I have been absent from this site for quite a while. I just noticed 129 is gone. Will the old 2 LNB dishes come back. Will they be an automatic "upgrade"? I currently have a Hisense Google TV (Android) Which I am not very happy with. Is there any reason I should be interested in the Hopper +? I...

The one I am looking seems to have a physical hard disk with 1000 hours of HD recording capacity and 24 tuners. I just thought I might get more accurate and reliable info here rather than from Cox.

I could not find "Preferred Customer Offer". I could not find my contract end date. I entered a chat and asked where to find it Was told the chat agent did not have access to the information.:mad:

After more than 20 years with Dish, I am considering cutting the cord. I live in a Mobile Home Park where the lease requires a monthly payment for Cox Cable TV. Dish just raised my fee again. It just might be the straw that broke the camels back. Does anyone here have any experience with the...

I haven't had a landline in decades. I traveled full time in my RV for 10 years with 2 722s and later with Hopper. A landline would have been difficult. Currently have Hopper III it has never seen a landline.

Other than taking the time to view each of these channels, how do mere mortals decipher what is on them, or weather it is worth our while to even tune in once.

I will try waiting. but I think we may have already tried that. Also the volume button, in addition to adjusting the volume brings up a picture mode selection menu that doesn't go away. My solution, I ordered a new remote from Amazon for $7. When it arrives on Wednesday hopefully the problems...

I finally broke down and called Dish tech support. They explained that no Dish remote is expected to operate more than on/off and volume. Any other functionality is accidental and may be corrected if they become aware of it.

We just got a new Hisense 65U6G 4K TV. My wife uses and likes her Dish 40.0 remote. I can pair the remote, so it will turn the TV on and off and adjust volume. It will also display input menu and scroll down the menu. But it doesn't select the input for the Dish Hopper 3. It just highlights it...

for those who will miss Hunter, I'll bet a quick search on Roku will find at about 15 free sources.

I have several Roku TVs and a Roku stick they are the best smart TV interface I have ever had. Of course they are the only smart TV I have ever had. They do every thing I need and 10 times more except provide an actual web browser.

What is the cheapest easiest way to get a web browser on a Roku TV? I know that Roku doesn't support a web browser directly. I know I can use a Roku TV as a monitor for a computer. I am looking for a simple web stick to plug into my Roku TV. Does such an animal exist?

What about the 50 in between?

If rabbitears.info says I can get one local channel I never heard of, and the other 50 or so channels range from Poor to Bad on their scale, does that suggest I would only be wasting time and money attempting to put up an antenna? I have previously checked antennaweb and even at 100 feet above...

First I seldom watch anything in PTAT folder. If I see something there that I care enough about to watch I save it to the regular folder so I don't have to worry about it being deleted until that little HDD fills up. That takes a month or 2. Then if I am watching the new network shows I don't...
