I run the numbers for both my TV and cellphone services about twice a year, particularly if I see a promotion that looks like it might save me a few bucks. Invariably, after taking introductory promotions into account, I don't find any cost savings that lead me to switch. I've been with Dish...

I look at it like this: I pay, through a contract that's required to obtain service, for a programming package that includes certain channels. In this case my package includes Fox News. I'm sure there's small print in my contract saying that delivery of channels is subject to change blah...

I'm quite comfortable with my knowledge and usage of the word. I'm not saying the loss of any channel for Dish customers is censorship. But I do believe that the couple members I quoted would be comfortable with actual censorship of Fox News due to their dislike of it. (Edited due to a...

It's always good to know who's cool with censoring information of which they do not approve.

Update: I was able to negotiate $15 off my bill for 6 mos. as compensation for not getting the CI broadcasts from CSN channels...they offered $10/mo. then accepted my counter of $15. That's just about 50% of the cost of Center Ice. I'm still annoyed by the way Dish handles these disputes but...

Am I correct that this is still an ongoing dispute? I noticed that, after the reported cut-off date, one Sharks' CSN broadcast was available through my CI package but the rest have not been. That one game made me think they had worked it out.

This is really irritating. I pay for CI primarily to watch the SJ Sharks who are on CSN Bay Area (or CSN-CA...I have trouble keeping them straight). I'm relatively OK with watching the games through the opponent's broadcast as long as it's in HD (but generally prefer the SJ broadcast). The...

By "configure it" do you mean that something will pop onto the screen to set it up (even though it's not supported)? Regardless, I'll probably pick up a wifi adapter and try it shortly. The Dish wifi adapter is just a standard adapter, isn't it? No special Dish mojo, is there?

I wanted to follow up on the idea of a USB WiFi connection for a Joey...If I stick the WiFi adapter into the Joey, will it automatically link up with the Hopper if I pull the coax connection? Or is there anything else I would need to do/configure to make it happen (my Hopper is already...

I sent a PM as well. Tonight we had an hour or so where we had all kinds of issues. Besides the channel switch delay which I've noticed over the past week or so, the Info/Browse/Recall/Guide buttons had very long delays...a solid 1-2 minutes in a couple of instances. On one of my Joeys the...

I can confirm that TCM is not currently available as a proper HD signal (I spend 8 hrs. there every day...although I'm not sure exactly why they're not doing HD).

Fox Soccer Plus in HD.

Thanks, guys. The Hopper-Joey connections appear to be OK and I was able to figure out the "acquiring satellite signal" issue (poor cable connection at the node). It does seem that it all required time that the tech wasn't ready for. Still missing the CenterIce channels as of this morning but...

It can never be that easy, can it? After having everything off for a while my Hopper cannot acquire a sat signal. The tech on the phone ran through his diagnostics with no luck. They want to send someone out. Pulling hair...

Update: Success! I came home today and ran through the reset procedures and, somehow, it has worked. The first Joey is up and running and the second is downloading memory now. Is it possible some of these units need the Hopper to be in operation for some number of hours before the Joeys will...

I'm at the same stage w/ 1 Hopper & 2 Joeys. I ran through the variety of reset/restart procedures found here last night with no luck. Someone suggested checking the hookup at the node/switch box to make sure the right cables are in the right ports. I'll do that tonight before rescheduling...

1) How many Hopper/Joeys were installed? 1H/2J 2) Were you able to get the best promotional price for the Hopper system? I think so...$99 total. 3) Who did the install/upgrade? Dish Network Tech, Retailer, or Third Party Contractor Dish 4) How long did the install take? hours...

Thought I'd throw my experience out there as another data point. My tech was from the local Dish office, not a retailer. I was his first Hopper install. He seemed well trained...he knew to get the Hopper fully operable before touching either of the Joeys. It took us a little time in the...

Question: Is the Joey software download that seems to be taking so much time for everyone what's happening when the Joey comes on and says it's looking for a Hopper to connect to? Ours is hanging on that screen and the tech is getting frustrated. His office told him that could take 10-15 minutes.

+1 here, as well. We're going on about 2 hrs. Had to do a little cable ID in the basement (it's a mess) and replace the LNB on the dish after the Hopper didn't like the signal. We're now into the setup/download wait. I'm here and the tech is reading my paper. But it seems to be working.

I called Thurs. morning and the experience was about as good as I could have hoped for. The CSR said I was his first Hopper order. It sounded like he had a pretty good idea of the system but did defer to a supervisor a couple of times to make sure he was getting it right. The pricing he...

Well, it disappears when I disconnect the cable, either at the wall or at the TV. That makes me think it's at least being transmitted by the cable. I had some suspicion that it might have been a Dish music channel but I just heard commercials which makes me pretty certain it's...

And they would ground through the connector...through the TV? Somewhere else? Should I be looking at the installation of the connector to the cable at the TV end?

TV 2 on my 722k is picking up some sort of radio interference. The cable run is fairly long...from the basement to the 2nd floor. The interference is clearly audible when no satellite signal is present and not affected by the TV volume. I'm assuming the cable is picking it up. What sort of...

Additionally, it's clear now that Palladia and HDTheater are not included in the HD4 Life deal, even though they're in the basic HD packages and the HD4 Life webpage shows Palladia as included. If you go that route those channels will require the purchase of the Platinum plan. I went 'round...
