Is it gems like this that got you those 889 likes? ;) I don't "know" I won't get it. I believe there's a chance D* will realize they are losing a lot of business taking a back seat to Dish.

I've modified my requirements since I've learned you can only have 1 Genie. I currently have 9 tuners with 3 Hoppers plus the PrimeTime Anytime feature which only takes one tuner. If D* could give me 9 tuners without me having to pay for the extra 4 over the Genie I would probably go back but...

I was talking about the actual, official Dish forum not this one. That's where I made my post about TV Land, and where I got the answer. Why don't they just say "we have no plans to add it at this time"? Oh, that would require honesty. Having 5 tuners is certainly better than only 2 (or 3 in...

Yes I've learned that DTV is behind the curve there too. Dish allows you to lease 2 Hoppers and you can add a third if you purchase it and the switches you need. And you can find the schematic on how to connect them on this forum and Dish employees will help you get it activated. People are...

That's a work around just like having to push the Record button. On the DTV DVR it just worked without having to do anything. So yes, the feature I miss is not there.

Tech is coming out tomorrow.

I actually swapped locations of this receiver and another one a few weeks ago to get the Sling one in my bedroom (and Netflix) and it seemed to get worse after the swap. I was getting problems on this receiver before but the frequency went up a lot after the swap. What does that suggest?

I have a non-Sling Hopper that has been acting up lately. I used the online chat and got absolutely no help. I need someone who is able to understand a problem that is intermittent. Quite often when I change channels I get a notice that the HD channel cannot be received so it will tune to the...

I heard a rumor that this update gives you the ability to change the nightly updates. Anyone able to confirm or deny this?

I was contacted and forgot to say so although Matt did like my post so I guess that kind of acknowledged it.

Can DIRT member PM me? I have 2 Hoppers and 2 Joeys and just purchased a Hopper to replace one of the Joeys. Hopper won't be delivered for a few days but want to make sure I have everything needed.
