Please, don’t give him ideas.

Here’s a blast from the past. I was cleaning out office (many years of clutter) and found a brand new in box, never been opened, never been used Dish Network 311 Receiver (2003 vintage)! I have no idea why I have this thing!?!? I can only guess that Dish sent to me to replace one of my old 501s...

My bad. I've only been skimming the details and it seemed it was just about a DIRECTV receiver. So much for flash reading comprehension.

This thread should be moved to the DIRECTV forum.

I agree. As i said earlier, it never hurts to have another pair of eyes. And in this case I haven’t put in the proper grounding yet (it was a quick install and align). So I’ll let the installer do the grounding for me.

Good advice, it’s always good to have another pair of eyes. Thanks.

I have a question for you installers out there. I’m moving to a new address in a week. When calling Dish to change my service address, they insisted on sending out a technician for the move “install”. The issue is that I’ve already moved the dish and recorders to the new address and whole system...

Thanks Bobby. And just to be clear, the 4kJ UI can be put into “classic” mode instead of using “tile” mode, correct?

Yes, I was confusing them a bit. And the wording of my questions was a little vague. Let me try asking less obtusely. I have a H3 with the Appearance settings set to “classic” for both the Home Screen and Theme preferences. I have no interest in 4k video or Android apps, so those don’t play a...

Four more questions: 1. Is the 4k (wired) faster than the J3 (in the guide, menus, etc.)? I don’t care about 4k video, just speed for better ease of use. 2. Does the 4k have the same UI as the H3, or is it like the H+? 3. Does the 4k run Android apps like the H+? 4. Are there any known...

What is the minimum coax cable requirements for a Joey 3? Will RG59 work?

Is your DVR disk getting full? Shows can be auto deleted if not marked “Protected” and the DVR disk is getting full. The DVR recordings screen has a green percentage bar that show how full the H3 thinks the DVR disk is.

This is not a new problem, and has been discussed at length on other threads. It’s been around for a year or more. It affects some people but not others. And even those that do see it don’t see it consistently. I myself get it on occasion (H3 and H392). I have found that his happens more...

FSK is only used in MoCA communications between devices on the local coax, and has nothing to do with the satellite signals. I think I'm beginning to understand DPH now, it's all in the acronym of "hybrid". It appears a DPH LNBF is a configurable LNBF as four LNBFs in one, DP, DPP, DPX, and...

Fantastic information. Thanks a lot. However, I think you got your DPZ/DPX group labels backwards. DPZ appears to be for Hopper3s (owning to the 16 (18) simultaneous channels), DPX appears to be for the earlier Hopper1s, Wallys (single tuner), and Hopper2s (three tuners). Is that correct...
