    Report your EHD issues HERE!

    A few months ago, the 2nd (of 12) 512GB partition on my 6TB Seagate got corrupted and the whole darn disk disappeared. I have yet to fix that partition and have the Hopper "see" it again.

    FireTV Stick fails to authenticate

    I gave it a rest, browsed the app store and found it again, and reinstalled it. It's still at 2.5.10 and still won't activate.

    FireTV Stick fails to authenticate

    I just ordered a 4K Max for $30, so when that arrives it should solve the speed. In the meantime... Interesting ploy. Shall try that. Edited to add: that strategy does not appear viable since all of my Fire TV devices (of which I have none) already have a green check next to them. All my...

    FireTV Stick fails to authenticate

    DishAnywhere doesn't show when I search. I worry my oldest FireTV Stick is no longer supported. This is the old HD version; all the rest are 4K and much faster. (Yes, my wife just complained about this 5 mins ago.)

    FireTV Stick fails to authenticate

    Easier said than done. I see no option to check for an update. It's running 2.5.10. I'll try de-installing and re-installing and see if that fixes anything. Edited to add: It's gone and searching for the app again results in nothing to install. :crying

    FireTV Stick fails to authenticate

    I'm on vacation and I resurrected an old FireTV Stick with which to watch DishAnywhere. It's been offline so long it demaned I go to dishanywhere.com/activate and enter the code on the screen. This is the result: I can check my device until hell freezes over, but it fails to activate. Got...

    How things have changed

    If you're a stowaway! My 5 night cruise to Bermuda is costing me a small fortune. Then there are add-ons like Internet that are outrageously overpriced.

    Is Hopper 3 ipaddress public ip?

    The actual IP address that the Hopper gets from your router is not a routable address, so "no" that's not public. But the router itself has a WAN port that does have a routable address. It is likely that your WAN address is being probed from various dark corners of the world using the IP...

    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

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