Norman, OK A couple of months ago, my Tivos go the Cox on Demand update and to be honest, the entire thing has destabilized. It seems that every couple of weeks, Cox VOD goes down. I call up Cox and/or Tivo and they check things and point their fingers at each other. Sometimes the cox rep...

I would to subscribe again, but.... I got sick of their blackout policy. I live in Oklahoma City, but the St. Louis Cardinals are blacked out because a local am station carries one game a week. I can get KC and Dallas without a blackout but not STL. STL is 500 miles from me, KC is 250 miles...

Ok, How do I contact a DIRT member? My wife is now beyond pissed and had me move the kids ROKU to the front room so we can watch the current tv shows via PLEX/Sickbeard. This means I now have to justify the Sat system when its only use is to record the local newscasts and adult swim.

It happened again. I see that only the this weeks Blue bloods, Grimm, etc are in the DVR area. Like I said in another post. It is a good thing that I have sickbeard running so I can obtain reliable copies of the show on the internets.

I have been out of town for the last week. Last night I was looking forward to catching up on several shows that I watch when I have the time. I have several shows scheduled as a series such as Grimm, CSI, CSI NY, Blue Bloods, etc. I noticed that the shows that were originally part of PTAT, are...

I have noticed that the Hopper has started to act strange in the last couple of weeks. All other content like standard DVR/Prime time live works fine. If I start downloading some video via ON DEMAND, the hopper starts to slow down to the point that it does not respond, or it outright crashes...

Buy a HIC off of ebay and be done with it. To be honest, by utilizing a dedicated bridge (HIC) you will have improved the reliability of the entire system. Also this action allows you to hook a joey up via ethernet only should you have the desire to have tv in a location that does not have coax.

I have the hopper hooked to the network through a HIC that is located in the wiring closet. The HIC and Joeys are now hooked up to the same dumb switch. In the previous config the HIC was hooked to FE0/23 and the each joey was hooked to a separate dumb switch hooked to GE0/1 and GE0/2. The...

Here is the interesting thing for me. It caused some major headaches. I am running an ethernet setup and after the update, the system no longer works with my cisco 2950. My old config had the hic plugged into a 10/100 port, and then two dumb switches plugged into the two Gige ports. The two...

I am seeing the same thing with my hopper. The IPad app works, but the android app does not. When I try to access it from the Dish online site, the receiver shows as not connected. On the hopper itself, it shows as connected and broadband is working.

I had total power failure last night and today due to the storms that hit oklahoma. The hopper took a few minutes to come up. The only issue that I saw was that the ups that the hopper and tv is on was completely depleted and the system rebooted itself a couple of times until the ups had enough...

Wifi works fine from the barn. As long as you can keep the device in the same broadcast domain, and have adequate bandwidth and latency, I do not see how this would not work, as long as the devices stick to RFCs.

Here is some info from ntop. The Dish stuff is listed in there. The system definitely favors the MOCA connection (as expected) but as these stats show, the system can easily work on a basic home network. I am going to toss my video vlan on something that Ntop can see for specific data in the...

So far, I have yet to see the hopper go over 9mbit in streams to the joeys. All internet access from the joeys for apps and on demand are proxied through the hopper. To tell you the truth, this is the way tv clients should be. Have the primary system with access to the fat pipe, in a central...

The installer arrived at 5:40pm ( 12-5pm) slot. He reinstalled an old DISH/DIRECTTV install on the roof. He then ran a direct line to the hopper in the main tv room. The joeys were hooked up with jumper cables and a HIC was attached directly to my switch. By the time the downloads to the...

I read up on the MOCA standard and it is simply a networking standard for COAX. All that is needed to intercommunicate with a standard cat5 or other network technology is a network bridge or protocol converter ( the HIC), or coax port is wired into an internal switch on device like the Hopper...

Do you use a hic or just plugged the Hopper directly into the switch. Also if you did use a HIC, did you have them hook it up via the solo node on the client side? This is my initial idea. In a month or two I am planning on running cat6 to each room, at that point the entire system will be...

Well if that is the case, then it is likely that I will cancel the install. There is no reason at all to use a legacy physical medium for an ip based delivery system. If the coax is already existing then the case could be argued, but to require the deployment of coax to run IP over it does not...

The problem with them running coax is that they will want to penetrate my brick exterior ( i have dealt with Dish contractors before a couple of years ago during the 922 nightmare and they almost burnt my house down by not grounding the system.) The only way that I will allow coax to be ran to...

I have attached a pdf of what I want to do. Basics - 1 Hopper in Childrens Front Room ( easy to access where I want the dish install) 1 Joey on Primary HDTV 1080p in TV Room 1 Joey in home office (720p) I prefer to have the hopper installed on the seconday children's tv since it would very...

Sorry. I really need sleep. duh!

Mine are downloading 0x413 right now.

I just switched to D* from dish. My bill is now $10 more than what I was paying with dish, $76 with dish and $86 or so with D*. This is because with Dish I only had a 922 ( 5 of them failed, which is why I am a D* customer now.) With D* I have 4 receivers, 2 receivers and 2 dvrs installed in...

They did that. They sent me a refurbed 722, no remotes, antennas, etc. I called to have them send someone out to bring the remotes/antenna and they said that they would have to charge for that and I would have to pay for the remotes/antennas. They then sent me another 922. I went ahead...

I have the same problem also and noticed that forcing the 922 down to a single recording at a time makes it more reliable. But after learning how to reset it a few weeks ago from advanced tech, I discovered that I could repeat system failure and now know why I am on my seventh receiver. Hard...
