That's ideal, thanks for the tip! (Go Tigers, too!)

We're trying to watch episode 301 of the Walking Dead that Dish is providing on-demand for free. Picture quality is great, but the center channel sound is completely gone. I'm getting ambient sounds (back channels, etc..) but no dialog. We have 2 TV, both with the same problem. Main TV is...

Here's an update. After trying a bunch of things, I finally made some progress when I tried different USB ports (in this case, the front USB did the trick). Then - I ran into another problem. But, eddwall's suggestion above solved that problem. Now, I'm on to the next problem. I can now watch...

Every device in my house can connect to the Sling and see what's on the DVR, but none of them can play anything. I've now tested Windows and Mac, wired and wireless, iPad, iPhone. I've reset my hopper. Not sure what to do next. Is it even worth my time to call Dish on this? Based on the chat...

I plan on doing some more troubleshooting today. Earlier, I tried a Windows 7 notebook on the wireless network, and that failed, too. I also tried my Macbook over ethernet, same error (error #36, where it can connect but the connection was interrupted). This is all on my home network, so all...

I tried using Dish's chat support over this issue, what a joke. "Unplug your router, computer and Hopper, and then try it again". When that didn't work, the chat rep told me it was a problem with my ISP, despite the fact that I told him other computers work, and I also told him that I had no...

Hi - I recently added a sling adapter to my Hopper (with one Joey). I've had it for about 3 weeks. It worked at first, but now it fails more than it works. I'm using it entirely on my home network. It works well on our Windows 7 computer, but I'm having problems using my Mac and iPad. It worked...

Yeah - for me, all the other recordings I have show a progress bar at the bottom, except the PTAT shows. Maybe it has something to do with how I group my recordings? In any event, I'd score some points with my wife if I can get that progress bar to show on PTAT recordings.

true, but on non-PTAT programs, that progress bar shows directly on the icon for that program, no need to bring up program info. So, let's say I have 5 episodes of "The Regular Show" recorded. I can see which ones I've watched 100% and which ones I've seen 0% (or 50%, etc...) without having to...

I'm not sure if it is due to some setting I messed up, but I noticed that none of the recorded shows in the PTAT show the progress bar and percentage watch at the bottom of the show's icon, yet any non-PTAT show does. This is actually a really handy feature, especially for PTAT so we can tell if...

Day 2 with my 1 Hopper and 1 Joey to replace a 622 and 522. New UI is great, lots of small touches that make it very useable Both Hopper and Joey are a lot smaller and run cooler than the 2 DVRs they replaced Remotes are both RF! No more line of site issues when using the remote Lots of...

pm please for one hopper and one Joey

Don't make the mistake of assuming that resolution is the sole determining factor in picture quality. It is an important consideration, but just one factor. Be sure to consider contrast ratio, color accuracy and other factors. I'd take a 720p TV with great contrast ratio and color accuracy any...

its a leased 522. So, If I go paperless, sign-up for the 2 year commitment and forgo the Platinum pack (which I don't have anyway), I can actually save $10/month? that would be nice...

So - If I understand correctly, I will incur a one-time upgrade fee, but no increase in my monthly bill. And, it sounds like I need to hurry on this...
