    OTA Adapter

    Is the AirTV still the better dual OTA adapter for the Hopper3? If so, can someone please repost the link to the correct one? (I can't find it in the archives this morning.) I'm really tired of "No signal found" so it's time to break down and buy a new adapter. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G935V...

    Satellite Internet Newbie

    I'm getting ready to move to the "country". The only internet options available are satellite or a hotspot on my phone. Due to my ancient phone plan, to add a hotspot, I would have to change plans - which would cost me an additional $150/month. So, I'm exploring satellite. I know it's slow...

    Dish Mover

    I'm hoping to move within the next 6 months. Once things get closer to actually happening, is there any reason I would want to add the protection plan before calling Dish? I would hope to time things so that I am not without service - turn it off at this house and turn it on at the new house...

    FETV - Channel 82

    This is the channel that has been broadcasting Cozi part time. Did they break with Cozi? I went to watch Quincy and it's One Day at Time. According to the Cozi web site, they are showing Quincy. Disappointed.

    Hopper3 & Amazon Echo?

    Can a Hopper3 be successfully paired with Amazon Echo, so that the Echo could be used as an inexpensive speaker bar?

    No Episodes Available?

    It's Saturday evening and I have nothing more exciting to do than to catch up on some of my recordings. I have a Hopper 3 and 4 Joeys. A week ago, I had an adventure replacing a Joey that died. Tonight, I'm watching with that replacement Joey. When I click on my DVR, it says that my Hopper3 is...

    My Joey 2.0 died

    My Joey 2.0 died. Dish is sending a replacement, but I feel kind of bad for the little guy. Maybe I should have a service for him or something. I did a chat. I asked the representative if I could take a Joey from another room and use it here (living room). He told me I could try, but it wouldn't...

    Dish Anywahere - Congratulations! You are looking at the 61.5 orbital location

    So, I have 2 original hoppers. One has a Sling adapter on it. I also show dogs, so I travel a lot of weekends. I love love love my Sling adapter. This week, I happen to be at a week long dog show several hundred miles from home. I checked everything out last week before I left. Everything worked...

    Battery Cover

    Ok, here is the stupidest question of the night. Need to replace the batteries in my remote, but I can't get the cover off. Have tried a butter knife and whacking it [gently] on the edge of a table. Help? (The cover on the other remote slides of quite easily.) Thanks!

    Hopper 2K Upgraded to S449 - Joeys Don't Work

    I can't believe I'm the only person with this problem. Both of my Hoppers (2K) were upgraded to S449 overnight. None of my Joeys (3) work now. :-( They are getting hung on "Downloading Vital Information." I have reset (unplug, wait and plug back in) the Hoppers and the Joeys numerous times...

    Dish Anywhere - Time Zone Weirdness?

    I have not seen this anywhere, but maybe I've missed it. Original Hopper with sling adapter. Usually when I travel, it's in my own time zone (Central). Last weekend, I happened to be out west - Pacific time. I started watching a program that was recorded with PTAT. It aired 8-10pm CDT. When I...

    Dish Technical Support Called? Is This For Real?

    Got a call last night. At first, the lady spoke so quickly and lowly, it came out as garbled garbage. (That in itself made me think it was some kind of scammer calling.) By the second repeat, I got Luanna and Dish Technical Support. I simply said that my Dish works fine. She said, "That's all we...

    Remote with bigger buttons?

    We're making progress! Got the D* turned off yesterday. They made a valiant effort to keep me. Then, the installer came and got us set up with a hopper and some joeys. But, one of the members of the household has some vision problems, and the buttons on the remote are tiny. I contacted customer...

    Tip the Installer?

    I have an appointment for Monday to switch from Direct to Dish. I've been told it will take several hours. But, I'm wondering - is the installer going to be expecting a tip? If so, how much might he be expecting? thanks!

    Why Wait?

    Two years ago, I tried to upgrade to HD. Dish came out; told me that the neighbor's tree was blocking my line of sight to the satellite. Not only did they refuse to do the install, they ended up telling me that I needed to cancel my service because of the los issue. I was a happy Dish customer...

    Protection Plan & Broken Equipment?

    Short story - moving furniture; cat managed to send receiver box crashing to the floor. It's totally and completely dead. Will the protection plan cover this, or will I be billed the cost of the replacement? If I will be billed, we can get by without the box for a couple of months. If the plan...

    Dish & Direct on Same Tv?

    I know that it says that I'm a new member, but I've actually been reading these forums off and on for about 5 years - since I first switched from cable to Dish. And, I know that my question is pretty dumb, but I'm not finding the answer with google. I'd like to know if it's possible to have...
