    Tailgater diplex support?

    I'm staying in my parents' camper for a month or so while my under construction house is completed. They have a tailgater and a Wally that I'd like to get going along with hooking up an antenna. My question is, can I use a diplexer with the Tailgater? I'm pretty well versed in satellite setup...

    Need a favor from someone in the north part of Metro Atlanta on EA

    Hey guys, I am moving (like, seriously real physically moving) from Birmingham to Atlanta in a couple of weeks and I'm trying to decide on whether to try to shoehorn Dish into my apartment or just go with Google Fiber. It all basically hinges on whether or not I can get Birmingham locals. The...

    4K Bluray & Streaming: HDR/Dolby Vision..what should I do?

    So I just bought an LG B6 series TV this week. It's got HDR10 and Dolby Vision I already have an Xbox One (not the S), so I also picked up the Samsung 4K Bluray player. I have a Hopper 3 with Dish Network. Here's my dilemma: I'm having some issues getting ARC working, so I can't really use...

    RDBS, Ka, 4K, SD duplicates...what is the future for Dish?

    So I've only recently been back into the Dish customer family after living in a location that could only get cable. I'm also getting back into FTA and just interested in the industry in general again. I picked Dish over DirecTV because I really, really like the Hopper over the Genie, but...

    Getting back in (never was too deep before)..some questions, suggestions?

    So a good long while back, in the 2007-2008 time frame while I was living at my childhood home, I got the idea to see what I could pick up with an old Primestar dish we still had installed from back when we actually had Primestar. I basically just put on an LNB and got a really cheap receiver...

    Kind of weird Hopper OTA tuner question

    Okay, this one is going to be a shot in the dark, but hopefully someone will have some inside info (Scott?) or will have come across this or have a poor low power TV station locally that might fall into this situation There is a new ATSC modulator on the market, it's only $300...

    America's Everything Pack?

    I'm seriously considering coming back to Dish after getting rid of it when I moved early last year. The Hopper 3 scratches a lot of itches, especially with Alexa support coming I'm also halfway on the fence about cutting the cord, so I am interested in the flex pack. I'm also not necessarily in...

    Hopper 3 for new customers?

    My brother has been on the fence about switching from DirecTV to Dish and I think he's ready to go now. I plan to refer him with a code and also help him with ordering. When doing the online configuration thing, it appears that it's still a Hopper with Sling. If someone orders online, will they...

    Dish ETF question

    About 2-3 months ago I came back to Dish after about 4-5 years. Now, somewhat unexpectedly, there is a chance that I might be moving in about 6 months, probably to an apartment where I wouldn't be able to have Dish. In the past I've heard that DirecTV will let you out of an ETF if you move...

    Ethernet bridging with hopper?

    Hey guys, I've been trying to find some info on this and have been finding conflicting information. I have a question about bridging between MoCA and ethernet on the Hopper. My router is in a different room from the Hopper, and right now I just have the Hopper on wifi. I plan to get a coax run...

    Just had Hopper + Joey installed, question about MoCA

    Hey guys, just got Dish installed last week after a disastrous one-month stint of trying to cut the cord (had dropped cable and decided that I wanted Sling to bridge the gap between the flexibility I wanted as a "cord cutter" and an actually reliable service) I have a Hopper and one Joey. My...

    Where do recovery kits go if you've "moved"?

    I've "moved" a few counties over to get Atlanta locals because I can pick up my own (Birmingham) with my AM21. I am about to need to send a receiver back, where do they send the recovery kits? Do they send them to the service address or the billing address?

    First bill/Dish Store rebate question (Dish internet team, help!)

    So I am trying to send in my rebate from Dish Store and it needs a copy of my first bill. Fine. However when you login to online billing, you don't have the first bill available, it starts with my second statement. Will the 'My Dish Rebates' company accept a copy of the second bill? I don't know...

    EA: What's the point?

    Ok, so I'm about a month into my new life as a Dish Network customer. I've been active here for a while as a DirecTV customer but have picked up some Dish knowledge over the years. When I ordered Dish, my confirmation email from Dish said I'd be getting an Eastern Arc dish, since I live in...

    Missing OTA guide data

    Is there a way to report missing guide data to Dish for those of us using the OTA adapter in a 722k or 222k? I live in the Birmingham, AL DMA and due to the merging of Birmingham with the Tuscaloosa and Anniston DMAs back in the 90s, it's a pretty large DMA in terms of land mass covered. We have...

    Just a friendly warning about DishStore.net/Metro25's rebate scam

    So I just switched to Dish and used Satelliteguys' sponsor DishStore.net. I even told them I was referred by Satelliteguys. Part of the deal is that you get a $125 rebate for signing up. What they DON'T tell you is that you have to PAY $16 to get your rebate. It's listed as a 'shipping and...

    Yet another..New customer questions (Sling, Google TV questions within!)

    Ok, so my contract with DirecTV is up in March and I'm looking at my options. I'd really love to fire my old Tivo up, but Charter is the worst cable company on the planet, and DirecTV is cramming more and more ads on their DVRs and they just keep getting slower and slower, so I'm looking at Dish...

    Significantly Viewed

    I tacked this question on the end of another thread and I dont think anyone noticed, so I'll ask it in a new thread. I recently "moved" to a county that is in the Atlanta DMA but also, according to DirecTV's website, is supposed to get two stations from Birmingham via significantly viewed...

    Request from a DirecTV customer for any Dish customers in Birmingham, AL

    This is time sensitive, can you check to see if ESPN2 is blacked out (Auburn vs. Mississippi). It's blacked out on DirecTV, and I'm on hold waiting to speak with someone. I'd like to be able to tell them someone has confirmed that it's not blacked out on Dish.

    Working remotely?

    Have any of you guys tried doing PC based FTA remotely? Since I've moved, I can't put up a dish for FTA due to neighborhood rules, however my brother is now living at my former home and I have an old Primestar dish up there. I'd been toying with the idea of putting up a second, motorized dish as...

    New Dish Network customer question

    I'm sneaking in here from the Directv forum to ask a few questions for my brother, who is about to get Dish. He moved into my house which is wired up with one coax to each TV that goes to a central location (had a single wire setup with Directv when I moved out). He is planning on getting the HD...

    New customer w/o install?

    Here's the situation: My brother moved into my grandfather's house, which already has a SWM dish and coax ran throughout the house, and was working until I moved out. I took the receivers with me and had a new dish installed and all is well and good. Now, my brother wants to setup DirecTV and...

    SWM tested diplexers?

    I know diplexing w/ SWM isn't an approved or supported setup, but what diplexers have you guys used that worked? I just need to diplex into one run in the attic to one TV.

    Attic antenna

    I just moved into a new house that is a bit closer to town and I want to setup an antenna for OTA, since DirecTV doesn't carry my PBS station in HD and there are a few subchannels I'd like to get. Unfortunately for this endeavor I am limited to an antenna in the attic because of HOA rules (to be...

    Smallest dish to get NASA HD?

    I just moved to a house in a subdivision, and I have a fenced in back yard. I have a great view of the sky, but the covenants say that any dish bigger than a DirecTV/Dish network dish has to be in the back yard and not viewable from the street. The only thing I want to catch with C-Band is NASA...
