    Hopper with Sling Versions (China mfg in 2012 vs India refurbished 2020)

    After almost 15 years with DISH and several receivers--had 2 receivers--upgraded 2021 so both are Hoppers with Sling (change in usage and failure of newer Hopper to solve OTA recording pixellation issues), am downgrading to just one Hopper with Sling (not choosing Hopper 3 due to extra cost on...

    VOD Pay PerView Problems with unwanted movie rentals

    (Back to Sat Guys since old C Band days, so bear with me--not sure if this thread exists already. Had this problem since June where when trying to use the Pay Per View Certificates (free in the Stars and Stripe Pack for Veteran husband), whenever I ordered a VOD movie--either on MyDish app, or...

    Problem getting Hopper with Sling to pair with iPad for Dish Transfer

    We have the same problem as of a few weeks ago. We have 2 Hoppers, one with wireless and one with ethernet connections to the Linksys router. We cannot "connect" to either my Android tablet or husband's Ipad 2. We have tried everything, talked to multiple Dish reps, local Dish installer...

    Another local off dish amid dispute (Fox Sioux Falls, SD)

    Iceberg Unfortunately, I found this out AND see that my OTA guide data FOR KTTW is blocked also. I can access a guide and select the channel via my DishAnywhere app on my Tablet. Called Dish twice and they suggest I watch FOX on my Tablet. Ugh! Can't set up recordings on the Hopper, or is...

    New Upgrade Prices for Hopper w/ Sling

    I guess I am neither Plan A or Plan B, but my account is in good standing, but only customer for about 8 months--quote $200 to upgrade, so just wonder?

    After new update DVR no longer plays back smoothly--skips, pauses, stops

    Thanks--the node is inside the house--laying flat--does it need to lie flat like the OTA Usb dongle? I wonder about moisture somewhere or grounding? But now, not sure how the tech is going to troubleshoot when the messages are no longer appearing--but will try to note, if the errors come up...

    After new update DVR no longer plays back smoothly--skips, pauses, stops

    Right--as it does not appear on the other receiver, but.... Does the tech have a way to electronically test the LNBF at the Dish because, after the looonnnng depowering--pulling plug for 20 minutes, the 2nd Hopper that had the LNB drift error message now does not show that message and not...

    After new update DVR no longer plays back smoothly--skips, pauses, stops

    What should the technician do to correct this problem? What might have caused it--after being installed and working ok for 2 months? Already tried switching the 2 node outputs from the dual node, but could be bad node and/or LNB?

    After new update DVR no longer plays back smoothly--skips, pauses, stops

    UPDATE to the Above--would appreciate any input, especially from a DISH tech or the "DIRT" team????? In another forum or topic thread, I read that someone with a similar problem pulled the power for a longer period of time than 10 secs, so I did that yesterday--for about 20 minutes. So far...

    Hopper playback choppy

    The past few days (have had my Hopper since Nov 9) all of a sudden, after a few hours of usage, any DVR recordings I start to play or if I pause any live tv and then start to reply or resume, the resulting play is full of skips, jerky, loss of sound, recorded content--really unwatchable. So all...

    NO GUIDE DATA Past Sunday Noon--Tried everything--have the new software and USB OTA dongle

    This was very helpful--thanks. I had made 3 calls to DISH about this issue and noone ever said to turn the Hopper off and have an available tuner (i.e.--that means I could still be recording something, as long as one tuner is not recording?). So, that's why I saw no fill-in right away. Now...

    NO GUIDE DATA Past Sunday Noon--Tried everything--have the new software and USB OTA dongle

    I see, this morning, my guide as repopulated out about 9 days and I wish I knew what, of the above items, did the trick. When you did the red button reset (I did that also), did the guide start to repopulate right away or did it wait for the nightly resend? So, theoretically, each night, it...

    NO GUIDE DATA Past Sunday Noon--Tried everything--have the new software and USB OTA dongle

    About a week or so again, got the 230 upgrade and my OTA works, but, for about that long, I just discovered, no guide data is being generated past this Sunday at noon. We have 2 hoppers. The other hopper's guide data is just fine (it does not have the OTA USB dongle, but it did get the...

    Delete Recording Folder--recordings can never be permanently deleted

    I was surprised that the "RECYCLE" bin of Deleted Recordings can never be permanently emptied! How quickly will the hard drive fill up at that rate? I don't want to keep a backup copy of every recording I make! I want to choose which I want to permanently delete. Can Dish alter this new...
