    No hopping in CBS locals

    Except for when you are watching the Eagles, Broncos or the Patriots. It's still quicker than watching a full game, but when you skip forward to skip the huddle, you just missed the next play. Skipping forward the 30 then immediately skipping back 10 is usually sufficient, but it's a fine...

    Multisport offer

    I went into chat last Thursday to see what I was eligible for. They offered it to me for half off for 6 months ($5.50), but since I was only on the 120, I needed to move up to 120+ for $5 more per month. Through some creative negotiating, I got them to offer me half off my premiums (HBO, SHO)...

    Upgrading from Hopper to HWS

    Darn. That was the only reason I had to upgrade to the HWS right now. I know it's faster, but that wasn't a huge issue for us. Now I still can't watch them without transferring them to the Hopper, which may render them unwatchable. First world catch-22.

    Upgrading from Hopper to HWS

    Thanks for the replies. I couldn't bear to lose half of my recordings, not to mention you would be reading about a homicide in the news if my wife found out that happened. Looks like I will just keep them on the hard drive for the time being. But that brings up the next question... can shows...

    Upgrading from Hopper to HWS

    Sorry if this has been asked before (my search results came up wanting), but when I transfer my recordings off of my original Hopper to an external hard drive, then back onto the HWS, will Autohop still apply to all of those recordings? Thanks everyone.

    Dish is getting FXX

    So is 120 basic supposed to be getting it or not? If we are, I need to start a chat session.

    Dish is getting FXX

    I'm on 120 here, and no FXX for me. Looks like I'll be watching The League on Netflix in a year.

    Dish is getting FXX

    But the real question is... what package will it be in? I'm only interested in The League, and probably won't watch this channel for anything else, so I'm not going to *RAGE* if it's not in 120+. There's always Netflix in a year. Besides, I don't need anything else to watch this fall... I'm...

    Channel list

    Anytime my Hopper 2000 catches the nightly update, it reverts to My Channels. If I'm up late watching and skip the update for a day, golden. The wife, a couple mornings ago: "Honey, how come some days we have more channels than other days?" I had to explain that we don't really have more...

    TruTV for 2 days

    I watched those games via the Internet feed, so I couldn't tell you if they looked the same, since I was getting nowhere near 1080p on my workstation graphics at the office. And if you notice, it's only the high angle camera. The other angles look fine. Sent from my MoPho using Tapatalk 2

    TruTV for 2 days

    On a similar note, does everyone's main camera feed from the Michigan game look like crap? All the other cameras look great, even commercials. The main high angle camera almost makes me want to watch another game. Sent from my MoPho using Tapatalk 2

    TruTV for 2 days

    Does anyone know if there would be an alternative for getting TruTV for the next two days? Normally, I wouldn't care about missing a few games of the NCAA tourney, but the Gophers on that channel on Friday night, and I have people coming over for the game... whom I invited before finding out the...

    Favorites not holding selected station

    I had the same issue when I got my Hopper as well. What I did (not sure if this is an actual solution, but it worked for me) was add both Fox SD and Fox HD to my custom guide. Originally, only Fox SD would show up, so I went back in, added Fox HD again, then after saving but before checking the...

    Timer chops off last minute of some shows

    No, actually. In PTAT, once the stream is edited and Autohop is accessible, each show will start and end as expected, no matter when they start or finish in real time. For example, Grey's Anatomy always ends 2-3 minutes late. When using the Save Series option in PTAT, you will get the entire...

    MPLS Locals in HD

    I went home last night and checked this out. The CW works fine now - I can add it to the guide, it shows up in all the other guides, yada yada yada. KTCI is still having issues with the HD not showing up in my custom guide. We don't watch it very often, so it's not a big deal, but it would be...

    DISH Price Increase 1/17/2013 (UPDATED!)

    Exactly. Netflix and Hulu have content deals with providers too, just like sat companies. If the providers notice a huge shift in viewership, they'll want more for the content, which gets passed down to the subscriber, and prices will rise. Content dispute? You drop programs, you'll lose...

    MPLS Locals in HD

    I just had a Hopper installed on Saturday, and while I was setting up my custom guide, I noticed that there were two new HD channels I could watch... The CW on 23, and KTCI on 17. However, I am not able to add them to my custom guide. They are selectable, but they don't show up when I go back to...

    starting and ending time of programs

    This is most certainly true, although it's not the 5 minute extreme. It is, almost always, 1:40 long for the show. Set your timer for a minute late, you'll miss something. Set it for 2 minutes, and it will cut off in the middle of next week's preview (which would most certainly send me to the...

    DVR recording list?

    I know this is a DISH forum, but I totally agree here. My Hopper is coming on Saturday, so we'll see how the transition from the 722 goes.

    Hopper Upgrades

    Currently have a 722k, but will be adding another HDTV. Wondering what initial costs would be associated with upgrading to a hopper and a joey. Thank you.

    Dish / Gannett Dispute Settled! No Channel Removals!

    Re: Gannett to stop broadcasting on Dish if ad-skipping feature not removed But in this case, they are giving them 4 measly days to negotiate. I was okay with the loss of AMC and the Big Ten (temporarily), but if I am out of one of my big 4 locals, that may be the tipping point. Sent from my...

    Hopper Upgrades

    Just noticed this thread (after already PMing MaryB about this)... but I would like to be contacted about upgrading to a Hopper (and eventually 1 Joey).
