The streaming channels are all working on my Hopper3 receivers. Perhaps your network connection speed is too slow. To test your network connection speed do the following on a Hopper3: 1) Go to the Dish Diagnostics page by hitting the Home key 3 times. 2) Select Status on the side menu. 3)...

Lon.TV predicts the same result that I had. 1) Predicts that the FCC will not set a date to replace ATSC 1.0 broadcasts with ATSC 3.0 broadcasts. 2) Predicts that instead the FCC will eliminate the requirement that broadcasters simulcast ATSC 1.0 along with the ATSC 3.0. 3) Predicts that the...

That makes sense. Satellite 129 is still connected to my DPH 42 switch but it is no longer used. Thank you for the explanation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I upgraded my two Hopper 3 receivers to H706 and my two Joey 3 clients to J906. The diagnostics screen on the Joey 3 has much more information. When I do a Check Status on my two Hopper 3 receivers I have an Error: Port 3 Generic Warning Everything seems to be working fine so I am not sure what...

148-04 is the USA 4K channel for the Olympics On a Hopper 3. But a Hopper with Sling does not support 4K. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On both of my Hopper 3 receivers you can set the video resolution under TV settings. The 4 choices are: 480i 480p 720p 4K, 1080p, or 1080i If you select 4K, 1080p, or 1080i your Hopper3 will automatically pick the correct resolution based on the content as Bobby has said. I don’t own a Hopper...

Given that most manufacturers, essentially everyone except Samsung, have now discontinued their 8K models, it's reasonable to say that you shouldn't buy an 8K TV. Here's the reasons why we don't expect 8K TVs to become more popular anytime soon. Nearly all modern TVs are 4K resolution...

I was using the Peacock app on my Sony Bravia XBR-65X900E TV. The first 30 minutes played well. Then it started pausing for about 2-5 seconds. It got so bad that I ended up switching to the Dish broadcast which had no problems. I have Spectrum internet. I checked my download speed on my Sony TV...

Peacock has gotten so bad pausing every 30 seconds so I have now switched over to my Dish recording. The Dish recording has no problems. So Peacock fails. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been watching the Olympic Opening Ceremony on Peacock since 8 PM. It is now 9:30 PM and the Peacock broadcast keeps pausing. I checked my internet download speed and I am getting 190 Mbps. So the problem is probably Peacock not being able to handle all of their customers 4K. Just another...

NBC OTA is broadcasting the Olympic opening ceremony in 1080 HD at 2 PM and repeating it at 8 PM. Peacock is also showing the opening ceremony at 1:40 PM and 8 PM in 4K HDR 5.1 I am assuming that Peacock is not allowing Dish to broadcast the Opening Ceremony in 4K HDR. I am disappointed since...

My feeling is that ATSC 1.0 is going to be around for a while. The Nextgen coalition want the FCC to sunset ATSC 1.0 broadcasts by 2028 in major markets but I don’t believe the FCC will do that. They are more likely to allow broadcasters to turn off their ATSC 1.0 simulcast at their own...

I am 73 and have been doing Cub Scouts for 42 years. I now have dads with children in my pack that I was their leader in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. It keeps me young. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been very satisfied with Dish Boost Mobile. I live in the country halfway between Plain City and Marysville Ohio (about 35 miles northwest of Columbus. I was paying over $50 per month for T-Mobile and my cell service was poor. I often had to go outside to get service. I have had Boost...
