    NHL Center ICE and know nothing CSRs

    Hello fellow satelliteguys readers. I'm a bit surprised to not see any answers to my questions in the note above. Would any folks with familiarity with Center Ice care to let me know about the current experience? I'd certainly appreciate it!

    NHL Center ICE and know nothing CSRs

    This is similar to my experience, though I moved to GCL in '11-'12. Now that I have a HWS I'm contemplating moving back over to Center Ice. The reason for this post is my big question: have they upped the number of HD broadcasts compared to where they were three+ seasons ago? Back in the...

    Hopper Upgrades

    I cut my evening short and we watched our programming live (/shudder). When I got up this morning I was able to create timers for our regular shows and to enable PTAT. I did not yet check the app status. Thanks again!

    Hopper Upgrades

    Okay, thank you for helping me reset my expectations. The installation technician suggested that may be the case, but that it was more likely to happen (on its own) within the hour. I appreciate the quick response! :)

    Hopper Upgrades

    I just had my HWS installed. Is this the thread where I post to get my guide downloaded more quickly (is that even possible)? I can't set timers (even manually) without the guide download, and my wife would not be happy if I miss the second week in a row of Survivor. Thank you (and my...

    HBO GO and MAX GO Now available for DISH Network customers!

    This is a very cool deal. I'm a recent HBO subscriber (Game of Thrones pulled me in), and justified it based on the HBO original programming. To have it all available for my viewing at my convenience is way above and beyond my expectations. Nicely done Dish/HBO.

    You are correct that this doesn't solve my issue, but I certainly appreciate the link to the free version.

    programming changes here?

    This does not work for me. I cannot toggle the channels to which I'm no longer subscribed. I'm happy for you if that's not the case on your machine, however.

    New Web Sling Player v1.5.1.118 for IE - Apr 2011

    The link to the .119 version is here: http://plugin.slingbox.com/downloads/msi/1.5.1.119/WBSP_IE_Setup.exe One must first manually (through the Control Panel) remove previous installation of the WebSlingPlayer ActiveX control. After doing both those steps, I do not end up with a...

    New Web Sling Player v1.5.1.118 for IE - Apr 2011

    When I first begin IE, and go into my manage add ons ? All add-ons, I can't see the WebSlingPlayer at all. If I use the downloaded file at the beginning of this thread to install the add on and then have it open a new instance of IE as part of the install process I see that I have...

    That's a distasteful, but appreciated answer. Thank you MattG.

    New Web Sling Player v1.5.1.118 for IE - Apr 2011

    I have the same issue as oberkassel, and I'm pretty sure I was the first in my area to have the 922 (so likely have a registry issue which needs manual clean up). I've always been frustrated that I've needed to download the websling add on each time I've tried to use my sling function, so at...

    programming changes here?

    I changed packages (myself, using the web) earlier this week and am disappointed that my custom channel lists cannot be fixed to remove the channels to which I no longer subscribe. I found a work-around for timers on those channels (I couldn't delete them directly, though if I changed their...

    Sling mobile for IPAD

    Yes, same experience as Scott -- ended up getting a charge in the emailed invoice.

    Sling mobile for IPAD

    This was exactly my experience: Already owned the iPhone version, attempted to "purchase" the $29.95 iPad version, got a message saying that I already had that application and needed to have iTunes check for downloadable content. Did so, and sync'ed my iPad. Now iPad receives Slings and I...
