    Recent quality problems with local Twin Cities PBS tpt channel 2

    Is anyone else in the greater Twin Cities area (mid- and southern Minnesota/western Wisconsin) seeing new problems with tpt channel 2 (KTCA)? (I get all my local stations through DISH, not via antenna.) All programming on tpt 2 is pausing, dropping out, going black, coming back, etc., to the...

    Change in fast forward (related to AutoHop?)

    I love my Hopper 3 on DISH Network, but I'll admit that I don't follow every change in every software upgrade. So I've been surprised recently with a change I've noticed. I've never used AutoHop, but just repeatedly pressed the 30-second fast forward button quickly to skip through commercials in...

    DISHAnywhere.com lags showing DVR recordings

    I'm using DISHAnywhere.com in the latest Google Chrome Web browser on a Windows 10 computer. The list of available DVR recordings is sometimes up-to-date, but more often lags by hours, if not a few days. Clearly, this is a problem of just getting DISH Anywhere to update it cache, its list of...

    Audio cutouts during Designated Survivor on ABC

    Tonight, on my Hopper 3, I tuned to ABC to watch Designated Survivor. Unlike on other channels I watched tonight, I noticed intermittent audio cutouts/dropouts early in the program, but increasing greatly toward the end. By the end, as much as 1/3 of the audio was being dropped. The video was...

    U332 brings new HDCP messages

    Since the U332 upgrade, my external hard drive is working better, but there's a new annoyance. About once or twice a day now, when I try to watch a program recorded from a cable channel in the last few days, the program fails to start, displaying a message about how my setup is not HDCP...

    Hopper 3 "lost" Tuesday Oct 25

    My Hopper 3 failed to record anything on Tuesday Oct 25. Before the first recording time, the 7 programs I wanted, with long-standing Timers, all showed up on the Schedule tab under the Today heading. But when I checked after midnight, nothing had been recorded. And all 7 programs were still...

    Hopper 3: upgrade this week causing spontaneous power/video losses

    Was there a new Hopper 3 upgrade, maybe Saturday or Sunday (Oct 8/9)? Starting Sunday, every few minutes (but not on a regular schedule), my Hopper 3 either powers off (or so it appears), or does something to the HDMI TV connection such that the TV says there is no signal in that input so the TV...

    Hopper 3 Guide question: truncated program description

    On the Hopper 3, when I press the DVR button, then press the Skip Forward button, I am on the Schedule tab, where I see a list of my upcoming (and past) scheduled timer. I use the up and down buttons (and Channel Up and Down for Page Up and Down) to select any program, and its details display on...

    Need help with Sling part of new Hopper 3

    I just traded in my old ViP 622 receiver today for a new Hopper 3 with Sling. I'm a pretty self-sufficient technophile, but this Sling business has me stumped. And I'm not finding any documentation anywhere on how to use the Sling capability of a Hopper; everything on Slingbox.com seems specific...

    Weirdest problem ever: sound and on-screen menus, but no channel video

    OK, this is by far the weirdest problem I've had in my 10 years of DISH use: Right now, on all channels on my ViP622, I get sound but not the video picture for the channel. And it's not that my television is broken, because if I ask for the on-screen program guide or menus or lists of my...

    Good customer support experience

    I see so many horror stories here about customer support problems, I thought I'd relate a different experience. I called Dish tonight to ask for three operations on my simple account. I got an American CSR named Crystal; she noted my list of three items, and led me through them one by one...

    Olympics soccer and basketball channels: when?

    Anyone know when the Olympic channels dedicated to soccer (396?) and basketball (395?) will start to broadcast? The soccer starts Wednesday August 6th, two days before the opening ceremonies. Anyone have any other information about these channels? I'm assuming Dish will carry them, because...
