Like DWS44, I use the 4x FF for scanning through the slow parts of sporting events so I can catch up without missing anything. That 15x speed is too fast for my brain to process. :) I have a hard time accepting that 4x is gone for good without some sort of explanation. In my chat the CSR...

That's disappointing. I had my hopes up there for a few minutes. I can't imagine why they would want to disable the 4x speed. I wonder what the best way is to convey our desire to get this back? Is there a petition or something like that? Sent from my SM-G920V using the SatelliteGuys app!

I recently upgraded my HWS setup to a Hopper 3 and two Joey 2.0 receivers. My only real complaint is that I don't have the 4x fast forward capability that I had with my old equipment. A chat with customer service suggested that the lack of 4x speed was a function of the 52.0 remote. I see that...

The reboot didn't do it. MarkL@DISH gave it a hit and it's working. Thanks to all!

I'm considering updating my original Hopper to the new Hopper 3. My kids have some recordings that they would like to keep, so I decided to transfer some recordings to an external hard drive that I had laying around so I could transfer them to the Hopper 3 later on. My problem is that when I...

Searching hasn't turned up an answer, so I need to ask a question. I just had my 2 hopper/1 Joey installation done last night. I just switched from Direct, and they have an option to unlock the receiver for 4 hours instead of having to enter the code every time I change channels. Does Dish have...

Thanks for the replies. I'm not overly concerned about slinging content from the other hopper, but I was curious about the capabilities.

Hello, I'm an old Dish subscriber coming back after a few years away. My installation is scheduled for Monday and I'm getting two Hoppers (one with built-in sling and one without) and one Joey. My question is is this: Can the Hopper with sling stream content from the other Hopper? Thanks.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I had to do some more searching to figure out what these "barrels" were, but I think I'm up to speed now. Thanks again.

I just switched from Dish last week. I have one Hr24 and one H24 with the whole home DVR and internet connection. Due to my poor planning, I now want to add another HD tuner to the mix. Here' what I have right now: single coax from dish --> SWiM Power Inserter (P121R1-03) --> 4-way green...

I thought that the psip data was not used if you also had the locals via satellite. The receiver just copies the guide data from the satellite channel to the ota channel. Did I misunderstand?

Hey, I did a seach, but I couldn't find anything exactly like I'm experiencing. I have a VIP-622 with an OTA antenna connected for digital locals. I also subscribe to the SD locals package as local HD channels are not available in my area. Anyway, the guide data for my OTA Fox affiliate...

This has probably been covered before, but I couldn't find it. I currently have a DVR-510 with a superdish in central IL. I would like to upgrade to the 622 HD setup. Is the upgrade just a matter of swapping dvr units or is it more involved than that? It would be nice if I could just swap it...

Thanks guys. I could tolerate the bars on the sides, but my tv is a plasma and I'm concerned about the bars damaging the screen. My local HD channels OTA are often broadcast with the black bars on the sides. The signal is HD 16:9, but the image is 4:3 with black bars. The tv will only give me...

I checked the contour maps as you suggested and I am within the circle on them. However, I am in the outer 25% of the circle. I can sporadically pick up Fox and NBC with a little amplified antenna near the tv, but ABC almost never works. I seem to have a better chance at night, but they still...
