    SD Receiver 322 with HD Dish 1000.2?

    The DISH is not your problem. Your SD 322 is what is limiting your reception.

    2020: Finding local satellite installers to do side hustle / sidework?

    That's very possible DISH doesn't support the dealers that created their business.

    2 Hopper 3's one dish?

    No but with 16 tuners why do you want 2 hopper 3?

    Hopper3 has died, advice?

    1-800-333-DISH (3474). Talk to tech. support. If you are leasing the receiver DISH actually owns the receiver and should take care of you. If you are worried about the service call fees ask about the protection plan.

    How To Contact DIRT Rep

    You might try cancelling then requesting a "LOYALTY REP." DIRT of today is not the DIRT you remember they are almost useless.

    Fixed dish and receiver

    What are you expecting it to do? The Hopper 3 is fancier/capable of more things but both will tune the same channels from the same satellites.

    Credit where credit is due.

    It's a shame DISH hasn't got more receivers as good as the 211K.

    External Hard Drive from old account can't be used

    DISH has not changed their POLICY old hard drives must be on the same account number. You can still use the old hard drives but you must reformat and use them for new recordings. IS THE GRASS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE?

    Adding a wally/joey to existing setup.

    The Wally does not have the ability to support a JOEY. I don't think the Winegatrd dish can support 3 receivers.

    Does Dish Network have any OTA dongles for the Hopper 3 that have MORE than two tuners? What's the max amount of tuners I can get for OTA?

    Dish hasn't been able to get the 2 tuner dongle to work correctly, why would you want to open that can of worms? If you really need more than 2 tuners I believe there are non dish products offering up to 8 tuners definitely 4 tuners.

    Hopper 3 with 6 joeys

    How about finishing the post?

    Should I get an OTA, even though ABC/Mission had a temporary agreement

    YES get a good OTA antenna. I get about 72 channels off the antenna, no I don't watch all of them but with a DVR I have plenty to watch.

    No signal to my pathway asked to satellite by dish

    Your question suggests after 2 years as a customer you have little knowledge about your Dish system. Call Dish 800-333-3474 and setup a service call. Ask about the protection plan.

    OTA issue

    Dish has pretty much had that problem since they started OTA tuning on the Hopper. OTA has required a strong signal from your antenna,

    It has never been true with Dish even the first dish 500 could select from 110 or 119. The worst case is possibly the international channels, signals come off 110/118.7/119 and 129. Four different satellites and all are available from built in switching.

    Orby DVR locking up

    What software are you expecting on the HOPPER DUO? it might be a modified VIP 722K but it has software to operate like a HOPPER and has similar problems. LOOK FOR A USED 211K RECEIVER if you want a basic receiver NOT A 211Z THAT YOU ALREADY POSTED FROM AMAZON.

    Constantly losing DISH signal...

    If you don't have a Hopper 1,2 or 3 then the only thing you can have is a WALLY. Now what dish do you have 1000.2 east or Western Arc? Self install or professionally installed? How old is this install?

    Orby DVR locking up

    Have you read the problems with the Hoppers? DISH isn't problem free but they have more history with DVRs.

    Dish normally raises their prices in Feb. so 2021 and 2022 will possibly have price increases. Do you have a Magic 8 Ball to see those possible increases? With Dish you will sign a 2 year contract so you are stuck with what ever price increase they come up with. Local channels are on...

    Outdoor OTA No Longer Offered?

    Wonderful non answer from DISH SUPPORT. I'm moving next month guess I'll have to think about DISH's customer service.
