    18 years and I may cut the cord!

    In regards to Sling and locals, I have an Air TV Anywhere box that connects to an outdoor antenna. It has DVR capabilities for local channels built-in, the channels are listed at the top of the guide, and there is no monthly fee. While you don't have an automatic skip, you can fast-forward...

    DISH presents new Amazon Alexa controls for Hopper

    I love these new additions. They are a good deal of assistance for those with disabilities. Now, I only see one issue left. I just wish that when asking for a show on the DVR to play, it would play the earliest uncompleted episode or earliest unwatched episode. Currently, it plays the episode...

    DISH Debuts Hands-Free TV on Hopper DVR with Amazon Alexa

    I understand that it is new but I just wanted to throw those items out there. They really are the only things that I think they need to add to make it a solid app. By looking at it is merely a perk, I have a feeling that you don't have an Echo or anyone in your life with a disability. I find...

    DISH Debuts Hands-Free TV on Hopper DVR with Amazon Alexa

    Then they should remove the ability to start a recorded series with Alexa. There is no point in being able to do it if you have to grab the remote and switch episodes every time.

    DISH Debuts Hands-Free TV on Hopper DVR with Amazon Alexa

    I'm not sure if anyone is reading these issues but I wanted to add a couple more. When you ask Alexa to play a series that you have recorded on your DVR, it plays the episode that was most recently recorded. It would obviously be nice if it would pick the earliest episode so you can watch it in...

    DISH Debuts Hands-Free TV on Hopper DVR with Amazon Alexa

    I just wanted to add that it won't tune to Fox Sports Midwest whether you say the channel name or Channel 412.

    DISH Debuts Hands-Free TV on Hopper DVR with Amazon Alexa

    It would be really nice if you could put Alexa into a listening mode in which it would stay on while you searched. You would say Alexa - dish guide and the blue light would stay on while it would stay listening. You could then say 1-3-9/TBS, 1-0-5/USA, 3-0-0HBO, enter and the Echo would stop...

    U 341 now on the hopper 3 dvr

    It worked yesterday after the reset but was giving me the HDCP warning again today. It worked after I reset it again but it is a little annoying if I have to do it every day. It did the same thing for a while during a past update so hopefully they can get it working correctly again soon.

    U 341 now on the hopper 3 dvr

    I did that just before I saw your message and it did start working again. Thank you for the quick response.

    U 341 now on the hopper 3 dvr

    I'm back to getting the HDCP TV Not Supported notifications when I try to watch HBO,Cinemax, Epix, etc. It was an issue with earlier software upgrades and it has returned. :(

    U332 new software release for the hopper 3

    I posted about similar issues in another thread but wanted to add it here. Something about this update has created issues with my Hopper and HDMI as well. I can watch a good chunk of my channels when I turn my box on but a lot of them give me a HDCP error until I reset it. Unplugging the HDMI...

    U332 brings new HDCP messages

    I'm having the same problem and I know it was one of the updates. My box and TV worked together perfectly until this week. Now I have to restart the Hopper every day or I can't watch a large number of channels. I can switch to all of the channels on a Joey and Samsung TV but not on my Hopper and...

    Ordering HD PPV

    I wanted to add that it also says that you can go to the Order On Demand page, type in the Order ID for movies on 501, and use the code. Whenever I type in the Order ID, it always gives me this error. "The Order ID you entered could not be found. Please check the number and try again."

    Equipment and Fees question.

    While it is true that one no longer get an independent SD feed, he can still duplicate the output on each receiver via the A/V jacks. I'm feeding 5 TV's with a Hopper and 2 Joeys. I just had to buy a pair of Nyrius NY-GS10 transmitter/receivers ($60 apiece). You could also duplicate the HDMI...

    NFL games

    I think DirecTV would have a lot more customers if they had single team packages. In St. Louis, you can currently buy a season ticket ($250) cheaper than the DirecTV Sunday Ticket package ($334.95). Why should a person have to pay for all of the games if they only want to watch one team?

    Blockbuster Deals for Existing Dish Customers

    The delivery system may be an issue. I signed up for a Blockbuster account yesterday and put a group of movies on the list. I received an e-mail today telling me to expect the movie on Tuesday. I sent a Netflix movie back today. I may not need to continue my 30 day trial if I receive a...

    Charlie's Blockbuster will love this.

    If you get one disc at a time, Blockbuster is still more expensive. They're offering one BR disc at a time for $11.99 while Netflix has it for $9.99 minus the streaming. The one advantage that Blockbuster does have is the lack of a 30 day delay on the availability of some movies. I suppose you...

    Why is ESPN now letter-boxed all the time?!

    Thank you for the info. Tonight, the HD feed is on 444. Does anyone have an explanation for why they do this?

    Why is ESPN now letter-boxed all the time?!

    Thank you for the assist. Listen, I understand that every game, with Dish, can't be in HD. What I don't understand is why this particular series wasn't in HD. The Cardinals vs Cubs is a big-time rivalry and I would think gets high ratings. On a side note, the Cardinals and Cubs game was on...

    Why is ESPN now letter-boxed all the time?!

    Fox Sports channels now do the same thing. It's a double insult by Dish when you can only watch a letterboxed SD broadcast of Cardinals vs Cubs on FSMW while the HD broadcast on TBS is blocked. :(

    MLB.TV/ ROKU Player (Not till later )

    Kim The only reference to a 90 minute delay that I had seen involves home market teams and national games. If it is on television in your market, it is not available on the Roku for 90 minutes after that game is over. All out of market teams can be seen live. Here is the MLB.com...

    MLB.TV/ ROKU Player (Not till later )

    I believe that you (tinyhockey) may have been misinformed. I subscribed through my Roku last year. They showed every game that wasn't on national TV live. Every game might be on a 90 second delay due to buffering but not 90 minutes. The bigger question is whether they have upgraded their...

    This cannot be good news for Dish Network...

    I initially had my Dish account through AT&T. I switched to an official Dish account due to the fact the two companies did not work together. I couldn't get any of the Dish specials or manage my account online. I'm curious as to how many lost subs merely switched from AT&T Dish back to Dish.

    Free PPV Movies for Current Dish Network Customers

    You should actually receive two coupons in the mail that are each for a $4.99 free movie. I assume that you could use the website even if you don't get the mailing.

    Free PPV Movies for Current Dish Network Customers

    It's not a big deal but it does tick me off a little. They charge you 10 bucks a month for HD and then send you two coupons for a free movie in SD. Would it not be logical to send out $6.99 coupons to those who pay extra for HD?
