    Hopper DVR records programs, sometimes doesn't list them

    Thanks, I didn't know this. I don't think I have this many recordings, but I'm going to check.

    Hopper DVR records programs, sometimes doesn't list them

    I have recorded several programs. Normally it works fine. When I search the DVR listing (A-Z), sometimes some programs won't be listed. It looks like they weren't recorded. If I do a search for a missing program, it not only shows when the program will be listed again, but it shows that it's...

    Does DISH/Hopper chew up a lot of bandwidth?

    We're moving to a new house soon and our internet connection will be with a Verizon LTE wireless router. I signed up for 20G/month, I may increase it to 30G. Pretty limited compared to the cable connection we have now. I'm having the internet turned on next week and I'll have the DISH turned...

    922 receiver weirdness

    The technician was a sharp guy, he solved the problem quickly. THEN, he brought in a box of things to potentially sell me, hdmi cables, power strips, Sling adapter, other stuff. He seemed kind of embarrassed and pointed out he was required to do this. I didn't buy anything. The whole...

    922 receiver weirdness

    The Dish is in the back yard, on a pole in the ground, held in place by concrete. No vehicles can get back there. We haven't mowed the lawn yet this year. We've had a lot of rain recently. I don't think any of us have knocked it out of alignment. I'll check the signal strengths tonight.

    922 receiver weirdness

    Last night I turned on my tv and the Dish 992 receiver was trying to locate the satellites. After about an hour, it still hadn't found all of the satellites. I tightened all of the cables inside the house, unplugged/plugged in the receiver, checked the dishes outdoors (not blocked I think)...

    Welcome New Members! (Please Say HI here!)

    Greetings. I am new here. I have been with Dish since the fall of 1996. Back then I moved to a house on the edge of town and cable tv wasn't available there (still isn't). I plan to upgrade my system soon.

    Expanding DISH service

    Greetings. I am new to this forum. For several years I've had a Dish 510 receiver (that I own) and service at my house. The dish is a Dish 500 model with old dual-LNB. For the past four+ years I've lived mostly in a different town with my wife and stepson though I spend some time each...
