What I am so sick and tired of are the fees. Why is the same piece of hardware, my Joey, going to cost more? They have already recouped the cost of the hardware, and there is no higher cost associated with however many TV's I have. I already had a hard enough time switching from my 722 to the...

1. What are your favorite features on the Hopper/Joey? Recording space, nice interface, fast and responsive. 2. What has been your biggest issues with the Hopper/Joey? (If you had install issues you can note them here as well.) During first install - EHD took a while to be...

A big thanks to the DIRT team for helping with this!

I have been given conflicting information between here and customer service. Some people here have said that a Wifi adapter should have been provided to me during install, while Customer Service keeps saying it would have cost me $25. What happened is I let the installer use a hardwire...

I have my old Sling adapter from the 722, will that work on the Hopper? Also, was my installer not supposed to supply me with the Wifi adapter? I told him that the hard wire was probably going to be temporary, I just forgot to press the issue when we started having problems with my external...

Mine just says Hopper and Blockbuster on the right... Why would I be given old hardware on a brand new installation? I just had it installed 4 days ago?

Can someone tell me how I can tell if my Hopper is the newest model? From what I read, it should have Sling built in? What other differences are there? Also, I am going to have to move the Hopper to a wireless connection. Does it have WiFi built in and if so how do I go wireless?

I have had about 4 or 5 out of maybe 30 rentals that don't work. I have a PS3 and a Panasonic and the disc will have the same issues on both. the discs were 100% perfect, not a single scratch or fingerprint on them. Sometimes the PS3 will not even recognize a blu-ray is inserted, other times...

Great info here so far, thanks everyone! Before I read the thread today, I tried to get out to a BB to talk to someone in person about it. So far my experience was not good with the BB / Direct partnership. I went to 3 different BB's along my path yesterday, and despite being the weekend...

I have been thinking of switching from Dish to Direct lately thanks to all the new hardware Direct is getting. Then today I get my "Special Thank You From Dish," letter in the mail advising me of my price increases. So now, I am really thinking of switching. I have been with Dish for 10 years...

I got off the phone from retentions just now. They spent forever telling me what Roku was but didn't want to offer it, kept offering me 6 months of $10 credits, then offered the possibility of a year... I told the rep that I Googled Roku to find out about it and saw a forum where people were...

For me, the HD is not important on any TV other than the TV1. The other TV's are extra living room, bedrooms, etc, where the TV's are too small to benefit from HD. It's a cool concept for some people, just not for me. My only benefit would be the massive hard drive, which I still may bite the...

What I meant was, the advantages are far fewer with having to pay for the boxes on a monthly basis, over having a receiver in each room. Basically you get a reciever in each room that can watch recorded shows in the whole house, kinda like AT&T U-Verse has been doing for a while now.

Yeah it sucks because I didn't follow this site's coverage of the system until after it's official release, so I was under the assumption that the Joeys would be purchased but not paid for monthly. I could have lived without the TV2 out if this was the case, but with the Hopper I would need 4...

Thanks for the quick replies... I just threw away 2 RF modulators because I figured I would never need that again, damn... It also sucks about having to pay the $7 a month for hardware I would own. So other than a really big hard drive the Hopper seems like a big waste for me and a huge money...

I would like to know if the Hopper has a TV 2 out like the 722k does, where it will output a watchable signal over Coax? Right now I have my TV2 backfed into the rest of my house where everyone else watches the same channel. Can I still do this on the Hopper with no Joeys? Can I do this if I...

I would like to be contacted regarding an upgrade from 722k to Hopper and 2 Joey's. I was told by Dish CSR that it would be a $100 upgrade plus $14 a month for the Joey's and would like to know if I can get the new customer offer by signing a contract since I am already on the Top 250 plan.

You didn't say anything to the people trying to help you, in fact you considered some of the things they told you. If you really just wanted to come on here and complain, you would have posted right away that you didn't want help and only wanted to cry.

So, I had a cheeseburger for lunch today. It wasn't very good as they precook the patties, and then reheat them when you order. I was going to ask fro a refund, but I figured it wasn't worth getting a lawyer over. This post, was about as worthwhile as your original post was.

It has nothing to do with being lawsuit happy, no one is telling you to sue. You wanted help and people gave you good ideas you chose to ignore. You chose to go hide under your blankets from the big mean HOA instead of having a lawyer write a letter. HOA's are like collection agencies, once...

I ordered the Sling adapter tonight. I started Googling for the sling adapter and found the thread about this rebate. The CSR I talked to did not say anything about this rebate. What do I have to do in order to get the rebate? I am an existing customer, I have the plan right under the...

Did you read the thread or did you just jump straight to the holier than thou act? He has called numerous time and even had a cha session where DISH told him that he owns it. But somhow you know more then him? Its not stealing if the company that gave you the equipment says you own it.

I guess losing this guy Hugh is a big deal for Dish?

HaHa, Nice!!!! Wonder what lawsuit Fox will hit them with for doing that? Are they allowed to do that? Wouldn't that fall under the same laws that prevent us from getting channels from outside our market?

If they pull the Fox Dallas Local stations, I will simply move to Tulsa since I am in both spotbeams. I hate the arguement that people are making on here that, "Dish should just lose all the Fox networks because I don't watch such and such." It's not all about you and what you watch. I...
