    Does the HWS slow down internet service?

    Joeys may cause problems I added WiFi adapters to my 2 Joeys because they were complaining about weak MoCA signals. The WiFi adapters solved the problem, but they do transmit constantly. Even when the Joeys are "off". I have them on their own wireless network so they don't interfere with...

    What don't you like about the Hopper

    The software instability is my biggest complaint. Lately we have to reset the Hopper every time we come home from work so the Joey's can connect.

    Help! Cannot watch protected shows

    I tried that. No luck. I even tried moving one series to an EHD. That didn't work either.

    Help! Cannot watch protected shows

    I forgot to add that shows that I protected individual episodes play back just fine. And my timers don't seem to protect anything when I check the protect recording box.

    Help! Cannot watch protected shows

    I have the Hopper with Sling and a couple of weeks ago I went and protected a number of shows that had episodes piling up. I don't remember the exact sequence, but I believe I protected them by clicking Edit on the DVR screen and protecting all shows of a particular series at once. Last night...

    dish network would like ideas on how to improve their product through the internet.

    Create an app for mobile devices, Xbox 360, and PS3 that allows us to stream dishonline content and/or partner with Hulu so that we can use the Hulu apps (with our dishonline login) to stream the content from them. Just like HBO Go, these services should be free to paid subscribers.

    Strange Remote Problem 722 + Sony Bravia TV

    Okay, I think I got the button learned from the TV remote (at least the dish remote responded the way the instructions said it would) but nothing has changed. It still cycles through the skipped inputs.

    Strange Remote Problem 722 + Sony Bravia TV

    I believe your TV was cycling through all of the skipped inputs and you only had the PC input skipped. I just got my 21.0 remote today and I am having the same problem. Unfortunately I can't seem to get the remote into learning mode. What did you do to fix it?

    616 has not fixed sleep issue with seagate,but...

    Does the drive ever stop spinning? If not you better start watching all of that content because your drive isn't going to last too long.

    616 has not fixed sleep issue with seagate,but...

    This isn't a fix, its a workaround. I have two Seagate FreeAgent drives and a Western Digital MyBook. I use one of the FreeAgents and the MyBook with my 622s. After a period of inactivity, both drives go to sleep (i.e. they stop spinning). The problem is the receiver cannot wake the...

    Has the DTVPal DVR started shipping yet? (Yes)

    Has anyone succesfully expanded the storage capacity yet? I would really like to get one so that I have additional OTA storage and tuners, but 30 hours just won't cut it.

    XMAS gift from DISH???

    I think that is wishful thinking. "up to 150..." simply means you will have at most 150 HD channels. As long as we don't end up with more than 150 Charlie has made good on his promise.

    Dish- A thank you our Loyal subs!

    I had to call support on Saturday, and I'm not sure if the person was in India, but she wasn't too bright. Remember, stupidity is universal. Just because the call center is in the US doesn't mean the people answering the phones know what they are doing.
