    Dish Website Log In

    The sad part is this is an easy fix on their website. They have the login button set to watch for text entry on the password text fields, and when it sees text being entered it enables the button. The developers should either turn that off so the button is enabled all the time or querie the...

    New Dish Subscriber; Only 3 Tuners On The Hopper?

    I do have to say this, it's very easy to spend other people's money. Just because a certain setup works for one person, that doesn't mean it will work for everyone else, and just saying yeah go ahead and spend more money to start and per month is not the right way to help people out...

    Dish anywhere problems

    No, this is an issue with the network, such as ports not being opened properly or something else. And cookies have nothing to do with iPad app. Yeah, I can confirm that if I get the guide to load, i can click on a program and tell it to watch that program and it will start streaming the live...

    Dish anywhere problems

    Ok, so I finally had to swap to the Linksys e1200 with dd-wrt, and my Dish Anywhere issue is back. It does seem that eventually it will work on the iPad, but then it will loose it's connection, and the Hopper NEVER shows connected on dish anywhere.com. Help?!?!

    Hopper Transfers over VPN?

    I think the hopper transfers is about the same as trying to get an iPad to sync over wifi over VPN. Doesn't really work. Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

    Tempted to switchd to Uverse?

    +1 on the PQ being fairly low. Honestly it's less quality than Netflix HD IMO. Internet is good. The STB would be better if it was faster. I liked the UI but it was slow. It was nice to be able to use an Xbox 360 as a STB but it took forever to load the software. Basically like doing a cold...

    Any Magic for 311 Hard Drive Failure

    If you have important shows on it, don't mind opening and voiding warranty on receiver, have a spare computer, and provided the HDD does not have special firmware and can be seen by a computers bios, you can run spin rite on the drive and it might get it running again or at least able to move...

    DISH wins a court battle (at least for now)

    typical, since the lower court didn't rule in our favor, lets take it higher. this will keep happening until there is no other appeal process.

    Cancel just for a free upgrade?

    If the iPad has issue, it will be covered by Apple unless Dish is giving away 2nd hand iPads. As an installer I bet you do see many people trying to get everything for free and will argue to get it. On the other side though everyone wants to save money, and if I could jump through a few hoops...

    Buying Hopper Equipment Instead of Contract?

    I was considering adding another Joey for the extra bedroom, and when I called I was told it would be $50 fee plus a $15 tech fee and I would have to sign another 2 year contract. Looking on ebay I saw them ranging anywhere from $50-$100 just for the Joey. To me, to take the time off work for...

    resume

    I have noticed this also. That's just one of the things that is a little "quirk" about the Hopper that is annoying, but still overall the best system I've used so far. I do wish that Dish would spend its resources fixing the little bugs like this first instead of writing a social app. I guess...

    Skip back during live TV issue or bug???

    Maybe I can explain this properly. When watching live TV, if I hit the ship back button because I missed something that was said or what ever, so that there is only 10 seconds or so in the buffer, I have noticed issues where the hopper will jump back to live TV randomly. Sometimes it won't...
