    Hopper 3 remote

    Anyone else not a fan of the new remote? I upgraded from a hopper 2 to a hopper 3 and love everything about it except the remote. I loved the old remote with the colored buttons, could easily find my sports, turn on closed captioning for watching in bed with the volume down, navigate between...

    Hopper favorite list keeps vanishing

    I have a favorite list set up on the hopper but every day when I turn it back on the guide list has defaulted to "my channels" I have to press the red button and move it back to my favorite list. Been doing this almost since day 1. Any idea on why or what I can do to keep my favorite as the...

    Explain Blockbuster Streaming to Me

    OK, I signed up for the Blockbuster movie pass and can see it on my 722, but the only movies are the Starz & other ones that were available before. I go to the blockbustermoviepass.com site and there are no movies listed as streaming. I can order DVDs for mail delivery though. Am I doing...

    Bad Pixellation Sound of Music WJLA in DC

    Can't even watch it. Getting 65 signal strength on the bird which should be good enough, have to watch the SD channel. This sucks! Don't even know who to call to complain about it! %^$#@:mad::rant::rant::rant:

    FM over HD Antenna and indoor vs outdoor

    Can I use a UHF HD antenna to pickup FM stations too? I seem to remember something from my distant past about an FM antenna being more like a VHF antenna than a UHF one. Also I checked TVFool and the FCC site and I'm at the edge of the limits for a lot of channels (Zip 20653), but really...

    Now that Direct has PBS HD what are the odds Dish will follow?

    Saw on the homepage that D* has PBS locals in HD for some markets now. Does anybody think E* will follow? The lack of PBS HD has been a major sticking point with me and made me think about an antenna.

    ABC Family PQ on Sound of Music

    WTF I get better picture PQ on a 1958 B&W Magnavox with rabbit ears! Not helping convince my wife the HD was a good investment. This movie deserves full HD, not the crap they're putting out on this channel.

    DC locals down

    Anyone having trouble with the DC HD locals? I can get the SD but not the HD. Can get all the other HD channels. Pulling a 48 signal strength on the 61.5, check switch & everything else appears OK.

    How do I get the 722 Rebate?

    I upgraded from a 522 to a 722 and am eligible for the rebate. I called last week and they gave me a website where I could print out the rebate form and now I can't remember it. Does anybody know how to get this form? Thanks.

    Why no PBS in HD?

    Curious as to why there are no (or very little) PBS locals available on Dish in HD. Here in DC they aren't available and have checked around a few old addresses (St. Louis, Seattle, Chicago) and no PBS HD is available. Anyone know why?

    HDMI cable with 722 install

    Hey just wishing here, but will they use a HDMI cable when they come to install my 722 this weekend or coax. I don't want to buy the HDMI until I get the final placing of the set worked out, but I want the best possible picture until the wife can decide if she wants the set on the wall or on...

    501 Losing Signal LNB Drift

    My 501 is losing signal mainly at night. My 522 is fine though. I've got 2 dishes (110/119 & 61.5) when I check system info I'm getting signals over 110 on all birds. When I run the system information screen it says "LNB drift" I had LNB drift on the 110/119 birds in the range of 5...

    522 and 61.5 problem

    Got a 522 last week and now everytime I turn it on it brings up the diagnostics screen and says it can't find 61.5 sat, the 110 & 119 are O.K. When I go to pint dish, I get a 110 + signal on the 61.5, the 61.5 channels are there and if I run a check switch, it finds the 61.5 just fine...
