    March Madness?

    Does anyone know whether SiriusXM broadcasts all the live NCAA Tournament games for March Madness? I'm going to be doing a lot of driving during the first few rounds of the tournament and I'm debating whether it would be worth reactivating my radio before my trip. Sent from my Pixel 6 using...

    Mystery package from Dish

    I received a notification from UPS today that I have a package from Dish Network scheduled for delivery tomorrow. My service has been on Pause for nearly 9 months and I recently extended it another 9 months. Any guesses on what they are shipping to me???

    Can I go on Dish Pause again?

    I am currently on a 9 month Dish Pause that is set to expire somewhere around July. I am out of contract, so I would just be going month-to-month. After my service restarts in July, could I go right back on Dish Pause the next month, or are there limitations to how often it can be used?

    PPV & Dish Pause

    After several months of wavering, I finally put my Dish account on pause earlier this week. Does anyone know if it is possible to order and watch PPV events while the account is on hold? Has anyone ever tried it? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

    Joey hitching / requires Hopper reboot

    Increasingly over the past few months, the Joey 2.0 in my bedroom becomes unwatchable with the program freezing, hitching, and/or going in slow motion. Changing channels doesn't help, and rebooting the Joey doesn't fix it either. The only thing I have found that makes it work again is to reboot...

    EPIX picture quality

    I recently resubscribed to EPIX and the HD picture looks nothing short of awful on my TV's. It is very soft and washed out. By comparison, the EPIX streaming app looks significantly better. Has anyone else noticed the same thing about EPIX on Dish? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

    40.0 remote not learning commands from Sony TV remote

    I just got a new Sony X800H series TV. My Dish 40.0 remote works fine to perform basic TV operations using the TV code, but it doesn't seem to be able to learn any additional commands from the Sony remote. I go into teaching mode and follow the usual process, and the lights flash as...

    A few questions about Dish Pause

    I am considering pausing my service while I try a few alternatives to Dish and have a few questions about Dish Pause. 1) Will I still be able to watch my existing recordings? 2) If the answer to #1 is yes, does that also include recordings on an External Hard Drive? I had read somewhere before...

    Dish Anywhere streaming quality

    I am streaming live TV to my Windows 10 PC over my network using Dish Anywhere in Chrome and it looks terrible. I can't seem to find any settings to adjust the video quality. By comparison, if I connect to my HDHomeRun, it looks perfectly clear. What am I missing?

    Need help with RAID setup (Antec NexStar)

    I posted a few days ago about backing up recordings. Based on the feedback received in that thread, I decided that a RAID 1 external drive setup would be the best way to ensure my recordings are safe. I read through some other threads and found that people have had good experiences with Antec...

    Backing up recordings

    I should probably know this, but is there any reliable method for backing up recordings to keep them in the event of a hard drive failure? I realize we have the ability to transfer recordings to an external drive, but that is still a single point of failure. If the external drive fails, the...

    Any free 4k HDR content?

    Has anyone else has issues with Dish Anywhere lately? I have tried it a few times over the past couple weeks and the video is sporadically pixelating for no apparent reason. My connection is strong and everything worked fine in the past. Is there anything I can do to try to resolve it it is this...

    Why is Hopper 3 DLNA so awful?

    Maybe it is just me and something to do with my setup, but I have never had so many issues with any DLNA client before. My Smart TV's all work perfectly connecting to my MediaMonkey server. Apps on my Android phone work perfectly. Even previous versions of the Hopper worked fine. The Hopper...

    Hopper 3 DLNA issues

    Has anyone else had problems with DLNA media streaming to the Hopper 3 lately? It used to work (mostly) fine, but for the past few months I can't seem to get podcast episodes to stream properly from my media server. I can navigate the server and see all my content, but when I play a podcast it...

    Guide getting stuck on one page

    Several times over the past few weeks, my Hopper 3 guide has become stuck on one page and it stays on that page even if I tune to a channel outside that range. At least a few of those times, my guide was in the 400 range with my RSN when this occurred. No matter what I do, the guide won't move...

    H3 Home Media folders won't open?

    I have had a few issues with Home Media since switching to the Hopper 3, specifically when attempting to listen to podcast mp3's, although I don't know whether the issues are specific to podcasts. I am using MediaMonkey as a media server and don't have any issues with other DLNA clients. The...

    What causes OTA channels to appear on the incorrect channel number?

    Can anyone explain why some of the channels on my old TV's OTA tuner appear on the incorrect channel number? For example, WFLD Chicago should be on channel 32.1, but my old TV shows it on 31.1 instead. All my other OTA devices in the house have it correctly on 32.1. There are several other...

    Hopper3 Resume/Start Over annoyance

    I have noticed that my new Hopper 3 system doesn't properly indicate whether a DVR recording has been watched yet. Most of my recordings look like they have already been viewed by me or give the option to "Resume" even though I never started them in the first place. I wouldn't expect to have...

    OTA Signal Meter - Red vs Green?

    Does anyone know the significance of the signal meter color when scanning OTA channels? I noticed that I have some channels that are in the 70's and green, but others are 100 and red. Is the red meter indicating a problem or is it just an odd choice of colors in the new UI?

    The Walking Dead season premiere - Timer not detecting?

    I don't know if this is a Hopper 3 issue specifically, but my Walking Dead timer doesn't seem to be detecting the season premiere Sunday night. It doesn't even appear as a skipped episode. I have tried re-creating the timer several times and it still isn't working. Does anyone have a Walking...

    Hopper 3 - 1080p through OPPO (Darbee) or 4K direct to TV?

    I can't decide how I should connect my Hopper 3 when it arrives on Tuesday. I currently have my Hopper with Sling connected to an OPPO BDP-103D player, which applies its Darbee video processing and then I have HDMI out from there, through a wall, and into my Panasonic 50" 4K TV. Unfortunately...
