And this is unfortunate considering that vMVPD's can have full DVR funtionality for "Streaming" channels, as well as delayed LIVE viewing. Even Tablo TV allows for recording internet streaming FAST channels, and both types of services allow for skipping commericials upon play back of recording...

Perhaps an error on the table Dish sent that maps channels in the STB. Perhaps this messed up table could be in a number of STB's until corrected with new table OR CORRECT table but programmed with incorrect restrictions (policy or misunderstanding of policy restrections rights) regarding...

My question is what is the experience of a Hopper+ with 2 H3's? Can both H3's and Joeys (yes required upgrade to Joey 4's) see the ONE H+ or will it only be accessible/usable to only ONE of the H3's. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Hey, I, for one, understand as I am caring for my elderly mother in her home (Not quite dementia, but short-term memory problems, and not easy learning the details of tech), and 2 H3's was absolute necessity ( I had to buy the 2nd H3, but I got a good price and it that was the ONLY additional...

IMHO, I think it has to do so with the memory or limit of number of events in the Schedule screen. So YMMV. Every timer you have will constantly find any instance of the program and load it into the Schedule and then determain if it is to be recorded or Skipped. So, if you don't have many...

My uncle pauses FOREVER, and it's a bad idea. What I do is just press record if it is LIVE TV and turn the channel if I don't want to see spoilers while I need to do something else or for watching a DVR recording, after pausing, I just dump out of it and into LIVE TV and then I am done with...

This has been law in California for a while, but since when, I do not know. Yes, this proposed rule by the FTC makes sense, but I would rather see Congress pass such a law to be certain it stays regardless of whatever Administration takes over the White House.

Every big company gets these patents suits and win or lose, after appeals. Cost of doing business. ClearPlay could settle for the same or smaller amount in a settlement for money NOW that could likely net them MORE money in the long run by saving lawyers and legal fees if they really appeal...

Are ClearPlay and the shut down CleanFlicks in any way related? They are/were both Utah companies, and ClearPlay sure looks like a legal version of CleanFlicks. Anyway, even if this judgement sticks, it is still fairly chump change for Dish--and at agreed upon number of installaments.

Right. And by "they" not going to fix it, you mean Microsoft. The problem for Dish customers with the original DishPlayer line was that Echostar (at that time Dish was merely the brand name for the DBS service of Charlie Ergen and friends Echostar Corp.) provided the hardware while Microsoft...

To answer the OP's question: I think Dish still uses 1440, but please, the resolution is NOT as important as the bit rate and the aesthetic choice is of clarity showing flaws in PQ--as is often reported by DTV users vs. a bit of softening to keep those pixels from showing their ugly presence--as...

The Channel Stack Splitter is used for "mixed receiver" installations or even MDU type Wally installations using a DPH42. For example, with one DPH42 multi-switch using both outputs and the necessary number of Channel Stack Splitters, one can install up to 32 Wally's in an institution of some...

I've come across this problem every now and then for quite some time. Perhaps it is the fiber feed to Dish experiencing problems. OR- My guess is this is a issue at Dish, as in either tweaking or perhaps the statistical multiplexing can NOT resolve the demand for the data (channels and their...

Our H3's have exhibited all manor of things that could be the sign of HDD dying, but they often fix themselves or require a reboot and then I find that the other H3 will experience the SAME problems, so it aint the HDD. And not it aint the cabling or equipment either because others on this...

I have not had either of our H3's shut down due to losing an OTA signal. However, there are funky things ONE of our H3's does (such as frequently becoming UNlinked to its H3 after it is off overnight at least 3 times a month), while the other H3 NEVER loses its Link. There are other buggy...
