    New Customer - Impression After One Week!

    The Autohop symbol was showing up on my list, but I have two unwatched shows under the icon - one from tonight and one from last week. And upon deeper look, I see that the Autohop is only on last week's recording, not tonight's. So, Autohop only happens the day after - interesting!

    New Customer - Impression After One Week!

    Tonight alone Blackish recorded with Autohop, yet Modern Family and Goldbergs didn't. Someone want to explain that one? :)

    New Customer - Impression After One Week!

    Actually, I am several weeks in now and I notice that Autohop is not available on all my PTAT shows. But when it is available, I have to admit that I like it a lot. I guess in my mind, I was expecting the commercials to just disappear completely for a smooth seamless viewing experience. So...

    New Customer - Impression After One Week!

    I wasn't knocking it...I just didn't understand why it is not available on all shows. Its not even available on all PTAT shows. I have since tried it and my commercials are not skipped entirely. I still saw a few seconds of a couple commercials each break. So, it is a nice feature, but because...

    New Customer - Impression After One Week!

    I am a new DISH customer...well, my install was last Saturday, so it is technically a day short of a week, but I have enough time to feel comfortable with the post. Prior to making the switch to DISH, I had been a Directv customer since 2012. My Set-up: I have the Hopper 3 Sling connected to a...

    Hopper 3 remote question

    I just recently became a DISH customer (last Saturday) with a Hopper 3. I also have a similar set-up as the original poster, except I have a Pioneer receiver and a Harmony 650 remote. I was able to program both the Hopper's 52.0 remote and the Harmony 650 to control everything perfectly. The...

    I sure wish I could find a backlit remote control

    My question - why in the world would they not have made the DISH 52 backlit? Such an easy thing and every remote seems to have that feature.

    I sure wish I could find a backlit remote control

    Just switched to Dish Hopper 3 from Directv, and have to say I love everything about it EXCEPT the fact that the remote is not backlit!

    Possible to cancel local channels?

    I just signed up for Dish and they offered my $5/mth discount for doing e-bill. Maybe its just for new customers.

    10 year customer leaving this crappy service.

    I just came to Directv from DISH and have found the product, content and service all to be upgrades!

    Dish HD vs Disney (DISH sort of won...)

    I reached my limit this weekend after having to watch two football games in SD on ESPNU. Called DISH and found that I am not under contract, then called Directv and scheduled my new install tomorrow. I sincerely hope those were the last football games I ever have to watch in crappy SD!!!!!

    Official DISH Channel Request Thread

    Watched to football games on ESPNU in SD this weekend and my head is still hurting....what a crappy picture...and all completely unnecessary! I am personally so tired of waiting for ESPNU in HD on DISH, that I called and am moving back to Directv tomorrow.

    New Channels

    Sick and tired of waiting for ESPNU HD on DISH. If they don't have it by the time my contract is up, bye-bye DISH!
