    Dish Hopper 4 with much larger Hard drive???

    When will Dish offer a much larger hard drive, like 10 or 20 TB? It only takes me about a month to fill a new Hopper HD. Yes I know about external HDs and have many. Last night my Hopper 3 hit 100% full and started acting weird. When I hit the DVR button it went to black screen for 15-20...

    Questions About Android TV amd Fire TV And 129

    I have been absent from this site for quite a while. I just noticed 129 is gone. Will the old 2 LNB dishes come back. Will they be an automatic "upgrade"? I currently have a Hisense Google TV (Android) Which I am not very happy with. Is there any reason I should be interested in the Hopper +? I...

    Cutting 1 Cord???

    After more than 20 years with Dish, I am considering cutting the cord. I live in a Mobile Home Park where the lease requires a monthly payment for Cox Cable TV. Dish just raised my fee again. It just might be the straw that broke the camels back. Does anyone here have any experience with the...

    Help with 40 remote

    We just got a new Hisense 65U6G 4K TV. My wife uses and likes her Dish 40.0 remote. I can pair the remote, so it will turn the TV on and off and adjust volume. It will also display input menu and scroll down the menu. But it doesn't select the input for the Dish Hopper 3. It just highlights it...

    Roku web browser?

    What is the cheapest easiest way to get a web browser on a Roku TV? I know that Roku doesn't support a web browser directly. I know I can use a Roku TV as a monitor for a computer. I am looking for a simple web stick to plug into my Roku TV. Does such an animal exist?

    Commitment Date?

    How do I find my commitment date in MyDish.com? Or do I have to call to get it. Having been with Dish since the turn of the century and my memory for dates being what it was, I don't know if I am in or out of contract. I still remember a few months ago holding my little baby boy in my arms. Then...

    Cox TV DVR?

    I know this is the wrong forum to post this, but it seems to be the only one with any activity. In the mobile park where I live I am required to pay for Cox TV bundled onto my rent. They are in the process of renegotiating the monthly fee, LOWER and improving the channel lineup. What are the...

    Is there a way to pair a Dish Remot..

    I just installed a Hunter Ceiling Fan with light controlled via a remote. I would like to be able to control it with my Dish remotes or my Roku remote or my Cox remote. I am too old to sort through all this remote clutter let alone remember the button layout on each in a dark room while...

    Bad HDMI Cable???

    I have a 55" TCL Roku TV connected to my H3 with a 15' HDMI cable. Every week or two when I turn on the TV I get an old fashion snowy screen. When I switch to my cable box everything is fine. If I unplug the HDMI cable from the TV and reconnect it everything is fine again. My wife is...

    When will all the Networks go to streaming only

    CBS has their all access the other nets have various ways to stream. At some point it will no longer be profitable for 210 DMAs to maintain OTA franchises. So my question, when will we see all of the networks go to streaming instead of or in competition with OTA?

    CEC and ARC???

    Well I decided to delve into the settings on my new Roku TV last night. After I set it up to use CEC and ARC to allow me to use the Roku remote to control the sound bar, which seemed like a great idea, it kept telling me there was no signal from my satellite connection. Couldn't get any picture...

    HDMI vs TOSLINK

    When connecting a sound bar to the H3, which will provide better audio, HDMI or TOSLINK? I know this could be posted in other forums here, but people actually read and respond to questions here. And most of the responders actually seem to know what they are talking about. Other forums seem...

    Why does LuciFer start at the end.

    I am finally getting around to watching all the LuciFer shows I saved. Several of them show only the last few minutes and stop , or continue with whatever show happened to follow. I suspect that something caused the schedule to shift by an hour and Dish didn't bother to pay attention. It is...

    Hopper 3 in an RV?

    On an RV forum I belong to someone asked what they needed in addition to the Traveler dish so they could share their sons Dish account. I already suggested that sharing an account might not be the best idea. However I am not current on the compatibility of the Traveler dish and the Hopper 3...

    Interesting observation

    I have an old cheap Changhong 50" 1080 P TV. When i watch from my H3 i have to adjust volume to 20 to hear and understand dialogue. When I watch from my Cox mini with voluset at 10, dialogue is louder and has less distortion. Why do I get seemingly superior sound from the cox mini than the H3...

    Sound problem

    My hearing is less than perfect, especially midrange where most dialogue happens. My 50" TV has rear facing speakers, which work pretty well when I stand behind the TV. Most of the time I prefer to be in front of the TV so I can actually see the screen. What is the best solution to improve my...
