So, the flex pack for me is the least interesting thing they could do. It does not offer the customization of channel line-up I'd likely use any more or less than me having to over pay for Top 250 just to get what I do want to see. One example is Animal Planet. I sorta get why they stick it...

Why yes they are, anything 2 years old in the electronics world is ancient tech. Try a wally against that 211, huge difference in the tech. ;)

You don't have to be a d-bag to a fellow Tampa native who is simply trying to put his experience out there. I'm not switching to D* either, I've been there before as well. I am a former E* employee so I have certain insights as well. I'm very aware that you fanbois like to rassle about the...

As already mentioned, what exactly do you have on the roof? Inside the coach? Some stuff can be cross compatible.

So, I didn't read through all of this thread, but I had heard about the subscriber loss. I thought I'd add my cancellation experience from the other day, since it was baffling to this thread in case it has any relevancy. Pardon me in advance if it does not. Maybe a DIRT team member will have...

From a direct PM with ZachS, and as I mentioned in the other thread where the CSR I spoke to on the phone yesterday said they absolutely can add the Wally to a Hopper account, it just can not be leased: You must get past the level 1 script reading CSRs. FWIW I've been dealing with DN for 20...

Incorrect, my Wally is activated on my Hopper account. The issue is you can not lease the Wally on a Hopper account, you have to purchase it and have it added as a owned receiver.

The 211's are in fact being End Of Lifed (EOL'd), they will no longer be made, and you will no longer be able to buy new ones. I never said they were obsolete.

I just called and spoke to a senior account rep. She said that she shows that the Wally is the replacement for the 211 receivers, they are being EOL'd, and that she can add them to an account all day long. She also revealed there is an internal promo conflict in the system that is kicking an...

It seems DN has changed their marketing material on the Wally. On the site, it no longer has the check mark for "Compatible with Tailgater", I wonder why that has changed? It frankly makes no sense that they brought this receiver to market and aimed it squarely at the RV industry as a 211...

See my various posts in this thread: New Wally Receiver to Launch March 17th I have done it, there's no reason they can not do it. I never did bother contacting DIRT again to deal with it, maybe it is time someone rattles their chains to get this confusion dealt with. On edit: Something has...

Shorting has absolutely nothing to do with the improper cable gauge burning out your injector. If the cable you use rejects the power you are sending through it because it is not of suitable gauge and puts too much electrical resistance in the line, especially for mobile applications where the...

After spending another day interacting with the Wally in our RV, I can now confirm it works just fine with the Winegard Pathway X1 ODU we have roof mounted on it's primary port. I have not tried it as a slave yet on the second port. I can not get my 211K to work on the secondary port either...

It's warm, but I wouldn't call it excessive or hot. It does have keyhole slots on one side of the bottom. Cool! I'll certainly give it a try then. :bigok

We do have the DVR option enabled on the 211K. That's a good question. I could check it by hooking up the EHD to it this weekend and see what it does. If it doesn't seem to be activated, I'll ask them and see what they say. I suspect it's a per receiver activation fee though. I'll also ask...

Success! The Wally arrived via UPS on Tuesday. I didn't have time to futz with it until today. I initially hooked it up to my western arc 1000.2 DPP. It went through it's initial set-up stuff. Got to activation screen, jumped in live chat just simply told the agent I want to add a receiver...

I guess I'll find out, won't I? :) It should be able to be activated on the account. The account already is a Hopper account with the 211k on it. This is merely another receiver with a new UI and is not much different than any other 211 out there. There's no MOCA, no networking, so no...

Hah! I had just received a brand new Stag Parkway catalog the other day, and I didn't have a chance to look through it until just now. Check out that price lol ($54.89)! Sorry for the grainy image, my scanner didn't like it much for some reason.

I know they can work fine and I'm not arguing for a case that they don't, but in general you don't see many of them. I don't have a Trav'ler and it's still not really the norm in the RV industry due to it's cost/value proposition. There are many choices in how an RV based system can be set-up...

Huh, yeah I've never seen that. I saw a different variant of that though, but it was waaaaaay back when the original Hopper had just come out. When you played a show off the DVR, and for instance you wanted to immediately skip the first minute(s) of the recording because there was prior show...

Because if you read my posts, I already have a Hopper and Joey system in our home. Hopper/Joey systems are hardly portable and do not work well in most RV environments, and our rooftop satellite dish will not support it. It will however support up to any 2 receivers that claim to work with the...

Yes, I contacted them and had an email exchange with Mark (the owner) specifically asking for clarity around that line in the product description. I described what I wanted to do and our current set-up. He said it will work fine being added to our current account, but didn't offer clarity...

I followed the button sequence, I assume it worked because I got the prompt to download, etc. It did the restarts, went to a screen that said something like, current software version is S614 Downloading guide data with a percentage status. When that was done it went to the usual sleep screen...

Is the Carbon download supposed to still work? I just tried it last night and again this morning and it doesn't appear to be giving it to me.

I guess it was typical launch day follies at DN. I spoke to 4 different people yesterday evening, and got 4 different astoundingly stupid response problems. I have a short fuse, and can not tolerate dumb for long. So I tend to recycle or escalate agents pretty quickly. :censored First I was...
