    Dishanywhere shows old Hopper

    I recently received a replacement Hopper...both the DishAnywhere app, and the DishAnywhere.com site still show the old receiver. I do not see anyway of changing this, deleting the old name, etc. In fact the old Hopper is not even listed in the "My Equipment" section of MyDish. I hit up the...

    Hopper freezes during playback of recorded events

    I had it check for the latest software and it did an update. I tried another on demand, from the guide, told it to watch now, and it froze after about 3 minutes. This time I was able to recover from the freeze, by going to TV Viewing Options, TV Activity, then DVR, and chose another DVR'ed...

    Hopper freezes during playback of recorded events

    Hopper freezes during playback of recorded events

    No this is the traditional hopper 3. Did I post in the wrong area? I might call them this weekend. If any of the Dish tech have any "lingo" I can use to convince them, that would be great lol. Short of me say it is all &#^#ed up lol

    Hopper freezes during playback of recorded events

    I guess I will have to escalate or something. I have called about 3-4 times but over the course of a few years. I have not had a lot of time to stay on the phone with them and jump thru hoops... I kind of gave up, but maybe I just need to demand it somehow.

    Hopper freezes during playback of recorded events

    so you are saying, if I called Dish and said I want to BUY a NEW Hopper, then life would go on? Meaning they wont come out and fix or replace as it is leased and they really have not incentive to fix it? but if I just buy one then chances are the new one will perform as designed?

    Hopper freezes during playback of recorded events

    So if I do an On Demand recording, or a Watch Later On Demand recording, randomly during playback the movie just freezes, as if you hit pause...then the only thing that works is the guide... you cant watch any other dvd event, nor can you go back to any live channels. If you select something...

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    Well a good Radio Broadcast Engineer keeps a supply of RG-6 connectors on hand lol. Now that it is dry out, I thought, ok, lets just see what I can do from the ground as the dish is way too high up for me and my ladder is not tall enough lol. I remember Dish came out once before to do exactly...

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    Well yesterday, Friday, we had another set of rain storms, and now I am out again, like it was when I first posted screen shots. So I did a few test installations, and got the same results, then I did a third test installation, I think after unplugging the system, and now it says Node N.C. and...
