    ES XXV Satellite - Maxar and DISH

    If they go out of business before it launches, can I have it? I've always wanted a REAL rocket.

    Help-Hopper wants to reformat my EHD

    My hopper 3 did that to me about 3 times over the course of as many months. After losing all the recordings every time I decided to just not use EHD.

    Getting bad reception from Dish's OTA antenna. Any suggestions?

    I think the official name for an "arrow shaped" antenna is a Yagi Antenna.

    Dish Local Package

    I tried to just get locals. The CSR said you have to get it as an add-on to one of the cores. ...so basically the 'least' you can get is Flex + Locals.

    'Owned' vs 'Leased' Equipment Fees ~ Is it real?

    Thanks for the clarification. You're correct the way it's written on the website is misleading (albeit probably not intentional). It also sounds like the CSR wasn't sure on it either because he was suggesting it didn't have anything to do with 1st, 2nd, 3rd, (whatever) receiver. He was...

    'Owned' vs 'Leased' Equipment Fees ~ Is it real?

    Considering the Move to Dish Network

    I've had Dish for 20+ years and overall haven't had any bad experiences. Yes, like someone mentioned channels get dropped for carriage disputes but that will happen with anything unless you're getting it from an OTA antenna. The people that schedule installs aren't techs so they don't know. As...

    Another channel gone

    Should have been called Zzzzzzzzz TV. This is a win. Frees up bandwidth so real channels can have less compression.

    Hopper 3 is rebooting more than 2-3 times

    This happened to my 722k years ago... Tried all kinds of different things (including swapping receivers) and it was a bad cable connection (rusted) at the LNB. So, yes, a rusty connection on the complete opposite end of the whole setup can make the receiver reboot. I say this so you don't think...
