    Has Anyone used Grande Communications (Local TX fiber provider)

    Moving to Texas and noticed that Grande had Gig Internet for $40 less than Spectrum. Also have a good deal on Double play 200 channels + Gig Internet for about $150. Im paying way more than that between cable internet (300MB) and Dish. They have their own branded Tivo solution and offer most of...

    How many hours of HD does the Hopper with Sling record

    I'm moving to Texas later this year and I'm looking over my choices. Not having RSNs has been a hassle, having to use a VPN to bypass blackouts on MLB.tv. So I'm trying to figure out how much recording time I have on my Hopper with Sling, I never use it all maybe dip down to 40% free when I go...

    Dish won't even answer their phones now / pissed football fans?

    Dish is horrible with sports channels especially, I'm in NY and I haven't had SNY (Mets) for many years (I'd guess 7-8) because they said SNY wanted an unfair amount and then recently we lost YES (Yankees) for a similar reasons. If it wasn't for the fact that my roommate is the one who pays for...

    Hopper w/ Sling just formatted it self and now recordings

    Did a bit of googling and found advice to do a hard reset (unplug) for a minute or 2. everything is back. I should probably back everything up to the hard drive. But would I be able to restore to a new hopper if the current one was to fail?

    Problems with Super Joey

    If you think its likely a cable issue, I will get someone to come out as I have the warranty on the account. Though I'm a bit busy of late so I'll have to work thru it till I can get sometime.

    Problems with Super Joey

    I have a Hopper W/Sling, Wireless Joey, and a Super Joey. Super Joey has problems with sound dropping out, stuttering, some pixelation. Don't think it has to do with the reception because after a reboot, DVR content works. I am however getting some readings on several transponders on 61.5 of mid...

    Type/size limit for ext HD Hopper w/sling

    Want to upgrade one of my 2 external drives on my Hopper with Sling. Have a few questions. What is the current limit on size? Hopper w/o sling was 2TB, is w/sling the same? Also does the use a drive that has its own power rule still apply? Third and final question are the USB ports 3.0 compliant?

    CBS stations return to DISH

    I am in the same boat, NO RSNs for the past couple of years but then again I'm only a baseball fan and a Mets fan at that, so personally I'm not missing much LOL

    CBS stations return to DISH

    Dish is stretching the truth on WCBS in New York. They make it sound like a technical difficulty

    Joey freezes video and then audio out of sync

    There is a Hopper W/Sling, a Super Joey and a wireless Joey. I did do a soft reset but not a hard one. The errors have cleared up but I suspect they will come back. I will do a hard reset and see what happens when it occurs again
