Well, not quite like in 1966, but it still follows with the broadcast nets.

All I can say is that on attempting to help someone out with his tv and he had the 54, I was dumbfounded at what I saw as a regression in both user-friendliness and simply build quality. Compared to the "classic" 20s I found it cryptic just to navigate menu screens and the like, and it appeared...

What is hopper duo? 722 is a duo; isn't hopper a solo-user box, that you have buy another box to run to for a 2nd user? Doesn't the new hopper do sling?

But maybe they could say they don't sell them anymore so you have to lease

I found something out about Hopper 2 https://news.satnews.com/2023/09/18/stoke-space-hopper-2-has-landed/

They even sent a replacement 722 for owned one. 'Course I'd better review the bill to be sure they aren't now sticking me with a leasing fee or something

nope...

Wouldn't they just send a swapout replacement? At least you won't be trying to get a 722 out of them

I think it's paywalled. From what I could glean before it blanked out, it seems that DiSH's contract with Disney is very loosey-goosey about what constitutes a "subscriber" and allows for even someone not registered with Sling and only watching sling's free content to be considered a...

I serviced a radio station to keep them getting Rush Limbaugh. They were just using a home-type dish

The last thing I would want would be for them to extract payment through the system. I never use PPV and never change programming around or put on holds. As for remote control of system by support, no thank you. Maybe for thee but not for me, as I know their history, and as this thread attests...

Then why's it called a "4k Joey"? Can a hopper be placed in a location with no tv and have wiring (or wifi) run to multiple sets, and if joeys needed (for add'l same-time users) can they be placed away from TVs as well? Like just stack all needed rx boxes on a shelf in a utility closet, like a...

What is this 4k reference? That it outputs in 4,000 line resolution, which some newer TVs can display? And this is the "old model'...? I don't find there to be any appreciable operational lags (key entry delayed action) with the 722. I can remember some rx's of the past, going back into C-band...
