    Relocating a Hopper

    It all depends on how they wired your Hopper 3s and Joey units. There should be lines coming from the dish into a DPH dual hub and three lines from that going to your Hopper 3s and Joey units. The Hopper 3s should be running off the legs labeled To Host/Adv Client and the Joey should be on the...

    Moving back to Dish, but have a few questions first

    The other option is not to use provider based routers/modems (especially the combo units). I've found that those tend to cause problems more often than not and as such I avoid them. My current setup is definitely atypical (pFSense virtualized on a Dell PowerEdge rackmount server feeding into an...

    DirecTV to Dish?

    Unfortunately the Dish app does not currently have the capability to cast it from a phone/tablet. However the app is present on the Amazon app store so you can load it onto a Fire TV stick and then stream from the stick onto your TV in the garage.

    Called by Dish? You may receive $1,200 in a legal award

    Looks frivolous to me as well. The company that actually made the calls is Satellite Systems Network a retailer for Dish. Now I understand that Dish is responsible to a certain degree for their retailers but there have to be some limits. I'm sure that Dish has rules in place regarding...

    DishAnywhere How good? How about to a big screen?

    Too bad the Joey doesn't work across state lines. Although I suppose if you were clever enough with networking perhaps you could convince the Joey that it was on the same MoCA network when it went through a VPN tunnel.

    DISH and Amazon deliver Alexa voice control on Hopper DVR

    Volume control is already present as well. I simply say, "Alexa tell Harmony to <increase the volume/decrease the volume/mute the volume>

    State of 4k programming

    For that matter aren't they still in the process of finalizing the ATSC 3.0 standard?

    Pricing Question (Upgrade to Hopper/Joey)

    I'm not quite sure why you're bothering with the Super Joey as it looks like you're hooking up 4 rooms total so a Hopper and 3 Joeys should do the job just fine. If it's recording conflicts you're worried about just make sure to upgrade to the Hopper 3 which has 16 tuners and that'll be a non...

    Joey's SLOWWWW, getting pixelated picture

    Keep in mind that currently the 4K Joey does not support the Netflix application if that has any bearing on your decision. The Joey 2.0s are pretty fast units as is and they do support the app.

    Ugly Dish Satellite Install Picture

    The number of fails for QA in the picture alone are rather high on this one, no drip loop that I can see, improperly secured wiring, and excess wiring just to name a few and I'm sure that there are more that aren't in the picture. That would definitely not even come close to passing QA muster if...

    Dish Network Signal Integrity

    I don't recall what the e-mail is off the top of my head since it's been a long while since I've had the chance to use it. It might be something as simple as signalintegrity@dish.com . If that bounces you might want to contact one of the DIRT folks as I'm sure they can at least forward it to the...

    Extend Range of Wireless Joey

    I'm not entirely sure if that would work or not, perhaps somebody else on the boards has tried it and will be able to give feedback. One possible alternative if that doesn't work would be to use a power over ethernet adapter.

    Unique Receiver Setup Question

    I know Dish will permit up to 2 211/Wally receivers on an account with a Hopper/Joey install (this is so folks can use a tailgater with these units) however I don't think you'll be able to get these installed on the same dish. From the way I understand the new DishPro Hybrid LNBFs that are...

    The founder of Aereo is promising to bring gigabit internet to every home

    $350 upfront for the device is pretty steep compared to either DSL or cable as your typical decent cable modem (such as an Arris 6183 ) is around $100 and a decent DSL modem (technically a network bridge really) is usually around $70. I will grant you that I'd be willing to pay more for higher...

    What do I need internet for?

    It should be noted that while slinging inside your own home does use your network it does still need to hit the internet to authenticate your account. That won't use much in the way of bandwidth but just making sure you're aware.

    Downward slide continues for Sprint, perhaps Dish will take another try at a purchase?

    A very interesting point and I agree with you. It'd be very interesting if Dish did something where if you got a Sprint plan you also got SlingTV at no charge (not sure if they could do it permanently but I could easily see for the length of the contract) and it did not count towards your data...

    Downward slide continues for Sprint, perhaps Dish will take another try at a purchase?

    Well I was reading this story on Ars: http://arstechnica.com/business/2015/10/sprint-continues-decline-plans-job-cuts-and-cost-cuts-of-2-5-billion/ and I have to wonder at this point; perhaps Dish will get another chance to purchase Sprint? Maybe even cheaper than they were originally looking...

    Dish Dispute with KUSA

    Yeah just hooked my antenna into my TV once more, previously had it hooked into my 722k OTA module but now that I have a Hopper w/Sling I don't have that module. Hopefully the dispute doesn't last too long but if worse comes to worse I'll just purchase the USB OTA module for my Hopper (have some...

    Questions about DISH - before I jump

    I don't often have to use this function on my HWS but just one other thing to note. Unlike your TWC DVRs if you happen to get a rare extended outage (ie you can't knock the snow off the Dish if it occurs) you can still access your DVR recordings as well as access the On Demand programming that...

    DISH Statement Regarding FCC Draft Order on Designated Entity Credits in Auction 97

    Agreed, the FCC may not like what Dish did but if they indeed did follow the written and posted guidelines and there are multiple years of precedence then the FCC is going to find it mighty hard to win their case in court. With Dish's litigious nature I can easily see them taking it to court...

    Finally Did It!

    Well, the same model remote works on the wireless joey and the hopper, however the same remote does not, at least not easily. Each remote in a hopper/joey setup is paired with the receiver it is setup with. If you want to have multiple remotes you'll have to pair each one of them with the WJ and...

    AT&T fined $100 Million for Improperly Slowing Data Speeds

    They might although I haven't heard any news about it as of yet. Frankly I'm still disappointed at the tiny amount of this fine. Just for reference in the quarter ending in October of last year AT&T posted a profit of 33 billion dollars. Essentially this fine amounts to 4 days worth of profit...

    8PSK Conversion Update as of 6/9/15

    Sure, it'd be great if Dish could do that but it would be a huge expense for them to do so at least if they tried to do it all at once. There are a lot of commercial headends still out there that are using SD equipment but are at least 8PSK capable. Then there's the fair number of home customers...

    Upgrade or Repair - Your Opinion is Wanted!

    I also agree with the recommendation of upgrading as long as you are ok with the additional monthly costs. Personally I have a Harmony Hub which is awesome. I just have it placed near all of my electronic devices and the remotes that transmit to the hub send the signals via RF for the little...

    Dish DVR 625 Installation Issues

    Agreed with MattG on this one. The easiest switch to install in your case would be the DPP33 switch as it does not require power like the DPP44 would.
