When we first got our Dish we had this same issue. It turned out that the settings were wrong. So if you change the setting on an HD channel, it will only apply itself to all the HD channels. Then you have to be watching an SD channel and make the same adjustment and all the SD channels would...

As other people have stated. If it is freezing on satellite channels, switch to an OTA channel and then back to a satellite channel. That has worked every time the last 6 times I have had to do this over the past 3 months or so. Changing to another satellite channel will do nothing to fix the...

I think we have the exact same issues as you on our Hopper Duo. So we will be watching a satellite channel and it will skip or pixelate have the sound drop in and out. The only way to fix the issue is to select an OTA channel. Once we change the channel to OTA (using OTA adapter) and then flip...

Haha I don't consider home broadband a waste...I consider it a potential for cost cutting if you already have internet access on your cell phone and don't require it for a NEED (work, online gaming, etc). I know younger people who don't even have home internet and they literally watch everything...

Oh yeah, exclusively streamed for years there are definitely perks to streaming...there are definitely perks to satellite too. To be honest we were kind of forced into Dish because our new house/ neighborhood doesn't have traditional internet access. I am pleasantly surprised by the enjoyable...

What do you NEED home internet for? In many cases it's a want, not a need. I totally understand where you are coming from though. Many people do feel the need for home wifi for online gaming, PC browsing (for satelliteguys access of course) work, or for their wifi toaster. Those are all...

Interesting read! I mean you aren't including that the home wifi cost of $60 in your calculation so maybe more like $94.37 a month for your streaming? That additional cost should be factored in, just like equipment fees are factored in for a fair/ realistic comparison of services. With...

Haha my wife and I just started watching shows with the cc on. Now we don't have to blast the tv to hear the quiet parts lol.

Another option is that he could go with a Hopper Duo or Hopper 2 w sling.

Comet Tv is an awesome channel! Old Godzilla movies, Twilight Zone, etc..... love it and I'm glad its in HD!

I think for most stations we are between 20 and 35 miles away. Maybe try to get yourself a decent antennae and see if the stations pull through your tv set before you take the plunge and buy the OTA adapter. Just make sure the antennae can be returned in case it doesn't get you the channels you...

Haha nope I'm within 30 minutes of the state capital actually! When we bought our house a year ago, we never figured to check if it had internet access. Well after we moved in we soon found that there was no fiber on our road and also that even though AT&T has copper wires on our road they don't...

TBH our OTA channels have worked flawlessly. The guide for several of the channels doesn't show what's on...but the actual OTA channels themselves have worked great. In fact those OTA channels come in better than they did on our TV's before and they are integrated into the Hopper w the rest of...

Mine doesn't have guides for half the channels and I know for a fact that the stations update their guides because everything is always on the tv listings app I used to use for OTA channels...actually since info is missing I still have to use it lol
