    I love Dish but can no longer justify it.

    Well after 17 years I am leaving. I made my first post here Mar 5,2005 and got Dish Mar 27, 2005. I will say without question Dish has the best DVR system of any provider. The Hopper 3 / Joey system is awesome and I love it but I can no longer justify what it costs. I have been paying 122 a...

    PC Video on TV. Hopper Feature?

    I was listening to a video on YouTube on my PC the other night. I noticed this button that said play on TV. I clicked it out of curiosity and it brought up a list of all the TVs connected to my Hopper/Joeys. I clicked Livingroom and next thing you know my video is playing on the living room TV...

    Snuck in a downgrade on the family and nobody noticed.

    I got to looking at my bill and after much thought decided to downgrade and just go with the flex pack and with the sports pack. I did it over a month ago and nobody has said anything.

    Chat is unbelievably useless

    4:37 PM DISH, Hi, I'm the DISH virtual agent. I can help you with many things. If I can't, I'll connect you with someone who can. How can I help you? You, I need a new remote. The buttons on mine require you to push really hard. I have replaced the batteries and that did not...

The DVR is the worst most of the time it twill not even list what is in the H3DVR if it does it will rarely play a show. Netflix is always still...

    Resume recording in process

    Has there been an update that changed this? You used to be able to resume a recording in process then a year or more ago a software update broke this. It now seems to work again.

    How to get a Genie2 HS17

    Are the Genie 2s nationwide yet? If I were to get direct what would I need to do to insure I got one. Claim I need 4k, wireless, or just ask? I currently have a hopper 3 with 16 tuners and I am not going back to 5 and fooling with conflicts 7 should work though.

    On Demand, Processing your request.........

    I switched from Spectrum 60 meg cable to ATT Uverse 24 meg to save about $35 a month. Now On Demand on my Hopper 3 is no longer working. I select a title and it just goes to processing your request and it never downloads. What does work: A laptop plugged into the Ethernet cable that is plugged...

    How many people work in Software department at Dish?

    I am just curious because it seems to take an absurdly long time for the simplest of problems to get fixed, things are added I can not imagine anyone wanting while things people want never seem to get added, and there seems to be little to no quality control. An example of quality control being...

    U481 on Joey4K, What is the change?

    Home Media is still a thumbnail in the upper right corner and Netflix still does not work. So what did it change. I see none.

    Tried Dish app on Fire Stick

    I bought an Amazon Fire Stick to get Netflix on my second TV since apparently that is never coming to the 4k joey. I was thinking with the addition of the dish app on the Fire Stick for a one time $39.99 fee I could get rid of the $7.00 a month joey and have Netflix. While technically this is...

    Default Joey Channel

    What dictates what channel a joey starts on. Every night when I turn on my tv to go to bed it always comes up on trutv channel 242 and an episode of Impractical Jokers. I never watch this channel nor does my wife in fact I do not even have it in my favorites list. I always leave it on something...

    How to order simple Non-DVR service

    I looked on the Direct sight and the only way I saw to order service was a bunch of all included packages with dvrs and 4 tvs. My Dad died recently and I am trying to help my step mother trim some fat on bills. Dad had been paying $116 a month for non-dvr service on 3 tvs. All she wants is...

    H3 progress bar question

    I took this picture at 8:21. Explain this progress bar: This is clearly a 1 hour show airing 7-8 and the timer is not set for an extra 30 minutes. 1) What is 8:14? It is not the current time or the time it would be at in the show. I do not see what 8:14 has to do with anything. 2) What is...

    Is Carbon interface not just a reskinning of the same software

    I am somewhat surprised at all the bugs reported in the new hopper. Is the H3 not the same hopper that we have had for years with a faster processor, more tuners and a new GUI (Graphical User Interface). How do you break software putting a new GUI on it. While I am not a programmer a new user...

    Super Joey to be discontinued?

    With the SJ costing $10 and the regular or 4K joey costing $7 a month and DVR service $15 a month on any hopper why would anyone pay $25 a month for a HWS and SJ to get 5 tuners when for $22 a month you can have a H3 with a regular or 4k joey and get 16 tuners? As far as that goes even if it...

    Why does Dish seem to have more Provider Disputes?

    I Have been with Cable, Direct, and Dish. A far as price goes Cable seems higher but Dish and Direct are neck and neck for me. I think my bill changed one dollar when I came back to dish last year and I can not remember which way. So with dish and directs prices almost the same why is it Dish...
