Is there any news whether the Hopper 3 will have improved performance streaming content to remote devices? I'm using a first-generation Hopper with external Sling module and I find that performance varies pretty widely when accessing content remotely from my smartphone. Sometimes it's fine and...

We had a power failure in my neighborhood today and came home to find the Hopper's hard drive fried (my understanding of a 311 code). Tried four reboots in a row (twice with red button, twice by pulling the power code for 15 seconds). No dice. I get this error each time and when I clear it I...

I upgraded to a Hopper/Joey shortly after they hit the market and overall love the setup. But I sure wish I could get reliable performance out of the iOS Dish Remote app (and DishOnline on the PC as well). Sometimes it works great, sometimes it partially works, and sometimes it doesn't work at...

There are many things I really like about the Dish Remote apps for iPhones and iPads, but I still have a number of annoying issues. It got worse when I swapped my 722 with Sling Adapter for a Hopper and Joey with the same adapter. I figure much of this will be addressed in software updates but...

I was really hoping Dish would announce these two things at CES: 1. Enabling remote programming of the ViPs with a web browser. I believe this was being beta tested but there's no word on if or when they will release it to the masses. 2. Filling in missing HD locals in markets that have...

We've had Dish for several years now and I keep hoping they will finally get around to adding our local FOX station to the list of HD channels. But nothing, and no word on when, if ever, we will get this. The Big Game is coming up soon and I'm going to have to set up an antenna to get it in...

Just came across these articles this morning giving technical information on why Seagate FreeAgent drives do not work right with Linux (and hence the 622/722 DVRs, since they are based on Linux). There is also a workaround, though I do not know Linux so I can't understand these commands...

I've been a Dish customer for several years with one ViP 622 downstairs and outupt to a second SDTV in the bedroom. Now we are setting up a projection home theater in a bonus room, and I want a new DVR for that (I need high def for my projector - of course!). I think the best solution will...

I'm planning to build a theater room with an HD projector and 100" screen. Our ViP 622 is downstairs connected to a 50" DLP. When I get this theater built (sometime towards the end of this year), I want to split the HD feed for TV1 and send a branch upstairs to the theater room, so we can...

Anyone know if remote scheduling is in the works for Dish? What I'm talking about is where you can log onto the internet from anywhere, pull up the guide, and schedule recordings that would be downloaded to your 622 DVR. I notice the DVR has an ethernet port that could work for this purpose.

As of yesterday I am a new customer of Dish network. I'm about to pick up the phone and cancel our DirecTV account. When they try to convince me to change my mind, I will laugh my arse off. D* has a LOT of work to do to catch up to Dish, and I'm not going to sit around and wait while they...

I'm planning to switch from D* to E*, dump our D* SD Tivo, get the 622 for two TV's, hook up via HDMI to my Samsung 50" DLP, and get the Silver HD package with locals. Since my wife loves our Tivo but is willing to switch, I want to make sure E* has resolved most of the reported issues with the...

Looking to get Dish with all the HD bells and whistles. Should I deal directly with an installer instead of Dish, and does anyone have a recommendation on the best one in my area? thanks

I'm currently a DirecTV customer and am thinking of switching to Dish. I need your encouragement, advice, and most importantly, tips for convincing the wife! Here's our story... We have a 50" DLP that is begging for good HD content! We have been on D* for several years, using a standard...

I'm moving this weekend and seriously debated whether we should stick with D* or switch to Comcast. I did a lot of research. It was a much more difficult decision than I thought it would be. After much deliberation, I decided to stick it out with D* for a while longer, even though that means...
