    problems with genie hr34

    Thought I would give a quick update.... Today another tech came out and did a complete reinstall with a new hr44 and c41-500. By complete reinstall I mean he ran all new lines as well as he did not like the splices; however, I am convinced my issues were related to the hr-34. I attempted to...

    problems with genie hr34

    Happens on locals mainly. My wife watched the Voice on NBC and it was pretty frequent. This link was a bowl game on fox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s6awle7Hbg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

    problems with genie hr34

    Looks like I found the right post to ask some questions. My experience with the 34 and genie has been less than desirable. In addition to the slowness, we randomly experience the picture freezes and pixelation on, mostly local, channels that others have experienced. The technician came out...

    Install Today--No HR44 for me

    Doesn't the HR44 connect to the home wireless connection without the bridge adapter with the wireless built into the receiver as well? My HR34 seems to be pretty laggy to me but maybe it is just busy updating. When I scroll through guide and let off remote it scrolls for another few seconds...

    Install Today--No HR44 for me

    Well, in my defense :-) I am sure I will be happy with the 34; however, most people would equate newer, faster processor, etc.... with better.

    Yeah. It is an upgrade from what I have so I'm pretty excited.

    Install Today--No HR44 for me

    Install seems to be going well; however, I was told the installer does not have the HR44. I'm in Kansas City. A little disappointed but there are real problems in the world and this isn't one of them :-) Looking forward to having this up and running.

    Genie Pricing/Capabilities

    Again, thanks for the information. Are there any output differences from the Genie vs the Mini Genie? I would probably have the Mini Genie downstairs for my large TV in basement which is furthest from the router. And have the Genie upstairs for my 2nd TV right next to the router. I am hoping...

    Genie Pricing/Capabilities

    Thanks! Is the genie WiFi ready? If not, I'm assuming there would be an advantage to locate that near my router and hard line it in (video on demand)? Any functionality loss on the TV that has the mini genie?

    Genie Pricing/Capabilities

    I just wanted to confirm the pricing for a new subscriber on DirecTV with a Genie. I am currently a Dish subscriber, I have America's top 250, out of contract with a VIP722k which sends an HD feed to my main TV & a downconverted signal to my secondary TV. My pricing is $64.99 + $7 (DVR fee)...

    Blockbuster now on Roku

    True. You can't please everybody. I would think it would be announced. One weekend per month, one new release, not announcing the actual movie. My point was just thinking lots of people who normally do not rent ppv would be enticed to do so. Maybe I'm off though.

    Blockbuster now on Roku

    I wonder as well. Somebody else may have mentioned it is high due to the purchased rights to carry from the studios as compared to other mediums? So, I'm thinking that is a sunk cost. What would happen if dish offered $1.99 HD rentals 1 weekend per month? Would the increased volume help them...

    Blockbuster now on Roku

    Wow an app to rent a movie on roku :-) I've been using the amazon app for quite awhile now after dish removed the blockbuster app from my bluray player and no option on the roku. Argo is $4.98 for 48 hours in HD from amazon. I have never rented a ppv movie through dish due to the price...

    Dish Remote App Help

    Thanks so much! I didn't even notice it was playing in "standard quality" since it froze pretty quickly. I hope the CSR's & DIRT are aware of the workaround as more people start to get Nexus 7's & 4's and devices are upgraded to 4.2.1 (if it is tied to the android version).

    Dish Remote App Help

    Works fine on my wife's Samsung galaxy s3 running 4.1.1 and my old HTC incredible running gingerbread. Confirmed the same issue with my friends nexus 4 at work today. This was all tested using my id. Hopefully an update will be coming soon.

    Dish Remote App Help

    I'm running 4.2.1 on Nexus 4. This definitely looks like an issue with newer phones and operating systems based on Google play reviews. Wonder why it works on rooted vs non rooted. Hope it gets a fish soon, was counting on watching football at a work.

    Good ol Verizon--I am in the process of firing them.

    Dish Remote App Help

    Yeah, 4.2.1 It's funny because I still have my Verizon phone (htc inc) active so I can flip between than and my Nexus 4. Both running on WiFi. Maybe I will try uninstalling and reinstalling. However, I do not think that is the issue since I can log in fine, view the grid, view DVR etc It is...

    Dish Remote App Help

    So I finally upgraded my old HTC Incredible for a Nexus 4. Long story short, my Dish Remote App worked fine with my HTC Inc--can watch live tv or anything on my dvr. On my Nexus 4, it starts up and I have live sound but the picture just stays static. Assuming this needs to be fixed with an...

    Google and Dish Network allegedly in talks for new wireless service

    Interesting. I am in the process of firing Verizon and would always welcome new competition.

    HUB Channel

    Thanks! It seems weird, when I go to all channels I can see other channels I'm not subscribed to, but not this one for some reason. I'm dropping Blockbuster since I am not getting my $10 worth out of that and I have had enough issues with it. But I thought I would trade that $10 for the AT...

    HUB Channel

    Quick question that I couldn't seem to find when searching. It looks like the HUB channel should be on 179 if you have America's top 250? I currently have AT 200. When I go to "all channels" I do not see 179 listed. Does Dish still carry this channel? Thanks!

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I chatted earlier today, and was very polite to the csr. I got a $10 credit for 6 months, which I will take. I didn't push very hard for a roku. I did think it was odd I was being told I could go out and purchase the device and then pay $2 to $3 per episode without being offered it. That being...

    Ooma Offered By Dish

    I use NetTalk Duo. Been very happy so far.
