Up at our new seasonal site, and after a month - finally decided to get our Tailgater set up. Running into issues though because we got one of the “nice” lots next to the tree line. Doh! Tried setting the tailgater on top of our slide, and could only see 110. Move it to the roof, all the way to...

So I’ve been supplementing and making some subtle changes to my account just to save a buck and be a little more efficient. I’ve removed 3 joeys from my account and replaced with Fire sticks (for less used TVs like the garage and an office TV) My next idea is to quit paying the $12 monthly...

Been awhile since I've been on here, but I wanted to stop on and check things out, and hopefully get a little research done. Long story short, times are getting tough. I've cut what I could, and switched to the lowest options on everything else. I've never considered "cutting the cord" before...

This past week I've been noticing a random crackling issue while watching Dish. It's only been the local channels that I notice it, but I've never had an issue before. Not 100% sure if it's Dish, or if it could be something else (HDMI cable, receiver, speaker, etc) Hard to explain the noise...

So I've been debating over the years of cutting the cord. I'm debating on giving it a shot, but I'm torn on what to do. Should I just pause my service? I've never looked into it, so I'm not sure what "requirements" there are to do so. Or would I be better of just canceling outright? Part of...

I've read up about this in the past, but haven't really followed up in it for a couple of years. How do you guys keep the snow off your dishes? I had to climb up the ladder the other day to clear mine already. It's usually 2-3 times a year that I have to do that. I know there was some talk...

OK. I think I'm going crazy or something. Quite some time ago, I posted about the black/white "noise" on the top portion of the screen. I chose to live with it, rather than run my TV in overscan mode. Well, just today - I am noticing pink on the right side of my TV. It's only visable on HD...

Like the title says, I'd actually rather see what shows I have recording - versus just seeing PTAT. I happen to know that Survivor is on Wednesday, so I think it starts tomorrow. Malcom in the Middle? Modern Family? Raising Hope? Not sure on any of them. When I look to see what's coming up...

We noticed the free HBO preview over the weekend, and decided to record a few things. One of the things (Lilo and Stitch) was on this morning at 12:40am, which technically would have been 40 minutes after the freeview ended. I checked and it looks like we got the whole recording. That made me...

When the auto-hop feature was first rolled out, it was pretty spot on. By this I mean that there was usually less than a 1 second overlap of the beginning/end of the commercial group. Now I've been noticing more and more lately that I'm seeing a good 3-5 seconds into the commercials. It ends...

I've thought about cable cutting for a few years, and it just isn't feasible (read: wife won't let me get rid of Bravo). I know in the world of contracts, I'm generally itching to get the next best thing, and I'm held back by a contract. Cell phones are a good example. I always get a new...

So I've started dabling in using the home media protion of the Hopper. I've got plenty of other items in my HT that support DLNA, so I've got quite a few movies and shows on my PC. Long story short, I just tried to show my wife how to use the Joey to watch some TV show from the 80's that I...

So far I'm very happy with the H/J setup compared to the 922. I am noticing an odd problem though that nobody else has fessed up to yet. It's happened the last 2 nights in a row - although it generally only happens once every couple of weeks. My Joey's keep unlinking from the Hopper. I've...

I haven't yet checked this in my basement (very limited use, so I never thought to go down there yet) - but with the Joey in my bedroom, I get a weird noise if I skip forward or backwards. It isn't the receiver itself, but it's showing through the TV audio (connected via HDMI) It either 1) is...

I've been noticing lately that when I'm finishing watching something, and it's over - I goto delete the program, and I hit the DVR button - I only see 2 or 3 programs. I need to hit cancel to goto live TV, then hit DVR again to see all 10+ recorded shows. Anyone else see this happening?

Dish sent a contractor out to my house (normally they come themselves) - and he did not take my 922. He did say that Dish will send me a box for it, but I want to verify that it will happen automatically. I don't want to be sitting on this box waiting for something that might not be coming...

So I got an appointment setup for the Hopper install today from 8-12. Got a call at about 7:30 from the tech that said they don't have equipment for my install (1h/2j) but he will call me "if they get a truck today". So now I'm not even sure if I will be getting it today or not. I'm guessing...

So I'm getting my Hopper tomorrow - pretty stoked to get rid of my 922 (you'd think I'd learn from being the guinea pig before). Oh well. Back on track. Got a question that I haven't heard an answer to yet. So I've found a good way to save all my timers. Someone(s) had mentioned to take a...

1) Does anyone know if my 922 timers will be able to be transferred to the Hopper via the remote wizard? 2) Will the Netgear wireless USB work on the new Hopper system? Looks like I'm getting an install tomorrow, but the guy on the phone doesn't have the answers for me. Edit - not to mention...

So for the last 2 nights, it seems my DVR only wants to record half of my shows - and it wants to do it in 2 parts. For example, tonight I recorded Big Bang Theory. 2 recordings, both of the same show. One is 13 minutes long, the other is 6 minutes long. Did the same thing last night to How...

Found this today - thought I'd pass it on since there seem to be so many rumors flying around here. FCC OKs AT&T purchase of Qualcomm spectrum - Technology & science - Wireless - msnbc.com

So I bought a 211k from Iceman earlier this afternoon (he's local to me). I had a 211k upstairs in my bedroom, that really has nothing to do with this. I also have a 922 in my living room, and TV2 was wired for my basement. I'm trying to "unconnect" TV2 from the 922, and run it with it's own...

So I had a 922 die on me about 2 weeks ago roughly. It has since been replaced, but I've had a quirky issue with my new box. Ever since I first hooked it up, the HDD info has been incorrect. It fixed itself for a couple of days, but now it is back to being all screwed up. It has not affected...

So, the HDD took a turn for the worse on my 922. Received a replacement (compliments of MaryB - Thanks!) yesterday. Got everything setup and activated. Used the remote wizard to restore all of my timers. All is well. Been gone all evening, so I can't say when the issues presented themselves...

So I've got 4 shows on my DVR that will not play. I also tried to play "How I met your mother" and it played for 2 seconds, then went to live TV. Wouldn't even let me play it afterwords, so I tried "Workoholics". Well, that played HIMYM for some reason. I've read that a code 04 is corrupt...
