    Would like to upgrade to the Hopper 3. I have an original Hopper.

    Dish having transmission issues?

    Me too; lost 72 about 10 minutes ago.

    Reliability of the Hopper

    I switched from a 722 to a hopper (one tv). The hopper is better than the 722 in virtually every way, and is more reliable. It's a real accomplishment for Dish, I think, to release a box with software this good.

    The New Sling App from Dish for Android is beautiful

    Looking at another thread (in the hopper subforum), I uninstalled and re-installed the app (there also seems to have been an update) on my tablet. Initial tests indicate that it's now working fine! Really nice. Cool beans.

    The New Sling App from Dish for Android is beautiful

    The next day I tried it again, and had success on the Galaxy SIII. The 10.1 tablet, though, is still broken in the same was as I reported above. I dunno what changed to get the SIII working --- I did reboot the hopper, but it could have been a change on their end.

    The New Sling App from Dish for Android is beautiful

    The app does look good. The UI is much improved. It connects really quickly to the receiver, and you are looking at your recordings or guide in no time. However, I've not gotten much past that. On my phone, if I try and view a recording or a live show, I get a blank screen. On my...

    8/16/2012 - Dish Remote Access Android App Updated

    Yeah, that used to work for me. Last night, though, no dice. I restarted the app multiple times. Restarted networking on the hoppa'. Rebooted my router for the hell of it. In the app, I logged out and back in again, and even rebooted the tablet once. None of it had any impact. Edit...

    8/16/2012 - Dish Remote Access Android App Updated

    Well, I tried to use the app again last night. It would show me a guide, although it was the wrong guide (wrong locals). It would not find my DVR. However, when I selected a show from the guide, I could view it (and the sling adapter showed up in the tuner list on my hopper when I did so)...

    8/16/2012 - Dish Remote Access Android App Updated

    Followups. I played with it a bit; for issue #1, I discovered that if I hit the quality button, the video will sync back up with my choice. for issue #2 I have no work-around, but an interesting note. When I came home for lunch I looked at my hopper, and the external drive was no longer...

    8/16/2012 - Dish Remote Access Android App Updated

    Works ok here --much better resolution on my tablet than before. Two problems, though: - you can now browse your DVD/guide while watching TV. However, if I try to change channels while doing so, the video freezes (sound switches over, though). - I can't see my ehd -- those recordings...

    Hi there DIRT. I'd like to find out if I can upgrade from a 722 to a 1H/0J setup. Cheers, Ken

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    Called this morning. Got to a CSR in 5 minutes, who didn't have a clue what I was talking about. Suggested he transfer me to account loyalty (thanks, satguys!), which he cheerfully did. The rep there answered in 2 minutes and had me set up in no time. No dickering at all; he gave me a roku...

    Questions about The Hopper?

    Just to make sure I am understanding things right... I currently have a 722 and a single TV - I can use my current Sling adapter with a Hopper? - If I replace my 722 with a single Hopper/no Joeys, I will pay an extra $4 per month (on top of the current $6 DVR fee)? Also, is the...

    Dish online guide/dvr troubles?

    Am I missing something? The guide and DVR controls seem to be getting worse on Dishonline. - The guide doesn't seem to show all the channels. I can't find the HDALT channels, for instance. - Trying to choose a day and filter is awful. I click a few times and seem to get random listings of...

    SatelliteGuys First Look Review - DISH Sling Adapter

    Got a sling adapter for my 722. So long as we're honest about the bandwidth we have available, it works well (trying to view at Best/HD quality causes lots of problems; I need to widen the pipe to my DVR). We use it on my wife's iPad, our laptops under windows, and our android phones. My...

    dishnetwork.com login changed

    It took me a few tries to log in. Then I was forced to change my password. Then my new login was rejected, and I had to go to the password reset email. The system rejected my answer to my security question, and now my account is locked. The guy at dish I called told me they're having issues...

    Managing disk space via remote access

    Submit to where? Is there a website for such requests?

    Managing disk space via remote access

    I don't believe this is currently possible; if it is, I can't find it. When I look at my dvr via remote access, it seems to combine my external drive and the internal drive when displaying what I have recorded. That's fine with me, most of the time. However, the dvr doesn't treat these two...

    Home plug

    Be careful to get compatible Homeplug devices. I *believe* the homeplug implementation in my 722 is the older (slower) standard than the current 200Mbs devices. I'm pretty sure there is no compatibility across standards. I have two 200 Mbs homeplug endpoints in my house; one at my router...

    So who has added and canceled DHPP?

    I did this a few months ago, at the recommendation of a CSR!! I was shocked when she suggested it, but she told me I could spend $xx on the service call, or add DHPP right then, and not pay anything. It was the silliest thing ever.

    Is CBS HD always this bad?

    That sounds like here. Other HD on CBS is OK, but the quality of FB broadcasts is horrible. There is one substation here, showing old TV. Other stations have one or two substations, and don't suffer this problem. Like I said, the picture is bad via sat or OTA --- it isn't dish's fault. Oh...

    Is CBS HD always this bad?

    Over this football season, the quality of broadcasts on CBS has been lots, lots, lots worse than other stations. Whether I'm looking at CBS OTA or on Dish, the picture looks very bad; motion causes lots of pixelation. ESPN, ABC, NBC, Fox, all look much better. Is this usual, or is my local...

    just lost channel 340

    This happen to anyone else (Sunday, 3:10 eastern time). Sky's are clear here in PA with no storms anywhere in sight. Numbers for sat 77 are lower than usual (they're always low for me). Ken
