When I asked for an H3 without the 2-year commitment, they had me pay $100 for the privilege. I paid it.

Not sure about that. I've watched my hopper start a guide download at 3 in the afternoon several times, interrupting my program.

Yeah...sure. It's so advanced we can't even get the 4X FF restored. :mad:

There is no USB adapter on my Hopper and never has been.

I'm certainly not going to replace it for a message that pops up once a day. I was just curious as to what it means. It clears with a button-push, or it will clear on its own after a few minutes.

Almost daily, I get an "Attention 395" notice that states that I unplugged a USB adapter. I've had this Hopper 3 for about 6 months and have never plugged in a USB adapter, much less removed one. Anyone know why this happens? Thanks!

There is one simple feature that makes linear HBO the granddaddy of all other linear channels, commercial-free or not (especially if you're a movie connoisseur): They don't interrupt the closing credits with upcoming promos. When a movie ends happily, sadly, tensely, creepy, or with almost any...

Good luck with that. When AT&T ran fiber "down my road," it was almost five years before they put service on it.

Another software update that didn't restore 4x FF?

Know what you mean, Sam. If my internet connection was just a tad more reliable (we've had a heat-related outage problems for two summers...and they can't find the problem), I'd go full streaming. Your comment reminds my of earlier days in the 80s and 90s where my SD feed off a c-band dish was...

Understood. I only mentioned the other services to indicate that it wasn't an eye or TV issue.

You're probably right. But the fact that I pay Dish over 150 bucks a month for their service, I should get the best picture available. Shouldn't matter if I (or the masses) watch 5 minutes or 5 hours of a channel. If they say it's "HD", it should be HD. And it's not.

No, I watch those on a different input (meaning my eyes and tv are not that bad). But I do occasionally watch a game on Dish's 4k channel and it is nice and sharp. (btw...H3, Joey2.0, Sony XBR65X900F)

If that's the case, then why are my Amazon, Apple, and Netflix pictures pristine? (unless you meant that to be a funny)

I’ve been with Dish for a little over 15 years. Back then, and for many years off and on, Dish picture quality was iffy and variable. Then a few years ago, it seemed to be much improved over previous years. Now it seems, to my eyes anyway, that the picture quality is eroding again (most...

ABC on WFAA back on in Dallas

I had HBO/Sho already. She volunteered to reduce them without me asking.

That's what she said. I did not receive an email contract confirmation, since there is still no contract. She read me the final "disclaimer" at the end of the call: no contract, HBO/Sho half price for one year, $100 fee, no transfer of current recordings to new box. So I took it. Install was...

I had many of the issues mentioned in this thread with my HWS (by the way, CSR on the phone was more interested in reading her script than listening to my issues). So she let me upgrade to H3 without a 2-year contract, but they charged me $100 for no contract. I'm ok with that.

How do you go about contacting a DIRT member?

Nope...took it with him. Although after talkng to them, I'm not sure they knew it was there in the first place.

Yes, it was a dual tuner module.

Over a month ago, my 722k developed a problem. I phoned Dish and they sent out a service rep the next day. Indeed, the 722k had a problem and he replaced the unit. My wife was the one at home at the time and I didn’t notice this until later that night. The service rep replaced my 722k with a...
