    Hopper 3 WiFi/Remote Antenna Replacement?

    I have discovered that I am missing the antenna. This is for a Hopper 3. I either lost it along the way of moving it from one room to another ... or ... my son has found a way to use the antenna with his drone helicopters at school ... Can these be purchased from DISH and/or online?

    Netflix - Pink Screen of Death (Hopper 3) - LG OLED

    Just got a new LG OLED TV. OLED65E6P to be exact. It is about a 50/50 chance whenever I kick off Netflix the Hopper 3 pink screens. I unplug the Hopper, wait 10 seconds, plug it back in, and all is good. I have tried HDMI CEC on and off (both on TV and Hopper 3) thinking that maybe it was an...

    Who upgraded from an iPhone 5 to a 5s? Thoughts?

    I have a 5. Upgraded from an iPhone 4. LOVED the upgrade. Super fast compared to the 4. What attracts me the 5s is mainly: 1. The better cameras - I travel a lot and hence facetime with my family a lot. 2. Finger print sensor - tired of the lock code. From a performance perspective though...

    722K + PowerLine/HomePlug 500MBps Adapter

    My office is in an area in the home where I don't get the greatest wireless signal. I could try a new wireless router, but as cheap as these PowerLine/HomePlug adapters are getting, I am okay with a "wired" connection using one of these adapters especially if I get better throughput in the end...

    722K - OTA Module - HD Locals on TV2 - Separate Cable Needed?

    So, I sincerely searched the forums ... could not find it explicitly. With the OTA module you can get your locals on your TV2 in HD. Is this through the "normal" home distribution cable? Or ... does TV2 have to be connected to the output on the OTA module? It is the output on the OTA module...
