    Dish Price Lock

    …So if I cancel my account (currently no contract ), send back my equipment and go to streaming only, how long until Dish considers me a new customer if I wanted to come back?

    Dish Anywhere on Firetv Buffering

    Having the same problem with my HWS. Tried two different apk versions, once with pairing and once logging in with credentials. App just never loads. YouTube tv sure is looking better and better to this 22 year Dish customer.

    Dish Anwhere app remote control

    Volume control works on my iOS app and I have a separate Sony receiver that I run the audio through. Double check that you have the correct TV and any auxiliary devices selected under Settings / Remote Control on the Hopper. Or maybe update your Dish Anywhere app if you’re using on older version?

    Hopper 3 pixelation and picture freezing

    Thanks, I paid $59.95 for this one and pay $12 / mo equipment fee. IMO that should count for something. Will Dish provide a working model at no cost?

    Hopper 3 pixelation and picture freezing

    I’m still having OTA pixelation issues on my HWS (U740). Very frustrating as many recordings have been unwatchable. Sometimes a hard reboot helps for a short time then the issue comes back. My signals are strong. It’s a single tuner module, maybe an older model not sure. The module does get...

    VIP722 power to fans & light strip

    Appreciate all the suggestions! My solution for now was to jerry-rig an old external SATA HDD enclosure plugged into a mechanical timer. Used the 5v rail to power the TV back-light and the 12v rail to power the fans. I think I will upgrade to a smart power strip though for better power...

    ripping shows from dish dvr

    Hauppauge PVR Easiest thing if you don't need recordings in HD is to use the S-Video output like jbernardi suggests. You can use that Plextor product or a graphics card with S-Video input if you have a desktop. If you want it in HD (without modding your DVR - as in the R5000) you can use the...

    I can get my old 501 platinum remote to work with my 722 in IR mode but is it possible to get it to work in UHF mode? I am always in single mode.
