    I'm with Dish for at least another year

    My bill was $97/month for a H3 and 2 Joeys with the AT120+. My discounts expired and the bill went to $149. I called and they offered me $10 off of that. I really only need Dish for live sports. We can get our shows we watch elsewhere. But my internet isn't reliable enough to go full time...

    Any plans to bring Dish Anywhere to Apple TV?

    The Dish Anywhere app is great, but I prefer the Apple TV streaming device to the Fire Stick. It would be great to have that option.

    Olympics in 4K?

    Any idea if Dish will be broadcasting the Olympics in 4K? NBCU will be distributing it in 4K to providers, but, as the article linked states, "it will be up to those partners to decide whether to broadcast the coverage in 4K HDR or step down to a lower quality." It seems like Dish has uplinked...

    Dish Anywhere bandwidth

    I'm sure this has been answered but I'm finding different answers on the internet. If I stream a show from my Hopper on my home network, is the stream going out to the internet and then back, or does it stay on my local network? I just hooked up a new TV with a Fire TV and the live and DVR...

    I need to install a new pole

    The bottom of my pole for my dish is completely rusted out. The dish has become wobbly. I called dish and they can't get anybody here for 2 weeks and I'm completely without signal. I've got a spare pole. If I take the dish off the existing pole and mount it on the new pole, it should be a matter...

    Problem transferring some recordings to external drive

    I'm having my Hopper 3 installed tomorrow so last night I transferred all my recordings to an external drive. Everything went fine except I noticed about 8 shows did not transfer. i went to start them again and they don't even show up on the transfer screen. All of them are PTAT recordings from...

    Dish Injecting Ads

    I know I had read about this on Satelliteguys in the past but I can't find it now. I've noticed at least 3 times in the last few days, Dish injecting ads over the top of what was actually there on my recordings. Once was during the show. We thought it was a weird place for a commercial but we...

    Favorites and Parental Controls on Hopper and Joey

    I've got 1 Hopper and 1 Joey. I set up Favorites and parental controls on the Hopper assuming they would transfer over to the Joey as well. They did not. Is there a way to sync these or do they need to be set up separately on the Joey?

    Sling on home network

    I want to use my hopper with sling to stream to my iphone or ipad on my home network. Will it stay within my network or go out to the Internet and come back? I have a bandwidth cap on my home Internet so I don't want to use it if its going to use up my bandwidth. Posted Using The New...

    Joey audio question

    I'm having a Hopper and a Joey installed next week. The TV that will have the Joey is older and does not have HDMI, only DVI and composite audio. Will the composite audio out on the Joey still work with an HDMI cable plugged in? I know some devices disable other outputs when HDMI is plugged...

    Just did a chat with Dish CSR...

    I did an online chat with a CSR to see about getting a hopper and joey. At first he told me $7.00 for the Joey and $4.00 for whole home fee. I told him that I wasn't sure if it was worth $11 extra per month to me. He came back a minute later and said he took another look and he was wrong, it...

    Disable VOD downloads?

    I have a 6 GB per month limit on my internet so I don't want my 622 to download VOD movies over the internet but I do want to hook my 622 up to the internet so I can access the DVR from anywhere. Is there anyway to disable VOD downloads?

    Twice E* has changed my package without approval

    Tuesday when I got home I had no HD channels. I called E* and found out that my HD package had been removed. I did not do this. They had no explanation as to how it happened. This is the second time in the last three months that my package has been changed without my approval. It seems like...

    622 HDMI broken. Do I need DHPP to replace?

    We had a horrible lightning storm last night. Nothing else got hit and it may be a coincidence but when I got home last night the HDMI out on my 622 wasn't working. I tested the cable and the input on the tv so I know it is the 622. Component works fine, tv2 works fine. Do I need to call and...

    625 OTA?

    I just noticed on the E* website that is says that the 625 can "View over the air digital broadcast." Does the 625 have a ota digital tuner? If so, can you record OTA as well? My parents just got a 625 a couple months back and have one of the $40 OTA boxes as well. If they could eliminate...

    Moved 61.5 to 129 for locals and lost RSNs

    When Gainesville HD LILs were turned on this week I swung my 61.5 dish over to 129. I noticed this morning that I'm no longer getting my RSNs in HD, SunSports and FSFlorida. These must have been on 61.5 only. Why would E* add our locals to 129 and keep RSNs on 61.5? Do they expect me to get...

    TurboHD West Feeds?

    I am thinking about switching to TurboHD Silver from whatever they call the normal 200 package with HD now. Right now I get West coast versions of some channels like Disney. I know that with the TurboHD packages you get the SD version as well. I was wondering if you also get the West versions...

    Gainesville HD locals?

    Any news on Gainesville locals that were supposed to launch last week? Also, when they do launch how easy would it be for me to swing my 61.5 over to 129?

    Wrong guide info on OTA

    E* launched WNBW NBC in Gainesville, FL last week. I was hoping this would mean that the guide info for the OTA HD channel would be coming soon. It hasn't been added yet but I noticed something weird last night. The guide info for NBC was on my local CW OTA channel 20.2. What's up with that?

    WNBW 7792 live?

    I just read in a local thread on another forum that as of this morning WNBW NBC9 is live for Gainesville, FL on E*. I'm not at home to check this. Is there anybody who can confirm this? It has not been on any uplink reports so I don't see how it could be live. Anybody?

    White flashes with Samsung HTIB

    I've got a Samsung HT-TX72 surround sound with 5 disk dvd changer. I set it to 1080i output and it started giving white flashes of the whole screen every few seconds. It was really annoying. I upgraded to the latest firmware and it fixed if for a couple days. Then it started doing it again...

    Can't do 24p

    I just bought an Insignia NS-2BRDVD and have a Samsung 1080p tv. I know my tv can do 24p because I've done it on my 622. I set the BD player to 1080p and turned film mode on, which is what it said to do for 24p but I can't get it to display 24p. When I hit info on my tv it says 1920x1080 60hz...

    Blu-Ray pass through home theater?

    I am planning on getting a Blu-Ray player before Christmas. I have a Samsung 1080p DLP tv and a Samsung 5 disc dvd player/5.1 surround sound. The surround sound has 1 optical audio in which I am using now to hook up my Dish 622. I am trying to figure out how I could hook the Blu-Ray player as...

    Anyone else still not have "I Am Legend?"

    I was planning to order I Am Legend while it was 2.99 but it looks like I won't be able to. I check my 501 channels every day and I've got about a dozen SD movies but nothing in HD. This is on a 622.
