    Info needed for Hopper3 and 3 wired Joey Installs

    Leaving Spectrum TV service, but keeping Spectrum Internet. We had Dish prior to Spectrum (late 2016 or early 2017) and had essentially the same setup...a Hopper3 and three wired Joeys. I don't remember how Dish was connected, but I need to find out if my cabling arrangement will handle the...

    Moving back to Dish, but have a few questions first

    I'm not here to bash Direct, but I think it's time to make the change. As I see it, I'll need an H3 and 3 4K Joeys with AT250 package. However, before I switch, I hope someone can please answer a few questions for me: 1. Since changing to a Genie 2, the lag is terrible when changing channels...

    I think I need to change back from HS17 to HR54...Suggestions??

    Several months ago I "upgraded" to an HS17 from an HR54 and 2 HR24s. I'm pretty much OK with having two less tuners and less timers, but the delays when changing channels and when skipping forward are awful (we time-shift most programming). So this is something that I really didn't expect and...

    Please clarify the tuner information for Genie 2

    I have a free upgrade due and have been trying to decide how to handle things. I need 4K available to my main TV at least...maybe the bedroom also. My equipment includes an HR54 (in living room) with a C41-100 in the master bedroom and two HR24s. Previously 4K was provided using an RVU in the...

    HD availability on Extra Innings & Center Ice with Dish??

    I've been with DirecTV for many years and didn't think I'd ever be going back to Dish, but the ongoing problem list with the Genie 2 has me looking at Dish and the Hopper 3. However, I am concerned about the Extra Innings and Center Ice programming. Is it all in HD like Direct or are some games...

    2 HDDVRs in 1 Room...Can remote address be changed?

    Picture this...2 HDDVRs sitting side by side and connected to a common HDTV (for those times when there are 3 or 4 things to watch or record at the same time). Is there a way to change the address of one box and remote (like you can with satellite TV boxes)? I wouldn't want to change the...

    Some Questions About D*

    It's looking like MLB Extra Innings is about a done deal for D*. :( So, I guess I'll be subscribing to D* for the first time. My problem is...I know little about the hardware requirements for D*, so I don't quite know what to ask for when I setup the install. With baseball season starting...

    Is The Remote For SA-8300 Addressable?

    I'd like to add another Scientific-Atlanta 8300 DVR to my living room. Does anyone know if there is a way to change the remote address (like with Dishnet) so I could control each box with a different remote?

    HDTV Resolution Question

    After reading the many posts about HD Lite, I found myself agreeing. Then while reading yesterdays BestBuy ad, I noticed that most of the HDTVs that they sell are advertised with resolution in the area of 1280 X 720 (some were marginally higher). Can someone please enlighten me...What (if...

    No HD-PPV on 921

    Does anyone have an idea why I don't get HD-PPV (9467) on my 921? I thought I'd take advantage of the free ppv coupon and catch one in HD, or maybe I'd even record it and watch it at my leisure...but NOOOOO! It's not in the guide. It's listed in the guide of my 811, so it must still be out...

    721 vs 501 PQ Question

    I'm giving serious thought to the 721. How does the PQ compare to the 501? Better I hope. I've noticed the PQ on the 501 (especially lil locals) doesn't seem to be as good as the older non-DVR receivers and always chalked it up to taking everything off the hard drive. So if there is an...
