    Dish Booth CES 2015

    I was also at CES 2015 last week. Love the new eye friendly UI & remote they are releasing in June. It is a definite improvement over the failed 922 "beta" remote. Makes me almost want to come back to Dish. Not really feeling the 4k vibe yet. (They were demonstrating 8k at another booth...

    In reply to... Why I cancelled Dish -They disappointed me with their dishonest practices.

    Since the moderator closed the thread without giving me an opportunity to reply I will answer your questions here... -The hopper in the basement was apparently linked to 1 joey and the one in the living room was connected to another. I was told when it was installed that I needed TWO hoppers...

    Hopper DRM - Can't play archived shows?

    Well my situation is even better. I have 278 recordings on my basement hopper and it gives the same subscription error message on every program I try to play. On top of that message another one pops up that says event playback completed, even though I selected start over. Already called...

    Questions about The Hopper?

    so just got done with the 6 hour install of 2 Hoppers/3 Joeys. I was playing around with the features and went into the "Recordings Transfer" and noticed it says "Total space 500GB" ...Just a little curious since it's a 2TB drive (I know some is set aside for BBV, PTAT etc), but I have prime...

    Slow Guide on 722K

    TV 1 response time is painfully slow, especially in the guide. Upstairs on TV 2 it moves like a knife through butter.. So it is not a heat issue. Tried every suggestion I could read in here. My wife is about to kill me over this.
