    Hopper 3 reset timer?

    My Hopper 3 resets at random times almost daily. Changing the timer value seems to change the time of day that the reset occurs, but it doesn't follow the setting. For instance, I had the timer set for 0100 hrs and the reset was happening between 0600 and 1000. So I change the timer to 0400, now...

    217 GRIT ?

    The channel card on the Dish web site says it's HD. All I see is SD that is cropped and I can't get full screen. Any advice? Thanks, Eric

    Hopper3 CC problem

    I'm aware. The settings change but the displayed CC remains opaque.

    Hopper3 CC problem

    Is there a way to get back control of the CC on the Hopper3? I used to be able to have the background of the caption box at 50% opacity, Now it is 100% all the time . SW ver U544.

    New to EA

    I recently returned to Dish and have a Hopper 3 and a new dish pointed at the eastern arc. Last time I had Dish, everyone was on 119/110 and the signal strengths were all in the high 90s. Very few rain fades. Now on EA, rain fades seem much more frequent and signal strengths seem low. Ranging...

    should I consider buying a Winegard 76cm?

    Won't the Winegard dish cost more than a service call?

    Dish or Directv

    Since the ATT merger, Direct customer service has gone down hill fast

    Cubs bangor me

    WABI (ch 5, CBS) and Dish are in disagreement about carriage and CBS is not currently available to Dish subscribers in the Bangor DMA.

    It happens.

    Can DIRT confirm Dish working on WMUR?

    The trick is to get legislative intent turned in to FCC rules and policy. The .gov moves at a generally glacial pace.

    RSNs still part-time HD?

    Does Dish still only do game time HD on the RSNs (specificlly NESN). Thats the main reason I left, and now considering a return, but not if I'd get SD RedSox games without warning. Thanks, Eric

    Any chance more space added for RSN's on Wednesday??

    Clearly the best approach. Dish is going to do whatever they feel like doing. I was a "loyal subscriber" from 1996 until October of 2008. I left for Direct to get NESN HD 24x7. My contract with Direct is done and still no fulltime HD on Dish. 2 years for Dish to get in gear for fulltime HD RSNs...

    Dish Network to Buy Bankrupt Satellite Company DBSD for About $1 Billion

    I wonder what assets DBSD has that are worth that kind of money?

    Frustrated with no ESPN - 119! Need help!

    Sounds like the 119 lnb is picking up 110, if I read your post correctly. Nudge the dish down and to the right a little. GL, Eric

    How to redeem PPV coupons with Att Online Bill Pay?

    I remember writing the name and date of the PPV on the coupon and mailing it in. This was a while ago though...

    Wow, did I screw myself over?

    You'll be fine with Dish. If you have the programming you want, that is. AFAIK, they continue to only carry RSNs (NESN, in my case) in HD when they happen to feel like it. It used to really make me angry when the Red Sox were playing and Dish did not carry the game in HD. The reason I left is...

    Might have to go DTV. Will I incur penalty

    Do an on-line chat with Dish and ask them when your contract runs out.

    dish equipment verification teams...what do they ask.

    My Directv caller ID has been flawless now for a few months. Never noticed when it got better... Regards, Eric

    There is something wrong with Dish Network's PPV channels

    Any close neighbors with Dish? Try changing your remote codes.

    Thanks for cutting off Sports Night in HD on 429!

    Not worth the heartburn for me, If you want fulltime HD RSNs, go to the provider that carries them. In my case, I had to switch to Directv. Now every time Dish calls and asks me back, I can tell them why I am staying with Direct. It used to really tick me off when I'd sit down to watch NESN...

    No HD for Sabres/Bruins on CI tonight

    I'm switching back and forth between the 2 (in HD) on Direct. This is the main reason I left dish after over 10 years. I wish Dish would get its' butt in gear and fix this issue. I liked my 622. GL, Eric
