    Prepare for another price increase thx to ESPN

    I never watch ESPN. I don't think the price increase is worth it. Charlie used that reasoning recently for other fee increases by other networks. Charlie should make ESPN part of a sports package.

    Stand for hopper?

    I like dish and have been a loyal customer but my pet peeve is making the customer pay to fix a "leased" receiver. My opinion is that if I'm paying them a monthly fee to provide me with equipment to use their service then dish should fix the equipment when it breaks due to defects or normal wear...

    Stand for hopper?

    Something is wrong with the world when you need to worry about a leased dvr overheating while sitting on an open shelf in a living room doing what it was designed to do!

    How much is the Hopper upgrade costing you?

    My dish bill had the $100 fee on it so I called an complained. I told the CSR that I was told since I signed a new 2 year commitment the hopper upgrade would be free. Looking back on it I repeated to the original loyalty rep the free / no cost for the deal and he kept saying there would be no...

    Received S217 Software Update

    I received it too last night. I went from 213 to 217. I wish they would spend some time working on the Blockbuster at Home interface. Nextflix is much more attractive in appearance and use.

    No onscreen caller ID

    I was thinking caller id would be handy, but then I remembered we only get about one call a month on the landline so its not worth the effort.

    Questions about my upcoming Hopper install

    My comcast internet modem and router is in the same room as my Hopper and the tech installed a HIC next to my cable modem and router and connected the HIC to the router and reused a RG 6 coax from my old 622 to go from the box installed on outside wall where the node is located.

    My quest to get DLNA working on the Hopper...

    DLNA is not very useful without fast forward or rewind working. I couldn't get serviio to work. The hopper and joey would see the Serviio but would never list any files. I got Plex DLNA server and J River Media Center DLNA server to work and play MKV video files, but no FF/RW.

    If that is true, it will make my day.

    Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

    I don't understand what you are saying. Are you saying that Dish is letting you get ABC from another market different from the normal Seattle Market?

    Can I get East Coast Feed in the West

    Dish did take $10 a month off my bill for 12 months. They didn't say anything about extending my contract, but I suspect they did without telling me. Since the dispute started, I sent at least $10 a month downloading TV shows from iTunes. My dsl is not fast enough to avoid buffering on hulu...

    Can I get East Coast Feed in the West

    I demo'ed an antenna from the local dish network installer. Because of my location I need to spend some money to buy a good one. Also, my DVR a 522 does not dvr OTA signals, so I would need to upgrade my DVR. I don't have HDTVs right now, so I don't want to upgrade my DRVs. I just want...

    Can I get East Coast Feed in the West

    The nearest DMA Portland, Oregon. Which is also a Fisher Station, except instead of CBS I would lose ABC. Either way I lose out. The longer the problem between Dish and Fisher drags out, the more I'm looking at the MRV capabilities that Directv is working on.
