    Using receiver at another location

    Thanks for the thoughtful and informative replies. I've only used DishAnywhere in the past with the Sling adapter and the quality of the app itself (on the web and iPad) wasn't great and the streaming quality was subpar. I understand it depends on your connection, but if you have a 100Mb...

    Using receiver at another location

    Could I add and activate another receiver like a Wally and use it in my office at a different location? We don't spend enough time there to make it worth another subscription, but it'd be worth the $7/month just for the occasional times we may turn on the tv. Does Dish do anything to prevent...

    Info about Hopper Duo

    I assume it's a bad idea to use a SS drive?

    Info about Hopper Duo

    If I want to add a Wally as a 2nd receiver, am I better off just getting it from Dish or buying a used one off eBay? I imagine I need to pay the 2nd receiver fee either way. Why is the Wally aimed at RV use? Seems kind of odd. Also, does Wally allow me to watch some of the Dish channels that...

    Info about Hopper Duo

    I'm looking to keep a DVR, so the Wally doesn't really work. But does the Wally require an additional fee like a 2nd receiver fee if it's being used as a 2nd receiver? Seems like a cheap alternative for a 2nd tv.

    Info about Hopper Duo

    I'm having trouble with my 722k receiver and Dish is offering an upgrade to the Hopper Duo, which would cost an addtional $3/month for me in DVR fees. I can't find a lot of info about the Hopper Duo. My main questions are: 1) Does it use the same interface as the other Hopper receivers such as...

    First Look: DISH 381 Receiver

    This is perfect for some ppl. My parents for example may be getting a HD TV soon but will not be interested in paying $20/month extra for HD channels. They would however be interested in free HD local channels. I think this fits the bill for many ppl if it's offered for free.

    EXCLUSIVE: AT&T HomeZone First Look

    Any idea how they distribute the ondemand showings? Bandwidth isn't cheap, and those movies to really be DVD quality are at the very least 1/2 GB, and tha'ts if they're using an advanced codec. Could they be using bittorrent to help dilute the cost of distribution? I'm not a huge fan of AT&T...

    DTV NHL Blackouts

    what he means by lose your locals is that you won't receive your local channels but the local channels of where you move to. So if you're mainly interested in primetime programming, then you'll still get it, but if it's the news you want, then it's a different story. I say to move. It's much...

    Overall concern about quality of Dish Network DVR software

    I disagree as well, I have a 721 and yeah lately it has some minor issues like the skip back button not working or freezing for a couple seconds, but i really prefer the whole box as a whole to my crappy directivo which is slow 100% of the time and has its bugs as well. From my experience Dish...

    NHL Blackout?

    Scott's post on the Dish NEtwork forum seems to have hit it on the head. Directv does not have a current contract with FSNY and MSG. Who knows when they will be able to show those teams again.

    NHL Blackout?

    ok...just called back..again.. and spoke with a somewhat knowledge girl who was really nice. she said they are aware of the problem and have lots of ppl calling in and understand that it's NHL opening night and we're probably pretty upset. She offered some compensation for this and offered me...
