    What sets fuboTV apart from DirecTV?

    Late getting in on this one, but I prefer Fubo simply because when I have reason to deal with support (rarely), I do not have to deal with the substandard service I got used to when I was with DTV. Maybe they have fixed that problem now, it's been a couple of years.

    DirecTV Stream / Local Channels / Cellular based ISP

    I asked Directv Stream this very question via chat, and they assured me that the locals were selected for you based on your Zip Code. I use both Starlink, (who gives me a New York public IP) and USCellular fixed cellular, (who gives me a Wisconsin IP). I'm in Eastern Maine. My Smart TV has no...

    Hopper 3 reset timer?

    My Hopper 3 resets at random times almost daily. Changing the timer value seems to change the time of day that the reset occurs, but it doesn't follow the setting. For instance, I had the timer set for 0100 hrs and the reset was happening between 0600 and 1000. So I change the timer to 0400, now...

    Hopper3 CC problem

    Is there a way to get back control of the CC on the Hopper3? I used to be able to have the background of the caption box at 50% opacity, Now it is 100% all the time . SW ver U544.

    New to EA

    I recently returned to Dish and have a Hopper 3 and a new dish pointed at the eastern arc. Last time I had Dish, everyone was on 119/110 and the signal strengths were all in the high 90s. Very few rain fades. Now on EA, rain fades seem much more frequent and signal strengths seem low. Ranging...

    should I consider buying a Winegard 76cm?

    Won't the Winegard dish cost more than a service call?

    On demand issues/HR54/700

    Interested in this. I can stream Netflix and Amazon ok, but Directv on-demand always takes overnight to get on the DVR. Never been able to watch without putting it on the DVR. Please post the solution, when you get it. Thanks, Eric

    Storm Fade - Alaska Dish

    Yeah, I missed that the first two times I read through the thread. Switching to SD during weather is your next best approach. That's what I do.

    DECA or Wireless CCK or Both?

    Hi Guys, I've looked at this off and on for quite some time and I am still not sure what I need. I have an HR21 with hardwire ethernet to my router and it works fine. Now I've added an HR24 in another room and want whole home DVR and Internet to stay working on HR21. I do have SWM and a...

    Try it plugged directly in to the wall outlet. No strip or surge protection. Certainly nothing to lose.

    Need RG-6

    I've never bought quad. I personally don't care for the copper clad steel center conductor. I have seen the steel rust completely off with time.

    StarBand Echo*9 121 & Bjirdog Ultra

    If I understand Birdog, the Ultra uses a different data set. If you line it up using the Dishnet 121 vertical transponder, you should be close enough to finish peaking with the Skymanage screen. Good Luck
