    X1 problem w CC sync on recordings.

    I have noticed that on almost all of my recordings the CC's are out of sync with the video. There does not seem to be anyway to fix this other than to reboot the X1. Rebooting does clear up the issue but is a pita to do whenever you want to watch a recording. Has anybody run across this issue?

    ETF I expected but not a charge for this

    I cancelled service today and as expected I owed a $180 etf. I was also informed that I would be charged $10 per box to return equipment. I have 3 joeys and a hopper and according to the rep that's $40 in additional charges. I don't recall being charged a fee to return equipment but it's been a...

    What remotes are X1 customers getting?

    I was wondering if anyone had a recent whole home DVR install done. I was curious about what model remotes people are getting, the X2 or the X5. Reason I was asking is the X5 v4 is being sold new on Ebay new for $6-7 bucks and it's supposed to be the more advanced of the 2. I have an install...

    My Bluetooth experience

    I hadn't paid much attention to the Hopper bluetooth feature until I happened to turn on the TV and the Dish tutorial on the feature was on. I do have fairly significant hearing loss and the idea of having the sound signal directly into my ears was appealing especially since the rest of the...

    Half price premiums or did I dream this?

    I could have sworn I received an e-mail from Dish the other day offering premium channels like Showtime, HBO etc at half price for six months. Now I can't find the e-mail nor is there any info on the Dish website. Did I just imagine this or did I miss the window for ordering?

    How to test locks without renting anything

    After seeing a pay per view movie on my bill that no one in the house seems to have any knowledge of I decided to use the parental locks. The only thing I locked was purchase restriction on which I set a password. I would like to test this but am afraid of clicking on a "rent" button and being...

    Closed Caption concerns

    I've now been with Dish about 3 months after 2 years with Direct and I have to say I'm not very happy with the closed captioning service. In my opinion the text placement on the lower left of the screen as opposed to Directs bottom center is kind of obtrusive. I wish there was a way to change...

    Anyone else turn off PTA?

    I did today as we have several shows we record on other channels and it seemed more efficient to not have one tuner tied up for 3 hours when we were only interested in 1 show. I can see using on selected nights if you want multiple shows recorded from the 4 networks.

    This billing practice doesn't seem right

    I don't think I should have to pay for something I don't get and wait for a later credit. Here's the situation. I'm in the third month of the "free for 3 months hbo, cinemax etc" that new customers get. My 3 months is up March 5th. About two weeks ago I received notice that my promo's were...

    Captioning service on Hopper

    I notice that under the CC settings there are choices under captioning services for numbers 0-6. Only number 1 delivers CC on my tv's. Are the other numbers supposed to work?

    Today I had Dish service installed to replace DTV. I have one hopper and 3 joey's. Prior to the to the installation I installed new Cisco powerline adapters and tested the ethernet connection on the one adjacent to the hopper location. The connection was fine and showed about 21mbps down. Today...

    Should I call and try for a better deal?

    Our initial 2 year agreement will be over next month. We currently have 1 HR-23 and 3-H-25's. I am happy with the service, my current lineup of channels and the equipment. My current monthly cost including tax is about $135. Like most everyone I am interested in saving money and I like the idea...

    What do you think they would charge?

    I'm a new customer (1-mo) and I did not get the HD package. I did get the DVR and 3 regular receivers and two dishes. I'm on the DVR package w/180 channels and 3-mos free HBO etc. What do you suppose they would charge me to upgrade to the HD-DVR? Thanks for the help. Charlie
