    Is Dish heading towards dropping locals?

    I've been getting a lot of emails from Dish lately pushing saving money by dropping locals through Dish and getting a free OTA antenna installed by Dish. Just wondering if Dish is heading towards phasing out carrying locals. Big problem I see, at least in my area, is OTA guide data is pretty...

    Hopper3 / Joey LAN Wiring Question

    So I've seen the suggested wiring diagrams, but I have a question. With my old 2-Hopper 2's and 3 Joey's, I had each hardware device connected directly to a hardwired lan connection. When I upgrade to my current Hopper 3 and 4 Joey setup I kept this same setup with each device connected to a...

    Subchannel OTA Guide Data - Dish's Criteria

    Anyone have a clue as to what criteria Dish uses in deciding whether or not to carry OTA subchannel guide data? I can't complain too much as Dish does carry a good amount of subchannel data in my area but there are some OTA networks that I would like to see guide data for (Comet TV, Heroes and...

    Hopper2, Carbon Observations, Mixed UI Environment

    Just some observations with my experience after downloading the Carbon UI to my Hopper2's. Some of this may have been covered in other posts that I missed. When installed on just one of the Hoppers everything seemed to work fine after installing on a 2nd Hopper everything went downhill. I'm...

    Hopper recording to wrong unit / Joey BT issue

    OK. I downloaded the Carbon UI basically for the HopperGO. UI is definitely a work in progress as I find it very sluggish. However I'm having a strange recording issue. Setup is 2-Hopper2's and 3-Joey's 1. Now on Hopper 1 nothing is being recorded on that Hopper's hard drive. Everything...

    Just looking for some opinions, suggestions, or guidelines on a server upgrade I need to do. Upgrading a Windows SBS 2003 to Server 2012 R2 Essentials. Originally I had planned on going through the migration process, but my understanding is with R2 they removed the migration wizard and the...

    Hopper OTA Module

    Does the Hopper use the same OTA module as the 222k/722k/922? That's the only module listed for sale on the accessory page. Thanks

    Digital Sub-channel Guide Info

    Is there a method for requesting Dish add sub-channel guide info? Dish provides it for some channels and not others. Recently Bounce TV (13.2) and Movies! (13.3) were added as sub-channels to channel 13 KCOP here in Los Angeles. It would be great to get guide info to go with them. Posted Using...

    Hopper 2 Upgrade Pricing - Is this a good deal?

    My current setup consists of 2-vip622's and 2-vip211K's. 1 of the 622's is leased, all the other equipment is owned and I am currently not under contract. Programming service level is AEP. Called today to get pricing on upgrading to the new Hopper w/sling. Pricing I was given for the upgrade...

    Netgear A6200 WiFi USB Adapter - 802.11ac Dual Band

    I know the Dish branded WiFi adapter is a standard Netgear USB adapter. Has anyone tried or does anyone know if the Netgear Wireless-AC USB adapter will also work? Specifically with a vip622. Thanks, Scott

    Hopper/Joey Cabling Question

    My current setup is two dishes connected to two vip622's and two vip211's. I am looking at replacing this setup with a two hopper and 2 or 3 joey setup. My question is about the MOCA connection as I do not have functioning CATV wiring in my unit. Can hoppers and joeys still be installed and...

    For the Los Angeles Market Dish formerly provided guide information for This TV when it was on channel 5.2. Last year when Antenna TV took the 5.2 spot and This TV moved to 5.3 Dish stopped providing the guide information for This TV and now only provides guide info for Antenna TV. What are...

    Replacing an owned receiver

    Given the problems some people have had with Dish's customer service, I want to make sure I have the procedure right before I start. On my account I have 2 leased vip622's and an owned 311. I want to replace the 311 with a 211k that I'll buy thru Dishstore.net. So after getting the new...

    OTA and online scheduling

    Are people still having problems with setting timers online for OTA channels? I seem to get totally unrelated recordings when setting online. For example I tried recording Eli Stone OTA this past Saturday. What I got was a recording that starting midway into Oprah Winfrey (which starts 1 1/2...

    LogoHD - Where's the HD

    So where is the HD on LogoHD?:confused: For awhile a thought well maybe none of their shows were in HD. However in looking into it, a number of their shows are produced in HD. So where is the HD content? It begins to look like Dish is taking the SD feed, sending it as MPEG4 and calling it...

    Closed Caption and SAP (vip622)

    How does Dish handle alternate closed captioning and SAP's with this receiver? Nothing seems to work for me. For example: I've got one channel that transmits English CC on CC1 and Spanish CC on CC3, but no matter what I set the 622 for all I get is English. Likewise I have another Spanish...

    SlingGuide Disappointment

    So far I've found the SlingGuide beta to work very well. A couple of glitches but I'm sure they are working on those. What is extremely disappointing to me and confirmed by last night's Tech Chat is that Dish has chosen to ignore thousands of their customer and target the mobile version to...

    Whatever happened to promised Seagate Freeagent fix?

    Has anyone heard anything on the long ago promised fix for the sleep issue on Seagate Freeagent drives? I know there are workarounds, but there have been multiple firmware releases for the 622's/722's since the promise and no fix yet.

    Any suggestions on cutting this bill?

    I'm looking to cut this bill if possible and figure I'd ask the experts since customer service isn't making and understandable answer. Also I'm currently not on contract and would like to avoid locking myself into another contract altho' I won't completely rule that option out. Current...
