I just called and had no trouble getting the deal, but I already have a Hopper.

This has happened to me several times. After a while, I found that adding too many channels to a Favorites list would trigger the behavior you describe. I don't remember exactly, but it seems like getting the list down to only about 120 or 125 channels would fix the problem.

I just got an email stating that Epix is rebranding as MGM+. Epix subscribers will automatically be enrolled in the rebranded service.

That's the amount I give, and pretty much the same wording I use. They always tell me I "don't have to do that", but I gently insist.

Looks like NE Louisiana will lose KTVE, our local NBC station. Not happy.

My wife and I were big on the apps because it made switching to other services and then back to Dish so easy. We were very happy with the addition of the Netflix and Amazon Prime apps, because with our old TV we would have to hit the TV button on the Dish remote, then hit the Input button to...

I just called the number the CSR from the Chat Room gave me yesterday. You got a better deal than I, but I did get a $24 monthly reduction for signing another 2-year contract. I talked through the value of the Dish Silver protection plan with the CSR (she brought it up), and decided to drop that...

I just tried this link, and it takes me to the same chat room that I just exited. My CSR was also unable to help, and gave me a phone number to call.

Hmm. I just signed up for HBO/Cinemax for $5, and Showtime for $5, but they only extended the offer for THREE months instead of six. Still, a good deal that I wouldn't have thought to ask for without posts like this from this great community!

I had the same problem as you with Dish reporting that my recordings were "not available". A soft reboot didn't help, so I tried a hard reset this morning. That seemed to fix the problem, but now I don't know whether they would have shown up on their own, anyway. Still, just glad to have them...

About 4 months ago, I was given the same information from Dish support telling me I couldn't upgrade to the H3. I did go to the upgrade threat in the Hopper zone to request information on an upgrade. It took a day or two, but someone from the DIRT team followed up and I had the new Hopper within...

I would like to swap out a Hopper with Sling for a Hopper 3. Just chatted with Dish's Tech support, and to my surprise they said that "Hopper 3 is not compatible with your satellites in your area"; however, they couldn't provide any details. Curious to see what the problem is, if there is one...

Yes, I looked it up after I had posted. I'll try going through DIRT to see if they can either get me set up or at least explain better what the problem is.

Ah, this must be my problem as well. Just finished chatting with Tech support and was told that "Hopper 3 is not compatible" with the satellites in my area (north Louisiana). However, he couldn't give me any details. Makes more sense that the new setup (for some reason) won't see the satellite...

Similar thing happened to us recently. You are about to have to replace your unit; I'm guessing that sooner rather than later it won't complete the boot up process.
