    Pairing Dish remote and Yamaha receiver.

    So I was able to pair my dish remote with my Yamaha receiver, but my question is how do I turn on and off my receiver with the dish remote or is this possible. All I can do is volume and mute. If remote will turn on/off my tv and Dish at the same time why not the receiver as well.

    Transfer from Hopper w/sling to Hopper 3

    Tech just installed my Hopper 3 yesterday and said my EHD would not work for transfers since it was not a Dish HD. Luckily I had an ethernet cable ready. It took about 11 hours to transfer data over with no errors, but it said 98 of 122 recordings transfer. Is there a way to get the other...

    Just curious about autohop vs skipping commercials

    I have autohop enabled on my dish and know that the networks hate autohop. On the shows where autohop is not available I can still skip the commercials 30seconds at a time. It may take a few seconds more but is effective. My question is why then are the networks so up in arms against autohop...

    I have had my 622 for a long time, but lately when I record a show and play it back it starts to stutter really bad (looks kind of like signal stutter in bad weather) where the screen is unwatchable and will sometimes freeze and I have to do a hard reset. 1) Is this a hard drive issue or my 622...

    Do I eally need a new 2 year agreement for the hopper

    I am a loyal long standing customer. When I called Dish to find out how to upgrade to the Hopper they told me I needed $100 and a 2 year agreement or $500 and no agreement. Is this correct? If so it is not worth it to me to upgrade since I don't want another 2 year agreement.
