Is it possible to view the recorded shows actual file size? I'd like to get some rough bitrate estimates. I believe if you transfer the show to an external HDD then it will show you the actual file size, but I'm hoping I don't have to do that. Thanks!

Are there any lists of what broadcasts are actually sending before it hits cable/satellite networks? For example, I've heard that the History Channel is only on a 465 MHz system so their source material is going to require a much lower bitrate to retransmit, etc. Also, are the broadcasting in...

Thanks, I understand. We are almost always only using one TV at a time, but we want the option to use different ones, etc. Anyways, the HDMI + TOSLINK (Optical) cable worked great. I have an advanced HDMI matrix switch that allows me to change the EDID so in order to only send PCM 2-channel...

Krell, can you explain? I need the HDMI to carry PCM only (2.0 channels), and the TOSLINK to carry 5.1. The settings in the Hopper I think are "Dolby Digital/PCM" or "PCM only". If I select "Dolby Digital" then the HDMI will carry 5.1 which won't work for my upstairs TV. If I select "PCM...

Actually... how is the virtual joey (PS3/PS4) as well? That might be another option for me... (except it's the same $7/month fee), but is the quality the same as a regular Joey?

We don't watch (or even record) much TV in our house, but we have several TVs because we use multiple rooms: Upstairs family room (hopper) Kitchen (joey) Bedroom (joey) It looks like it costs $7/month per Joey, but is there a discount if I want to add a third or would it be 3x $7/month? I...

Ahhh, OK! So is it a pretty good guess that it's "probably" coming to the iPhone? I thought maybe Dish was restricting it for some reason...

Hmmm... I'm looking on my iPhone right now and I see "Updated: Jan 16, 2013". That is interesting if the speed increase when streaming video is due to the new application... I thought it was the new Hopper that was causing it to start so quickly, etc.

Hmmm, what do you mean by "new dish app" ? Are you talking about the iPhone "Dish Anywhere" application? If so, I don't think it's new, is it? Also, what did you mean by "new servers" being used? (Sorry for the questions, I'm just not sure what you meant) Thanks!

Any idea why this isn't this available on the iPhone? I upgraded to the Hopper 2.0 and really love it (the speed is great!) but I was disappointed that the Hopper Transfers doesn't work on the iPhone...

Is there any difference in the standalone Sling adapter (for original Hopper and 722k, etc) and the integrated Sling adapter in the "Hopper with Sling" ? I've read that the Hopper with Sling includes a "Slingbox 500" and the older standalone Sling adapter is using an older version, etc...

Thanks! Also, I have another question... Right now my new house has a DirecTV dish on the roof. I'm expecting the Dish installer to replace it and install the Dish Network sat on the roof as well but what happens if he disagrees and wants it on the ground or side of the house? My current...

OK - Thanks for the replies. I was interested in Hopper Transfers which is why I wanted the upgrade. I already have the sling adapter for my current Hopper.

I'm moving to a new house this weekend and am getting ready to schedule "DishMover" to come and install a dish at my new house. I'm also VERY interested in the new Hopper w/sling. However, I just upgraded to the regular Hopper a couple of months ago... I'm not sure if the new Hopper is even...

Can the 1000.2 be used for eastern arc? If so, is it just 72.7 and 61.5?
