Why use old boxes when the promo should get you most of the new stuff for free? Also be aware that the base swm setup that is installed is only good for up to 8 tuners. This means that if you get a hr34 5 tuner dvr you can only have 3 other tvs in the house max before having to pay the $600 to...

Any good fencing supply store or fencing contractor (not home depot or Lowes) will have all different lengths of 2" OD posts for chain link fencing. I just put up 300ft of 6ft tall chain link around my yard to contain 3 English Mastiffs lol. Posts were all 9ft long total (3ft in the ground)...

I had the free promo last year, probably going to cancel it this year. My team is local so I get all their games anyway and I really never used it as every huge game gets flexed to Sunday night anyway. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2

I have Comcrap for my internet as it is the only game in town since the fios rollout stopped when they were halfway through the neighborhood where I just bought my house. I get about 2mbps down at most with Comcrap performance internet, for the same price with fios where I used to live I once...

You couldn't access it because you were trying to do 4 things from one hopper. It has 3 tuners and all were already in use. At least that is my understanding. And that selling point of 6 things with 1 hopper is a croc. Technically you can with the ptat using 1 tuner for 4 shows and the...

I dunno, my receivers tune much slower than cable or fios did but it isn't terrible, I get a good picture within 3 or 4 seconds which seems like a long time but it really isn't bad. My Parents' Dish Network tunes just as slow so I know itreally isn't just directv. Sent from my DROID3 using...

If all you have is 2 months left just pay the $40 etf and be done with it... Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2

Ok well after this thread and more research... I would need 2 hoppers and 3 joeys for 5 tvs. It would be $199 for the extra hopper and give me 6 tuners total, all of which can record. Hoppers can't talk to each other yet but we can put them in the office and kids room where we don't watch...

What wha? I WAS going to switch to Dish from DTV and when I was, I put that I had 5 TVs and there was an option for 2 Hoppers and 3 Joeys. That was 4 days ago. Is this a brand BRAND new policy? I can't believe they would do something like that, I mean even the people who don't realize at first...

8 is what id have if I got a hr34 and another hr25. 5 tuners to record and 3 independent. I suppose a 2 hopper 2 joey system would work for me on a 4 tv setup... don't want to have to pay the $199 but adding a second hr24 would probably run me the same so whatevs... might have to rethink but...

Wow I didn't realize this thread would get so heated... so from reading more of this thread... any joey can see any hopper in a dual hopper system or is it just the joeys that are linked to a specific hopper? That isn't so bad I guess. Still 6 tuners vs 8 tho

That does kind of suck but I use the smartphone to schedule almost everything anyway. Plus with an extra 2TB over what we have now I can free up a bunch of space on our single one now so it probably will never be an issue. Now if the HR34 could be upped to 3 or 4TB of storage I might consider...

The app does have a selector on it, my DVR is named livingroom_680 or something, I forget. Yeah I will be calling these clowns and getting another HR24 added on. Then at least one external 2TB HDD to at least double up storage on the new one I may have a hard time convincing my wife to put an...

Rofl, one of my co-workers is MAD about this as we are stationed at McGuire in the local Philly region(Southwest NJ). He's a huge Penguins fan, has Center Ice to watch all the games and is just floored that he got blacked out on NBC. He probably is better off being blocked off from the pain of...

Ok so they are all able to see each other then? Do I have 2 folders on a main menu or is it one big list like it is now? I actually like the setup with the dual DVRs better as I can't ever see a 4 tuner recording conflict and I get double the space and I can add a 5th TV without going over the...
