    Joey 4.0 Upgrade Request

    You could also buy one hook it up yourself and be done worrying about a sales pitch. Or you could have dish install one and when they are finished say Thank you for the installation but I am not interested in anything you’re selling . Or go to buy a few signs that say No Soliciting and place...

    Rumor? Eastern arc is being retired? (Yes its just a rumor for now.)

    I hope there is a work around. 110 and 119 were very difficult to get. I have been fine with the eastern arch . If it’s switched back with no other options that may be my swan song with dish .

    Roof Repair - Reinstall Dish

    I was at a house working and I noticed the dish was attached to the roof with no caulking or sealer of any type. They also drilled holes through the roof next to the dish and put the cable through the roof into the attic with a small dab of caulk around it. What a poor install. It had to be leaking.

    Upgrade from Joey to Wireless Joey

    I see I can pick up a hopper plus from EBay for around 6O-70 dollars. Are they plug and play or do I have to activate it through dish ? It says on the description wireless hopper plus . I also checked out solidsignal and they are 132 each. Includes remote and power cord . Doesn’t say wireless.

    Upcoming Contract Renewal?

    Why is a direct tv person making comments about using a hopper when obviously they can’t even figure out they are in the Dish Network forum . I guess the Direct tv forum is boring so he hopped on over here to read about something current not outdated like all of the direct tv receivers are . The...

    Upcoming Contract Renewal?

    You would think in todays TV provider world where you can get access from so many different providers they would do away with contracts and let the quality of service and products they offer with a decent price that should be enough to keep the customers satisfied and that they stay loyal. Not a...

    Upcoming Contract Renewal?

    I was reading all of the different agreements. Everyone has different prices. Why would you sign a contract for 2 years just to lock yourself into a contract that has you paying full price on the current package. Then you have a premier contract that has a nice discount for 2 years. If I was...

    Suspicious Connection to Hopper3

    I had xfinity and they blocked hopper attacks several times a day. Not sure if it was on there end or not just lots of warnings. I don’t have any programming in Russian so I doubt there is anything worth watching maybe Man vs Food . :)

    Need advice!!

    The guide is alphabetical but you can set favorites. I like the recently viewed tab it’s covers pretty much all of the channels I tend to watch. The local tab is good. I do like the movies and sports tab it’s very easy to see what is on and coming on . It’s definitely a learning curve. My...
