    Dish Anywhere down?

    I have the Galaxy S3. I can get to the guide and select a channel but when I tap on WATCH it flashes the button and does nothing

    Dish Anywhere down?

    The last two days the app on my phone will not let me watch live tv. Anyone else have this problem?

    Why don't we have Longhorn Network yet?

    LOL. Cyclones.tv hardly counts as a TV network. And BYU's network is 95% dedicated to the school and religion not sports. Neither even in the same ballpark as LHN.

    Article on ESPN/Dish Upcoming Negotiations

    http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/206128/d-day-might-be-coming-for-dish-espn.html#axzz2bG5HbrL4 The current agreement ends on Sept. 30 and I can't imagine the negotiations will be wrapped up by then. My only hope is this gets settled and ESPNU and Disney are finally offered in HD...

    KCRG (ABC affiliate in Eastern Iowa) Back on Dish

    KCRG and Dish reached an agreement ending a 5 week dispute over retransmission consent. I know this means nothing to most, but this was a big deal in Iowa. Glad they came to an agreement, now I don't have to rely on the OTA tuner for my timers.

    Question on OTA Tuner Guide

    More annoyance with the OTA tuner. I set a timer to record a show tonight and the timer came and went and nothing recorded. Funny thing is the timer still shows up in my timers list even though I set it to record only once. This is starting to get on my nerves. I called Dish and they "filled...

    Skip back 10, skip foreward ?

    If you hit back 10 just once, it's best to hit the Live TV button instead of the forward 30 button or it will not always go to Live TV. The back 10 also doesn't go back 10 seconds, it's usually anywhere between 13-28 seconds. When I had the 722 these functions worked flawlessly, so was bummed...

    Question on OTA Tuner Guide

    I can DVR the time slots still, but it won't be any good. If I DVR a program at 8pm today and 7pm on Saturday, I won't know which is which. It might be easy to keep track if I only have 1 or 2 instances recorded, but if I have 10 or more and I'm trying to watch something a few weeks later, it...

    Question on OTA Tuner Guide

    I hooked up the OTA Tuner to my Hopper yesterday and the guide information is not working for my local ABC affiliate. It should be noted my affiliate, KCRG, is in a dispute with Dish and currently not broadcasting on the satellite. The problem is my guide for the OTA Tuner says Important News...

    Can the OTA tuner be hooked up to a Joey?

    Hopper Randomly Recording "Old" Shows

    In the last 2 weeks my Hopper has suddenly started recording old episodes of shows I have set to DVR like The Simpsons and South Park, even though I have the timer set to New Episodes only. Doesn't seem to be a pattern as not all reruns are recording. Anyone else having this problem? Sorry if...

    30 second skip?

    The 722 was WAY better than the Hopper with both using the skip buttons and fast forward/rewind buttons. It is just plain awful with my Hopper unit. Very annoying especially since the 722 was freaking awesome at it. I have seriously been questioning if my unit is defective but it appears...

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    I agree completely with this and is why I think major change is only a few years away in the industry. Programming costs are out of control and more people are cutting the cord, it's not going to get better with rising costs. Which is why I'm sure Dish is fighting networks like BTN and AMC...

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    BTN is more valuable during basketball season than football. Way more basketball games and the season is longer. Now basketball is not as popular nationwide, but it's a big deal in Big Ten country. If Dish thinks they can just wait it out through football season they are sorely mistaken. I...

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    I just got an email on this from the BTN: Attention DISH Network customers and BTN fans, DISH Network may drop Big Ten Network from its programming line-up. This means starting Saturday, September 1, DISH Network customers could miss over 40 BTN football games this season. DISH customers could...

    Chances Dish adds ESPNU HD by Sept. 1?

    I assume this is near 0 with the Disney lawsuit seemingly going nowhere, but I really, really pray Dish adds ESPNU in HD before college football season kicks off. Can anybody give me reason for hope?

    Pac-12 Network

    Actually the Big Ten Network was not carried by Dish until after the 1st week of the college football season in 2007. The main difference between the Big Ten Network and Pac 12 Network is the BTN had a deal from the get go with DirecTV and Dish really had to match DirecTV there. DirecTV does...

    Hopper Still To Buggy? I may cancel my VIP to Hopper Installation

    I am starting to think I have a bad H/J hardware if others are having no problems, because I've had a lot of annoying problems. Joey's that suddenly stop working and can't find a Hopper to connect to. The DVR controls are so much worse than the 722 (slow responding, back 10 does not go back 10...

    I am having the same problem. It started a week ago. Just lost a show again today. Very annoying.

    Back 10 Seconds Feature not Working Right

    Whether I'm watching live TV or a recorded program, when I hit the back 10 seconds button, it goes back anything but 10 seconds. It's not even consistent. Sometimes it's 13 seconds, many times it is 24 seconds, other times it is 30 seconds. Is anybody else having this problem? The 722 was so...

    From DISH on the Hopper Internet Connector (HIC) and DLNA

    I just got a HIC shipped to me for free. It arrived today. However since the spec sheets said it was wi-fi compatible I thought that meant I could connect my Hopper to the Internet though the HIC via wi-fi. That doesn't seem possible now that I got the device. I cannot believe the Hopper...

    What are you enjoying the most about the new Hopper system?

    Interesting to me on the positive comments on the speed of the Hopper. I have definitely noticed more lag with the Hopper than my old 722, that is one of my cons so far. Other Cons: The skip back 10 and forward 30 is not as crisp or quick as on the 722. In fact my skip back 10 was going...

    My install

    I asked for the HIC with my install but the installer ended up putting a USB wi-fi connector on that I got with my Sling adapter, which I hate because I can't get a signal strength above 40. Dish is supposed to be shipping me one to my house now so hopefully I can connect it on my own without...

    SD Only

    I wasn't sure how the RF modulator worked but after researching it, this should work perfect. Thanks for the advice!
