Agree with Ilokey. The first threat shows the monthly fee is going up by $8 assuming the fees stay the same. If you do nothing but watch tv constantly ( nothing wrong with that, a personal choice) and so many channels interest you why not ? Satellite tv is still an inexpensive option for most...

No tv, just OTA or streaming after u left? Dish is hard to replace. If u can live with an inexpensive package and just Hopper and maybe one Joey how do you beat that? If you have enough recordings you r ready for stormy days.

I was curious to see the picture quality between Dish local channel and OTA. Same show. I keep hearing OTA offers no or little compression. So, OTA should offer better picture assuming the reception is good. I get NBC local three ways where I live. Dish, Lexington, KY (ota) and Cincinnati...

You are in Southeast Texas. I imagine your county or town/city has a recycle program. Where I live, my county has a yearly event in October to recycle old stuff including electronics. Very handy. Check this web site regarding Texas recycle program. Hopefully, it will help you...

I remember seeing the same thing when my hopper3 was not connected to Internet due to not having unlimited data package.( Few years ago, before T-Mobile offered a great service for $50 a month.) I always thought it was weird.

Thanks for your input TheKrell. Always dependable. I appreciate it.

Thanks Jim. I will leave the way it is and move on. Maybe software gurus at Dish will give that option to us in the future.

Now this is interesting! It happened last night. Prime time recording to skip commercials. Recorded on last thursday. 'Law and order' show. Only the latest episode. We watched and I stopped it when it ended. Hopper3 gave me a list of different episodes to stream! The words 'on demand' were next...

I solved the mystery! Josh's recommendation works as long as the dvr created folder is not in another folder. When I recorded several different shows from history channel they were saved in folders under their names. (Unsolved mysteries, secrets of the dead, etc.) I moved those 4-5 folders...

Thanks guys. Hipkat: I open the guide. go to the channel. Slowly scroll, mostly evening hours. select a show. and record 'series'. I usually don't select 'new' since some of these shows are reruns and I want to record them all. Josh: I don't see that option. A hopper3 created folder named...

The wifey likes her History channel. So, I do a lot of recording to make her happy. When I check the recordings in folders Hopper3 shows they are neatly sorted by season and episode number. There are also episodes with 'on demand' feature. It sounds helpful, but.................. After a...

Are these available to any Dish subscriber? Regardless of the package they have?

Thank you for sharing this. You confirmed my belief that passwords we use for important accounts should be changed every quarter!. I stubbornly do that and remind my wife who doesn't. It has to be a habit. Crooks are always a step ahead.

Hi Wendy. Sorry to read your trouble. Can you give more details? Wireless Joey? Wifi issues? new bedroom has the cable from Joey to Hopper? the more info the faster our experienced members respond. Especially, Dish installers.......

I entered the address and clicked 'go'. The pin apparently kept staying over Topeka, the original location. I moved the pin between Lexington and where I live, the rural area in Georgetown. Then, it showed Lex stations. I live in a heavily wooded 5 acres. My attic is above the top of the trees...
