    Can’t get upgraded receiver

    I live in a community of single family homes that has Hotwire Communications receive Dish Network programming at a central location and they pipe it out to subscribers through a 722k receiver. I want to upgrade to a better receiver (Hopper) and get the programming directly from Dish. Dish will...

    It was just there. Did it move, get dumped, bail? What?

    Free HBO plus $15 off monthly bill

    I got a call this evening from DirecTV saying that since I was a valued customer I was getting HBO and CINAMAX free for a year as well as $15 off the bill, also for a year. I said, “OK”. Anyone else or am I special. Haha.

    Cable blackouts of “free” TV channels won’t be stopped by FCC

    FCC won't expand oversight of contract disputes that cause TV blackouts. The Federal Communications Commission has decided not to step up its oversight of contract disputes that sometimes take free, over-the-air channels off cable systems. Broadcast stations can demand carriage fees from cable...

    H3 "Internet Connection Required"

    When we try to access an app, we get the pop up "Internet Connection Required" even though we do have an internet connection. The internet is through the Dish usb wifi connector. The Internet Connection reads OK and is around 67 most of the time (sometimes yellow, sometimes green). We have...

    New H3 questions

    Just got the H3, Joey2 and Wireless Joey yesterday. On Wireless Joey, TV does not turn on when power button is pushed even though it's connected with HDMI cable. Also, Wireless Joey does not turn off when TV is powered off. Have Wireless Joeys always been like this?

    If this has been discussed before, I apologize. CSR told me that Wireless Joey will not work with Hopper 3. Is this true?

    Low powered NBC & ABC in Jacksonville

    We live 23 miles max from the broadcasting towers in Jacksonville FL and cannot receive NBC 12 or ABC 25 due to their low power. TV Fool has them at 29 kW and 53 kW respectively. FOX 30 and CBS 47 are both at 1000 kW and their picture is super. Due to HOA, no outside antennas are allowed. We...

    Eighth worst company to work for?

    This seems to be from WSJ. Not much of an improvement from two years ago. Not the lowest but not good CEO rating either. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/worst-companies-130656663.html

    Florida 3.6% communications tax cut

    Did anyone else receive this from Dish? Seems too good since it's for everything (satellite, land line, cable & cell phone). But, I still sent the email since I do live in the state. Wish us luck...

    Netflix buffering

    Our Netflix stops to buffer quite a lot even though we have a good download speed. "Test Connection" says we are well into 40 Mbps plus. Video stops but audio is still going while buffering symbol spins reading 99%. We have to exit Netflix then restart it then it works (for a while sometimes)...

    Upgrading to HWS from H2K

    Hi, I am wondering how long it takes to transfer content from H2K (45% full, around 1TB) to an EHD (not yet purchased, if that makes a difference?). The reason for my question is that I want to get 2 HWS since they have the Netflix app and was wondering how soon I could set up that appointment...

    No DVR Resume option after nightly guide update

    So, this morning I was watching a recording on the Hopper 2K with S449 and the notice popped up that the guide wanted to update, around 1:20AM. When I am up, I always click "OK", it only takes five minutes then I can resume watching the program. When it completed and the notice to press Select...

    Hopper 2K switches to tuner that is recording

    Hopper with v440, changes to the tuner that is about to record, even though there are available tuners. Is this a known issue or is there something in the settings that can be changed to prevent this? Edit: Sorry, it seems I had already reported this issue back in May (it's tough getting...

    Game Finder?

    What good is Game Finder if the guide is screwed up, incomplete? There are two NFL games in a row on WTEV (CBS 47 Jacksonville, FL) and they both have "Teams TBA" and don't show up with Game Finder. Like no one knew who would playing until today, after the guide was updated. I call BS!

    Shutting Hopper Off

    I see that you now (again) have to press both the remote power and TV buttons to shut TV and Hopper off. Tried just the TV button, TV shut off but Hopper stayed on for hours (not the five, or so, minutes that it was) until I hit the remote power (big red) button. Does this on both H2K's. Sheesh...

    Tuners available, starting recording still switches channels

    While watching on one tuner and two tuners available, a new scheduled recording starting will switch from what is being watched to what is being recorded. It does not matter what you select on the pop-up notice or if you ignore it and select nothing, it always changes the channel. It happens on...
