    Hopper Question (probably dumb)

    We have two of the original, non-Sling Hoppers w/no Joeys. They are connected to the internet and work just fine (albeit a bit slow). They also have telephone lines connected for CallerID. These lines were a requirement for some billing reason years ago, plus I think you received a discount...

    Hopper Upgrade?

    Thanks for getting back to me! I have lots of timers and well over 1 TB of content on each Hopper. USB 2.0 will make this a long process! And I guess the timers will all have to be manually re-entered... Ouch! A bit much to be sure.

    Hopper Upgrade?

    We will probably be moving within the next 6 months and we want to keep our Dish - it's pricey but we still like Dish. We have two of the original, non-Sling Hoppers that we love but with the upcoming move, I have been thinking about upgrading to the latest model at that time. We have a lot of...

    NFL Network Dispute? -- Resolved

    Again, the whole thing has spun out of control. And that includes my beloved Redskins - "Captain Kirk" will end up getting a contract worth over $100M! He is a talented athlete and a very fine person - but $100M+ ??? Crazy! Just my 2 cents.

    Tribune Broadcasting Company Blacks Out DISH Customers in 33 Markets;

    I fully support Dish in this one! My bill is considerably more than I would like now and the never-ending huge carriage fee increases must stop. This thing has gotten 'way out of control! BTW, I did enjoy Manhattan on WGN but it only lasted 2 years, I finally tired of Salem, otherwise I...

    Hopper Content Sharing Problem (S605?)

    We have 2 of the original (no Sling) Hoppers (LR & BR) and we love them! We often like to watch content from the BR Hopper on the LR Hopper. This had worked well for some time. Recently we found that the internet connection from the BR => LR is very unstable and really unwatchable. The LR's...

    Hopper Magazine ?

    Becki: Thanks for getting back to me! I can't think of any others at this time. We really enjoy the Hopper magazine and the movies are our biggies. We have lived in Northern Virginia for years - the Redskins and the Nationals are out chief interests followed by DC United MLS, so our sports...

    Hopper Magazine ?

    Maybe I am missing something but I wonder why the EPIX movie channels are not included in the listings?

    Hopper magazine

    We really like the magazine - only gripe is that Epix is ignored - should be included.

    Yup, me too.

    Hopper S440

    I could understand if I were a Seahawks fan. Big Mike & son were fired, but they walked away with millions.

    Hopper S440

    I have 2 of the early Hoppers w/o Sling both now running S440. Both are unstable and at times I must turn the Hopper off via the remote, wait a few seconds and then turn it back on for the video to return. Both downloads were rough and I had to unplug each one and plug it back in for them to...

    Is Verizon Looking at a DISH Purchase?

    This is fun! What's Charlie up to? How about Mr. Son? What about T-Mobile? Don't forget about Latin America opportunities & Mr. Carlos Slim. It's going to be fun watching all of this shake out!

    Is Verizon Looking at a DISH Purchase?

    Everyone has heard of Charlie Ergen. Does the name, Masayoshi Son strike a familiar note? A union of DISH + S + TMUS could certainly give T & VZ some huge competition!

    Hopper Sound Issues

    The TV & Sound Bar are in my signature. No AV amps etc.

    Hopper Sound Issues

    We have two of the original (non-Sling) units with no Joeys and we just LOVE them! One problem - when we record movies either from PPV or from HBO/Cinemax/Showtime, etc. the volume is greatly reduced and drops off slowly as we watch the movie. The sound is almost completely gone by the...

    DISH still trying for wireless service

    The more spectrum Charlie owns, the less he has to lease from Sprint/Clearwire.

    Team Summit - Keynote Address - 2PM ET

    Scherrman: Great job and many thanks! I just read the thread and was reminded that Dish is still an innovator and old Charlie is a very smart man. Dish will continue to be a major player for some time to come. Again, Charlie is a very smart man. Yes, the Sprint/Clearwire play is the best...
