    Hi everyone!

    Congrats Brittany! A quite accomplishment. As Jim says please push the engineers to bring back 4X FF. I was vacationing in Ohau in April and I used Spectrum dvr first time in my airbnb. Their device offers slow fast forward. I would record shows and especially 6:30 pm network news. I would...

    Dish contract ends 28Apr2024 - any reason to renew?

    Agree with Ilokey. The first threat shows the monthly fee is going up by $8 assuming the fees stay the same. If you do nothing but watch tv constantly ( nothing wrong with that, a personal choice) and so many channels interest you why not ? Satellite tv is still an inexpensive option for most...

    Return Customer

    No tv, just OTA or streaming after u left? Dish is hard to replace. If u can live with an inexpensive package and just Hopper and maybe one Joey how do you beat that? If you have enough recordings you r ready for stormy days.

    DVR recording question

    I was curious to see the picture quality between Dish local channel and OTA. Same show. I keep hearing OTA offers no or little compression. So, OTA should offer better picture assuming the reception is good. I get NBC local three ways where I live. Dish, Lexington, KY (ota) and Cincinnati...

    How to disable this Hopper3 dvr feature!

    I remember seeing the same thing when my hopper3 was not connected to Internet due to not having unlimited data package.( Few years ago, before T-Mobile offered a great service for $50 a month.) I always thought it was weird.

    Thanks Jim. I will leave the way it is and move on. Maybe software gurus at Dish will give that option to us in the future.

    How to disable this Hopper3 dvr feature!

    Now this is interesting! It happened last night. Prime time recording to skip commercials. Recorded on last thursday. 'Law and order' show. Only the latest episode. We watched and I stopped it when it ended. Hopper3 gave me a list of different episodes to stream! The words 'on demand' were next...

    How to disable this Hopper3 dvr feature!

    I solved the mystery! Josh's recommendation works as long as the dvr created folder is not in another folder. When I recorded several different shows from history channel they were saved in folders under their names. (Unsolved mysteries, secrets of the dead, etc.) I moved those 4-5 folders...

    Thanks guys. Hipkat: I open the guide. go to the channel. Slowly scroll, mostly evening hours. select a show. and record 'series'. I usually don't select 'new' since some of these shows are reruns and I want to record them all. Josh: I don't see that option. A hopper3 created folder named...

    How to disable this Hopper3 dvr feature!

    The wifey likes her History channel. So, I do a lot of recording to make her happy. When I check the recordings in folders Hopper3 shows they are neatly sorted by season and episode number. There are also episodes with 'on demand' feature. It sounds helpful, but.................. After a...

    Need some direction

    Thank you for sharing this. You confirmed my belief that passwords we use for important accounts should be changed every quarter!. I stubbornly do that and remind my wife who doesn't. It has to be a habit. Crooks are always a step ahead.

    ROKU STICK OR FIRE STICK

    Follow the sales. Roku sometimes offers better deals than Amazon for its own device. They are so inexpensive. Get both. Roku lets you arrange all the the streaming apps. Amazon believes theirs is superior to others!!!

    Previously recorded movies

    I can confirm what Dishrich says. You can force it to rerecord. If you already deleted the previous recording the Guide shows the red dot, not the gray dot.

    loss of service

    Pretty sure the friend used Google to do his search for a Dish number. Of course, Google prioritizes the sites (that pay) since they need the revenue! It is easy to fall into that trap.

    Need to remove satellite dish for roof repair

    Give up 50 bucks or take a risk hurting yourself if the the roof is too steep. I try to save every nickel, too. I know too many guys falling from ladders, roofs and getting hurt. Not worth it unless the roof is almost flat.

    Is it possible to record ( set Hopper3) when away?

    We are away for Thanksgiving week. I get emails from my local public tv ( KET) regarding tonight’s and tmrw night’s guide. Normally, I go to the Guide to record when this happens because I am home. I use Dishanywhere with my iPad. Can I use the app to let my Hopper3 (which is 450 miles away!)...

    autohop - why does it work only with Prime time

    In a perfect world Hopper would offer Autohop on every recording with commercial breaks. IMO, no fee based station will let that happen. Can you imagine how much we, the customers, will have to pay for that convenience?
