Agreed - to them it is a job and most of them look for something else to do in their off time. To most of the people on this forum it is an interest so we obsess with it, like in my case, for short periods of time.

CLICK THE X IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE BOX TO DISMISS THIS MESSAGE
Not for me, there is the nightly 1:00AM reboot event. I have the box go on auto-tune at 2:00AM so the box is always on a channel so when my mom turns the tv on, it's already tuned to that channel and I can go back an hour if I needed to. I don't have a Joey and recording still would leave the box in standby mode as you would have to hit select to turn it on.
Thanks!
It's okay since all my video is still 1080i or whatever the dish outputs or SD.
Set the receiver to output 720p and see if it makes any difference in picture quality.
Yeah Patrick, make sure you keep in contact with bluegras, especially after the install, I suspect the excitement may become too much for him
You don't sound too impressed?
I was wondering if Oleds need a high quality source to really shine like a high end plasma I have which pq looked bad with Dish but stunning with bluray & streams like Hulu & Netflix. However Dish looked okay on a much cheaper plasma in the same house hooked up to a Joey. A TV expert told me once that can happen as cheaper screens can hide the defects of a lower quality source, while the bigger & higher quality screens can magnify them.
RandallW from DIRT, got me all fixed up and they were able to push the order thru over the phone. Install scheduled for Saturday. After calling in and finishing the deal, I did have to purchase the 6th Joey for $50. Either way, nightmare seems to be over.
Well after several beat around the bush pms (I tried to negate that from the beginning and just get the pricing details out in the open but NOOOOO! The guy wants to waste my time and his with multiple messages. So finally we get to his last message "With the plan and equipment upgrade you will see an increase of $8. and a onetime fee of $150." BUZZZZZ Times up you lost the Super Bowl. Nope not for me. To pay $150 to then pay again monthly to use the equipment. NOPE NADDA SEE YA LATER.
Randall fixed me up too!!! Install Wednesday afternoon.
Is there a way to get on a list so we're notified when we can get the Hopper 3 in our areas (e.g., Seattle/Tacoma WA)??
I've offered to help him with any questions he has so he doesn't make people mad here. If people were a little more kind it wouldn't be an issue.Yeah Patrick, make sure you keep in contact with bluegras, especially after the install, I suspect the excitement may become too much for him
I am not sure about a list, but I can definitely post in here, or let Scott know once we have a resolution.
Posting in here is like finding a needle in a haystack. How about if I start a new thread specifically for it?
By here I meant on SatelliteGuys, not necessarily this specific thread, or again I can update Scott and he can post it where it can be seen.
Will give that a shot as I think I have it in native resolution rather than a specific resolution.... I actually have the DISH H2K going through the Oppo BDP-105D Player which upconverts to 4K.
To be honest, I am still watching SD material so it's hard to say... And besides, been busy enough trying to set the various picture settings so haven't really given the tv some good content yet. I had a Pioneer PDP4330HD 1024x768 Plasma from 2002 which got replaced with the OLED. From reading what others said, both D*TV and DISH compresses the signal so it will not look it's best. I just know HD channels look awesome though.
The current thinking is that the tv does ambettermjobmofmupscalingmthan do the up scaling players and AVRs. Btw, there is no "native resolution" on Dish receivers.

Are you saying that it's pointless to get the Hopper3 if your tv upconverts?
