Thanks Guys, Turning ON infrared in the remote settings solved my problem!!

I just had to replace my Hopper due to an equipment failure. With the old Hopper I could use my TV remove to turn the Hopper on and off, as well as change channels. However this no longer works using the same remote and the new Hopper. I see in the Hopper setup on how to program the Dish...

Yes, it previously worked fine. I have relocated the WAP to be in line of sight of the Joey and there is no improvement. Picture is still all pixelated.

Nice to know, but how does this reply help me solve my problem?

I have a hopper 3 and 1 wireless joey. The hopper is connected to the internet via Ethernet cable. The joey shows linked with good signal. The joey network menu also shows 68-72 signal strength on the wireless signal. The hopper works fine. However the picture on the joey is either choppy...

I was going to order the AirTV tuner from Amazon. However I see there in ALL CAPS that it says not for Dish Network Receivers.

I've noticed a lot of blocking/pixleling on CNN over the last few weeks

With my bill hitting nearly $100 even after downsizing my package twice over the last 5 years, I am wondering what else I can do to lower my bill. How about dropping locals? I have a Hopper and the OTA gizmo. Will I loose the guide data if I drop the locals? And how about the DishPrime Time...

This only gets better. I contacted the retailer (through Amazon) that sold me the Hopper 3. He tells me to go on Craigslist to find an installer. Then he has the stones to tell me I need to do more research and he won't take the Hopper back because its already been activated. Perhaps he...

DIRT wouldn't help either. All they can say is contact a local retailer. You would think being a customer for 15 years (without any past due account balances.) would count for a little something.

Well guys the story is not over yet. When I get home from work yesterday my wife tells me a DISH CSR called her and said they were unable to find a sub contractor that would take the work, so they were cancelling my Hopper 3 upgrade. Man, FIOS is starting to sound really good right now...

I'm not upset that the company guy can't go on the roof, but upset that the person scheduling the install wouldn't have a note on the account indicating that a subcontractor was required. Or in the absence of a note, then ask the question "Where is the dish installed". To send TWO people out...

I just purchased a new Hopper through Amazon. When I called to activate it I was surprised to learn that an installer had to come out to the house to do something to the Dish. I missed this in all the Promo material saying how great the Hopper is. Ok fine.... schedule an appointment....wait...

I currently have a VIP 622. 1. Can a Joey be hooked up wirelessly, or does it have to be connected to the Hopper via hard cable? 2. Will my existing antenna work, or do I need a new one? If the dish has to be changed, how do the dimensions compare? 3. What is everyone's opinion / pros and...

I don't get you people that are complaining that your cartoon channel or whatever was dropped. I am sure there are many facets to the negotiations, but at the end of the day, the channels were pulled by CNN, because Dish wouldn't agree to pay what CNN wanted. Sure Dish wants to make a profit...
