    Replacing VIP211 with same or Hopper

    Thanks boba, i am confused at the description of the hoppers? One CS rep called it Hopper with sling vs Hopper 3, another called it Hopper with joey's vs Hopper 3, the $15.00/mo DVR fee is correct.

    Bonten Media Group......DISPUTE OVER

    They are generic, both exactly the same. Change from one channel to the other and it is the same video showing. A woman explaining how DISH has handled the local channels from day 1 and how the broadcasters are trying to rip them off.

    dish network beta household research program

    I also received the invite and reluctantly signed up. I had no problem mapping my main tv (which is still inactive after 4 days). I am having a bit of trouble mapping the other tv's in other rooms, they don't have the "Dish Panel" option when going to the "service menu" on channel 100.

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    I have never ever given any thought at switching to direct :( I have been satisfied with dish for 13 + years (or however long it has been since you could first buy a system and install is yourself?) Looks like I won't loose my local Fox, but who knows. I do however find it very frustrating...

    New software - The new program guide colors suck!!!

    I agree with the previous posters that it should be user defined. That should be a simple software fix? But knowing Dish if it ever happened it will come soon..........................hope I'm still alive when it happens:rant:

    Dish response to me being disappointed that they chose to take Fuse off the air

    Agreed :up I didnt' even watch Fuse because it was in SD, I only watch HD. So the only reason I responded to the request to keep it on was because someone posted about it and asked others to go to the Fuse website and submit the request to keep it on. Of course, I knew Dish would not do it...

    Dish response to me being disappointed that they chose to take Fuse off the air

    There was a thread about Dish taking Fuse off the air and adding Palladia(well, I already had it but they must have added it to another package?) The thread had a link to the Fuse website where you could send a request to keep Fuse on Dish Network. Here is the Dish response I received in an...

    211 with external hard drive

    I have a vip 211 with an EHD attached also. It works great, the only thing I really would like is the ability to record more than 1 program at a time. I know I can do this with an antenna hooked up but have not felt the desire to spend the extra money for this. Mainly because many of the...
