    Can my account be put on vacation until my contract is up?

    After 16 years w/Dish I have about had it with the really poor programming and a $135/month bill. I've switched to Netflix and Amazon for 95% of my viewing now and yesterday downgraded to the Flex pack. What a crock that is for $40/month. 90% worthless junk. I find it hard to believe people...

    Here is a link to several hundred movies w/audio and resolution detail

    I came across this yesterday and it shows ~ 1000 movies and tell us what the audio formats are and the resolution like 1080p, etc. I don't know if Dish transmits them with original audio or down mixes it. Technical Statistics Page - Blu-rayStats.com

    Is Dish downgrading the audio on movies?

    I have messed with this audio for a week and it sure looks to me like Dish is not sending the original audio like Dolby 5.1. I watched Lone Survivor again and my AVR shows the audio at PCM - 2 channel and no surround. That movie is in 5.1 and you will be counting the bullet holes in the walls...

    Question about new V 54 remotes

    I have a projector and do not want the remote to turn it on/off since it only has one button. The v 52 had two buttons. I want the volume and mute to control my AVR audio. I would like the source to also control the AVR source. Can the diamond buttons control my projector on/off or the Roku...

    What audio formats does DISH support these days?

    Seems like most of Dish audio is crap or still in the stone ages. What are the current formats generally available with the HD feeds? Thanks

    Question about Dish Hopper 3 video output resolution

    I have a good Sony projector (VPL-HW45 ES) and a 120" screen in a dedicated room. I am using a Hopper 3 for movies and can not seem to find out if the quality is 1080p or 720p or what it is. My projector can handle all of it. Is there a setting or a way to see what the output resolution from...

    I would like to backup my movies -- NOT transfer to my EHDD. Is there a way to do this so if the Hopper dies I can reload a replacement with my backup? Thanks

    New SW on the Hopper REALLY sucks!

    I can not imaging why Dish would have changed the DVR screen and removed text while increasing the icons to 5 across. Then for a bit more aggravation when you select the movie/show you get a different screen and not the information screen. Mind boggling, like someone deliberately tries to...

    Auto Tune Question

    Does Dish not have an auto tune anymore with the Hopper 3? Seems I used to tell my Hopper to tune to channel 200 daily at 6:00 AM and it did it. Now It does not work and I can only tune to a named show. If they change the name say on Saturday and calll it xxx then again on Sunday and call it...

    Dish Anywhere app for Samsung and Sony smart tv's

    Tried a search and nothing. Is there an app available and will work with either of these newer TV's. I have an Amazon fire stick but it has some lag with the Dish Anywhere app. The TVs are hardwired so I was hoping I could put an app on them instead. Thanks

    Help with Hopper 3 and Sony VPL-HW45ES projector.

    I got my new Sony projector installed today and have an issue. I connected a new HDMI cable from the Hopper directly to the Projector. There is no signal apparently. I can plug the Hopper cable into my regular Sony TV and it works fine. Is it not possible to send the Dish Hopper signal...

    How to make an auto tune timer on the Joey with a Hopper 3?

    I have tried it all but nothing works. I simply want to have the Joey auto tune a channel number (not a show) every day at 6:00 AM. It was simple with my older Hopper2 but this thing is crazy stupid or I am - gotta be one of us!

    How to delete a program with new 52 remote

    After I watch a program off the DVR I do not see a way to delete it - how? The 40 remote and a button to press and gave you the options to handle it.

    New Hopper 3 problems

    Just upgraded to the new Hopper 3 from My H2 w/sling. Tech did not seem to know much. Told me the Joey would only pair 1 remote - I told him 2 and he wanted to argue a little. He told me I could not restore my timers from my old remote - I suggested we try it - they did. BUT - my timers...

    What LNB do I have?

    I recently moved and want to do a Hopper 3 but would like to do self install. A new dish was installed and mu system shows that I am using satellites 72 and 61.5 with a DPPEA.2 Would I only have to change the solo for a hub to install the Hopper 3 or would the LNB need replacing as well.
