    Dish "Pause"

    Just to set the record straight, I did NOT ask the exact same question Yraghw (the OP) asked. Yraghw asked "Can you do it during a contract term and if so what's the fee? I asked just the opposite: "Can one "Pause" Dish service if one is out of contract? So thanks to the official response from...

    Dish "Pause"

    Resurrecting this thread with the following question: Can one "Pause" Dish service if one is out of contract? Everything I've found here and elsewhere on the interwebs only speaks to pausing while under contract. I'm hoping someone who has actually paused while out of contract will chime in...

    Dish remote code to control a Sony XR-55A80J TV

    Well I'm back. HipKat nailed it! I finally got back to it this morning and I'll be damned that I didn't notice that the AUX light was lighting on every attempt. Pushed the TV button on the side of the 540 remote and instant joy! The Sony XR-55A80J is replacing a Samsung UN50MU630D. The...

    Dish remote code to control a Sony XR-55A80J TV

    I'm hoping someone here might have been here before me and can provide me with the 4 digit code for the Sony XR-55A80J TV. Dish's pairing method has been nothing more than a frustrating exercise in futility! There are 42 codes showing for Sony TV's, the problem is I can't get beyond about the...

    Alexa DISH Skill not working with Joey 3?

    You were partially correct, and your reply led me to the correct solution. In the Alexa App the original name of the Joey's location was there, but it was entered twice. I assume one was for the original Joey 2, and the other for the new Joey 3. I'm thinking the Echo unit was probably still...

    Alexa DISH Skill not working with Joey 3?

    I recently upgraded one of my Joey 2's to a Joey 3 only to find out that it's not working with the Alexa DISH Skill. I've redone the process of getting the code from the Alexa App on the Hopper 3 receiver, etc. (multiple times), to no avail. The DISH Skill is working OK with the bedroom Joey 2...

    On Demand "Watch Now" vs "Watch Later"

    In my experience it's the source of the On Demand that decides wether it downloads or streams. For instance every On Demand program I choose from Showtime or Starz always downloads to the hard drive. On Demand from the Smithsonian channel also downloads to the HD. Conversely, On Demand programs...

    Joey question

    This has been an ongoing problem with the Joeys on SD programming from the get go. I first noticed it on my first gen Hopper 7 years ago, followed by the Hopper with Sling, and now on the Hopper 3. IMO there will NEVER be a fix for this despite innumerable complaints. It wasn't so bad when DISH...

    Favorites Disappearing

    Same problem here, all "Favorite" guides have been replaced with the long list of VOD's. A "Social Media Representative" (DISH representative) at the DISH support forums says DISH is aware of the problem. Stay tuned...

    Go to: http://emantechnology.com/lookangle.asp Select DirecTV 1R/2/3 @ 101 and enter your zip code. The correct elevation and azimuth will be displayed. To determine the correct tick mark for the tilt, subtract the result from 90. For example, if the tilt shows 26.3, it would be 90 - 26.3...

    HD "movers" beware

    I have self-installed all my DTV equipment for the last 12 years (dishes, receivers, etc. etc.) since signing on with D* back in 1994. I upgraded to my Newegg purchased HR10 Tivo & Phase III dish in Jan. '06, (which I installed myself, naturally). Upon activation I was told by the CSR that when...

    East/West coast feeds in HD?

    Colfan, I know this won't help but I thought I would point out that 2 Denver stations, KCNC [CBS - CH4] & KDVR [FOX - CH31] have area grants (waivers) on file for your location, meaning you do not receive a grade B signal from them. They're not a problem regarding waivers in your case...

    East/West coast feeds in HD?

    Input the various addresses you choose into <D*'s DNS Elegibility Site.> and see what you come up with. This was originally for SD waivers, but now it also gives info about HD waivers. Not always totally accurate, but still a good reference. Good Luck! :up
