    Dish Protect Question

    We did a dish mover 2 months ago and last week I had to have a tech come and move my dish because a large pecan tree in the back yard was effecting 61.5. Had to take a Dish Protect to avoid $95 tech visit. Looks like here in Texas I'll keep it for 3 months.

    Does Dish still charge a penalty for dropping Dish Protect too soon?

    Which LNB is for which satellite?

    Looking from that direction 1 is pointed toward 128, 2 is pointed at 119 and 3 is pointed at 110.

    Help With A 4K Joey!

    Exactly which Joeys do you have? There are 4K Joeys and there are Joey 4s. The 4K Joey does not play well with the current HDR broadcasts that Dish carries for 4K content. The Joey 4's do receive and output the 4K HDR content from the Hopper. May we presume the missing channels are the 540's?

    Been with dish for 12 years - needed faster hardware!

    Not only that but with PTAT (Prime Time Any Time) enabled prime time big 4 network programming is all recorded on one tuner and you can have a USB OTA dual tuner dongle (two tuners) so theoretically you can watch three channels and record 18 others AT THE SAME TIME! 15 Satellite+ 4 PTAT (takes...

    OTA antenna combiner

    Using a splitter as a signal "combiner" is only effective for relatively strong signals because 1/2 of the signal from each antenna i goes down to your TV while the other half is re-radiated out the other antenna unless they are both pointed in the same direction. This is the multi-antenna...

    Dish Anywhere what receivers work?

    IIRC, the Sling Adapter was for the ViP722, maybe for the Hopper 2000 and was discontinued in 2019 because it used technology that was easily hacked (Adobe Flash) and was in the hardware - therefore not fixable. This Satellite Guys discussion in 2017 is still not clear whether the Sling Adapter...

    T-mobile home internet compatibility with dish hardware?

    Are both these services running on the same cables to the users. They should NOT be. Is your T-Mobile wired or wireless internet? How long has this been happening (just started, since Dish was Installed, since T-Mobile was installed, forever)? Were there recent changes made to either system...

    Hopper 3 H373 update 04/24/2024

    I tried to download H373 Sunday night but it just rebooted and came back to programming - twice. I tried again last night and after the second re-try it did download and install H373 and the signal protector is there now.

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    I just executed an interesting experiment. My H3 is connected to an old Panasonic 42 inch plasma 720p TV. Sunday I recorded channel 540-02 on my H3. About 5 minutes ago I tried to play that recording but the H3 said it could not play it , I pressed OK and ot popped back to live TV. SO... I tried...

    Pressing the rewind button jumps waaaaaaaayy back

    Flipping the breaker, turning off the power strip and the like are all effectively the same as unplugging, assuming there is no UPS on the line (uninterruptible power supply).

    Pressing the rewind button jumps waaaaaaaayy back

    Unplug your Hopper, wait 30 seconds, re plug the Hopper and let it restart. Might be a transient software glitch that rebooting fixes. That's always the first thing to do when Dish hardware goes wonky.

    No Digital Audio Out from Hopper

    The only way to "power off" the Hopper is to unplug it.

    Dish DVR recording Extra Innings channel 476

    I have seen in the past if your recording starts before Dish switches to the feed of the program on, it never switches. So, I have to start one minute+ late.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Possibly not just a red led, but a red led display that shows how many of your 32+ tuners are recording.

    Hopper creating constant buzz?

    Dish Wally Is JUNK

    I thought the 118/119 lnb was one unit that received both sats, a bit larger than the two larger ones pictured.

    DVR recording question

    The only way I have seen to see file size is when you transfer the recording to an external drive it indicates how much space is needed for that file. As for OTA recordings, all of them are MPEG2 and thusly about twice the size of MPEG4 recordings with similar resolution, MPEG4 being a more...

    LNB Caps shot

    I also believe the bolts on a 1000.4 are wider apart at the top than near the lnb arm, so It's probably a 1000.2.
