I first went to the local Boost store in Marysville Ohio to see if there was good coverage. I was pleased to see 4 bars of 5G. The Boost store said the cost would be $25 per month if they did the activation. To get the $10 reduction to $15 per month I needed to go through Dish and have the...

They both are Dish trained technicians so they are capable of doing both Dish installs and Boost activations. Unfortunately they don’t share work orders. That is how I ended up with two Dish technicians at my house. One doing my Boost phone and one installing my Joey3. Hopefully someone at Dish...

The Dish Hopper 3 supports a variety of video and audio codecs: Video codecs MPEG2 H.264 H.265 (HEVC) Audio codecs AAC ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) AAC_PLUS AC3 (Dolby Digital) MPEG FLAC WAV LPCM MP3 It's important to note that the Hopper 3 also supports containers like MKV, MP4, MPEG-TS...

I manually updated both of my Hopper 3 receivers to H398. Both of my Joey 3 clients stayed at J596. After the update caller id and tv enhancements got shut off on my one Hopper 3 receiver. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes my IPhone is now working on the Boost network. I am very pleased with the Boost coverage so far. I had 4 to 5 bars of 5G signal all the way from Marysville to my house and I have 2 bars signal in my house. With T-Mobile I would lose service during the drive from Marysville. The next step is...

I just found out that currently the Zapperbox M3 (client) will not work with DRM encrypted broadcasts. Version 4.0 of their software was going to allow client boxes to work with DRM broadcasts but A3SA stopped them. Their current software version is 3.2.2. So currently no gateway device works...

When I went to the Boost store today they told me that there was a problem all day yesterday porting numbers from T-Mobile. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You probably don’t have arthritis in your hands. As I age I find that I can’t do tasks that I could easily do. Just removing the Otter box is challenging. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Scott posted this when YouTube was first added to the Hopper 3. I wouldn't expect it until mid or late Summer. Also remember it will NOT do Youtube 4K as the Hopper does not support VP9.https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/index.php?threads/YOUTUBE-APP-COMING-TO-HOPPER-3.358161/ Sent from my...

I talked to the Dish Boost installer today while we waited on hold for the Boost VIP support. He has been doing Satellite Dishes for over 30 years. He started off with the large C band Satellite dishes. He then worked for US direct broadcast installing Prime Star. He has worked for Dish since...

The transfer from T-Mobile finally happened at 6:30 PM. So the transfer of my phone number took 5.5 hours. Tomorrow I will go into the Boost Mobile store in Marysville Ohio so they can remove the T-Mobile Sim and insert the Boost Mobile Sim. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Today the Dish Boost technician came to my home to switch my IPhone from T-Mobile to Boost. I already had my existing T-Mobile account # and the Transfer PIN so it should have been an easy switch. The Dish technician changed out the T-Mobile Sim for the Boost Mobile Sim. Everything looked good...

You still need a Zapperbox for each TV. The unit you linked to is $275. Zapperbox had planned to eventually be able to use apps on other streaming devices but this was shot down by A3SA. The Zapperbox M3 (mini) is the client (no tuner) that connects to the M1 or M2 Zapperbox. The Zapperbox M3...

Yes but you need a Zapperbox unit for each TV. Zapperbox tried to set up a network solution but it failed. So if you have multiple TVs you need to buy a Zapperbox for each TV. There is no gateway device that will decrypt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The issue is that no network device exists that will work with the current encryption. You need a tuner for each TV set and the broadcast is not available for tablets, computers, and phones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
