    Anyone able to pair a dish remote with a sony tv (for tv apps)?

    Just bought a Sony 49x900f TV yesterday and was really hoping I could get my dish remote to pair with the TV completely. I am able to pair it enough to get into the apps page, but can't use arrows on dish remote to scroll through apps. Was really hoping to be able to use just one dang remote...

    Can anything be done with all our stuff on the External hard drive?

    I know Dish is going down eventually and frankly we're so sick of them, it would be fine with us. The worst thing is, I've spent years collecting every good movie & series on my WD External hard drive. Has anyone found a way to put their stuff onto some other device or some other way of saving...

    no choice to record in sd on Hopper 3?

    Use existing external HD with Hopper?

    We're moving soon and I wanted to upgrade to a hopper when we do. Right now we have a 722 with an external hard drive (WD). I was on the phone with Dish awhile back for something else, but I asked the guy if we did upgrade, could we still use our external hard drive (which I have half full of...
