    Is Dish heading towards dropping locals?

    I've been getting a lot of emails from Dish lately pushing saving money by dropping locals through Dish and getting a free OTA antenna installed by Dish. Just wondering if Dish is heading towards phasing out carrying locals. Big problem I see, at least in my area, is OTA guide data is pretty...

    Mesh Router

    I've been using the Plume system for over a year (Plume Home WiFi). I find the system absolutely great. Big bonus feature I find is that there is no need to setup a guest network. Just by assigning different passwords you can give guests, full access to your network, access to specific...

    Need to extend USB for Hopper3 OTA dongle

    Have you considered an active repeater. Monoprice has some reasonably priced ones and I've used a 50' one for a scanner hookup with no performance issues. Monoprice USB-A to USB-A Female 2.0 Extension Cable - Active, 28/24AWG, Repeater, Kinect & PS3 Move Compatible, Black, 32ft - Monoprice.com

    New Dual Tuner OTA Adapter

    Or maybe Dish isn't happy with them either and is seeking another manufacturer.

    New Dual Tuner OTA Adapter

    I know I called Dish about it and they said they could not comments on products they don't sell directly and had no information on when they would even have the item. I wish Dish did sell it directly only because all the current retailers are marking it up at least $10 over Dish's MSRP.

    New Dual Tuner OTA Adapter

    I wonder if Dish realized there is a hardware problem and sent it back to the drawing board. Would explain why Dish no longer offers it for sale and their response to availability questions is they don't know when they will have it again.

    Has the Search functionality changed on the Hopper 3?

    On the results screen, do you have tabs at the top? If so switch over to the tab that is labeled episodes and you should get your info.

    HopperGo Won't Connect

    Looking at pic 1, it shows you connected to the HopperGO WiFi network. You can't transfer shows while connected to the HopperGo WIFI network. Your HopperGo needs to be connected to your received via USB and you need to be connected to your local Wifi network and not the HopperGo WiFI network.

    HopperGo Won't Connect

    It looks like your mobile device is connected to the HopperGo Network. You cannot transfer to a HopperGo while connected to its network. The HopperGo needs to be connected via USB to your Hopper. The mobile device needs to be connected to the Hopper via the DishAnywhere App on your regular...

    Hopper3 / Joey LAN Wiring Question

    So I've seen the suggested wiring diagrams, but I have a question. With my old 2-Hopper 2's and 3 Joey's, I had each hardware device connected directly to a hardwired lan connection. When I upgrade to my current Hopper 3 and 4 Joey setup I kept this same setup with each device connected to a...

    Subchannel OTA Guide Data - Dish's Criteria

    I may the odd one out, but I'd be willing to pay a buck or two for guide data if it covered all OTA channels, not just a selected few. Here in LA we have well over 100 OTA channels. Altho' a lot of them are international or shopping programming that I have no interest in, there are still many...

    Subchannel OTA Guide Data - Dish's Criteria

    I guess I should be glad we get as many here as we do then.

    Subchannel OTA Guide Data - Dish's Criteria

    Anyone have a clue as to what criteria Dish uses in deciding whether or not to carry OTA subchannel guide data? I can't complain too much as Dish does carry a good amount of subchannel data in my area but there are some OTA networks that I would like to see guide data for (Comet TV, Heroes and...

    Hopper2, Carbon Observations, Mixed UI Environment

    Funny thing is I only installed the Carbon UI because I bought a Hopper GO. Don't understand why dish would sell a product that required beta software to work.

    Hopper2, Carbon Observations, Mixed UI Environment

    Just some observations with my experience after downloading the Carbon UI to my Hopper2's. Some of this may have been covered in other posts that I missed. When installed on just one of the Hoppers everything seemed to work fine after installing on a 2nd Hopper everything went downhill. I'm...
