I just tried to connect an eSATA drive to my Hopper with Sling only to discover that it doesn't work. I wish I had found this thread first instead of wasting 30 minutes on a chat with a support rep that didn't even know you could attach an external drive. I simply assumed the eSATA port would...

Thanks Larry, I'll give it a shot.

My apologies if this has been answered somewhere else. I am having a hard time searching for the answer. I am curious if anyone can explain how PTAT manages to record so many channels on a single tuner. Is it applying extra compression to those channels? Why is this possible only with the...

Yup, I did that.

Did this ever get resolved? I just upgraded to the Hopper with Sling and one Joey from a 722k. So far things look fine to me on the Hopper but there is a noticeable degradation of picture quality on the Joey (both are hooked up to nearly identical Samsung 40 inch 1080P sets. I don't notice it as...

English programming is only available for a small set of programs that are labeled J/E (see http://www.tvjapan.net/en/). Thanks r10fret I had never thought to try that.

It was not until I read the further posts on this thread http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/234408-satelliteguys-first-look-review-dish-sling.html#post2386321 that I realized that I needed to reboot my receiver. After rebooting the receiver, content now streams over my LAN. Before...

I believe that yes it does because you are accessing it through dishnetwork.com. I have a bandwidth meter on my router and can see my 2Mbps upload completely maxes out when I try to do HD. I see many posts on here about PC specs. While that can certainly have some effect, I don't think it is the...

Looks like this finally made Engadget

Thank you very much. I have been following this forum for a couple of weeks and have been trying to learn as much as I can. The satellite world is far more complicated than I realized. I subscribed to DISH in July and chose them mostly because it was the only way to get TV Japan (my wife speaks...

I just took it as well. I hope that I am not the only one that thinks $299 is an outrageous price for an add-on like this. Unless it is a full fledged DVR/Sat receiver with TiVo like interface simplicity, I am not paying $299 for it. I think that $99 up front with no monthly fee (or maybe a very...
