    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    I returned something once to Amazon because part of it was missing. Not listed in the reasons for return. They refused to refund. Because part was missing. I didn’t pursue. Cheap enough to write off.

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    Yep. Better info here. I wonder what the average employment span for Dish CSRs is.

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    In all fairness, we should acknowledge that the Hopper installations are a little more complicated than for the ViPs. Different equipment. If you get it wrong, it may well cost them more to come out and undo what you did, and fix it.

    It sounds like you’re right. Maybe the only, not the main, reason. I wish you well in your future endeavors.

    My Harmony, IR only, works with the H3 just fine.

    Can’t Dish remotely detect what equipment you have? Certainly see what’s listed under Menu.

    Terrible call to DiSH

    Gotta disagree. Mostly, you are certainly right. But sometimes the money and effort are put in to the up conversion. Thankfully, I am now CRT free. Got rid of my last 27” and 32” with a deal for help from others. They DID have superb SD pictures. Hated to say goodbye.

    Terrible call to DiSH

    Depends upon how much effort they put into up converting. Also, the TV. I watched a bit of Father Goose on my 2005ish Samsung 55”er. Then on my 2018 Sony 65”er. Watchable on both. Better on Sony.

    Looks like Netflix/Warner Bros. is happening. (or maybe not.)

    Letting Netflix buy a major competitor in a narrow field? Leaving only Disney as major competition? Not seeing Amazon as major competition. Yet, anyway.

    OTA has bit the Dust

    My FiOS has a land line function. They charge for it, and then credit off the cost. So I might as well keep it. Handy for providing a phone number to folks you don’t want calling your cell.

    Anyone else with issues yesterday?

    You mean the voice one they sent me and I never use? Not even sure where I stashed it. Found a 54 where I thought it was. Don’t use that one either. I have a Harmony.

    Hopper Plus & Joey 4 Install Question

    I had an owned Joey 1 (original, made of molasses). With the H3 I wanted to get a (then latest) J3. CSR refused. I said you are replacing owned equipment. She didn’t care. The most unpleasant conversation I ever had with a Dish CSR. Got no J3, certainly not owned. And they TOOK THE OWNED J1...
