Thanks for the response Lucky. Digging around that screen a bit more, I noticed that hitting the yellow button will display shows to be skipped. This is an okay solution but there are a lot of episodes on some timers to wade through as it seems they air 20 re-runs a day! It would be nice to...

Hello, We had the Hopper w/ Sling installed at our house about a month ago. So far, it's been a great solution to replace our previous WHDVR on Uverse. There are a few things here and there (as to be expected) but this particular issue my wife just asked about and was something I've...

I had this happen while using the Dish Anywhere app as well. Exact scenario as described in previous posts. I've also thought I'm going nuts a couple times because a TV will be a channel we never watch or record when we turn it on. Could there be a correlation there? The other thing I just...

I noticed this behavior right away as well. I search around and found a post on the Dish support forums. I hope it's okay to provide the link... https://support.dish.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1208

I use the snow brush / ice scraper from my car, but I'm going to have to try Rain X for next year. Our most recent snow fall resulted in a a sheet of ice forming over the LNB's and a couple inches of snow stuck to the dish.

Ugh! I'm really just wanting to rant...so bear with me. I've been a happy D* customer. They haven't given me too many problems over the years. I came back to D* in August 07, with the lure of all those new HD channels and moving back to a house. We used our existing Tivo for awhile, bought...

I switched out the receivers and the H21 exhibited the same transponder signal strength fluctuations in the living room as the HR21. That only confirmed that it is indeed the cabling. I appreciate your reply, I'm going to go over all the F Connectors and cabling this weekend. If that doesn't...

Hello, I apoligze for making this so long! I have an HR21 in the living room and have never noticed any channels missing. I do however, on the mpeg4 HD from 103 or 99, receive a searching for signal 771 a couple times a week and need to change the channel and then back to get a picture. It...

Don't get me wrong their not horrible. I'll take it way way over SD. It is mostly noticeable on darker backgrounds, like walls. The front side of Jay Leno's desk always as big blocky artifacts moving around, even when the camera is still. Adjusting the brightness level down has compensated for...

If you don't have bluray/HD-DVD then try it out on HD PPV. The quality is much better than DVD. We tried Spiderman 3 and it looked fantastic! It was a stupid movie but all the over done CG made it look great.

As stated the locals are in mpeg4, but I find the difference in quality between the local and national channels pretty significant. The locals seem to be compressed significantly more by DirecTV. There are times when the compression artifacts are jumping around so much its nuts! If that weren't...

Count me in please!

I'd love to win DishStore.NET's grand prize! Count me in please!

I'd say you have a bad remote. I'm still running the batteries that came with it, with RF turned on.

Thanks guys! I am going to just leave my order as it stands and lease a new receiver from them for the year.
