    DISH Energizes Hopper Platform at CES!

    I'm interested in how the virtual joeys will work. Does it work over your existing home wired/wifi network? Is there a monthly fee? Are there limitations to how many VJ you can have? i.e. can you have 1H, 3 J and 3 VJ? Assuming it is reliable, why even have an original Joey (besides cost of...

    Raycom & Dish still quareling? -Dispute Settled. channels back 8/9

    Sorry if this is repetitive because I am sure I can find this here somewhere, but if I get the USB OTA and hook it all up to my Hopper, will the EPG be correct for the station I have lost? Also, how will the DVR functionality work? It doesn't work with PTAT, right? I'm only worried about Parks...

    How much is the Hopper upgrade costing you?

    Contact DIRT. I am all set. $100 and no forced upgrade in programming. I am still AT 120. I ordered 1 hopper and 2 joeys for $100 as an existing customer. First call I made said $300, then chat said $200 and upgrade to AT 120. With DIRT, no programming change and $100 for everything...

    How much is the Hopper upgrade costing you?

    The DIRT rep told me AT 120 is eligible for a Hopper. Breaker for me too would make by bill jump $15 on top of the whole home and joey fees. Would make my bill go up 58%.

    How much is the Hopper upgrade costing you?

    Is this right for an existing customer? Sanju (ID: 3MA): I'm sorry Will, you need to have America's Top 200 to get the Hopper.

    A CSR told me that Americas top 200 is required. Is that right?

    Questions about The Hopper?

    I am a current subscriber to AT120 and don't think I am under contract (been with dish for many years). I moved about a year ago so I think my set up should not require too much upgrade (have vip 722). How much do we expect it to cost me to upgrade? $100 for upgrade as existing plus another...

    DISH HOPPER SPEC SHEETS

    It showed on Scott's video the shows marked as recording in the guide. Not that that means much or I have any clue what I am talking about. I hope it records during prime time so I can watch from DVR any prime time show show anytime after it starts. However, I did catch him say, 'when I go to...

    DISH HOPPER SPEC SHEETS

    Thanks guys! I tried to be the astute reader , but guess I missed where it won't take up actual DVR space. I will turn it on and leave it. No harm really. One thing I would like to see, I saw in the video that you can save shows from prime time to your DVR to prevent deletion, but would like...

    DISH HOPPER SPEC SHEETS

    If I don't activate prime time anytime (a lot of garbage I will never watch and want to save DVR space) , can I crate my own prime time anytime i.e. just on Thurday night record the big four 8 pm slot only and still have the other two tuners open? I want to record the prime time shows I like on...

    ESPNU HD

    Seriously, Disney?!?! You want to charge twice for ESPNU? ESPNU!?! Have you ever watched a game on ESPNU? They use the worst (cheapest) announcers. You can hardly watch because the announcing is so bad. They make obvious comments, mispronounce names, missed camera work etc. It is terrible...
