Agreed. Massive upgrade from the original Hopper and Joey setup that we had. Even my wife, who is indifferent to most electronics, has said how much better it is. Now that is a ringing endorsement!

DIRT was able to resolve my concerns. They are an excellent resource, as always.

Sent you a PM. Thanks for your help.

Hi DIRT, About a month ago I chatted with a rep about upgrading to a Hopper 3 and 2 4K Joeys. They offered me $50/Joey plus free H3 and free Install. So $100 total out of pocket plus a new 2-year agreement. I told them I'd think about it, and they said the conversation would be detailed in...

Coming here to vent a bit, and also see if any of you experts have any advice for what, if anything, I can do to remedy my frustrations with Dish. Below is a list of ongoing problems that I have with my Hopper (original version) and Joeys (original version). If any of you can provide...

Exactly! I pay for Dish to provide the channel and I pay Dish to lease a receiver that is supposed to record those shows. Dish is eliminating both of those, and the subscriber gets screwed.

And you seem to have misunderstood the entire point of my post (while simultaneously quoting a single sentence of it without the surrounding context). Let me try to make it more clear. I would have no way to access my NBC station, via Dish, the single tv service provider I faithfully pay my...

Maybe this is obvious to everyone else, but could you answer this for me? I'm unwilling to give up a major network channel and to be used as leverage by Dish. if they cancel one of the big 4 networks, would that allow me to cancel my contract without penalty? I have hopper, with no OTA, so if...

Theoretically, the above two answers are correct. In practice, for me, the skip function is pretty much random, especially if you skip forward too far, and then want to back up a bit. It varies anywhere between 2 seconds and 2 minutes. It can be extremely annoying.

Over the past week plus, my Hopper has started to reboot itself several times per day (and that's only the ones I notice and am home for). Basically, the screen freezes up, it sits there for a minute or so, frozen, and then the fan comes on loudly and it reboots itself. The reboot can take...

OP said "Overridden", not overwritten. Two very different things. So, you're both right! (or is it write?) :)

I didn't look through this whole thread, so it may have already been reported. At the end of every show, even on live TV, there is a brief pixelation of the screen and the sound chops out. It does not matter the channel I'm on. When there is ~1 minute remaining on a program, it happens every...

What a childish and ridiculous response.

I'm in the exact same scenario as you. I've had the hopper in the bedroom since the day they were released. it is certainly loud and annoying enough to make me strongly consider replacing the television. I'm going to give it another couple of weeks to decide.

This may have already been mentioned, but it seems that this issue only affects the hopper, and does not impact the Joeys. At least, that's the case for me. My Joeys have remained on the last used guide (which for me is a user created list) every day. However, my hopper reverts back to "my...

Thanks all for the feedback. Sounds like maybe it's just me being sensitive to it, since I have it in a quiet room. To be clear, it doesn't sound anything like a sick hard drive sounds. It's just the clicking of the seeking heads that I'm hearing. They just seem louder than normal, and are...

So I've actually really been enjoying my recent hopper/joey upgrade for a few weeks now. However, I am a little bit annoyed by the level of noise coming from the Hopper. I needed to have the Hopper installed in my bedroom, because the TV there doesn't have an HDMI port, so it won't work with...

1) How many Hopper/Joeys were installed? 1/3 2) Were you able to get the best promotional price for the Hopper system? Yes, $100 + free install 3) Who did the install/upgrade? Dish Network Tech, Retailer, or Third Party Contractor Dish Network Tech 4) How long did the install take...

Egads! First, thanks for all of the replies. Looks like I'm out of luck, as I won't have time to track down an external DVR to copy prior to my install tomorrow. Walking dead i should be able to get Roku, but I think Chuck will be tougher. May have to do that one via iTunes. Anyway, thanks...

Hi All, My Hopper/Joey install is scheduled for tomorrow morning. It is replacing a 722K and two 211s. One of the 211s has an EHD attached, and has some recordings I HAVE to keep (i.e., the last two episodes of Walking Dead, and the series finale of Chuck. Both of which I haven't had time to...

Just used the online chat and was offered the upgrade for $100 with no installation fee. New 2-year commitment. Install scheduled for Tuesday. For the datapoint, I'm just over 2 years with dish, top250 package +HBO and Max, autopay.

Question regarding Blockbuster movie pass streaming Hi, I have signed up and linked my dish account with my blockbuster movie pass account. Last night, I wanted to try out the streaming using my 722K. I pressed DVR, then selected Option #3 (Blockbuster Movie Pass), which brought me to a new...

Hi All, Brand new here. Thanks for such a valuable resource. I ordered my Sling adapter yesterday afternoon, and received it by 10AM this morning. I'm in Denver, but that's still pretty cool. Install took less than 5 seconds. 2 issues, hoping you can help. 1) I cannot figure out how to...
