    Is This a Valid LNB Configuration for Two Hopper 3?

    I have Hopper 3s without the Hopper+ add-on. I don't have any problems with ch 540 4k, be it viewing, recording, or playback. Your buddy should be able to access the free 4k content. It's really limited but there's some there to experiment with. Look under 4k, then Free 4k. A bunch...

    Festivus - Airing of Grievances

    I've only gone to retention twice in my 28 years with Dish, both in the past ~month. If the normal CSR can't make it happen for you, just ask to be transferred to retention/cancellations. The Joey 4 does everything mentioned here; 4k 540 channels, YouTube streams at 4k at >300Mbps, PiP (though...

    FanDuel Sports Networks could possibly shutter soon

    WOW! So you are over $300, and you aren't at the highest tier? That is incredible.

    Insufficient Bandwidth - 1518 Message

    No router in the hotspot connection. Hotspot WiFi <------> Hopper is as simple as I can make it. No other devices present How would the router be preventing the transmission of data under one specific circumstance (4k from Dish only)? None of my other connected devices has a connectivity or...

    High Potential-ABC

    I started to watch this after getting the New Year’s special rate for Premium for Hulu, ESPN, and Disney. I had been doing the Annual Premium plan for Disney+, and fortunately that payment is paying forward so I won’t be billed for several months. The show and characters are entertaining, but I...

    My total bill is over 300 now. Including internet. To get RSNs you need the higher tier.

    FanDuel Sports Networks could possibly shutter soon

    How much is the local channel fee and RSN fee in your area? I don't have Comcast, but last time I talked to one of my friends who does, he said that the Chicago locals was around $40 and the RSN fee is north of $20. And with the changes to CHSN and Marquee going up a tier, it is an additional...

    Looking at my new Comcast bill is no wonder people are dropping cable.

    Is This a Valid LNB Configuration for Two Hopper 3?

    I wonder if you are using the Android DISH Plus unit plugged into your hopper? I think if you have the Plus unit it will output in 4k and even allow you to see 4k events like pay per views in your guide to be downloaded to your receiver. If you just have the hopper with sling, you don't...

    Space X to Merge with EchoStar?

    EchoStar was founded in 1980 ( 45 years ago) by Charlie Ergen and Candy Ergen and Jim DeFranco as a distributor of C-band satellite TV dishes. Originally operating as Echosphere Corporation, it evolved from a small Colorado-based retailer into a major satellite owner and operator, later...

    FanDuel Sports Networks could possibly shutter soon

    The entity is named Main Street Sports Group (a derivative of Diamond Sports Group?). Sinclair has always maintained an arm's-length relationship.

    Happy New Year! The future of SatelliteGuys

    It is more about the end of an era. It is kind of like Stockholm syndrome, where many endured for a long time and miss the suffering when it is gone. :oops: Some are already mourning the passing of DBS, and it hasn't happened yet.

    Festivus - Airing of Grievances

    AS for the HDR flag, at least on my pre-HDR Samsung UN65JU6400 4K TV, it plays all 4K content from the 540 Dish channels with no problem. On my H3 I often had to record a 4K channel and watch as it was played back at the same time, so the output from the Joey 4 appears to be less restrictive...

    Until now... all of a sudden it works, tuning SR's down to at least 240

    Comments from a newbie to FTA

    A deeper dive into EB's findings tells of the different tuners used in different revisions of the SF 8008. He also points out through testing that the latest does not exactly live up to what the mfg. states if actually can do. Although I don't have an 8008. TNAP does offer 3 different tuner...

    Since less than .1% of homes use dialup, which amounts to around 150,000, that's not much sadness.

    Comments from a newbie to FTA

    my take (I might be wrong) is that it's likely a combination of both. We know that E.B. has modified drivers to allow low SR since TNAP 5.1, for specific tuner hardware. But the Octagon 8008 has been known for a while to also have low SR abilities, it's been reported in the past, maybe at...
