I posted about this a few months ago, but I wanted to post a quick update. We started with Dish about a year or so ago, but then moved 6 months ago. I did Dish Pause while we moved, then when we got into the new house we needed to add a new receiver. I asked several times if this would be...

Hi everyone. We're considering canceling our contract with Dish, and though I knew we'd be paying a fee for leaving before the end of our contract what I was just told by Dish seems nuts! I'd like some input from the group or the Dish reps if possible. Basically here's our story. We...

HI all. We have one Hopper, a Super Joey, and Wireless Joey. Very often when I view LiveTV on the Hopper the channels are completely black and no sound. I can watch DVR programs no problem, and I can even hit Record, goto DVR, and start the program and it plays fine from DVR.. just channel is...

Well we had an interesting thing occur that I didn't anticipate tonight. We have the Super Joey in our bedroom, and we let our kids go to sleep in our bed with the XM Classical station playing. We went in just a bit ago and an R rated movie we had set to record was playing instead. I have the...

We got a Hopper and Super Joey installed on Thursday (3 days ago), and the first day I enabled the Primetime Anytime feature and set like a dozen movies and series to record. As of last night it was showing like 30 recordings and 8% of the drive was used. Now when we go into the DVR it shows...

When I'm at home I can connect to the Hopper from my tablet and phone without any issue. I can watch live TV, play from the DVR, check the guide, everything. When i'm away from home using my mobile phone whether on the cell network or someone else's Wifi it doesn't work. Attached is the error...

We just got our Hopper installed today, so I'm still learning all the cool stuff it does. Something I noticed while going through the setup was you can pair bluetooth devices to it. What's the advantage of this? Can it stream audio from say my bluetooth phone or tablet? Or is it for using...

We just got a Hopper and Super Joey setup this morning, and none of the apps are working on the Hopper. Pandora and Weather Channel apps both say "Data Unavailable" and the Netflix app does nothing, going go it just blanks the screen then returns to whatever screen was active when Netflix was...

Hi all, After being a cable cutter for about two years we're moving back to Dish. We got an offer in the mail I'd like to take advantage of, but I have some questions to bounce to the group. I'm looking at a Dish offer that's saying the America's Top 200 is $39.99 for 12 months, but I want to...

We're having a dang of a time getting a good answer from Time Warner Cable in Central Texas. We had just their Internet service for a few years and paid about $48/month which included a leased cable modem. Then last year we added Cable TV with a DVR and our bill went up to about $130 a month...

Hi all. We dropped Dish over a year ago not because we didn't like it, rather we were just looking at ways to cut costs. Plus most of what we watch is available via streaming providers like Netflix and Amazon Prime. About 6 months ago though my wife wanted to get it back, so instead of...

We dropped DishNetwork a month or so ago, but I'd like to see if I can reuse anything from the Dish setup for FTA. Seems like I remember reading the LNB used by Dish Network won't work for FTA and possibly neither can the dish itself, but can I reuse the mounting brackets they installed on the...

I'm trying to cancel our Dish subscription through the website, but I'm not seeing the option anywhere. I can see them wanting me to call so they can try to persuade me not to go, but we're cutting back all non-essential bills/services due to some hard times on the horizon and Dish is...

Our 722 died last month and we replaced it with a 722K, but the TV2 out going into other rooms is very snowy and virtually unwatchable. Any suggestions? No cables have changed, the TV2 cable connected to the 722K is snug, and I didn't touch the cables on the second TV. As for our setup, I...

Just curious, Dish Network has some good channels for Kids, but is there any word on whether or not PBSKids Sprout might come to Dish anytime soon? It's really the one channel I think our kids would watch the most if it were offered, and it has programming that's not available on any of the...

Just curious, would the Glorystar system with DVR1100 be capable of receiving a signal from both Galaxy 19 and AMC 21 at the same time given I get two dishes? Or even if I just wanted the PBS programming on AMC 21 would this suffice? Seems like I read the PBS stations on AMC 21 were moving to...

A few weeks ago a tech who came out to realign our Dish added a wifi adapter to our 722K, and now we have streaming content, but honestly I can't find much content on there that's available at no cost. Do any of the OTA networks (NBC, ABC, etc) offer any of the Primetime content here? Also I...

An installer who came out recently to redirect our dish added a USB Wifi adapter to our VIP722 (now a 722K since the 722 crashed), and today while going into the streaming content it seemed everything requires a paid subscription. Is there any streaming content, maybe the most recent versions...

I'm just curious, my dad still has his old Primestar dish in the back of his house, so would this work for FTA? Granted a new LNB would probably be needed, but what about the Dish itself? Also the dish looks like it's been through hell and back, so I'd assume a good cleaning would be needed...

Last night our hard drive crashed in our VIP 722, and I've read that the installers can replace it with either a VIP 722 or VIP 722 K. We do periodically record from our OTA antenna, so given the VIP 722K requires the OTA module is this something I can ask for at no cost if they only have a...

The hard drive in our VIP722 died last night and a tech is coming out tomorrow morning to replace it. Unfortunately I never backed-up our programs to an external drive which I'm now kicking myself since we had this DVR for like 4-5 years, but with the new one I was curious if a USB Thumb Drive...

Just had a Dish technician come out today to repoint our dish since it had become out of aligned, and wanted to post the experience over all was great. Last night I worked with two different people on the phone as they talked me through checking everything out, and it was nice given both were...

Just curious if the GloryStar DVR system can connect to any Ku band satellite or get non-GloryStar programming on Galaxy 19? The system is only $289, but though I don't care for the christian content the system itself looks like a nice all in one package.

I just read this on our local TV station's website: Central Texas Satellite Installer Electrocuted RAGLEY, La. (June 6, 2012)—John Peavy, 33, a satellite dish installer from Bryan, was electrocuted while on a service call in Louisiana. Peavy died Monday, the Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Office...

Just curious, is there a single DVR that supports both FTA signals (Ku band, specifically AMC 21 and Galaxy 19) and OTA signals from an OTA antenna? I've seen DVR's for each at a few hundred dollars, but surely someone makes one unit that can accommodation both. I'm also looking at MythTV, but...
