    Adding Second Hopper for RV

    Thanks for the confirmation. So that leaves the Wally. Are external HDs interchangeable between the H3 and the Wally with an external HD? That is can external HD content made on an H3 play on the Wally after moving the drive if both are on the same account? Jay

    Adding Second Hopper for RV

    Hi All, I currently have a Hopper3 plus 2 Joey2s in the house (Leased). I own a HWS from a previous account. I have a Motorhome. Can I add the HWS to the current house account for RV use? I seem to remember reading somewhere, you can't have an H3 and HWS on same account. I understand the...

    Hopper 3 - Fan on, rest of Hopper dead

    Hope anecdotal evidence is good! Hopper 3 is due tomorrow. I am in a rural area, so the only TV I can watch now is what is still on the DVR drive of an old HWS from 2015 that was in the closet :-) Jay

    Hopper 3 - Fan on, rest of Hopper dead

    DId a chat with Dish. Replacement Hopper is being shipped. I have timers backed up in one of the remotes not too long ago. Shame to lose the content of the main drive (57%), but have most of the better stuff on the external drive. Thanks! Jay

    Upgrade Owned Equipment?

    I have a HWS, Joey 1.0 and 1000.4 (EA). Also AT120. All the equipment is owned by me. Is it possible to do an upgrade or do I need to re-buy? Desired config would be Hopper 3, Joey 2.0 and Flex pack. Disk could get swapped to 1000.2 or if the DPH42 is out keep it. Thanks! Jay

    Changing Programming to Flex Pack

    Not sure. Have about a 3 year old HWS with whatever it came with. Is some new card required for Flex? Not sure I understand why this matters. Jay

    Changing Programming to Flex Pack

    I was just on the Dish Network site (I am an existing customer) and was trying to change my programing from AT120 to Flex. There is currently no option to change to Flex Plan in the list of plans. It still shows the discontinues Smart Pack. Can existing customers change to Flex Plan? If so, I...

    Completely dead 40.0 remote - Protection Plan?

    This is the first broken Dish remote I have ever had. I still have Dish remotes dating back more that a decade from all old defunct receiver generations - Dish 4000/5000, Dishplayer, Dish DVR 508 remotes all gathering dust. Will try to hunt up a DiRT member.... Thanks! Jay

    Completely dead 40.0 remote - Protection Plan?

    I have a completely dead 40.0 remote. Tried two new sets of batteries. No lights whatsoever. I tried the remote reset procedure too. No response at all. I have the Dish protection plan. Are remotes covered? Do they charge shipping? Is the shipping more that buying a remote off e-bay...

    2 Silver Sensors

    Thanks! I have noticed that effect as well. When people are walking in the apartment above, I can lose signal (or multipath). I get almost nothing in the vertical position and have to use the horizontal position. As soon as I get some mounts setup, I can try the two directions atempt. One...

    2 Silver Sensors

    Well, I hit the jackpot today. I was at a local computer show and picked up 3 more Silver Sensors for $6 a piece. I need to make a mount for them and start doing some experimenting. I am starting to work on convincing the wife that a tall 4 Silver Sensor "sculpture" near the TV would look...

    2 Silver Sensors

    I wish I had the answer for you, as I have the same question. I was thinking of using an old A/B switch to select rather than combine them as I am in an Apt complex and get bad multipath problems. I can't aim my current Silver Sensor directly at the tower, I have to be off a few degrees to...

    HDTV over stacked (mdu) signal

    I just moved into a similar complex in Herndon, VA and have been looking into the same thing. It looks like it can be done, but they may need to switch out some equipment up front. Do you know what brand the equipment is? If it is Sonora, check out www.sonoradesign.com. Also search...
