    Wally undercounter mount?

    Decided to replace my old 211k with a Wally (used in a motorhome and food truck). I like the smaller footprint, plus I'm just so accustomed to the Hopper-style interface at home. The small size of the Wally looks like it would be ideal to mount under a counter top (unlike the 211k). Has...

    Best EHD for HWS?

    Thanks for all the advice. Got the WD Essentials 2TB drive today. Plugged in, reformatted, and currently waiting 20 hours to transfer! Should be an easy deal!

    Best EHD for HWS?

    Thanks! So any WD 2TB drive with USB will work? I'm concerned with some reviews complaining about the WD proprietary software for encryption, backup, etc. Don't need it and don't want to interfere with the Hopper. Can assume these will basically be plug and play? The Hopper will format it as...

    Best EHD for HWS?

    I've searched the forums but can't find what I'm looking for; any advice is appreciated! So, what IS the best/easiest/most reliable external hard drive to use with a Hopper with Sling? DISH is sending me a shiny new HWS to replace one of my original Hoppers, and I want to transfer recorded...

    211k - is there a noticeable lag between HDMI and composite outputs?

    Thanks for the replies. I'll do it. The digital to analog converter is around $100, so even a small delay would be more tolerable!

    211k - is there a noticeable lag between HDMI and composite outputs?

    I hope this is an easy question. I use a 211k for tailgating at football games. No problem running HDMI between the 211k and the TV, but I just purchased a stand-alone amplified Pyle speaker for sound (internal TV speakers can't quite cut it in the parking lot!). The Pyle only has RCA...

    Pac-12 Network

    Ona bright note, I noticed a women's soccer game live in HD today. Not that I'm a big fan of the minor sports, but it bodes well more than just football and basktball will be in HD.

    Pac-12 Network

    So can any of you experts give me the quick 411 on why Dish would chose to run a full time SD channel and a part time HD channel? I know they do that for Root Sports too. My first guess is that it is a bandwidth issue? Pac-12 only broadcasts in HD, so the SD signal is just a downgraded HD...

    Pac-12 Network

    I'm hoping that the good people as DISH are still figuring this out. The program information leads me to believe that there is supposed to be HD available. No information would be like the RSNs. Lets just hope since this is only a few hours old that they're still working on it. I'd love to...

    You might want to check out some simple mounts. They can elevate and keep the antenna stable, especially in crowded football parking lots. I use the VuQube MB400 RV ladder mounting bracket from King Controls. It's a plate that the rubber feet of the antenna fit into, secured by a locking...

    Pac-12 Network

    Hopper users: It took me awhile to figure this out: The alternate Pac-12 games, listed as being on channels 445 and 446, are actually stacked in the collapsible Sports Channels, channels 412-01 to 412-38. Eastern WA @ Washington State: Channel 412-34 Sac St @ Colorado: Channel 412-33 Duke @...

    Pac-12 Network

    Dish has an exclusive sponsorship deal with the Pac-12, not exclusive carriage rights. So Dish is "the official multi-channel video programming distributor" of the Pac-12 for signage at stadiums and arenas.

    Pac-12 Network

    Have "all channels" enabled on the Hopper. Channel guide goes from 438-05 right to 455. Nothing in between.

    Pac-12 Network

    So channels 445 and 446 don't show up in the guide. Any one care to offer a quick tutorial on how these channels will be implemented?

    I'll be waiting for it to come online also. The big question is..will it be in HD? I'll let you all know. No sleep til Brooklyn for me tonight.

    Victory! http://blog.pac-12.com/dish-networks-and-pac-12-reach-deal/ Plenty of high-fives around here with the news that Pac-12 Networks will be available nationally via DISH Network. Our agreement with DISH ensures Pac-12 fans across the country – no matter where they live – have an option...

    Pac-12 Network

    Again, bringing in revenue for a one time broadcast is not what they are trying to do - I'm just the messenger here, btw - they have a long-term plan/strategy/hope/prayer that over time, they can generate demand to have full time nationwide access. They really think they can do it - and maybe...

    Pac-12 Network

    Probably true, but it puts the ball back in the Cox's court. The Pac-12 isn't trying to get into the pay per view business. They are trying to grow the brand. It also helps their cause for the "there's no demand" issue. Sounds like there is demand right now. Raleigh NC won't get to see...

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    Pac-12 Networks is 100% owned by the Pac-12. No other group (ESPN, FOX, etc.) has any control or ownership interest. They're starting from scratch, without the benefits (and drawbacks) of partnerships.

    Ugh. Two key words tell me this me this won't happen in the near future - "coming soon". That's dish speak for 6-12 months. I'm not canceling my Comvast install this afternoon just yet.

    9/5/2012 4:32pm - Uplink Activity Report - 99 changes

    So - Pac12 uplinked for testing. Very exciting as this is a step in the right direction. Not being familiar with the uplink and testing procedure, should I read too much into the fact that it is only in SD at this point?

    Pac-12 Network

    I'm not exactly sure of the details, but I don't think the 6 regional networks are intended to be carried on every carrier in the country. The Pac-12 made a big deal out of the fact they alone retained the digital rights to everything. Meaning, they want subscribers of the Pac-12 National...
