    DISH Smartbox

    Anyone familiar with the Smartbox? I had an installer come onsite yesterday to our property to look at upgrading our TV service in our 60 room hotel and large casino floor to HD.

    Remote Question

    I have an 20.0 IR remote from my old 722k that still works. The INPUT button works, allowing me to select my HDMI ports. The new 40.0 UHF remote doesn't allow me to use the INPUT button. When I hit the TV button, it flashes like 4 times really fast. Volume/mute and Power for the TV work just...

    Got Hopperized!

    1 Hopper and 2 Joeys. DISH tech took about 3hrs. The Hopper had to be hard reset after it stayed on step 3 of 6 for a hour. After the reset, it moved along and took another 20 minutes to finish. So far loving the speed and UHF remotes. Haven't had much time to figure everything out...

    My current setup has the coax going around the outside of my house, which looks horrible. I ran new RG6 Double Shield (Swept to 3GHz is printed on cable) throughout my house this last week. Runs are no more than 50ft to my utility room. When I order the Hopper/2 Joeys next month, I need the...

    Just installed the Sling Adapter

    HOLY CRAP. This thing is sweet, why did I wait so long?? Best $30 spent ever. I only have 896Kbps upload on my DSL line, so watching SD quality is the best on my 4G Android phone. But it does the job. I can't wait to watch my sports games on the phone when out and about. Does any other...
