    Directv installer here now but I'm really confused and need help ASAP

    Hi there, I'm not entirely familiar with Directv terminology so bear with me here. Getting installed right now. I'm getting a HR-54 from what I've been told. I have one 4k tv. The guy seems extremely reluctant about putting 4k clients in the house. The Hopper I have now is on the 4k tv while...

    No Fox Sports on Dish, so thinking about switching. Have questions though.

    Hi there, long time Dish customer who has generally been happy with their service, but between losing HBO and now losing Fox Sports I think it might be the last straw. However, I have some questions. First off, I want to ask about local channels. My CBS is owned by Nexstar, and from my...

    Change Hopper Update Time

    Hi, I am looking to see if there's a way to change the time the hopper runs the nightly update from 1 AM to 4 AM. I remember back when I had my VIP 722 (or whatever it was) I could change the time. If it isn't possible, is there any chance it is added in the future? Thank you.

    Hopper w/ sling powers off by itself

    Hi there, My hopper with sling seems to be having some issues. I've been watching the NFL Draft, and two times yesterday and once today the hopper just seems to shut down completely.

    Transfer recording from Hopper to 722K?

    The title is pretty much the question. Is it possible to move a recording from the Hopper to a 722K using an external hard drive? I know it's possible to move the recording from the 722K to the Hopper, but I need to know if it works the other way around. Thanks.

    Hopper and Joey issues

    Hi I don't know exactly how to explain this, but my Hopper appears to be having issues sending signals out to my Joeys. On the wireless Joey and the regular Joey, they both are not showing tv signal. Mostly it is black, but then it comes with a pixelated mess of green and a frame of what is...

    HBO and Dolby Digital

    I've been trying to figure this out, but haven't been having any luck. I was watching Game of Thrones last night and I can't get it to be in Dolby Digital. It only does Pro Logic II. I can get other channels to do Dolby Digital. I can't remember my settings right off the top of my head, but my...

    Issues with Hopper (telephone line and on demand)

    Just upgraded to the Hopper, it's pretty cool, but there's a small issue I'm having. The technician did not plug the phone line in when he installed it, so I decided to do it myself. Only thing is that when I do plug it in all my phone lines are dead. I checked the phone connection in...

    Questions about upgrading to Hopper

    I posted this in the Hopper zone but I did not get any replies. So I apologize if it is in the wrong forum. I am just doing a little research on the Hopper. I need to know what equipment I need as well as what the changes would be to the bill. First, a little background. I have a 722k, a 211k...

    Etremely strange delay issues

    I have two televisions in two separate rooms where if I am standing in the right spot I can see what is on both televisions. On one set I have a 722K, the other is a 211K with an external HDD drive. I am watching the Rangers-Brewers game on Fox Sports Southwest (channel 416) in HD on both...

    211 and 722k are both breaking at the same time. Need help, please.

    Two of my receivers seem to be going out at the same time. First, my 722K freezes the picture, the audio continues for a while, and then stops, and then the entire thing reboots. Probably once every two hours. My 211 takes a long time for the channels to change when I push up or down. Then it...

    NFL Red Zone question

    Quick question. I want to subscribe to NFL Red Zone. If I remember correctly, last season Dish offered a one time charge for a year's subscription to Red Zone. Are they not offering that this year? All I see is subscribe to Sports Multipack or something like that. If anyone has some extra...

    KXVA-HD Guide Problems

    KXVA went HD today on Dish, but the schedule guide is messed up. Just says "KXVA-HD" on it for the entire week. Is this normal for a station that just went HD on Dish? Hopefully it gets fixed soon, although knowing KXVA, it probably won't. Their guide has always been bad, showing that...

    Increasing rewind time

    I have a 722k, and it will only allow me to rewind 30 minutes on some channels and 60 minutes on others. On the 625 that was replaced by the 722k it would let me rewind 2 hours back. Is there anyway I can increase the rewind time allowed? I really miss rewinding up to two hours back.

    My sister was watching TLC HD when suddenly it cut off on her. I use a single Dish 500 for 61.5, and I checked the signal strength for it on transponder 19 and it says that the strength was only 3. It is doing the same thing on two receivers. It was working just fine minutes ago. What's...
