    New to hopper and dish quick ?

    I know it's not terribly constructive but I'll bet most people on this forum shelled out at least one $200 lease fee during their life with Dish. I did six years ago with the same ViP622 I use today and that only covered one TV with full HD DVR service and a second one with just DVR. The fact...

    Dish Hopper vs ATT U-verse

    Thanks! I'll let them know. For my own curiosity, can you still have equal sized side-to-side PIP and plug in any two feeds or recordings? I love being able to put two sports games on and swap between them so effortlessly, or have a game on a the second feed while I watch the news. I've...

    Dish Hopper vs ATT U-verse

    Thanks but I should've been more clear about my priority when asking this, which is reliability rather than functionality. Will the Joeys randomly stop working because of silly IP issues a la U-Verse or is that simply a minor concern? I do realize U-Verse is entirely internet based so if the...

    Dish Hopper vs ATT U-verse

    Hello. I am a long time Dish customer who is extremely happy with my old 622. A few years back my gf's folks wanted to get rid of Comcast TV and saw a well-priced promotion for ATT U-verse, which was pretty much brand new at the time. It wasn't around long enough for me to hear about some of...

    What exactly is my ViP622 doing?

    I don't use an EHD that goes to sleep as that's mostly a feature of factory-enclosed HDs that usually have tiny warranties and bad cooling designs, hence low life spans. I'm using this Thermaltake docking station with a WD10EACS drive which will park the head after a while, but it never sleeps...

    What exactly is my ViP622 doing?

    No it doesn't happen every morning, only once in a while, and no I haven't tried pressing the select button on the front. I'll have to try that next time. I'm actually on my 2nd 622 and I can recall it happening on the previous one as well. I used to use enclosures for my EHDs and when this...

    What exactly is my ViP622 doing?

    I've had my ViP622 for around 5 years now and have been using the EHD feature pretty much since it became available. My system update time is set for 6:45am and I'm sometimes up early/late enough to notice something odd that happens only when I leave an EHD plugged in during the update process...

    CSN-CA HD - Sharks Games

    Do my eyes deceive me? It appears that the problem has been resolved. I'm seeing that the Sharks-Devils game is going to be on channel 442HD (in Sacramento), which doesn't even have an SD counterpart, starting at 7PM. That means the pregame should be in HD as well, something we sometimes don't...

    Any Word On A New Receiver With eSATA?

    Hello all, this is my first post. I have a 622 that I got back in Oct 06 which I need replaced. Being a computer builder for 12 years I have a lot of experience with HDs failing and I am quite sure mine is on its way. It's a lot slower than it once was, sound drops out occasionally, no sound...
