    Ok, I concede, next year I'll ask for 3 months free!

    Not if you want it for redzone, NFL season is 16 weeks.

    RedZone/Multi-Sport Package

    Also just chatted. Once I upgraded from 120 to 120+ the agent said I qualified for 1/2 price Multisport for 6 months. So another season of NFL Redzone here I come...

    What Happened To Commercial Skip ?

    3rd episode got Hopper. Not really interested in it anymore after reading reviews, though. Also my TiVo trial has taken a turn for the worse, populating multi episode lists has become tediously slow and the blue wait spinner is ever present. Also getting a so-called unexpected error all too...

    What Happened To Commercial Skip ?

    Again no Hopper symbol on Hannibal for the second episode. Meanwhile my TiVo trial continues to impress. May soon be a former Dish customer!

    Hopper with sling dead - Anything I can do?

    Seagate used to have the nickname Seizegate due to a inability to start spinning called "sticktion".

    Hopper with sling dead - Anything I can do?

    Were you able to determine the model # of the WD drive?

    What Happened To Commercial Skip ?

    I paid for AH, indirectly sure, but it along with PTAT and 3 tuners was what made me upgrade to the Hopper. And there's no rule that says it won't ever have a fee! What I find amazing is the lack of empathy for others who enjoy a feature that you don't find useful (calling someone lazy for not...

    What Happened To Commercial Skip ?

    All the repetitious detailing of DIsh's superb business acumen in using AH to leverage power against the content providers doesn't explain how lackadaisical they are in implementing it for their customers. For instance, 3 days later and still no hopper icon on Season 3 ep 1 of Hannibal. No...

    If you don't use it why would your opinion on it matter to me?

    Anybody else get reminded of the lady and the donkey scam in Mexico during at least one of those ads?

    HWS outputting Audio Description on PTAT Chicago PD 4/22/15

    I've noticed the same anomaly on several episodes of Chicago Fire. Properly transmitting sound and handling anything more technical than straight low quality mono or stereo seems to be a very low priority on networks. Just close your eyes and enjoy the audio description...

    Bad news for SIRIUSXM

    Ah, the Achilles heel of capitalism, trying to squeeze the last bit of blood from the turnip. Or just boorish behavior in the guise of self assumed cleverness?

    Hopper Internal Replacement Drive List

    And so far the only drive on that list for the Hopper is the aforementioned ST2000VM003. What would be cool would be for Dish to implement some sort of mirrored RAID design so the MTBF could be staggered over multiple drives. With the 3TB Hopper drive, lots of recordings are at risk during a HD...

    DIRECTV Told to Yank Ads Featuring Rob Lowe After Comcast Complaints

    Who told them to pull? My wife liked the ads (or more likely, Rob Lowe) enough to interrupt my skip ahead duties to run each new one.

    No hopping in CBS locals

    The 7 day timing is unfortunate. The hopper symbol never shows up on the series top level folder...

    What really is Dish Studio?

    Better than nothing, although I haven't found any worthy of recording on Dish Movie Mania to date. I did enjoy the Bond marathon on MGM during my free month. May now try to get the 1/2 off deal for BB at Home, so Dish marketing is working separate from the loyalty or free pitch, at least with me.

    CBS stations return to DISH

    A few years ago, I'd wait the 7 days, but current CBS programming just isn't as compelling to me anymore. I'm trying out a base Roamio now and it can handle OTA pretty good. And $12.50 a month isn't bad for a better guide than Dish/Tribune.

    CBS stations return to DISH

    Probably overstated it but still POed by this...

    CBS stations return to DISH

    Our CBS is not OO. Noticed that some recent CBS shows haven't gotten autohop but it's hard to tell if it's just a normal miss or due to the new agreement. Either way, will probably just delete CBS timers on my Hopper. When autohop and PTA are negotiated to worthlessness I will cancel Dish.

    Is there a way to disable the screensaver on Hopper shutdown?

    Checked mine last night. With HDMI-CEC on in settings both the TV and Hopper turn on with a single press of the SAT button. For turn off a single press of the red TV power button turns off the TV immediately and the Hopper after a 5 minute delay. At one time it was speculated that the delay was...
