    Festivus - Airing of Grievances

    AS for the HDR flag, at least on my pre-HDR Samsung UN65JU6400 4K TV, it plays all 4K content from the 540 Dish channels with no problem. On my H3 I often had to record a 4K channel and watch as it was played back at the same time, so the output from the Joey 4 appears to be less restrictive...

    Space X to Merge with EchoStar?

    Mine kept flashing a blank screen about every 45-60 seconds audio was not interrupted. Only about 1/2 second long but irritating. The Joey 4 did not seem to exhibit this quirk.

    Cold weather signal loss

    Not really, if the connection is tenuous extreme cold can shrink the center wire enough to pull it back from the connector. Make sure your stingers are adequate.

    Cold weather signal loss

    Could be the center wire in the cable shrinks back away from the connection in cold weather.

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    I had a stack of 500MB to 2GB internal hard drives that I swapped around between my 211s. While they were not attached, nobody could delete anything.

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    That would have essentially made it a 722. Don't compete with yourself. Back in the VIP622/722 days we had a 622 and two 211s. We could (with a bit of difficulty) swap the HDDs between the 211s (sneaker net).

    Guide differences

    I guess I am one of the "lucky" ones and I have given Dish an earful about their new "improved" guide. It looks like the only thing improved is the size of the preview image. They moved the description to the top and more than doubled the size of the picture, so what had to go - Oh just lop off...

    Guide differences

    This is on my wireless Joey 4. Is the lady that helps with Dish problems still on the forums? I spent about 45 minutes talking with Dish support about how much worse the "new" guide is than the original one. I have left complaints with several dish employees and perhaps if we let them know...

    High Gain UHF TV Antenna ideas

    Ranges published by manufacturers and/or sellers of TV antennas are mostly speculation and sales pitch. The beam width is inversely proportional to the antennas range, the longer the range, the narrower the beam width. This site (HDTVPrimer.com) is old (circa 2003) but it gives a good primer...

    Guide differences

    Yesterday I noticed the Guide on my Wireless Joey 4 looked different. Today the Mrs mentioned it too. Here is my H3 Guide. And here is the Guide on my wireless Joey 4. Previously my memory seems to think they were the same. We prefer the Hopper 3 Guide but there is nothing I can find on the...

    Adding another Joey questions

    I got the same song and dance when I asked for a Joey 4 several months ago, so I bought mine off eBay, had Dish activate it (make sure the seller gives you the receiver numbers so you can verify with Dish ahead of purchase that the receiver isn't leased) - we love it now have 4K on 2 TVs. If...

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    Looks like Dish has also labeled the 4 - 4K channels. 540-1 - FOX 4K 540-2 - FS1 4K 540-3 - ESPN 4K 540-5 - BIG10 4K

    Anyone else with issues yesterday?

    It takes time, but you should set up a password on your Hopper and lock out the channels you don't want to see. It's under parental controls. It lists every channel you are able to view and you can move them from the unlocked to the locked column and they disappear from your guide...

    Terrible call to DiSH

    But, the front of the receiver says "Hopper 3 with Sling".

    Hopper 3 hard drive

    IIRC the OS on the Hopper is a version of Linux , so you might be able to connect both the drive in the new Hopper and the drive from the old hopper to a Linux PC and if you can find the files on the old drive copy them to the appropriate folder on the new drive. The method you tried will not...

    It may finally be time to say Good Bye

    I believe you are misreading your bill. The reduced price for owned equipment is not time related, it is a flat price just like the leased price. $5 for an owned Joey and $10 for an owner H3, no time limit. The 24 months is the time frame of your price freeze on programming.
