    Info needed for Hopper3 and 3 wired Joey Installs

    Leaving Spectrum TV service, but keeping Spectrum Internet. We had Dish prior to Spectrum (late 2016 or early 2017) and had essentially the same setup...a Hopper3 and three wired Joeys. I don't remember how Dish was connected, but I need to find out if my cabling arrangement will handle the...

    Moving back to Dish, but have a few questions first

    Thanks to all who replied to my questions. Now for the most important question: Am I better off ordering online, ordering by phone, or does it make no difference?

    I am...thank you for your response.

    Moving back to Dish, but have a few questions first

    Thank you very much for the info. I think I can safely say that I'll be ordering Dish in the very near future. If anyone can help me with the azimuth and elevation settings, I'd really appreciate it. I checked dishpointer.com, but am unsure of the satellite locations I need. (110,119,129??) If...

    Moving back to Dish, but have a few questions first

    I'm not here to bash Direct, but I think it's time to make the change. As I see it, I'll need an H3 and 3 4K Joeys with AT250 package. However, before I switch, I hope someone can please answer a few questions for me: 1. Since changing to a Genie 2, the lag is terrible when changing channels...

    I think I need to change back from HS17 to HR54...Suggestions??

    Well, this took a while. Here's what happened. I called Retention and the rep told me that the computer would not let him order an HR54 to replace the 17. He sent me a replacement 17 which did exactly what I thought it would do...nothing! While he seemed to be trying, my needs were not served...

    Thank you for all the information. I thought that maybe the delay problem might be with the C61K, but that wasn't it either. I guess I'll be calling retention soon. I hope we can get this resolved, I don't think I'll ever get used to the delay.

    I think I need to change back from HS17 to HR54...Suggestions??

    Nope, native is turned off. I assume that when I change the display settings that I am adjusting the C61 settings. Is there an adjustment for the HS17 settings as well and if so, how do I find it and what should the settings be?
  11. Larry

    I think I need to change back from HS17 to HR54...Suggestions??

    No, using 4 wired clients (C61). 2 are 4K and 2 are not. I'll check the resolution. Oops, I never even looked at it after the installer did the setup. Only the HD & 4K settings are showing and they are checked starting with 720P. In all honesty, I don't see where resolution would come into play...

    I think I need to change back from HS17 to HR54...Suggestions??

    Thanks, I'll share the outcome. The easy route would be to accept the delay and stay with things the way they are, but so far I haven't been able to accept the delays. To be honest, either options 2 & 3 are the most intriguing. As I understand it, both Hopper 3 and Tivo Bolt will skip entire...

    Now that AT&T has changed so many things...what do I tell the prompt to reach the loyalty department? Trying to get there using a CSR is like pulling teeth! I assume normal working hours are best??

    I think I need to change back from HS17 to HR54...Suggestions??

    Several months ago I "upgraded" to an HS17 from an HR54 and 2 HR24s. I'm pretty much OK with having two less tuners and less timers, but the delays when changing channels and when skipping forward are awful (we time-shift most programming). So this is something that I really didn't expect and...

    Please clarify the tuner information for Genie 2

    Thank you very much. That pretty much makes up my mind. I thought that was how it would work, but it's always nice to be sure. I have no problems with my current Genie, but what the heck if they are going to upgrade me free....
