    Hopper 3 - Corrupted Recordings - Error 04

    Yeah, I'm having the same problem, but only with 2 shows. "Better Call Saul" and "Join or Die" have both failed the past 2 weeks. Those are the only ones so far. Other shows on AMC record fine ( of course I've started watching those wile it was still recording). "join or Die" I've tried to pick...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    Ok, it's been said before, but I just looked at the AMC website and I'm no longer seeing the "Not Available on Dish" thing on the Walking Dead page. Also the www.keepamcnetworks.com/ website is now pointing at the AMC Network's homepage with no mention of dropping Dish. I know the "Not...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I was thinking the same thing. Right now I'm really thinking about dropping from 250 down to 120 and picking up the shows that I'll miss online. Some things I can catch on Netflix which I already have (I'll just have to wait a little longer) of if I don't want to wait, just get them from Amazon...

    Satellite and storms

    The picture of the Arecibo Observatory. I think it was used in a Bond movie, but I'm not sure which. As an aside, I think I need to install one of those on my roof to get EA. Back when I had my dish 500 hooked up, I thought all those people complaining about satellite going out every time it...

    DISHOnline testing legit?

    Was this you: First of all if this was a real request it wouldn't be going to a gmail account. This has the words SCAM written all over it. Secondly, it would have been sent out in a BCC type email. You proved you weren't going to send it BCC by saying do not use reply to all. Oooopps...

    DISHOnline testing legit?

    I just got it too. It was sent to one of the two emails I used to request an invite to DishOnline. The other email address hasn't gotten anything yet. But I have noticed an uptick in SPAM to the first email address in the past couple weeks including several to sign up for Dish service. Great...

    I'm making the move from a VIP 211 to a DVR

    I'm about to replace my 625's with 211k's + EHD. According to the DVR Conversion User Guide (PDF warning) it can be used to pause live TV just like a real DVR. It only has one satellite tuner but has an OTA turner, so you could record one show OTA while watching a show on satellite. If you...

    Cost to hook up an additional TV?

    Not to hijack the thread, but I want to make sure I'm right about something. I'm about to replace my 2 625's with 3 211k's + HDD. It's my understanding that they aren't subject to the $6/mo DVR fee. Am I correct on that?
