    PROBLEMS WITH DISH CW CHANNEL

    Why does the CW channel in Lexington, Kentucky (sub channel to our local CBS affiliate 27-02) always have terrible digital video and audio breakup when my signal level shows 100%? I have called Dish several times and they have been no help.Dish actually phoned me at one point to say they saw...

    HOPPER NOT HOPPING

    Thanks everyone your replies are greatly appreciated. However, I see these changes as effectively neutering the ability so it is no longer worthwhile for me. YMMV

    HOPPER NOT HOPPING

    I called Dish about my Hopper not skipping over commercials last week and all I got was an explanation of how it works! GRRRRRRR!! I carefully explained the problem TWICE and the CSR just repeated how it is SUPPOSED to work. OK I said, but it DOESN'T on some of my prime time anytime...

    WEB BROWSER FOR HOPPER

    Thanks for the replies. I already thought of ALL of your reasons against the browser and dismissed them all as frivolous with one exception. The exception is security and IMHO opinion the ONLY one with serious merit. I personally would consider a browser app a real positive and useful item...

    WEB BROWSER FOR HOPPER

    A HOPPER FEATURE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE It would be nice to have a secure web browser app on the Hopper. If you had that along with print and save capabilities many would really no longer need a home computer. Does anyone know if such an app can or will be done?

    Closed Caption Issue

    In S506 the "pause - UN-PAUSE trick no longer works for me. In fact, when I check CC in the setup, it has TURNED its self OFF!

    why can't Dish fix their bugs?

    I just wish Dish could get the Closed Caption working! I and several others have posted about problems many times and it seems EVERY software upgrade seems to ALTER CC behavior a bit but never FIX the problem. With 506, the CC option "TURNS OFF" on its own! In previous versions of the software...

    Cannot move saved PTA shows from Hopper to External Drive

    I have the same or similar problem and have not yet figured out what the problem is. Some of it seems to be related to ptat, but some movies I want to save for when the grandchildren come to visit simply do not show up for transfer even though they are there.

    Closed Caption Issue

    I have the same issues with CC on my HOPPER as every one else in this thread. My wife wears two hearing aids and MUST have CC to watch. I would point out that for me, DISH has ALWAYS had CC issues starting with my first 722 DISH receiver. We have tried everything mentioned here including MANY...

    OTA Recordings Breaking Up

    o you know if it is a USB port speed or timing issue or is the USB port speed a non issue for the tuner?

    OTA Recordings Breaking Up

    YES! I called DISH and the CSR INSISTED that it was a failing HD and they are sending me a new Hopper! I explained to her that I had NO other problems with recording except for the off air tuner but she again insisted it was a failing hard drive. WHAT A WASTE! Does anyone know what the issue...

    AUTOHOP pipe dreams

    One of my favorite features of my Hopper is, of course, the AUTOHOP feature which allows us the option of skipping commercials if we want to. I would love to have that feature for other than just PTAT. Is that a future possibility or is that even possible?

    Reliability issues with 722k?

    During the setup, everything seemed to be going fine. However, after reboot, the program guide failed to update. upon another reboot, it went into , what I call, the dish loading spiral of death which includes constant rebooting without completion. This is what happened to the 722k that I...

    Reliability issues with 722k?

    Just to update, the 722k arrived and during the setup , IT DIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a shock!!!!! I noticed a made in China sticker. Oh well, I think I will try a Hopper and see if it is any more reliable. :^(

    Reliability issues with 722k?

    Just to update everyone, this 722k lasted until November 2013 or three years and 8 months. I am expecting its replacement sometime today. I hope the new one lasts at least as long!

    Saving Dish timers

    I add a few extra timers in case of timer conflict. i.e. " The Good Wife" is setup as an off air timer AND a SAT timer in case of conflict or local storm. That coupled with one time events like movies, specials or sports uses them up when you try to keep ALL seasons programs!!

    Saving Dish timers

    Our Dish DVR gives us LOTS of timers. However, with seasonal program changes along with sports, specials and movies, I find I run out of timers and have to delete some of the off season timers. It would certainly make life easier if I could somehow save and reload these timers. Anyone have a...

    HOPPER or 722K?

    I am considering the Hopper, AGAIN. I continue to get conflicting information from the CSR'S at Dish so I am posting here to get clarification. BTW, I currently have a 722K with dual off air tuner so I can record two off air and two Satellite programs simultaneously. My questions: 1. How...

    Will the Hopper Skip commercials feature be added to the 722k or other receivers

    Subject says all. Can the feature technically even be programmed on the other receivers? Richard

    Reliability issues with 722k?

    You missed the post where I stated that they sent out a tech TWICE to make sure EVERYTHING was as it should be. Everything here checked out perfectly. After the first few failures I began running everything through a computer battery backup so that my entire system including DLP TV, surround...
