    MOCA compatibility?

    Does the Hopper utilize standard MOCA? Or a dish specific variant? I am considering using my spare coax cables for Ethernet, and would like to know if I need to buy a Dish HIC or could use generic MOCA adapters? I have a couple of DECA adapters as well, and know am pretty sure D* is a...

    Annual Purchase of HBO Max

    Does Dish offer annual subscription to HBO max? Now that my year $12.99 (or whatever it was) is over I’d love to save $30 for a year subscription.

    Dish Anywhere

    My dish anywhere (to my 4K Firestick, iphone, and windows browser) is aweful lately. Even when using the stream option, I’m getting freezes and drops. My home network is t-mobile, and wifi signals are all good or better. I forced the 318 for my hopper on Saturday, and did a power cord reset...

    H3 going bad?

    Recently my H3 has had several hiccups. The picture will go dark for a second or 2, intermittently, and after rebooting, will return to normal. I also have some artifacts on the guide when scrolling. Not sure what to make of it, but suspect I have the H3 going bad? I just signed up for the...

    Multi view?

    I tried to use PIP multi-view this morning, as soon as I selected it my screen went black. Regular (small, medium and side by side) work fine. My first thought would be an HDMI cable or TV issue, but wanted to ask for other possible causes? And why would it change between regular PIP and...

    Hopper to Hopper drive copy

    Has the feature allowing one to copy recordings from one hopper to another via ethernet been removed from the latest software? I've decided to take advantage of the upgrade program and am going to jump up to a Hopper 3 (from my Hopper with sling). I don't have a spare external HDD at the...

    Receivers left from tenants

    My renters moved out and left (what I think is) a genie setup (3 boxes). Are they like dish network with leased units that aren’t usable? Should I call DirectV and have them pick them up? Or use them for boat anchors? Is the main hdd a standard Sata drive that I could use (with an external...

    Time for an upgrade?

    My Hopper with Sling has had a couple of hiccups over the last month or so. I have had the (occasional) black screen issue, which sounds like a software bug, and the sometimes SNAP not connected error, also a bug i believe. But a few times in the last month I have had an issue with the screen...

    Hopper 3 and Solo Hub

    i almost pulled the trigger on a hopper 3 yesterday, but when I started thinking about a new hybrid lnb and solo hub, I balked at it for the moment. I can understand the need for the hybrid lnb, but I do wonder if a the old single node would work in place of the sole hub? I can imagine the hub...

    Joey 2 and HWS

    Will a Joey 2 work with a HWS, running the Carbon UI?

    Can I copy the recordings directly off the internal drive?

    I believe the internal drive on my HWS is beginning to go south and none of the external drives I have seem to be recognized (even completely blank, unpartioned) with the current CUI. Before the drive goes completely dead, can I remove the drive, mount it on my Linux box and copy the recordings...

    Anybody want a WebTV receiver

    Cleaning out my garage and came across a WebTV receiver, a friend gave it to me, that had long given up on it. It has a hard drive that spins up. I'm going to donate it to Goodwill and/or electronics recycling.

    StarTrac sv360

    i just acquired a complete sv360 and although it is a bit dusty, what documentation I could find says it works as a dish 1000. I imagine it would work with a non hopper as a dish pro lnb? Any experience others have would be nice.

    Moca Frequency Question with Carbon

    I was looking through new menus and in the advanced internet settings there is "Limit Frequency Scan" for the MOCA that allows the frequency range to be narrowed to 800-850 vice the usual 675-850. Does this allow for bandstacking of OTA? Or is it used with/for the Hopper 3 and new LNB?

    Software updates to inactive (new) Hopper

    I have a new (boxed) Hopper that I got a ways back, but have never opened or activated. I know that once I get it connected and activated, it takes a few nights for all the updates to push. Whilst I'm waiting for my new duo node, could I connect the new hopper to my home lan, and if necessary...

    Suggestions for an old 811 and 942 receiver

    Folks, I was cleaning out my garage yesterday and came across my old 811 receiver. Anybody have ideas about what to do with it? I should have traded it to Dish when they used it for their upgrade but it was a solid OTA digital tuner at the time. I also have a 942 somewhere in the garage, and...

    Sling Adapter to a Hopper with Sling

    Can I use my Sling Adapter on my HWS? Just curious to see if I could have 2 Dish Anywhere sessions going w/ 1 Hopper.

    Shout out to ZachS and all the DIRT Team

    I finally made the jump to Hopper (pun intended) with an eBay purchased receiver. I had a bit of a problem activating thru chat, but ZachS was able to resolve it in less than the blink on an eye. Now all I have to do is learn the new system, and wire up my 2nd room mirroring! Sent from my...

    Is a tap interchangeable with a diplexor?

    I am wondering if my Holland diplexor will work as a tap? Since they both split the different frequencies, and block DC from the <900 MHz they should work the same. I know the tap is designed for the higher freq of the 3rd sat feed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What to do with my owned 722 when I move to Hopper?

    Well I have finally decided to go forward with stepping up to Hopper and am wondering what to do with my 722. I have a good bit of kids shows recorded onto the internal HD so I may just use it for a kids room. I know that I cannot use my external HDs with a non active unit, but has anybody taken...

    Virtual Joey supported devices

    I believe Dish will announce additional device support for virtual Joey this month. Is there speculation that it will include Roku? Or a PC App? Or have I missed that boat and it is already available for all devices! Miner

    HD for life and pause of service

    If I put my service on the hold program do I lose the HD for life? Will I be able to view my recorded programming? Will my OTA turner still function (if I could receive locals)? Miner Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

    When will the Super Virtual Hopper arrive?

    With Dish bringing out the Super Joey "soon" and it is +/- two units combined into one, a 2 tuner to Moca device and a Joey, when will Dish bring out an inside garage mounted Hopper that has 5 or 6 tuners and feeds over Moca or cat5 or wifi Joeys or virtual Joeys at the TV? I seem to remember...

    Longest time with a non permanant mount?

    I am going on 5 years in the San Diego area this spring and ever since I left Texas, I haven't had my dish (1000.2 and even a 1000.4 EA) permanantly mounted. It has been zip tied to a baker's rack, screwed onto a wooden fence post, and now mounted onto a 4 x 4 set in a 2-1/2 gal bucket of...

    Virtual Joey for Sling

    As it would appear the Virtual Joey streams a video via internal LAN and control / menu / etc are handled from the Hopper, what are the chances Dish would create a virtual dish extender for the VIP Series with Sling Adapter? A couple of months ago, someone posted they had heard about a Joey...
