    Rumor? Eastern arc is being retired? (Yes its just a rumor for now.)

    I hope there is a work around. 110 and 119 were very difficult to get. I have been fine with the eastern arch . If it’s switched back with no other options that may be my swan song with dish .

    Roof Repair - Reinstall Dish

    I was at a house working and I noticed the dish was attached to the roof with no caulking or sealer of any type. They also drilled holes through the roof next to the dish and put the cable through the roof into the attic with a small dab of caulk around it. What a poor install. It had to be leaking.

    Upgrade from Joey to Wireless Joey

    I see I can pick up a hopper plus from EBay for around 6O-70 dollars. Are they plug and play or do I have to activate it through dish ? It says on the description wireless hopper plus . I also checked out solidsignal and they are 132 each. Includes remote and power cord . Doesn’t say wireless.

    Upcoming Contract Renewal?

    Why is a direct tv person making comments about using a hopper when obviously they can’t even figure out they are in the Dish Network forum . I guess the Direct tv forum is boring so he hopped on over here to read about something current not outdated like all of the direct tv receivers are . The...
