    Hopper 3 testing signal gets stuck on 180 of 192

    I had the same problem (getting stuck on 180) and another tech told my tech that it was due to the guide update in progress. Once the update was completed it completed the test.

    Switched to Dish on 7/4 already want to go back. Info needed pls

    The issue wasnt the install, it was the quality of service (both customer and signal). To answer someone elses question, yes Ive had HD for the last few years and no with DirecTV I never got rain fade even during really bad storms. The issue is that my signal was dropping during light...

    Couple of updates... The install company sent a manager out today and he took pictures of the AC wiring dmg and agreed that it was probably caused by the tech. Im supposed to fax over the AC bill on Friday when the claims person is back in the office. They also sent out another installer to...

    I'll dispute the charges on my Amex in a heartbeat and I'll still be sending them the bill for this AC service call. I called the day of the install so there is a ticket generated for the call.

    2. Cabling - So its done via backfeed, thanks. 4. Media Sharing - I wasnt referring to the ability to share shows between the different DVR's, I meant using the DVR's as Media Extenders so that I can view downloaded content that housed on my media server PC. The DTV boxes I currently own have...

    Looking to switch to Dish, confused on a few things...

    With DTV I have 2 HD-DVR's and 1 SD-DVR. I would need the same with Dish. Couple of questions: 1. If 1 box can control 2 TV's, how does each TV have independant control? (i.e. does each TV have a receiver?) 2. Cabling is a concern that I have as I wired the house during construction. Each...
