    What I've learned after 6 months without Dish.

    I had an unexpected job change, had to move across country to the new job, leaving my wife behind to try to sell the house. In the dead of winter. In a state with miserable winters. So, I've been in an apartment for the last 6 months and without Dish. This is the first time I've been without...

    AT&T TV

    I didn't see a thread on ATT TV's new launch. After looking at their offerings, I'm not really sure who their target audience is. Pricing is pretty much DirectV pricing (intro for a year, then a price around $135 a year for a midrange package) plus $120 fee for every extra box to connect TVs in...

    Dishanywhere: how to delete all of a recorded series?

    How can I delete all of a recorded series in Dishanywhere faster than deleting each individual episode? I.e., I have say 32 episodes of Gunsmoke recorded - how can I just delete the entire series rather than painfully deleting each episode? Thanks.

    Can't watch live TV via Dishanywhere with Firefox?

    I'm living away from home at the moment (new job in a new state, temp living in an apartment until we sell the house and buy a new one in the new location.) I want to watch TV from our Dish receiver (Hopper 3) while in this apartment. Cool, that's what Dishanywhere is made for. Hook my notebook...

    Multiple 1second or less sound dropouts on H3 DVR programs

    I am getting a lot of little one second sound dropouts, random, in a variety of recorded shows (Hopper 3 DVR.) Seems to be worse recently. Not every show, but pretty frequently these days. Tonight we were watching America's Got Talent, NBC, and at one point it was several of these sound dropouts...

    Will the new Court TV be carried on Dish?

    I see Court TV rising from the ashes - our local NBC station will carry it on a sub channel. However, I do not have good OTA reception; does Dish have any plans to carry this? I enjoy watching live court cases.

    DishAnywhere works fine on my phone, not on my PC

    Traveling and visiting family. Dishanywhere works fine on my, I can watch anything on the guide live, recordings, etc. When I go to Dishanywhere on my laptop, I can see my guide, DVR, etc, but when I pick a show and hit "watch" nothing happens at all. Any advice?

    Sioux City NBC/KTIV STILL blacked out.

    It's been about a month and no sign of us getting our NBC station back. I can kinda/sorta get the NBC station with an OTA antenna but the reception is variable enough we lost some shows we had set to record (and when we went to watch them, the channel had cut out during recording.) From what...

    A piece of data for those struggling with EHD disappearing on H3.

    For quite some time, at least a year, I've struggled with my EHD disappearing almost every morning from my Recordings screen. It would take at least one, and sometimes several, reboots to get it to reappear. It seemed to get really bad a few updates ago, going from an occasional disappearing act...

    Wireless Joey questions

    We've got a Hopper 3 and two 4K Joeys. One of the 4K Joeys is in our sunroom, which is out of commission in the winter. I chose the 4K Joeys due to performance; I likely will not have a 4K TV in the sunroom for at least another couple of years. Question: My wife asked about trading the 4K Joey...

    Tips to improve OTA reception with indoor antenna?

    Our local NBC and associated CW channels are blacked out (and have been for at least a couple of weeks now.) As a result, I finally hooked up the dual channel OTA adapter I've had since about when it first came out. The good news is that, if I put the antenna in the right spot (I have limited...

    I REALLY hate to say this out loud (EHD related)

    I know as soon as I say this something will change, but for some reason my EHD has not disappeared in the morning for about a week. That's unheard of for me; my EHD goes missing almost every morning, requiring multiple reboots to get back. I've posted about this elsewhere, I've tested multiple...

    Well, we just lost KTIV Channel 4/NBC from Sioux City, IA

    The warning banners only were up for a short time, but at 5:50 PM CDT our local news on the NBC affiliate, KTIV-4, was replaced by commercials by Dish telling viewers why the local affiliate is evil, and why changing to another provider won't work. We can't get a good over the air channel...

    Bill just went up $21, looking for best options

    Apparently my two year price lock deal just expired and my $121 bill just went up to $151. It appears I had the Top 250 package at 69.99, and it's now $87.99, I had a $5 autopay discount that no longer exists, had a $2 discount on locals ($10, now $12) and had a $5 DVR Hopper discount that's...

    Hopper 3 DVR issue

    Tonight we decide to watch an Elementary, we have 10 recorded so time to catch up. When I hit the Elementary icon, it goes to the Episodes tab, and then the progress bar just runs nonstop and it never does show me the recorded episodes. If I move to the Summary tab, it shows the latest episode...

    How to move frame by frame forward on Netflix on H3?

    I've got the 40 remote and watching Netflix on the Hopper 3. There's a sequence in a documentary that I'd like to walk through frame by frame but I cannot figure out what key to use to do this with. Anybody know the answer? (And no, watch Netflix on another device is not what I'm looking for, I...

    How do I test to see if all 16 of my tuners (H3) are functional?

    I've had cases where shows ended before they should have, when I know I only had a most 5 or 6 shows that overlapped. How do I test on my Hopper 3 and see if all 16 of my tuners are indeed working? When I go to Menu - Settings - Diagnostics - Dish, Tuner 1 is showing signal strength of 61 (we...

    Recordings ending prematurely? Hopper 3

    Hopper 3 - I've notice in the last couple of months or so a number of recordings ending prematurely. We have the default set to start on minute early, end 10 minutes late. We almost never have more than two or three shows recording at any one time. Yet, for example, we were watching Modern...

    Discounts for HBO?

    There are some shows coming on, on HBO, that we'd like to follow. There are rarely any movies of interest on HBO we haven't see elsewhere, so it's not really worth the full price. With Directv, I could always get a good discount on HBO for 3 months and then usually renew that deal. What's the...

    Disappearing EHD link to Netflix issue

    This seems really odd, but it's been repeatable. My EHD (and in another thread I've talked about how I've done everything from making sure there's no sleep mode running to trying a variety of EHDs and types of EHDs) disappears from my recordings list most mornings. Hopper 3, latest update, 2 4K...

    Is Dishanywhere down?

    I'm on the road, in a hotel, was watching TV on my computer via Dishanywhere. Suddenly it just stopped. I got out of the app, tried to go back to dishanywhere.com, and i can't get it to come up. Just me or is the site/app down?

    EHD Spinning Up Question

    I have the issue on my EHD (Hopper 3) where, when I first go to the EHD in my DVR list, and try to play a recording, I get the quick flash of the message "Spinning up" and then a black screen that doesn't go away. The only way I can get the program to play is to exit, then go back to the DVR...

    Clock on H3 a minute slow?

    I've noticed in the last week my clock on my Hopper 3 is about 1 minute slow. Comparing it to the time on my iPhone and my wife's iPhone and my computer (all reading the same time, H3 is a minute behind.) I assume the H3 gets it time from some source the same way the phones and computer do, and...

    U502 for H3 and EHDs

    Interestingly enough (need more data to make sure it is consistent) U502 seems to have solved the problem many of us have had with our EHDs, where the first time you try to play something you get the flash of the "spinning up" message, then a black screen, and you are required to exit, go back...

    40.0 Remote for Hopper 3, suddenly very erratic and non responsive

    In the last hour, my 40 remote for my Hopper 3 has become very non-responsive. Batteries are fresh, remote works fine with the audio receiver next to the H3. But if, for example, I press the DVR button, nothing happens. I have to press it several times before it "takes." Same for guide button...
