    Dish 50.0 (Voice remote)

    I picked one up when the technician was here on a service call but it doesn't work with my Joey. I've got a Hopper 3 (works fine) and my account says I have a Joey 2. I got new Joeys earlier this year when I got the Hopper 3. Is there anything I can do? I really want it for the Joey, since that...

    Hopper 3 remote

    Anyone else not a fan of the new remote? I upgraded from a hopper 2 to a hopper 3 and love everything about it except the remote. I loved the old remote with the colored buttons, could easily find my sports, turn on closed captioning for watching in bed with the volume down, navigate between...

    DISH and Sinclair extend contract talks (Update 8/25 Stations Removed)

    I'm sorry but this brings to light a thing that really gets me mad.These Sinclair channels were all originally network OTA channels when they were founded. Do you know how much money they got in "retransmission rights" for sending their signal OTA? That's right - Zero!. Along comes cable &...

    Netflix app can't connect from Hopper with Sling.

    Did you ever get this resolved? I just got a new HWS today and have the same issue. Running a wired connection and when I click on the netflix app the screen goes dark for 5 seconds then back to regular programming. Upset about this, because this was one of the reasons I used to convince the Mrs...

    Hopper favorite list keeps vanishing

    I have a favorite list set up on the hopper but every day when I turn it back on the guide list has defaulted to "my channels" I have to press the red button and move it back to my favorite list. Been doing this almost since day 1. Any idea on why or what I can do to keep my favorite as the...

    Error trying to view recording from mydishonline

    I was wondering about this myself. I have the problem with 2 tablets and phone. Get the message that I have to connect my hopper to the internet. But it is connected, dishonline can see it to schedule recordings! I cannot watch anything with the app. Do I need to buy a sling adapter to do...

    When will PBS be in HD?

    Moving would get me Baltimore locals & I'd lose DC locals, kindof like the DC local news on the networks. Again, local cable has both... As far as getting PBS over antenna, I thought of this 18 months ago and basically learned it was "iffy at best"...

    When will PBS be in HD?

    It just gets me mad that they can add Oprah and LOGO in HD (plus many others) but not PBS. I know they are national, but in DC we have what...4 HD channels, and 2 or 3 others on the spotbeam. I don't know how much bandwidth they eat up. I imagine Baltimore is also on our spotbeam which screws...

    When will PBS be in HD?

    I'm 50 miles out of DC so an antenna is out of the question. The issue I have is that Direct TV and the local cable company offer PBS in HD and Dish does not. I figure that I pay for a service to provide me TV and HD where it is available, I don't care that Dish cannot "workout an agreement...

    HD Channel Requests

    I agree, PBS would be really nice (I've been waiting on that for years!) and Disney would be nice for the kids. NASA not so much anymore since the shuttle program is dead.:mad:

    Any new channel rumors?

    PBS HD nationwide would be nice, I know I sound like a broken record. I do love the movies such as TBS in HD, and I'm one of the minority that thinks we don't need any more sports channels, hunting & fishing channels, or shopping channels. HD works best for theater quality movies and content...

    EuroNews a la carte?

    I'd love to have it, in fact I prefer BBC world news over the "news" channels here which are mainly politics. I'd pay $2 /month for it

    PBS has Arrived!!

    Sorry sounds like somebody has issues. It is a fairly large market and the visibility alone makes it somewhat important. Plus isn't that where the HQ of PBS is. Gotta give all those new freshman lawmakers something to do when they're not busy dismantling the government.

    PBS has Arrived!!

    I wish they would get DC for goodness sake! No offense to the rest of the country but you would think Dish network would give the friggin national capital public broadcasting in HD.

    Deal of a Lifetime!

    Yep, but figure that every time a tech comes to your house its $100, they had to come out twice last week to figure out how to put up the 1000.4 dish and keep my 508 and 721 all working, didn't cost me a dime. Went from a 501 to 508 and replaced the 508 twice for free cause of a bad HDD $0...

    Deal of a Lifetime!

    Hey DHPP is not that bad of a deal. Box goes bad they send you a new one, switch, LNB, same thing. Put up a new dish for me to get my eastern arc, no problems. I've gotten maybe 3 receivers, 4 switches, 1 LNB and one dish in 8 years for no charge via DHPP.

    Slow response to commands

    I notice my 500 series is a lot slower to respond to remote commands than my 721 as well, just figured it was because it was older technology and I was used to the new box running a lot faster, kind of like getting a new PC. Could this be it? I've even wanted to get rid of the 501 because of...
