The theaters are desperate for content, so maybe some of this can make its way to the cineplex to run alongside comics movies, vampires, zombies, godflix and gorefests.

I was surprised when they allowed DVR at all on a non-HDD rx.

I've never heard of anyone wanting to switch from Macs to Macrosoft

Maybe a ph. line as well, like in The Twilight Zone...?

Not exactly, as that would imply a unitary rx/HDD. To further the point, does connecting EHD to a 222 make for dual HD recording? Regardless, yes, there are definite constraints as far as using a 211- adding the EHD makes it DVR-capable, but only a single channel may be tuned at any time, either...

Wasn't the purpose of EHDs to add holding capacity, back-up & preserve recordings on a long scale such that if the rx goes kaput you don't lose them? Have there been any known system-initiated deletions of recordings from rx/dvr units (such as hopper and ViP)? Other than for the HD being filled up?

You could have a granite dish, perpetually aimed between 110 and 119.

Can you still order HBO / Cinemax and Showtime / The Movie Channel?

Sports TV is under enough pressure now as it is without subsidizing a gambling industry.

DiSH likely wants to keep an eye on them (and your tv use) at all times

I meant between hopper and joeys

You still need a wired connection back to hopper, right? Saturn went out of business, evidently along with its marketing model. I remember when states were bidding against each other to get saturn for a big economic and jobs boost. Anything still happening at the saturn plant? Illinois lost out...

So they're entirely linear services mirroring cable?

But they might catch you watching PBS...

Not exactly a captive audience...

Aren't they raking in enough from betting to pay for tv rights?

But you keep hearing from people here who don't want to do that

That's why I don't connect DiSH to internet. Of course everyone can see where it's going, which is all to streaming, which is its own can of worms. So the "telescreens" that were everywhere in 1984 playing propaganda whilst spying on those they could see have arrived just a few decades late

What a bunch of shysters. Sock the charges to you, back off if you complain whilst figuring most will just pay. They (hoppers) are for a single screen. Add a screen, add a box. Until maybe you have half a dozen

Going from 8 ch. view to 6 is helpful? I presume you can change the # of lines presented in the guide like you can with ViP?

When DiSH first made available a replacement remote, it was $50. Or $49.99, they worked everything in oily 99s. And this was in 1996.

It is the age of the squeaky wheel. DiSH long ago abandoned any pretense of treating all comers (and customers) with due respect. They shifted to the general ethos of the milking parlor where they want to get the cows through as quickly as possible, as thoroughly drained as possible. If a cow...

I would not like a pickup delay when skipping forward. My 722 has none.

$15 "whole-house DVR" added fee on hoppers? When they aren't even whole house, like they should have designed?

Gimme the hopper as it was announced, with same-night auto-DVR'ed viewing and autohop, I might consider. Otherwise I consider the thing as simply an exercise in tit-for-tat with the broadcast nets. Ah, yes, those "vertical consoles" everyone had to have in the 90s...how much of our landfills...
