You can always put dish on "pause" for $5/month. That will allow you to try out other services(recast dvr, youtubetv, etc...) and see if you like them or not. If you decide to go back to dish all you have to do is call and restart your service without commitment.

Software version U543 eliminated the Dynamic Range setting. Prior to that you had an option of wide or narrow under the audio settings. Setting it to narrow would make the voices louder without having to turn the volume up so high.

For some reason the Dynamic Range setting has been eliminated, causing the lower output. We had a choice of "narrow" or "wide" which dramtically affected the volume. With it set to "narrow", the voices would be louder and more prominent. The "wide" setting caused the voices to get a bit lost in...

I see this as well. I also notice the color palette isn't as vibrant either.

If you're going to upgrade, get a hopper 3. The Hopper with sling isn't worth it unless you like waiting for things to load.

Do you have another 4k tv (your's or a friends) of similar size you can connect to the Wally and test for issues with resolution? That might help determine if it's a wally problem or a tv problem.

It says Hybrid Triple WA.2

The installer put up a new Dish. So I figured he replaced it with a hybrid for the HWS. How can I check?

Understood. I was thinking of dumping the hopper 2 and going back to the 722K/211K...but I wasn't sure if I can use them on a hybrid lnb. I found one example here that worked with a 722K. Would I be able to use two VIP receivers on a hybrid lnb?

Well I upgraded, sort of. Since I was a "preferred customer" the sales(?) dept said I qualified for a free upgrade to a hopper w/sling and a joey. So I went against my better judgement and took the offer. Was promised that they would waive the 2 year commitment(i asked several times) and of...
