Just wondering if there's any easy way to tell the size of the internal HDD in a Hopper or Hopper w/Sling. I have a Hopper w/Sling installed June 2014, and I had one installed for my Mom in October 2017, and they seem to have different size HDDs. Or maybe she's just better at managing hers...

My condo building got a new roof a couple weeks ago, and the Dish had to be taken down. When I was finally able to find out that work was completed, I scheduled the Dish re-installation for today (Sat. 3/21). You'd think it would be easy on the second day of Spring to install a Dish, but Mother...

Will a local installer do a free site survey, or would they charge for it? I really want to get my Mom out of the clutches of TWC for TV, but someone really needs to check the site first. I believe that, with an antenna mounted to the northern end of the roof, she should be able to see the...

I'm moving to a condo development soon, and I need some help with getting the order in. Current setup is one "Classic" Hopper, with AT250 on Eastern Arc in northeast NJ. I guess the best first step is to talk with a DIRT representative. Is this (still) a good forum to catch the attention of one?

Mom's cable, TWC in Maine. She currently has the Scientific Atlanta 8300 HDC. Is there any newer box from TWC that might offer better performance, better user interface, more DVR time, etc? TWCs website is hard to navigate, and largely unhelpful, unless you have your wallet ready... Thanks...

Hi! I changed banks recently, and I *thought* I did everything right to get my autopay to the new bank. Dish even posted a "test" withdrawal to my bank account. But my regular pay date was last Thursday, and as yet neither the Dish site or my bank seem to have any info on the transaction. I...

So when I ordered the Hopper, I also ordered an External HD to move the rest of my recordings off my 622. This was a second EHD, as the first one was full. So ok, everything comes off the 622, and I can even play back recordings from either device, and have them both mounted at the same time...

I live in an apartment, and while I'd like to sometimes watch stuff "in the background" while I'm, say, at my computer, I'm not ready to pick up a Joey and another HDTV set for the office. Would the Sling adapter enable me to watch on my Mac or iPad in another room with decent quality? I've...

I recently upgraded to the Hopper, and I was trying to use the remote control functionality in the Dish Remote Access iOS apps. I have the most recent versions from the App Store for my iPad 2 and my iPhone 4, and iOS is 5.1.1 on both. On the iPad, the remote icon is not in the top bar, and on...

So, yesterday the local installer came by to replace my 622 (1000.4 dish) with a Hopper (1H/0J). The only thing he did was replace the receiver. No outside work was done. It's working, as in I can watch live programs, and programs on my two EHDs (Yay!). But I cannot record anything, and PTAT...

In a bit over a week, I'm having a Hopper installed to replace my venerable - and reliable (if scorchingly hot in the summer) Vip 622. I've had the same 622 for nearly 6 years now. I've a couple questions about moving between the receivers. The first issue is saved programs. I presume, from...

Strange occurrence last night... Equipment is 622 (3+ years old) with EA Dish (Just installed 3/7/10). Came home and wanted to watch TNT in HD on channel 138. Got a message saying there was a problem, and to press the up or down arrows to tune a different channel. This was NOT the "acquiring...

Just looking at the 1000.4 install instructions, and it says that it's compatible with VIP-series receivers with the circled "A" on their "Contents and Features" label. Looked at my VIP 622, and can't find a circled "A" anyplace, and the only label I see is the one with the serial #. Just...

A friend had Dish out to his place in Maine today to install Dish. He ordered America's Top 200, HD + Platinum, HBO & Showtime and two VIP 612 DVR Solo receivers. The installer put up the 61.5/110/119 arrangement. He sent me a photo of his dish setup screen, and sure enough, that's what's...

I originally subscribed in September 2006, with a 211. I upgraded to the 622 3 months later. I have a single VIP622, and my bill is like this: GoldHD 10.00 PlatinumHD 10.00 Service Plan (15/0) 6.00 America's Top 250 With Locals 62.99 DVR Service 6.00 Total: $ 94.99 So I keep reading here that...

I've had Dish for 3 1/2 years, with a 622, and 61.5/110/119 on two dishes (the usual pre-EA setup, I gather). I want to call them to get the "upgrade" so I can have BBCA HD, but I'm concerned they'll want to install a third dish, which simply isn't happening... I'm only a few miles from...
