    Hopper 3 Questions

    navychop, The four remotes I received appear to operate as RF, not IR. I did not know there were any IR remotes available. Since each remote is paired to its respective device I don't really see the point of IR. So, maybe someone can also illuminate me on that aspect of this new box, and...

    Has DISH discontinued the OTA dongle?

    Dare2Be and DWS44, Thanks for the quick replies. I can wait and we don't record the OTA. We live in northeast Texas and get the Dallas/Fort Worth stations, but when local events occur or there is bad weather, we sometimes like to look at the Sherman/Dennison stations. So, I will monitor this...

    Has DISH discontinued the OTA dongle?

    Good morning all, Yesterday I had a Hopper 3 and three Joey's installed. They replaced a 922 and 722. The 922 and 722 each had an OTA module inserted into them. When I asked the installer, who has been a Dish installer for two years, he was clueless about OTA. I stumbled onto this thread...

    Appeals Court Finds Echostar in Contempt in TIVO Case

    Iceberg, Yes, I guess I must have. :confused: I looked and saw a pinned thread that was locked, I saw this thread and provided the media pieces; if you would like to provide the link to that thread here I would appreciate it. If the threads should be merged, great. :rolleyes: Thanks, Phil...

    Appeals Court Finds Echostar in Contempt in TIVO Case

    TiVo Prevails in Patent Rights Case Against Dish All, I posted major media updates on this topic yesterday, they were removed because of a site violation over posting copyrighted materials (Even though it is well established to be lawful to do so as long as you provide attribution (i.e. a...

    Dish Asks Appeal Court to Allow Recording-Service Use

    Voyager6, Actually, even though the thread at the link you provided is nearly two hundred and fifty pages long, from a previous examination I saw a lot of opinion that was not at all supported by documentation, or clearly made by people seemingly without the legal expertise to offer a valid...

    TV1/TV2 Remote Tab Change

    KAB, So the number plate (for lack of a better term) can be removed without damaging it or the remote? And assuming you say yes, once you do that is it imprinted with the TV1 marking on the underside? Thanks, Phil

    Dish Asks Appeal Court to Allow Recording-Service Use

    Guys and gals, This thread is pretty entertaining. It is obvious that some people on the forum have a real hard on for TiVo, lawyers and/or both. :eek: What I wanted to do was lift some previous statements and either add a remark or ask for clarification. And to be clear, where someone...

    TV1/TV2 Remote Tab Change

    All, I have taken the TV2 remote and changed it IR for use as a second remote so my wife and I can both have one in our primary viewing area. Everything works great, but in another thread I asked if it was possible to remove and turn over the colored tab with the number so it is clearly marked...

    Spare TV1/IR 158926 Remote

    Ed, With the battery cover off and after flipping the switch from UHF to IR I tried that, pulling it off. Is there a release or anything? I even tried gently prying with a flat blade screwdriver. It had no effect... Thanks for any additional follow up. :confused: Phil

    Spare TV1/IR 158926 Remote

    Thanks for the reply. I kind of figured it out on my own. I was going crazy trying to find and buy an additional TV1/IR remote. Nobody I found had one in stock, including Dish Network, until I located one on eBay. I ordered it but continued reading and stumbled across a thread talking about...

    Spare TV1/IR 158926 Remote

    All, I have looked at the sites of some of the sponsors of this forum, as well as on the Dish Network site, and had a chat session with Dish Network; I cannot seem to find one of these remotes. In our living room my wife and I both like to have a remote so we do not have to pass one...
