I only have Hopper 3 (2nd one; 1st one replaced). We were watching channel 7.1 NYC WABC recording of GMA which starts at 7am at 10am. 15 minutes in we get pixelation then loss of signal then Hopper reboots. Dish can't fix problem. I asked them but it seems when they designed the code then didn't...

I can see why Dish is losing subscribers. And EVERY time I call they want me to use their new mobile phone network.

Does anyone have any evidence that the guide updates outside of the middle of the night light the middle of the morning? etc.

Too much? It's all software. I can't believe the machine does not have an event log in it on part of the hard drive

They probably didn't upgrade your towers yet. Where you located? Did they say it was unavailable in your area and they contacted you? The kept telling me it wasn't. Went into t-mobile store and bitahced about it and they said, here take it home for 2 week and it worked great. Two weeks later I...

I recently moved my Hopper from the 2nd floor to the first floor as we watch most of out TV downstairs and I eliminated a Joey in the process. I have had an antenna on my roof for I don't remember how long so I've been getting almost al my digital channels (I live 25 miles west of WTC and Empire...

I've read recently that Dish has dropped the satellite logo so as to be more of a telecom player. I've also read of rumors of buying T-Mobile, which would be good as Dish owns some wireless spectrum and ATT had to fork over spectrum and $3B if the merger didn't go through. I currently have...

You're a regular riot. BANG. ZOOOOMMM!!!!

Alright, I will. Thanks everyone. I think I can now proceed.

I looked at the link that "sparc" sent where it points to wiring diagrams and Dish's doc specifically says Ethernet is the preferred connection if Hopper is close to router

I'm kind of not familiar with your colloqualism. I assume by belt and suspenders you mean Ethernet and Coax. What do you mean the broadband is "filled for the Joeys". High utilization?

OK...great, so the question remains. Can the Joeys talk to the Hopper via Ethernet?

A couple of years ago I got FIOS installed and the guy did a crap job installing the cable and we got a leak in a room that cost us $3000 to basically redo the room. Nevertheless the wife is kind of not in favor of replacing cable (RG6?). We've been Dish customer since Dec 1998 so I assume the...

I have a VIP722K with a Sling Adapter and Home Plug. Works fine. I just bought a D-Link DHP-307AV which is essentially 2 Powerline adapters that run at up to 200 Mbps. I pulled out the Home Plug and stuck the D-Link in and it couldn't connect. Will it work? Do I have to unplug the 722 and...

I live chatted w someone in customer service and then someone higher up the ladder. She didn't know and said it would take 48-72 hours to get back to me. It's so neat they have a website to track it, it'd be nice to know how to apply for it
