    Trying to control a soundbar and TV with DISH remote

    I have a family member who has DISH network and I am trying to help them with a situation. They have a Hopper in their main living room. It is then connected to a 46" Samsung HDTV. This HDTV is a real basic model and has absolutely no audio outputs on its rear panel. No analog, no optical...

    Question about the Hopper/Joey system

    I have a family member who has the DISH Hopper/Joey system. From what this family member has told me, the DISH network Joeys seem to borrow a tuner from the main Hopper DVR and he said he sometimes gets a message asking him if he is sure he wants to change the channel (on Hopper) cause it...

    Question about using new Genie system

    I have a family member who has DISH network and the Hopper/Joey system in four rooms of their house. They apparently aren't real happy with the way the equipment works & are possibly wanting to go back to DIRECTV. They are considering the new DirecTV GENIE whole home system. Had a few questions...

    cable box HD output quality?

    I have a family member who has Brighthouse cable. About 2 years ago, they were upgraded to a Scientific Atlanta 3250HD box. It was hooked up to an older 32" CRT Sony TV & mainly used to watch SD digital channels (2-150). Since this Sony TV has HD component inputs, it is able to receive the HD...

    Question about Hopper's front USB port

    Can the USB port on the front of the Hopper DVR receiver be used to play back various video file formats (.MKV, .AVI, .MP4, etc.) from a USB thumb drive? Or is it mainly for hard drive expansion?

    Can you watch programs on Android smartphone?

    I recently got the Blockbuster@home service to compliment our DISH TV service. While I figured out how to watch Starz and Epix material on a Windows based PC (laptop and desktop), is there any way to also watch it on an Android smartphone?

    slingbox question

    If I hook up a slingbox adapter to a DISH Hopper DVR receiver, will it allow me to watch live TV on other devices (iPad, android, etc) away from home and NOT affect what is being watched on the main Hopper at the time? I'm hoping it somehow utilizes the multiple tuners of the Hopper.

    hopper wireless adapter support

    Can the new Hopper DISH DVR receiver use various brand USB wireless adapters (to make it connect to the internet for Blockbuster@home) instead of the one that DISH tries to sell you? I have a Dlink DWL-122 USB wireless adapter that I was hoping could be used with a Hopper receiver.

    Blockbuster@home shipping address question?

    Does the shipping address to send Blockbuster DVDs and games HAVE to be the same as the address where the DISH network satellite TV service is received? Or is there a way to change this within my online account? Would like to possibly subscribe, but then when needed, easily be able to change the...

    I have two older DISH network receivers & I wonder if they still work with DISH Network. I have gotten conflicting reports. They are models 3500 (brand new) & 4700 (slightly used).

    HD DVR with caller ID and VoIP?

    I have a family member who recently got set up with a DirecTV satellite system (about 5 months ago). 4 TVs including two HD DVRs & two standard receivers. I believe their HD DVRS are HR-21s (not totally sure, but will check later to fully make sure) & I noticed how they allow you to hook them up...

    ViP722 with HD Only, Comcast basic cable & local channels

    I am looking to "add" the new Dish Network HD Only package ($29.99/month) to my existing Comcast basic cable. I don't have an HDTV, but plan to get one soon. I currently get just the standard Comcast analog channels (w/ no box) and am pretty happy with it. I don't like Comcast's HD package and...

    question about VIP722

    I am possibly interested in subscribing to DISH Network's new HD only programming ($29.99/month) and also getting the DISH VIP722 receiver to view it on. I examined the brochure online and had a question about some of its outputs on the back of the unit. There is a yellow color output titled...
