I lost my free rentals also. And no new ones have appeared. Tried to fix this with chat but after waiting for 40 minutes the chat window said sorry. Can't fix anything. They could have said that upfront instead of wasting my time. Otherwise, I applaud Dish for not bowing to ransom.

Has anyone tested this? If what should be local network traffic gets routed externally that could cost people without unlimited data. It could explain why I get occasional pixelization with the Hopper and Firestick on the same fast local Wi-Fi.

Maybe its time to give the Mouse House the boot. Cost per channel is one thing but to tell me I have to paid for OTA when I have an outside antenna is over reach.

My experience with the USB tuner is that it not as good as even a cheap TV. Weak stations disappear and strong stations cause overload. In an excellent signal area I was able to get it working reliably but only after using a 2-way splitter to lower the signal about 3db. In an RV you are...

That's what I am doing. Autohop works as before and at least in this market the guide is correct. Two things to know: The tuner is not as sensitive as some so it helps to have a good outside antenna. Also, the two tuner OTA limit may sometimes get in the way if two shows are recording and...

You can be certain that the entire staff has received instructions on how to respond to any inquiry into transmission disputes alone with the threat of severe consequences for anyone talking out of turn.

I also have the X900H. Regarding the original question/comment, each input has to be adjusted separately and if you did by chance select "vivid" it will look about like described.

Mute button for anything I can't skip.

Do yourself a favor and connect the cable from the attic antenna to the tuner input of your TV. That way you may see how well the existing antenna performs without any additional hardware. The tuner in your TV will probably outperform the Dish USB dongle adapter. You can watch local OTA on the...

Well it's ABC here. Good bye ABC and good riddance.

Well, add me to the list. I thought it might be related to the USB OTA dongle we use for OTA but the OTA channels here are prefect and this is also on satellite channels. As others had noted, power cycle the Joey doesn't help but power cycle the Hopper does. On U935 as of 8/7/20.

There is a problem using an SSD for the main drive of a DVR because of the continuous writing to the hard drive while watching a program even when the program is not set to record. However, an SSD should be okay for external storage. The speed will still be limited by the USB interface. Some...

This may not apply but I have had problems with bluetooth pairing that was the result of my phone grabbing and pairing with the device before the Hopper/TV/etc had a chance. If so, you might temporarily turn bluetooth off on other nearby devices.

A good way to "split" a composite or component video is to use a distribution amplifier so the signal levels remain the same. That is of course an added expense for the amp.
