    Hopper with joeys have 2 flaws/ Don't Upgrade to a Hopper system

    What about timers? If I have a movie set to record between, say, 12:30 am and 2 am, and I am using the new H3, will the new software update pop on at 1 am and ruin my recording? With the 622 I have now, the software update trumps my timer setting and I lose my recording, but that's not a...

    Eurochannel no longer on DISH?

    Dish dropped EuroChannel in mid-August and it was reported at the time. I liked the channel and was sorry to see it go. It was not HD however.

    Deleted Channels

    Eurochannel was removed several weeks ago. I liked that channel, even though it wasn't HD.

    Dish Continues to Lose Pay-TV Subscribers

    Well, they've got me as a customer for as long as they're in business, thanks to the 10-12 TB I have stored on my EHD's. I have gotten to the point where I watch more saved content from EHD's than I do from Netflix and Dish combined. In fact, I haven't watched Netflix in several months, and...

    TV5 Monde is now available in HD!

    The short answer to your question is that it's about history, culture, food, lifestyle, and entertainment, with all programming originating from the French-speaking world. Daytime is news, kids\'s shows, sports (rugby and soccer), with no subtitles. Nights are movies, mostly with English...

    TV5 Monde is now available in HD!

    I am flabbergasted! This is my favorite channel, and I had resigned myself to watching it in SD forever. Now, here it is in beautiful HD on channel 9666 (the old SD channel was 9857).. For those who have never watched TV5, it is a 24-hour French language station that consolidates material...

    ISIS attack shut down TV5 Monde this morning.

    I was watching TV5 Monde last night when it suddenly went black, around midnight; and all I got afterwards was a message that DISH was working on the problem and there was nothing to worry about. This morning I found this on the news...

    CNN and HLN gone/ Dish-Turner Dispute - Now Back 11/21

    I'm very pleased to have TCM back again. My thanks to the people on this Forum who have been keeping track of events and reporting back to the rest of us.

    CNN and HLN gone/ Dish-Turner Dispute - Now Back 11/21

    I don't care one whit about the cost differences between Dish and DirecTV; in fact, in the short run, I don't care what happens, because I have plenty of TCM stuff archived on EHD that I can watch. Long term, if Charlie carries out his threat to drop Turner "for ever", I will have to choose...

    CNN and HLN gone/ Dish-Turner Dispute - Now Back 11/21

    Exactly where I'm at. I watch(ed) TCM more than any other single channel, Turner or otherwise, and now fortunately I have my EHD's to fall back on. And some of the movies I recorded from TCM are ones I haven't seen yet.

    Missing HD Channels on Dish. (Bluegras, this is for you)

    Please add TV5 Monde to the list. It is available in HD. Citation: http://www.rapidtvnews.com/index.php /2014021932385/tv5monde-turns-to-hd.html It is a la carte (I am paying $10 per month for it) and on a separate satellite (international) from the other channels on your list. TV5 is...

    Having EHD Issues with DISH and CSRs are unable to help

    I am almost relieved. I have held onto my 622 despite all the nifty features in the hopper. It was hard, because I really wanted to buy a hopper, but I have noticed before that the EHD interface on DISH products is more prone to bugs than the other features and I suspected something like this...

    VIP 622...slow reponse to remote...unplugging fixes it for a while...anyone else?

    Dave, thanks for starting this thread. I noticed the same problem on my 622 this morning, after returning from a 2-week vacation, and then found your thread containing a solution that appears to fix it. Neat!

    BB@ Home disc By Mail Ending September 19th

    I can still get into my BB@Home queue. My queued titles are still there (all 7 of them). It shows that I have no discs at home, so the Criterion disc I received Tuesday (Ballad of Narayama) was indeed a gift. I go directly to this url: http://www.blockbuster.com/browse/queuemgmt/fullQueue

    BB@ Home disc By Mail Ending September 19th

    I checked the 'rent or buy' option for each of the 7 titles left in my queue, and oddly enough, none of them are available to buy. You'd think that if they were shutting down the rental side, they'd have a closeout sale. I certainly would buy a few titles, at least $120 worth (the amount I'll...

    Dish’s Ergen Scraps Blockbuster Plans After Wireless Delays

    I see that complaint sometimes popping up on Netflix-related forums, and the poster is usually told to phone a CSR and verbally request rental-DVD service only. Sometimes instead the poster is told to order both services through the website, and then immediately cancel the streaming service...

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

    I am also bummed out by the loss of IFC and Sundance, and those two channels can never come back, because the Dolans have been systematically dropping all the original programming that made those two channels good, so even if they re-appear on Dish, they will still be hosed.

    Thinking about dumping BB@Home

    I had two reasons for subscribing to BB@Home: 1) Sundance (kiss that goodbye!) and 2) Blockbuster had a very extensive inventory, with a lot of titles Netflix didn't have, and a 48-hour turnaround. Well, their inventory is definitely shrinking, and since they closed my local distribution center...

    Thanks to DIRT Team & Sat. Guys DISH Launches "Int. World News Package" Today !

    I have TV5 Monde and World Pack and I am very happy with both. TV5 Monde is a French-language channel, but many of its documentaries, and nearly all its movies, have English-language subtitles. This is good quality stuff that is not shown on any other channel and is not available on Netflix...

    DISH Blockbuster@Home vs Netflix

    When I first got my free BB subscription I experienced 48 hour turnarounds; but several months ago all my discs started arriving from another city, and turnaround slowed down to about 6-8 days. I have seen other posts in the subforum testifying to similar problems in other parts of the country...

    List your Distribution Center!

    Mine were coming from Portland until recently. The Portland center was really good -- I always got two-day turnaround. The latest title I received came from Seattle and that was more like a 10-day turnaround. I am hoping the Portland center is still open.

    Luxury channel-new on 118-International

    I found it at 9796. Looks interesting. Maybe this is the replacement for the Sundance Channel.

    New Channels

    I would like to see Smithsonian back again, but with more content this time. I also would like to see Shorts HD returned, but this time with descriptions in the Guide of what's going to be shown. I only watched Shorts HD once or twice, but I think that was mainly because the Guide never told...
