    Switch From Satellite To Streaming

    You could also just reboot the hopper from the Joey.

    Brand new 311

    My experience: I bought a Bell 4100 thinking I could put it on Dish satellites and it would update and work like a 111 with extra outputs besides the RF. That never happened. :(

    Can't record

    I can verify that I have recorded 2 at once w/o issue (except on SPARK with occasional macroblocking). Now you've got me curious and I'll have to test with 3 at once and see what happens when I try a 4th.

    Dish/Echostar 1st Quarter Report

    And every one of my calls to technical support at every level, even though I told the poor benighted CSR that I was happy with my current provider. Kind of sad, really.

    More and more streaming FAST channels on DISH

    It's fortunately infrequent, but still annoying. Maybe once or twice/hr. The sat channels don't do this unless a thunderstorm comes by.

    More and more streaming FAST channels on DISH

    SPARK channel 93-16

    More and more streaming FAST channels on DISH

    Is anybody besides me seeing vertical bars along the bottom of a streaming channel at irregular intervals? This doesn't happen on satellite channels.

    Hopper 3 Version 392 is Here

    I am having this macroblocking issue on one of the streaming channels (SPARK) that manifests itself on the lower 1/3 of the screen at irregular intervals. I don't understand why that happens at all given' it's streaming.

    Updated 2 Hopper 3 Receivers to H393

    My H3, just put back on satellite yesterday, went from H392 to H395 overnight. And unlike H392, my Joey has J595. The Joey remained at J591 for months. Don't see any changes yet.

    Hopper 3 Version 392 is Here

    For the record, I had to give up on my western wall mount and put the dish on the roof. With the satellite data stream restored, my Hopper is no longer crash-happy. Still on 392.

    Hopper 3 Version 392 is Here

    Thanks to somebody, possibly Brittany, the "no LOS" flag was cleared and I called yesterday and got an appointment for Monday. Via found an opening and sent another tech out this afternoon to try aligning my dish. Oh boy! The last guy was questionable, but this guy was worse! He actually...

    Hopper 3 Version 392 is Here

    I am having a remarkably difficult time finding a satellite tech not asociated with ViaSat. Any pointers or search terms? Angi is useless. Google is also useless. Yelp is useless. 20 years ago, this was not an issue but now it seems it is. 20112

    Hopper 3 Version 392 is Here

    Wish I had a signal meter for the dish/lnb combo I bought from Solid Signal.

    Hopper 3 Version 392 is Here

    I waited 5 days and called back. The "no LOS" block is still on my account and nobody can clear it. Today I spoke to somebody in Cape Town who claimed that she couldn't tell me who put the block on my account but that that person would have to take it off again. Seems plausible but I think...

    Hopper 3 Version 392 is Here

    I spent about 90 mins on the phone (mostly on hold) talking to 6 or 7 different CSRs. Via somehow locked my account with "no LOS" which is a damn lie from the pit of hell. It seemed as though I was making progress getting handed all the way up to account integrity (why I don't know) who...
