    Lawsuits, Contracts and More

    Unfortunately, I live in central NJ, which means I get the New York locals. New York is the headquarters of all four major broadcasting companies, and if I'm not mistaken, since they are flagship networks, they are all owned-and-operated by each network.

    Lawsuits, Contracts and More

    The question is, can anyone guess if this lawsuit will stop contract renewals. Also, how long will this thing take to actually go to court?

    Lawsuits, Contracts and More

    Thanks for your response, it was detailed, and gave me a lot of information. Frankly, sports networks are something I really don't care about. I actually resent having to pay for ESPN when no one in my family watches sports. On the other hand, we are huge junkies of local networks. Frankly...

    Lawsuits, Contracts and More

    Thanks for the response. It really was a sincere question. I'm a big tech buff (but never really got involved with tech of TV) and I don't really know how most of this works. I really liked what the hopper had to offer, but looks like I'll stay with my current DTV setup while this auto hop stuff...

    I forgot to include this, but what I really care about is my contract implications. Will Dish let me cancel the contract and go back to Directv if this happens?

    Lawsuits, Contracts and More

    We've all heard about the auto-hop lawsuits: Everyone suing everyone. I know Dish is very aggressive when it comes to signing contracts with providers. I am thinking about switching to Dish, but I really don't want to be stuck in a situation where I lose a ton of channels due to someone like...

    2 Hopper Setup Question

    Exactly what I was looking for, thanks. Is there a planned update to make this process easier, or something where all 6 tuners show up when you hit red?

    2 Hopper Setup Question

    How complicated is it to change the link of the joey to another hopper? Example: Hopper A has all 3 tuners used. Joey A wants to use feed of Hopper B. I know it's possible to change the joey to the other hopper, but I want to know how hard/complicated it is. If you could detail the process...

    Just got my 2H/3J install...love it so far...

    Hi, I'm actually thinking of getting the exact same setup in my home. If you don't mind my asking, can you tell me some cons about the system? I know all the features, but want to know some downsides.

    Thinking of Switching to Dish for Hopper, have some questions first

    Thanks so much for your response. Just a few (I swear!) more questions for you: 1. Each Joey can see one hopper at a time, which means with the click of a button I can switch between Hoppers, and the open feeds they have? For ex, I finish watching a show on Joey streamed from Hopper A (Which is...

    Thinking of Switching to Dish for Hopper, have some questions first

    Hi, Current Directv subscriber seriously considering switching to Dish for the hopper, but have some questions about it first. 1. My home has 5 TVs (1 downstairs, 4 upstairs). Dish says I need 2 hoppers. Will an internet cable need to be run to all receivers or wherever the second hopper is...
