    Antenna Too Far Away

    sam_gordon, Been too busy to do much on this. I will ask Dish about it when time allows. Reason for thinking it was an antenna problem was it looked just the same as it did when I was on OTA only. Just got Dish again early last month. I can say at least with Dish(Hopper3)it can tolerate the...

    Antenna Too Far Away

    I will look into that.

    Antenna Too Far Away

    WOW! That is a lot of information on how local channels get to Dish. Much more of an involved situation than what one would think. I will give it an attempt to contact the local station and see what happens. I have a bad feeling that it is going to end up being a typical "pass the buck"...

    My future with Dish

    Since you mentioned spectrum TV, I can through in 2 cents of info. The TV is OK, but the DVR is a TOTAL pile of crap. If you record many of your shows you are going to miss most with a two channel recorder!

    Antenna Too Far Away

    A question was answered a time ago that Dish gets local stations from a fiber optic connection or from an antenna. OK. Well, when one of my paid for OTA station has far too often break ups, Dish must be using an antenna for that channel. Question now would it do any good to complain to Dish...

    Interesting stop playback problem.

    Pause works just fine. But that does not stop the playback. . I will try the power button and see what happens. . I did discover that doing a pause and then changing channels does stop the playback and not the recording. . Since the reason for stopping the playback is because I have to go do...

    Interesting stop playback problem.

    I discovered something that did not happen when using my OTA and computer system. Now with Dish, this is an interesting problem. I had a recording running on the today show. Recording from 7 am to 9 am. I started watching the recording about ten to eight. After watching for about one half...

    OTA Channels and the Guide

    Well that sure covers the subject. A lot of involvement when it comes to channel guides for sure.

    OTA Channels and the Guide

    Thanks for the info. 99% of the time I do a search for something, I get 200-300 answers and 90% of them have nothing to do with the subject. I almost never have any good results with a search.

    OTA Channels and the Guide

    Is it normal for some of the OTA channels to not show any guide information and others to show full info? The ones that are not showing info only display the station call letters.

    DVR Shows That Are Not There or......

    The latest problem with Dish anywhere came up and I followed what it stated on my phone screen when I attempted to watch a recording. The message stated my firmware was out of date, call dish. So I did and they looked everything over and said the firmware needed updating. Three days old and...

    Local channel, bad pickup.

    Well that is a bummer. I guess Dish needs to move their "pickup" antenna closer to my NBC station.

    Local channel, bad pickup.

    I have been a "cord cutter" for about 4-5 years now. I was getting my local channels from NBC and CBS. Don't find much to look at on ABC, but it was there. Finances have changed in the last year or so and I was having problems with pickup of my local ota channels. NBC would break up and I...

    Hopper3 Manual

    That is nice. More stuff to read. Even though it is an older version with the touch pad, it still has things to read about.

    UHF Only, WHAT!

    I wish I would have purchased two when I got my remote. You and others will get a good giggle when I state mine is a Philips Pronto Pro TSU7000/37. IMHO it IS the best remote ever made. Because you set it up the exact way you want it to look. When it dies I think I will cry for a while.

    UHF Only, WHAT!

    crodrules, I just came back here to state I discovered just what you stated. I found one of my old removes. A 21.1 and it is switchable to IR and with Hopper 3 IR on many of the old remote commands are working. YIPPIE! Thanks for the answer.

    UHF Only, WHAT!

    I just discovered that Dish really wanted to pimp anyone that wants to use their universal remote with the Hopper 3. The Dish remote only sends out UHF and not infrared. So that makes it impossible to teach your universal remote. What a bummer.....

    DVR Shows That Are Not There or......

    I may start to agree with you. When 12 feet from my router I attempt playback of a recorded program and spend more time watching it buffer the show than watch the show. It does appear to work if you go to the guide to set a recording. That will be useful whenever I don't get home in time for...

    Hopper3 Manual

    I got an update on my installation and it was done on Sunday the 9th. I did receive the Hopper 3 and the voice remote. The website listed above (manualslib.com) does not agree with my virus program. As soon as I attempt to go there, I get a big red screen and a big warning to notify Microsoft...

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    The Dish Scape is interesting. The one I really thought was great was years ago. Dish Earth. With a camera on the satellite. I have some great pictures of the Sun on the other side of the Earth and the "ring of fire" showing on screen.

    DVR Shows That Are Not There or......

    I was not sure so I just checked. My recording were there along with 8 other folders with many recording in each folder. Now last night when I checked, only mine were there. I guess I will wait and see just what happens. Thanks for the info.

    DVR Shows That Are Not There or......

    Just received my Hopper 3 and only recorded a few shows to learn the 100+ things you can do with the Hopper. I also have the Dish Anywhere on my Android phone. I went to the phone and the DVR screen. What a shock to find several recordings that I never recorded. Some were from many months...

    Hopper3 Manual

    Well how about that. I guess it will be "on the job training" after the install in late August. Thanks for an answer.
