Agree the 40.0 is best. The 52.0 is OK, but I HATE the touchpad on the 50.0.

Yes. I use them.

Some techs seem to hate pole installs. One of the cases I mentioned was a pole install and he wasn't happy about it. It's more work and they probably don't get paid any better for it. They probably don't expect it, but if they had a "make it work" attitude to begin with there would have been a...

Was this a new install? Not sure if Dish changed you from EA to WA as an existing customer, or did WA as a new customer. Don't know why they would change arcs for an existing customer. No wing Dish scenarios are currently supported, a new DPH42 switch to be released SOON will be needed. Even...

Not really. If someone was never authorized to sign on my behalf, their signature on a document saying they are authorized doesn't make it so, but does add a heaping helping of FUD.

No. 4X speed was removed from the Carbon UI. It has nothing to do with the remote.

I think take up of 3.0 will get a lot of push back. Unlike HD there is virtually no obvious consumer benefit. The initial digital transition was delayed for years and occurred with a major physical change to panels and a clearly obvious SD to HD quality improvement. HD to 4K just doesn't have...

Apples and Oranges. Hulu is supplied the programs without commercials and inserts commercials if they want. From the court documents we know Dish MANUALLY marks up the commercials, and only monitors a single market. The data files that flag the commercials have to be liberal enough to account...

I think both are faster than the C61K. No doubt about 4k Joey, it's not quite the same as the H3 itself, but very close and worth the expense in my opinion (unless Netflix is important - currently vaporware on the 4K Joey).

Not rated does not mean not capable. Dish is doing the right thing in replacing the cable to ensure everything will work, but I'd bet 90% of the stuff they replace for Hopper installs would handle 3Ghz just fine.

But an H2K should already have 3Ghz rated cable. What the current install actually is is anyones guess, but if there hasn't been any issue with the current cable and an H2K, there won't be with an H3.

Very obviously, but still usable IMO. How slow is too slow is very subjective though.

I would agree, but that hasn't been my experience for any of the half dozen or so Hopper installs I've been through now.

After install, not much, but the downloads can easily extend a tech install visit by 45+ minutes. In theory they can be multi-tasking, but a lot of times, especially for upgrades, there's not much else to do other than stare at the screen. If not by internet, then a utility for the tech's...

Play-Fi is the music app.
