    DVR getting more useless (less accurate)?

    Anyone else noticing that the DVR is becoming less effective? Not sure if Dish or the guide provider or someone else is to blame, but I regularly have shows that are airing new episodes, but the timer doesn't pick them up. Shows include most shows on Smithsonian Channel, Battlebots (on...

    H3 U540 Recordings disappearing

    Noticed that 5 recordings over the last week have disappeared. Did a hard reboot (power) and 1 more disappeared. Anyone else seeing this? Figured the HDD is probably dying, I've had this H3 for at least a few years now. Decided to do chat to hopefully have a less stressful interaction... yeah...

    Dish mount for OTA

    I'm trying to figure out where I got this mount but can't remember as it has been too long. Basically, it's a plate that attaches to an existing Dish mount, and then the curved pole. The antenna is a CM3010HD, I can't remember if that came with it or if the kit was separate (I think it was)...

    New Equip - Wally

    I'm looking at signing my parents up for Dish so they can go tell Spectrum where to stick their insane pricing. Currently playing around with the packages, either AT120+ or AT200 looks the most likely. We may consider doing Flex + Locals, Heartland, and Outdoor too, if that comes out better...

    HopperGo question

    THinking of picking up a GO for long airplane trips. I realize I can transfer to my phone, but I'd rather watch on my laptop for the bigger screen. The dish site indicates that it works with the Dish App AND Dishanywhere.com and the guide shows Dishanywhere.com working. However, I've read...

    HWS vs H3

    Like most people, I got carbon pushed to my HWS this week, and like many, I've grown to hate it quickly. So far my two biggest issues are 1) recordings being split into multiple fragments, and 2) recordings showing black screen when trying to play back. This is the core function of a DVR, that...

    Dish Anywhere streaming performance

    Is anyone else as frustrated as me with the streaming quality/stability of Dish anywhere? I've got a 150/20 connection where the Hopper is, so that should be more than enough. Many other streaming platforms today work much better, especially over slower or variable connections such as hotels...

    Dish Anywhere Transfers - SD Option Missing

    Not sure what's going on here... on my Android Phone (LG G4), I have the option under Settings/Transfers to use external storage. On my Android Tablet (Dell Venue 8), the option is missing. The tablet sees the SD card just fine. Both are updated to the latest version available in the play...

    Attn: DIRT - Need account help

    If whoever is online now would ping me, I'd appreciate it. I don't know where to find the list of online users since the upgrade a while back. I'll give you my account info via PM. Here's what I need: My local cable co has made me a bundled offer that is too good to pass up. I have internet...

    DishAnywhere + Linux?

    Anyone here use the current web based DishAnywhere player on a Linux system? I found a few posts from 2013 that said it wasnt supported, but others said it worked anyway. I'm considering going back to Linux this weekend and this is the only program remaining that is a MUST have.

    Dishanywhere app - locked device not authorized

    Please excuse abbreviations... Posting via mobile. I left for a trip last week and transferred two movies to my android tablet while connected on my home network obviously. The next day on the plane I went to watch them and it says locked on them. So when I got to the hotel, I connected again...

    DishAnywhere mobile app totally useless lately?

    Anyone else having problems lately? I know it hasn't been the greatest app overall, but I generally found it pretty reliable. In the last month or so, it has been near impossible to connect to my HWS. The app tells me that it is not connected to the internet which is incorrect. My HWS is...

    DishAnywhere app for other platforms?

    I got the email today from Sling that they have a Windows 8 app for Win8 tablets now. They've also had apps for Roku, WDLive, etc for a while too. So, when will Dish catch up? I'm almost ready to go back to a standalone Slingbox because I've had my eye on a Win8 tablet for a while, but I...

    Signal Levels - What to expect

    Ever since I had my HWS installed, it seems like I have more rain cutout. They did replace my dish/LNB combo when installing it as it was suspected at one point that the LNB was bad (which it later wasn't). I had two dishes, 1 at 110/119 and another at 129, and had aligned them as perfectly as...

    How to update DishAnywhere with new Rcvr ID

    Got a new HWS today, and the DishAnywhere website (and likely app as well) are still trying to find my old box. How do I update it on the website? Haven't found a place to do so yet.

    H2K to HWS

    Considering doing the upgrade from H2K to HWS. Just want to confirm - is there anything else I am missing besides these changes? + Faster processor/more memory + Internal sling adapter (vs external) + Tablet transfers (ipad now, Android TBD) + wifi (doesnt matter to me) Is there...

    Hopper OTA - Must reboot every 2-3 days to avoid severe pixelation?

    Is anyone else seeing this? I can reboot my Hopper and have near perfect OTA for the first day or two. Then, after that it will start pixelating and freezing on OTA channels almost nonstop. Signal strength is always 80+ on my worst channels and 100 on most. After I reboot it, I am back to...

    List of future recordings

    I haven't seen this anywhere in a review. On the 722, if you hit th DVR button 3 times, you get a list of recordings to be completed. Does the hopper do the same?

    Which tuner does Sling use on Hopper?

    I'm trying to decide if I am keeping the Slingbox 350, or the Dish Sling adapter. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. The major disadvantage I am seeing with the Dish adapter is on my 722, it obviously uses the TV2 side. This creates a problem if TV2 is recording (it is my...

    HDCP on Dish (for upcoming Slingbox 350/500 models)

    What channels on Dish are HDCP restricted? I see mentions for HBO, but are there any others? Reason for asking is the new Slingbox 350 and 500 models that are due out any day. The 500 will support HDMI but only for non-HDCP content. To me, this makes me want to get the 350 and use analog...

    Best price for Sling Adapter?

    Is $49.99 currently the best price for a Sling Adapter - or is Dish cutting deals for any of their premium customers? I currently have an older Sling (AV) and as most of you know, it doesn't work with the newer mobile apps. Therefore, I need to upgrade to use it on my tablet. I have a...

    A few questions about "Moving" - that I haven't been able to answer via search. 1) Verify that I can get the spotbeam required for my new market (DONE) 2) I understand the process as: Chat with agent online, state that I need to change my SERVICE address to xxxx, and that my...

    Question for DIRT - adding 2nd reciever

    Question for DIRT (or anyone else that knows, actually) Right now, I have 1x 722 on the everything package. I want to get a 2nd for my Slingbox to dedicate to it, but I don't want to enter a new contract with Hopper right around the corner (I will definitely be upgrading to that). I'm...

    Best Dish setup for 110/119/129

    When my system was originally installed, it was put in with 1 dish 1000 receiving all 3 sat's on the same dish - a dual dish plus LNB for 110/119, and a single dish pro lnbfor 129. Years back, when the 129 signal sucked, I split the 129 off to a single dish 500 for better signal. Now in the...

    Anyone else having problems with new timers recording ALL episodes? (722)

    Anyone else having problems with timers that are set to record new episodes? Mine is now recording all episodes. I've gone and changed a few from NEW to ALL and back to NEW to see if it made a difference, and no go. Also did a check switch to force new EPG download, that didn't help either...
