    I love Dish but can no longer justify it.

    Well I did it. It took 30 minutes on the phone and in the end as I was a "Platinum Customer" I was offered $35 a month off if I locked in for 2 years but I cancelled Dish. I would have done this sooner but I was worried about my wife not liking streaming as she is not that tech savvy. After...

    I love Dish but can no longer justify it.

    Well after 17 years I am leaving. I made my first post here Mar 5,2005 and got Dish Mar 27, 2005. I will say without question Dish has the best DVR system of any provider. The Hopper 3 / Joey system is awesome and I love it but I can no longer justify what it costs. I have been paying 122 a...

    Here's something more current: "Dish is begging authorities for help with T-Mobile’s CDMA shutdown looming"

    Boost has these folks phone numbers. Start sending them text or Calls starting now with one a month and then ramping it up to one a week then daily as the shut off time nears to let the folks know to get a new phone. Anyone that still has a CDMA phone needs an upgrade anyway. If they can not...

    PC Video on TV. Hopper Feature?

    Nope the Home media option was a app you could pull up like the Netflix app and use to watch videos that resided on a PC running a DNLA Media Server.

    PC Video on TV. Hopper Feature?

    Nope none of them. Only link any have to the internet is my Hopper system which I assume is it because the names listed are also the same names assigned to them in the Hopper system.

    PC Video on TV. Hopper Feature?

    I was listening to a video on YouTube on my PC the other night. I noticed this button that said play on TV. I clicked it out of curiosity and it brought up a list of all the TVs connected to my Hopper/Joeys. I clicked Livingroom and next thing you know my video is playing on the living room TV...

    Snuck in a downgrade on the family and nobody noticed.

    I got to looking at my bill and after much thought decided to downgrade and just go with the flex pack and with the sports pack. I did it over a month ago and nobody has said anything.

    What could this mean in regard to my owned H3...

    I don't see this making much difference to very many people. I just check Solid Signals price and it would cost me about $450 to buy a hopper 3 and 2 joeys. I would go from paying $29 a month to $15 a month. It would take me 33 months to break even buying the equipment.

    New Software: Hopper Duo (U992), Hopper 1 (U917), Hopper 2 (U742), Hopper 3 (U939), Wally (U827)

    I wonder if Home media is gone for good. I would far prefer to have it than Amazon prime that was added.

    Replacement remote for 211Z, 211K

    Here is my suggestion. I went threw this a few months ago and I understand your frustration. LIE. LIE.LIE. Claim your remote is 100% completely dead. Claim you have replaced the batteries with know good batteries from another remote. You can not use common sense with these people so just LIE!

    Chat is unbelievably useless

    Well I got a new remote for free. I did another chat where I just lied and said my remote was completely nonfunctional. Would you believe even then they wanted me to take the batteries out and put them back in.You would think being a 10 year plus customer that has always had the protection plan...
