    Questions on Cancelling Dish

    I am unfortunately going to cancel Dish, been with them for almost 20 years but the time has come to cut the cord. I had a few questions: When I call to cancel, will my TV service stop immediately or will it continue to work until I mail the boxes back to them? I am paid thru the end of the...

    Still no FOX in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale?

    So has Dish just given up and forgotten about us in FL? When the whole FOX blackout was resolved, WSVN Ch. 7 Fox in South Florida wasn't part of the deal. For the past few months my channel 7 was just a message telling me to contact FOX over the dispute, but now channel 7 no longer exists on my...

    Issues with Google Home / Assistant Integration

    Now that Dish has Google Home integration, I have been playing with it but have had nothing but problems. Hoping others here have tried and can share success stories. So far I can turn the TV on and "show dvr" but most things work sporatic at best. I have a Hopper and 3 joeys, and whenever I...

    I know Dish announced that sometime in the first half of this year, the Hopper would be controllable via Google Home much like you can now with Alexa. Anyone know an update or timeline on this?

    Should I get 4K Joeys instead of 2.0's?

    I agree 10000% I just had my install. Got both 4k Joeys and Joey 2.0...the 4K are noticeably faster. The 2.0s aren't painfully slow like the original Joeys were, but you do notice a delay from when you press buttons to when something happens. My recommendation is if you need a joey for a small...

    Hopper 3 wont transfer Timers

    Unfortunately it might have all been for nothing....we can't get the Joeys to work and now the installer things it's because we restored the settings & timers before getting the Joeys working so he wants to hard reset the system. Hopefully once it is all working I can restore again....sigh...

    Hopper 3 wont transfer Timers

    First we un-paired the 52.0 remote so that the 40 remote was the only one connected. I then went back into the diagnostics screen and did a restore to hopper from remote. After that step the H3 rebooted but I still didn't see timers. I don't know if they had copied and it was just still doing...

    Hopper 3 wont transfer Timers

    OK we finally got them. I removed the 52 remote and restored again...still weren't there. Then I connected the old hopper to the new one and did a "transfer recordings". Not sure which of those steps finally did the trick, but the timers are saved. Incidentally, none of the recordings copied as...

    Hopper 3 wont transfer Timers

    Tech is here doing install right now...I tried restoring the timers from the remote, the Hopper 3 downloaded the "backup", rebooted, but no timers! Am I doing something wrong? Is there a place to get timers from an old remote other than the diagnostics screen? Any other ideas?

    Techs leaving Hoppers?

    I have my install tomorrow morning and there are still some recordings that just won't transfer to my EHD. Some of them are new PTAT that haven't converted yet, but others (about a dozen or so) just give an error and won't transfer. Will I be able to transfer them from my Hopper to H3 after the...
