    Does Dish Hopper 3 Supports HDR10 ?

    Just bought a Vizio P55. So far, it's great. Need to get it calibrated, etc., but the hardware is just spectacular. 126 zones of local dimming and HDR (Dolby vision, with HDR10 coming), so it's very versatile. The tablet remote is pretty cool. Being able to mess with picture settings...

    League Pass

    Try this... Works for me almost every time. For some reason LP will default to an SD feed if you get there via channel up/down. Once you find the game, try keying in the channel number with the remote. For me that almost always makes the switch to the HD version of the game. Weird, but it...

    Lightning! and Sling for sale

    They did in fact treat me well. And the service tech was great. A far cry from my recent experience, so a nice surprise. Sorry about not posting this in Classifieds. I looked at the bottom of the forum list for the classifieds section and didn't see it. Never thought to look up top.

    Lightning! and Sling for sale

    So, I got hit by lightning last Wednesday. Both Hoppers and both Joeys were fried. It was a major fight with Dish to get a technician out to the house. They just wanted to do a receiver swap, but I wasn't sure what was fried, so I wanted a diagnosis. After asking for a supervisor and...

    MyFilestore.com - Your Free File Hosting ?

    Happened to me again just now. Seems like it's on the first visit of the day. Scott, this doesn't happen on any other site. I think the problem is on your end.

    MyFilestore.com - Your Free File Hosting ?

    Has happened to me on two separate occasions on two separate machines. Looks like a name resolution hijack or something.

    Joey keeps losing link to Hopper

    CubsWin - check the coax line between the node and the Joey. Make sure there are no splitters, diplexers or other such devices between the two. I had the same problem and discovered that the installer had left diplexers from the previous install in the lines. When those came out, it worked...

    Login Not Rememberd

    Same here, but it's weird. I get the home page as logged in most of the time, but then at random times, the forums "lose" my login and I get the ridiculously ad-filled version.

    Dish "Trick Play" app (Updated with Pics)

    A built in Joey maybe? D* is doing that with their Genie system.

    Install Issues - Would like to hear from DIRT

    Thought it would only be fair to let everyone know that the DIRT team came through for me. I am a satisfied customer again. That's the way customer service should be. Thanks, Jason!

    Install Issues - Would like to hear from DIRT

    So I posted about this in the Hopper forum, but I am increasingly frustrated and would like the opportunity to discuss this with someone on the DIRT team. It doesn't appear any of them are online right now or I would PM. Anyway, my Hopper install was about 30 days ago. The technician did...

    Joey unable to Link or see other Hopper

    I had similar behavior and discovered that the installer had left a diplexer in the line. Bad signal=weird results.

    So whos NOT getting a Hopper due to lack of OTA?

    So with storm season over, I went ahead and took the plunge for a 2H/2J system knowing the OTA tuner would be out at least by next spring (it will, won't it Scott?). So, of course today, trying to watch the OU/Texas game, a line of freak fall thunderstorms came through and here I was with no...

    Well that was fun...

    Yeah this guy told me that there would never be an OTA tuner for the Hopper because there was no slot for it. I educated him about the USB part coming.
  19. lgball

    Well that was fun...

    So, I had my 2H2J setup installed day before yesterday. i had to leave, so I didn't fully test everything before the installer left. he said it was all working. Trouble is, I wasn't able to get one Joey to talk to the Hopper I wanted to link it to and its MOCA connection was intermittant at...

    OTA Update?

    I understand all the ways I can get OTA to the TV tuner, but I'm not always home. While my Harmony is great, it still bumfuzzles my wife on occasion and I can't and won't rely on her (or my kids) ability (or willingness) to manually change to the correct input in a storm. I use the internet as...

    OTA Update?

    I can't move to Hopper/Joey until the OTA unit is ready and it has nothing to do with sub-channels or sports. Living in Oklahoma, having access to TV in bad weather can literally be the difference between life and death. When the storms come rolling in and the satellite goes dead because of...

    "Showstopper" of a bug on 922

    So last night me and the family are watching a program on the 922 that we recorded several nights ago. A thunderstorm came through and up pops the "Acquiring Satellite Signal" box. OK, I thought, it's nice to be notified of the loss of signal even though I am watching a recorded show, so I...

    SlingPlayer 2.0 (compatable) -link

    Anyone else think this is Dish bowing to Big Content (tm)? By forcing us to login through the website, it prevents us from letting relatives, friends, etc. use our sling to place shift - inconvenience=copyright protection. Larry

    Caller ID Missing

    The 922 is working very well, but I'm losing caller ID for no apparent reason. It worked for a while then just quit. All the phones in the house get caller ID, but the 922 isn't seeing the calls. Anyone else with this problem? Larry

    What does this mean? Does this mean we will (finally) have the promised EHD capability on our 211s? I hope so. Larry
