Thanks for the info as well. I have sideloaded apps before, but in this case how do you prevent Dish from auto updating the version back to the latest?

I have the same experience. I only use the dish anywhere app on my downstairs tv to watch dish. I just opened my firestick and the new app had been installed. Wow what junk. I tried watching a DVR recording of a NASCAR race and could not get through it. Trying to fast forward through any of...

Hah. Browser issue! For some reason Chrome would not let me add it to cart, but the old IE would. Thanks again for the quick responses and information.

I went to the link that you provided above for AirTV, and the adapter is shown, but it does not allow you to purchase one. Is there another site for these? I see the Dish dual tuner adapter is on Amazon for $65, but I would prefer to purchase the $30 one from AirTV..... I just got off the...

Kevin, Thanks for the response. I had read about a dual tuner and at the time there were heat issues causing them to fail. Does this device not have that problem or was it another device that had issues? Appreciate the responses. Fitz

I now this post is out of date, but was curious if Dish ever released a fix for this. I continue to have this problem and just discovered today that if you tune to the OTA channel, the recording will be fine. I did this in the middle of a recording and can easily see from the recording when I...

I have the hopper3 now so I can't connect my 211 up to my house satellite to keep it active. Doesn't work. I wish there was an easy way from your account page or something to reactivate your receiver without calling on the phone or using the online chat. It is usually a 1/2 hour process to get...

I have a Hopper3 and a wireless Joey. If I use the hopper to select a recorded show from my external drive, a popup occurs stating something about the drive spinning up. This popup appears on the Joey as well. After the popup clears , the Joey exits whatever show is being watched and goes back...

You have to contact dish while it is up and running. They have to send a reactivation? signal to the receiver to activate the programming. Hence my desire for WiFi, as I use the online chat to do this. It seems quicker than calling. It is still a pain. I wish you could just reactivate via your...

I am not sure why this happens as well. It is a pain to reactivate. I have a 211 and a tailgater that I use for my camper. I don't go camping every week in the summer so if I don't have it powered up for a couple of weeks, I have to reactivate it when I go out camping. Given that I don't...

Ok an update on the 'seek' timers. When you do a search to create a timer (my example is NASCAR again), you will get some 'series' or event listed to the right you will need to select one of these (it will not select all) and it will create a timer for that 'series'. In the case of NASCAR, it...

We want to hear how about your ordering experience! Ordering: My son did all of the ordering directly through Dish. I have been a customer for 18 years, so he was able to get the new Hopper3 receiver and a wireless Joey. All seemed to go well. We want to hear about your install how did it...

I too agree that this is a huge omission. I just upgraded from a VIP 722 to the Hopper3. The VIP series of receivers had "Dish Pass" option which essentially let you set up a generic timer that would record anything with the word in the title that you searched for. In my case, I set up a Dish...
