    Is 4K tv worth it yet

    If your new Sammy has HDR get the Roku Ultra and see your colors really POP - especially when watching something in Amazon or Netflix done in 4k. I've found our Samsung 65 inch up-converts the dish content just fine, plus we have a 49 inch TCL 4k in our bedroom that gives what I consider...

    Wireless Access Point 2

    Is this wireless access point you refer to the wireless Joey system? Anyway, I thought all the Hoppers, including my 3, did an update and restart every night usually around 3 am PDST for mine. Going to a wired Joey shouldn't gain you anything, wouldn't you still get the restart?

    DISH Debuts Hands-Free TV on Hopper DVR with Amazon Alexa

    Netflix isn't really a pay per view offering, it is a subscription service. The PPV movies that I buy from Amazon are mostly the latest releases plus anything I want to watch that isn't offered on Netflix or Amazon Prime. To me there is a difference and I can see Dish resisting losing their $7...

    DISH Debuts Hands-Free TV on Hopper DVR with Amazon Alexa

    Probably has something to do with Amazon and Dish both selling pay per view videos. I think Amazon PPV is less expensive than Dish's so Dish will not let both be offered in their system.

    Hopper 3 U349 Software

    We have the wireless joey system and it got an update early this am along with our Hopper. I didn't notice the number and can't comment on changes since we don't really use those TV's much.

    Is Flex Pack a rip off????

    We (my wife and I) changed a couple of months ago - just before they raised the rates - to flex plus locals and the sports package, and our bill dropped over $30 per month. So far we haven't missed any of the channels at all but once football season gets here I will be adding the regional sports...

    Recording

    I noticed after the Super Bowl I had a problem with the system being really sluggish and slow plus had a problem getting a recording to play. I did a power button reboot and at least after that I could watch recorded stuff. The system was still very slow to respond to any remote command. I did...

    Dish guide not scrolling channels

    OK - I think I figured out what was causing the problem. At first I made a new custom guide and added all the channels that were in my "Main" guide. All worked well for a day or so then it froze. When it froze the channels shown were always the SEC and Pac 12 channels. Last night I took the SEC...

    Dish guide not scrolling channels

    I've got the same problem with my "Main" custom guide freezing on the same page of channels - can't go up and can't go down to other pages. The problem started when the new 331 software was installed. When I first found the problem I found the all channels guide worked but my custom guide...

    U331 Software Release for the hopper 3 dvr

    Got the update to U331 on my Hopper 3 yesterday at 1:30 am. Now my custom guide doesn't work - it only shows one page of channels and that is it - can't go page up or page down, just one page.. Not using the guide I can still change channels up or down using the right pointer then up or down...

    Strange PTAT Issue Only On ABC

    I've got the same problem with recordings of ABC's Notorious. We set up a timer for this and ended up getting a couple recordings of How to get away with Murder which follows it. We waited to watch them until they were erased from our PTAT so still haven't seen them. Our recordings of...

    Can't Type In 5 Digit Channel on HWS

    Same here - the Pac 10 and SEC channels disappeared from my favorites. Bad timing since college football is just starting. Hope they fix this bug soon!

    Wireless Joey Question?

    You can move it where you want, but it needs to get the signal from the wireless Joey base before it will work. We have a two story 2,000 square foot house. The wireless Joey base is on the ground floor in the middle of the floor plan, and the two receivers we have are on the second floor...

    I got the dreaded "all recordings lost" message today

    I've lost all recordings once in my 16 plus years with Dish, and that was on the original Hopper with sling "free" upgrade. That HWS lasted a little over a year then completely stopped working, so all recordings were lost. The replacement HWS was fine until I replaced it with the Hopper 3...
