    Hopper 3 - Transition between recorded show and live tv issues

    I too am having this exact issue. Really annoys us when the transition into the 11 pm news messes up and the only way to fix the pause loop is to change the channel. At that time, we lose the first few minutes of the news. This happens even if what we are watching was live (not selected from...

    Dish Network is offering a "free" iPad if you sign up for satellite service. Avoid this, it's a scam

    If you had good credit, they would have waived the $199 activation fee (only applies to the hopper setup which IS required for the Ipad promotion). Customers that I sign up that have good credit do not pay the $199 activation fee. Then, if they choose the Top 120, they are missing out on the...

    I am a retailer. My showroom 922 did the same last week. This is the same one I have had since they came out. I have also switched it out to a hopper.

    Ongoing Remote Problem

    I am a dealer, and have run into this issue recently. Seems that the LCD tv is interfering with the IR remote when set to a low (1 or 2) remote address. I learned through trial and error, and now I set #1 remote to address 12. This has resolved my issues with several customers. The frequency...

    B-Converter location question

    One other thing I have noticed, if you locate the converters at the patch panel, then you can use diplexers after the converter. If you try to use a diplexer before the converter (converter on the back of the receiver), you will lose hd channels.

    Installer refuses to peak dish

    How are the signals on the 101 and 119 satellites? Over here on the east side of the states, we get mid 90's on 101 and 119 satellites, and the KA's are 70 to low 80's. The installer, first peaks on 101, and then adjusts the skew for 119 signal. The others are then supposed to "fall in...

    Retailer Chat Recap - July 10, 2008

    I believe they inflated their hd numbers before by including PPV. The chart at the beginning shows that these new counts do not include PPV, regional sports or VOD.

    A Note From Scott on New HD

    OK, as I said, these are documents they send me and I can not guarantee anything! We do some commercial work and when a channel moves from one place to another, it can cause problems with a headend (especially if they move satellites).

    A Note From Scott on New HD

    That time stamp came from the Excel spread sheet they sent me. Might be MST if the sender is in Denver. Anyway, they send us a weekly update of channel moves and changes, additions and takedowns. I have no other "inside" contacts like Scott.

    Scott is anyone reporting from Directv Revolution

    Suitcase Sat-Go will retail for about $1500. The really big news for consumers is that during the final days Q&A, the question was asked about how much the HD package would increase in cost when these additional channels launch. Chase Carey (DirecTV CEO) said that they would not increase from...

    Dish Expands High Definition Package

    I would assume that they will still be coming from the 61.5 slot. Dish does not have capacity to add these at another slot (at this time).
