    On the fence, Hopper with Sling vs Genie plus Nomad

    Perfect, exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks for clarifying.

    On the fence, Hopper with Sling vs Genie plus Nomad

    rad, so it doesn't delete the original source recording on the DVR (i.e. HBO, MAX) when you transfer it to the client? Like I mentioned, that's what I'm most concerned about for either system. If I transfer it to a client (iPad) and it gets deleted from the DVR, I'm now forced to watch it on...

    On the fence, Hopper with Sling vs Genie plus Nomad

    Good discussion, but can anyone who has either one (HWS or Nomad) either confirm or deny the specifics? Particularly "premium" content (I’m mainly concerned about the original series) or how to determine which ones will be deleted automatically from the host DVR. Again, that's my main...

    On the fence, Hopper with Sling vs Genie plus Nomad

    Grrr, :mad: I DVR most of the HBO and SHO series. Scott, is there any way to determine what is DRM protected or is it just assumed all content from HBO, SHO, MAX? My DVR is almost full, all of the time. What I would love to do is be able to transfer a season or two when I have to go on a...

    On the fence, Hopper with Sling vs Genie plus Nomad

    OK, I’m on the fence here about upgrading to either Hopper with Sling or switching over to Direct. I currently have a 622 and 211. I’m thinking of upgrading to the Hopper with Sling and 2 Joeys or Genie and 2 mini clients (plus nomad). I searched, but couldn't find anything definitive. If...

    New Hopper Model?

    I did a preliminary search and couldn't find anything on the forum, but if I missed it please don't lambaste me. So, I'm ready to pull the trigger and upgrade to a Hopper. However, in my search I ended up poking around the FCC site (yes, I already know I'm an incredibly boring person)...

    I got L634 on one of my 622's last night.

    I didn't even notice that one. I'm just happy that it FINALLY has the option to hide SD duplicates of HD mapdown channels! Too bad it happened 2 days before the beginning of the end of the world!!!! I knew that would be one of the signs! Thanks a lot Dish! :) At least we'll have it for 5 months!

    What, besides the old "more HD" ,would you like see new for 2011 from Dish?

    In no order of preference: 1. Option to hide duplicate SD channels when HD channel is mapped down. 2. Option to hide duplicate SD channels when HD channel is mapped down. 3. Option to hide duplicate SD channels when HD channel is mapped down.

    WTAJ TV (Johnstown/Altoona Pa)

    Same problem here. I checked the Comcast HD channel and it isn't stretched but it is 'jerky'.

    L617 Software Bug Thread

    I keep getting the signal lost (002) error frequently and randomly. It is not weather related as it also happens when it is clear outside. The message will not go away on its own...ever! You have to change channels, press the guide button or DVR button to get the video back. The funny thing is...

    Slow Motion/Strobe Effect?

    I've noticed the same thing with mine over the past several weeks, audio is fine but the video looks like it's about 1 fps. It seems to happen to me only when playing back a recorded event or pausing a live event (SD or HD) and can last 20-30 seconds. I don't seem to remember it happening while...
