at 4:30. Maybe they didn't advertise it because their production isn't really ready for "prime time." I'm very glad they are trying, but it's a tossup as to whether I'll switch today. Biggest reason to watch isn't 3d, it's no commercials...

    DIRECTV's Masters Tournament Coverage A ‘Gimme' For Golf Fans Who Want In-depth Coverage

    Sorry - didn't mean to question whether it is in 3d or not, but why there is no publicity for it. I've seen only one ad in the many Masters pro-mos on CBS that mention 3d. Why the total silence - they're spending the money to provide it? Is DTV the only 3d broadcaster for ESPN 3d. It is...
