    this is just the 54.0, correct....it's been around for a while now.

    Purchase Hopper 3

    If you purchase a Hopper, can you then get service without a contract? If so, that would be a good reason to buy - at least for me.

    H3 Random Reset Time(s)

    Thats the exact one that I keep getting.... even though I have the reset time set for 5AM, it happens at random times...... i was just watching a movie, and it had 2 minutes to go when this popped up. There's no way to stop it. GRRRRRRRRR (all my receivers are in standby long before 5AM!)

    H3 Random Reset Time(s)

    Interesting ..... the message I get is slightly different - I haven't seen it this week so I can't remember exactly but I'm fairly certain that I've been seeing a "514C" - it says 45 seconds, and there is no option to "continue watching"..... not sure why the different messages. And why isn't...

    Cord cutting still subpar

    You are absolutely right on that. I actually tried the Hallmark apps for a bit, but the problem is that with all the channels that have something similar, watching TV could become a matter of moving from app-to-app, rather than clicking on a channel... time consuming and confusing for many. It...

    Cord cutting still subpar

    I would likely go with YTTV were it not for the fact that they aren't carrying any of the Hallmark channels - gotta keep the wife happy too LOL

    DNow poised to surpass Sling

    I'm not sure what the cheapest Sling package is going for, but i'm paying $40 for DTVN with my locals, which I think is very reasonable (considering I'm coming from $135 for Dish satellite). Like I said, the locals are important to us, as we probably watch those 4 channels more than all the...

    Local channels via streaming

    Yes, hearing that makes me jealous.... almost enough to want to move.... almost. Remember when TV was free?? Kind of like WATER! PAYING for these things? Who woulda thunk it!

    Cord cutting still subpar

    Good thoughts.... I guess that replacing cable or satellite with streaming TV is just not quite "ready for prime time" yet.... I really wish it were, as I need to cut the cord soon for financial reasons if nothing else. Being on a fixed income now, I've decided that I'd rather eat than watch TV...

    Philo

    That seems so weird - they have a decent lineup of channels.... and decent pricing as well. But I spent some time last evening with it and it just feels too disjointed and confusing. Hopefully they'll re-think their interface soon - my education continues .Thank you :)

    Local channels via streaming

    Darn! That really makes me wish I lived a little closer to the city now.....

    DNow poised to surpass Sling

    yes... unfortunately none of the "mainstream" networks I guess. I still don't understand why that seems to be such a low priority for them when most (if not all) of the other providers are carrying the locals. If OTA was an option for me, I wouldn't care as much.

    Thank you for clarifying .... I'm really new to this and have a lot to learn!

    I'm going to leave Dish sooner or later.... not because I'm unhappy with them, but I'm living on a fixed income now and for some reason, I've decided that I would rather eat than watch TV. LOL. I've tried all the streaming services except for Sling (not an option) and Philo, which I just set up...

    DNow poised to surpass Sling

    I didn't know they had any locals. (other than NBC maybe) ..... CBS? Fox? ABC?

    DNow poised to surpass Sling

    I wouldn't even try Sling until they add my locals.... I don't understand why they are the only Streamers that don't seem to care about the network channels. Not everyone can watch TV with an antenna (me included) even if they wanted to. Or maybe I'm behind the times - did they add locals??

    on Hulu but wanting to change. Sling is a problem?

    I would love to try Sling but it will never be an option for me until they add locals (I don't understand why they seem to be the only one of these streaming services that has no locals at all) because I am too far out to get OTA.

    is OTA considered streaming? So much to learn!!

    In looking (kind of a quick once-over) at the Homerun website, it looks like they aren't an actual live tv provider, but just hardware? I'm I understanding that correctly? Thanks!

    H3 Random Reset Time(s)

    You're lucky to even get the option to continue watching - I don't get that at all - no options, period..... just a 45-second warning and BAM! Any currently happening recordings are screwed up and I'm left with a dark screen. It's several minutes before I even see the "Kangaroo".

    H3 Random Reset Time(s)

    I was so happy when we finally got the ability to set our own time for the Hopper to do it's resets..... I set mine for 5AM, when no one is watching TV. Unfortunately, I'm finding that it does it's resets at all different times of the day and night. A large window of text pops up (I think it...

    Hopper 3 Software Version Update

    I was thrilled when Dish finally answered an issue that has been debated for years - the ability to set the time for the "nightly reboot"....... and it seems to be working very well - for the most part. I set my time to 4AM as there is no one home that would likely be watching TV at that hour...

    Can Dish Anywhere be used on a smart TV

    It probably depends on the model but my Samsung has a lot of "streaming apps" - Discovery Channel, Freeform, ESPN, Science Channel, etc - just nothing for Dish (except for "Sling TV" - the app for their own streaming service).
