    Replacing a Joey 1.0

    I currently have 2 HWS and 2 Joey 1.0 receivers (planning on dropping one Joey). The Joey I am keeping is so slow that it is basically unusable. From reading the Forums, it seems like I have several possible solutions. 1. Request a replacement Joey and hope I get a 2.0 and that it helps. 2...

    Call for tech or do it myself?

    My cables from the dish to the house are being pushed out of the ground by roots and are in danger of being cut by my mower. There are two spots with about a foot of wire exposed in each place. Should I try burying them myself and run the risk of cutting then (hard packed dirt and lots of roots)...

    Dish Anywhere only shows one HWS

    Sorry for the long post but I want to give as much information as I can. I have two Hoppers with Sling and am having issues with one and Dish Anywhere. HWS 1 is connected by cable to my router and HWS 2 is connected via MoCA. Both units are showing a connection speed of 28.385 Mbps and have no...

    Not happy, being forced to leave Dish.

    After 15 years, I am being forced to leave Dish with 18 months left on my contract. With the growth in trees this spring I can no longer get a signal off the 129 bird. This means I get no HD or Locals. A tech came out Monday but said there was no place in my yard that would work, suggested...

    Dish preferred method of connecting to network

    I currently have a 2 Hopper (one with Sling and one with Sling Adapter) 4 Joey system connected to my network with a HIC. Once or twice a week I get issues with Dish Anywhere not seeing one of my Hoppers and requiring a reboot even though the Hopper is seeing the network. Even when Dish...

    OTA Update?

    Has anyone heard any recent rumors on when the OTA connection "might" be coming out? I know the last I read was "this summer" but was wondering if anyone has any better time line on availability.

    Mirror Joey

    I have a Hopper in my Living Room and Joey in the Kitchen. 99% of the time they are on the same program. Unfortunately, the picture and sound are slightly out of sync between the two TV's. How easy would it be for me to set up the Joey to mirror the Hopper and would this fix the delay between...

    Is the Hopper ESATA port active?

    I have a ESATA Hard Drive that does not show up when connected to my Hopper but is recognized immediately when connected via USB. Before I buy a new cable to test and start troubleshooting the drive enclosure, I want to make sure it is not a Hopper issue. Is anyone using a ESATA drive and can...

    PTAT and OTA

    OK, I might be jumping the gun asking this before the actual release but here goes: Since my locals are not offered by Dish in HD, I can't use PTAT. When OTA support is offered, I will be getting the locals HD that way. At that time would PTAT work based on the OTA channels instead of the Dish...

    2 Hoppers, 4 Joeys, 2 Tech visits (6 Hrs Fri and 4 Hrs today) and still no second Hopper install

    OK, here is the quick rundown. Tech came and installed new cable for the two Hoppers. Installed the DuoNode. Hooked up Hoppers but not Joeys. Room one Hopper installs correctly but room two won't get a sat signal. Checked cables and swapped DuoNode but still no signal to room two Hopper. Swap...

    722K with OTA Module locking up

    So here is the story: About two weeks ago my 722K started freezing up once every two to three days.. By this I mean that: When switching channels, the info banner would stay on the old channel, the picture would switch, and the sound would not follow a pattern (sometimes switch and sometimes...

    Blockbuster MoviePass and Bundled Billing Accounts - When?

    Do any members of the DIRT crew know when bundled billing accounts (CenturyLink for me) might be eligible for MoviePass and/or what the holdup is?

    DISH Network Customer Support Online Chat

    While I would normally come here and contact a DIRT member with a issue, I decided to try the Chat help on the DISH site. I was connected with "Jackson" who was not only a pleasure to work with but was able to help with my Online ID issue and Blockbuster/Platinum package change over. I would not...

    East or West Arc for LOS

    If I understand things, I just had a new 1000.4 dish (black) installed to solve loss of signal issues. While I was trying to figure out the wiring changes I came across discussions on Western and Eastern Arc setups. After getting totally confused I thought I would ask for professional help. I am...

    Upgrade from broken SD receiver to HD for free (or really cheap)?

    I have a broken 12 year old SD receiver that I would like to replace/upgrade to a single HD receiver. The problem is that with the new equipment coming out before too long, I do not want to put in any money or re-start a contract. Dish was no help as they say my equipment coverage only covers a...

    Need real OTA Programming Guide info

    I subscribe to my locals (non-HD) and the station names match those I get when scanning my OTA channels. Dish keeps telling me they have no idea why I can't get programming guide info for the OTA channels. The info is there for the Dish locals but I only get the standard "digital service"...
