    WCAX 3-6

    It appears it will be a new subchannel called "3 News Now" that will feature simulcasts of WCAX 3.1 live newscasts, newscast replays, and paid programming. Zap2It currently has it in their listings, despite no current programming on that channel.

    Dish Anwhere app remote control

    The Dish Anywhere “remote control” section of the app used to control the volume and power features of my TV. Somewhere along the way it stopped working. I can not change the volume or turn the power on or off anymore using the app. I’ve had the same TV for several years. Does anyone have...

    NFL Network / NFL Redzone

    I know I had it free from NFL week #1 thru week #17, the whole season, which was Sept 8 thru Dec 29 ... so, longer than 3-months, but shorter that 6-months ... Did you ask regular customer service rep, or Dish retention number?

    NFL Network / NFL Redzone

    I also have gotten it free for several years, but can't remember what "angle" to take to get it ... How did you go about it this year?

    NFL Network / NFL Redzone

    I was able to get Multi-Sport package free for four months last year, but can't remember how I went about that. I did an online chat a little while ago, and the best I was offered was $6.50 per month.

    Rewinding SD Programs

    When rewinding SD programs using the <10-sec button on the Hopper3 DVR, the recording will sometimes rewind several minutes instead of just 10-seconds ... sometimes it goes back as much as 10-20 minutes with one click of the remote. This has been a problem for me for years (sorry if this has...

    NBC Peacock App

    Anyone have any incite if Dish may add the Peacock app to the Hopper 3 receiver? They've done this with other streaming apps such as Amazon Prime and Nextflix--and even giving YouTube its own dedicated channel on the Hopper. It makes accessing these services so much easier when you can do it...

    Hopper 3 upgrade

    I also called Dish Loyalty/Retention phone number--I received all brand new equipment, pay about $30 less than I did before I called, and received free MultiSport package for a year for NFL RedZone … I had to agree to a 2-year contract, but I too am not going anywhere ...

    Hopper 3 MultiView

    Programming in all quads is HD when this occurs … and for the first two years that I've had my Hopper3, it worked fine--it's only in the past several months that it became an issue ... Wondering if maybe this was another instance where a software 'upgrade' became a 'downgrade' ...

    Hopper 3 MultiView

    I'm having problems using the "Multiview" option on Hopper 3 "Picture in Picture" feature … this has been an issue for at least 2 or 3 months …. One of the 4 squares remains active--the other 3 become frozen … audio remains in-tact on all squares--and I can switch between the frozen squares and...

    Cable Commercials

    While watching TBS the other day, I saw a commercial for a show that interested me. When I rewound the DVR to see it again, it was no where to be found—there was another commercial in its place. Anyone else ever experience this and know the reason behind it?

    Hopper 3 Shutting Off

    Yes -- it appears turning the HDMI-cec off has done the trick -- thank you both!

    Hopper 3 tuners

    I have a Hopper 3. When I go to the "TV Activity" option, it shows which tuners are in use. One of the tuners has CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX listed. When I first received my receiver, I'm pretty sure that at any point in the evening I could click on any one of the networks and rewind that program...

    Hopper 3 Shutting Off

    On my old 722, I had the "Inactivity" option on the receiver set to 4-hours -- so, when I turned the TV off, the receiver would stay on -- therefore, if I came back and turned the TV back on a half-hour later the receiver was still on and I could rewind the channel it was on. With the Hopper 3...

    Hopper 3 really this smart?

    On several occasions now, I've turned on my TV and the receiver is already on and tuned to the channel I had planned on watching ... This morning it was turned on to SundanceTV (I think I've only watched that channel one other time and it was last Saturday morning) ... Several times this week...
