    I am unfortunately going to cancel Dish, been with them for almost 20 years but the time has come to cut the cord. I had a few questions: When I call to cancel, will my TV service stop immediately or will it continue to work until I mail the boxes back to them? I am paid thru the end of the...

    Still no FOX in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale?

    So has Dish just given up and forgotten about us in FL? When the whole FOX blackout was resolved, WSVN Ch. 7 Fox in South Florida wasn't part of the deal. For the past few months my channel 7 was just a message telling me to contact FOX over the dispute, but now channel 7 no longer exists on my...

    Issues with Google Home / Assistant Integration

    Now that Dish has Google Home integration, I have been playing with it but have had nothing but problems. Hoping others here have tried and can share success stories. So far I can turn the TV on and "show dvr" but most things work sporatic at best. I have a Hopper and 3 joeys, and whenever I...

    Tech is here doing install right now...I tried restoring the timers from the remote, the Hopper 3 downloaded the "backup", rebooted, but no timers! Am I doing something wrong? Is there a place to get timers from an old remote other than the diagnostics screen? Any other ideas?

    Hopper Timers Backup for H3

    I currently have 2 HWS and am upgrading soon to the H3. Trying to figure out if there is any way to combine all my recording timers. If I backup the timers from HWS1 to Remote 1, and from HWS2 to Remote 2, can I then restore from both of those remotes to the H3? Or would it be better to restore...

    Question about Hopper EPG

    For any installers who have played with a Hopper already...I noticed in the training videos posted here that the new EPG has the channel numbers in Descending order. Does the H/J system allow you to change the channel order to Ascending as my 722 does? Call it a pet-peeve...I can't stand it when...

    Massive Overscan on TV2 Output

    I have had Dish for a few weeks now and ever since I had it installed I have noticed that the overscan on my 522 is much worse on the TV2 than on TV1. It almost looks as if the image is zoomed in. To give ou an idea of how bad this is, when watching NBC, I can only see the N in the translucent...

    I am about to sign up for Dish service under DHA starting off with an 811/522/510 system. Now the way I understand it, this is a lease. Does that mean that at any time in the future I can add, remove, or change boxes? Say they come out with a new HD PVR (I think it's the 942, right?), can I just...
