    Official DISH Channel Request Thread

    I agree, FS2HD. SD looks like a YouTube video on a dialup connection.

    Enabling Prime Time Anytime -- does anyone use it?

    PTAT is so customizable if you watch just one network show it is worth having it on for auto-hop alone. Just pick the days and the channels you want and set it to keep them for the minimum number of days while setting a series recording for the shows you want. It won't take up much HDD space at...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I'm sure a week of giving away the farm to upset subs on E*'s end and pressure from TWD advertisers on AMC's made a Sunday deal happen. Plus, AMC isn't doing a free online broadcast of S3E2 of TWD and Monday morning wouldn't have been pretty at either company.

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    AXS is normally on 362 (it's on both 362 and 131 now) so will just be available there.

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I would encourage people to keep calling Dish and voicing their displeasure over the AMC mess. I received a $10 credit per month for 12 months and a $45 one-time credit to purchase a season pass for TWD from Amazon. Do this even if you aren't bothered by it because next it will be something...

    Loyalty Department

    I chatted online with a rep today to voice my irritation with the loss of BTN and was told to contact the Loyalty Department. What exactly is this department going to do for me when I call?

    Network connectivity

    Thanks for the response. I've reset everything, tried multiple routers, everything I could think of and still no luck. I'm chalking it up to a bad Hopper and will be getting a new one.

    Network connectivity

    I upgraded to the Hopper in May and have been pleased with it ever since. Until last Friday, everything was great with internet connectivity, but now I get nothing. Every other device on my home network has no problems, but the Hopper will not connect. I run everything through a Belkin N600...

    Auto-Hop seems not quite as responsive lately?

    I have noticed the same thing. I figured it had something to do with the lawsuits against it.

    722 vs 922 vs Hopper & Joey

    Yes, but that was an even worse option!

    722 vs 922 vs Hopper & Joey

    I upgraded from a 722 to a Hopper/Joey and I can say it is well worth $11 a month. On the 722, TV2 is the default DVR tuner, meaning any time something is recording, TV2 can only watch what is being recorded or something on the DVR. This was a HUGE issue in our household! The Hopper/Joey will...

    Pending State of Illinois (Services Tax) Satellite & Cable TV Tax

    I emailed my Illinois State Rep and State Senator when this first popped up, and today I actually got a direct email from my Rep (Keith Sommer) stating: "Chris- I do not support this and will vote "NO" if brought before the House! Keith"

    Shows disappearing from hopper hard drive

    I didn't realize it did that. Cool feature, but sounds like it's glitchy, much like a lot of the features. I love Auto-Hop, but for some reason, every show recorded off of Fox doesn't do it. ABC, CBS, and NBC have no problems, but Fox never shows up with the red kangaroo. I thought maybe it...

    Shows disappearing from hopper hard drive

    I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure all "save series" does is set a timer for the program, not what it implies it does. Are you saying if you do this AND skip the PTAT tuner it will save to your partition?

    Hopper on Xbox 360

    I like being able to watch ESPN3 over XBox, but if I want to watch ESPN's programming, I'll flip it on to Dish. Everything I have watched on XBox is downrezed for streaming purposes.

    Why are the rental movies so expensive?

    E-Books now cost at least as much as print copies, mainly because they weren't making money selling them for less. People who bought them for half-price will also buy them for full-price. I'm sure the reason E* charges what they do for PPV/VOD is for similar reasons--people that will but them...

    Shows disappearing from hopper hard drive

    I believe you have to manually save all shows you want to keep past the 8-day window. I haven't seen a way to automatically save certain shows.

    Auto Hop Explained

    Dish wants people to use PTAT because there are a lot of folks who stick with cable because they can watch network programming with On Demand 48 hours after airing without having to record those programs. PTAT offers this "passive recording" instantly without having to wait 2 days. If you don't...

    Auto Hop Explained

    You have to remember, the majority of subs aren't as well-versed in this technology as folks in here. Plus, if you aren't watching network programming, you are in a small minority. If you do not watch a lot of network programming, I'd recommend sticking with the 722 as the Hopper will give you...

    If Dish drops AMC, will you drop dish??

    Actually, USA is by far the most-watched cable network, followed by MTV and then a virtual tie between ESPN and Fox News.
