    TV remote use with Hopper 3

    I just had to replace my Hopper due to an equipment failure. With the old Hopper I could use my TV remove to turn the Hopper on and off, as well as change channels. However this no longer works using the same remote and the new Hopper. I see in the Hopper setup on how to program the Dish...

    bad picture quality on wireless joey

    Yes, it previously worked fine. I have relocated the WAP to be in line of sight of the Joey and there is no improvement. Picture is still all pixelated.

    bad picture quality on wireless joey

    I have a hopper 3 and 1 wireless joey. The hopper is connected to the internet via Ethernet cable. The joey shows linked with good signal. The joey network menu also shows 68-72 signal strength on the wireless signal. The hopper works fine. However the picture on the joey is either choppy...

    Hopper 3 OTA Issues Gone?

    I was going to order the AirTV tuner from Amazon. However I see there in ALL CAPS that it says not for Dish Network Receivers.

    Is it me, or has Dish's PQ gotten markedly worse in the past few weeks?

    I've noticed a lot of blocking/pixleling on CNN over the last few weeks

    OTA Locals

    With my bill hitting nearly $100 even after downsizing my package twice over the last 5 years, I am wondering what else I can do to lower my bill. How about dropping locals? I have a Hopper and the OTA gizmo. Will I loose the guide data if I drop the locals? And how about the DishPrime Time...

    OMG - I need to vent

    This only gets better. I contacted the retailer (through Amazon) that sold me the Hopper 3. He tells me to go on Craigslist to find an installer. Then he has the stones to tell me I need to do more research and he won't take the Hopper back because its already been activated. Perhaps he...

    OMG - I need to vent

    DIRT wouldn't help either. All they can say is contact a local retailer. You would think being a customer for 15 years (without any past due account balances.) would count for a little something.

    OMG - I need to vent

    Well guys the story is not over yet. When I get home from work yesterday my wife tells me a DISH CSR called her and said they were unable to find a sub contractor that would take the work, so they were cancelling my Hopper 3 upgrade. Man, FIOS is starting to sound really good right now...

    OMG - I need to vent

    I'm not upset that the company guy can't go on the roof, but upset that the person scheduling the install wouldn't have a note on the account indicating that a subcontractor was required. Or in the absence of a note, then ask the question "Where is the dish installed". To send TWO people out...

    OMG - I need to vent

    I just purchased a new Hopper through Amazon. When I called to activate it I was surprised to learn that an installer had to come out to the house to do something to the Dish. I missed this in all the Promo material saying how great the Hopper is. Ok fine.... schedule an appointment....wait...

    Potential Hopper Customer

    I currently have a VIP 622. 1. Can a Joey be hooked up wirelessly, or does it have to be connected to the Hopper via hard cable? 2. Will my existing antenna work, or do I need a new one? If the dish has to be changed, how do the dimensions compare? 3. What is everyone's opinion / pros and...

    So how long do you think the Dish/Turner dispute will last?

    I don't get you people that are complaining that your cartoon channel or whatever was dropped. I am sure there are many facets to the negotiations, but at the end of the day, the channels were pulled by CNN, because Dish wouldn't agree to pay what CNN wanted. Sure Dish wants to make a profit...

    Dish CEO says merger with DirecTV 'could make a lot of sense'

    I'd kiss Charlie's as$ if he dropped ESPN. I rarely ever watch it and wouldn't miss it one bit. Does anyone have any idea of how much of your monthly payment goes to ESPN????? I would bet that our bills would drop by at least 4 bucks a month (possibly more) if ESPN got dropped. It would...

    What happened to ESPN Interactive (VIP 622)

    Yes, ckhalili, this was the reason I was given for the need to migrate. The lower signal strength was just an obvservation, I'll hold back on any calls to Dish until I see if I experience any more rain fade that previously with the summer storm season approaching. I will say I am pissed...

    What happened to ESPN Interactive (VIP 622)

    Yesterday I received an 'upgrade' to a 1000.4 dish for the Eastern Arc. (Signal strength is pretty poor compared to what I use to get off of 110/119) Last night I noticed that I no longer have access the ESPN interactive. I use this frequently to get the MLB scores. Espn was no longer an...

    WHUP615 Email/Calls from Dish for upgrade

    Thanks for the replies, but could someone comment on either 1. Why a new smart card is needed in the 622? or 2. If the HD quality is better after the upgrade, as I was told? Is there perhaps less compression on the new satellite??

    WHUP615 Email/Calls from Dish for upgrade

    So I finally called Dish today after about a dozen calls and several emails from them to find out what this WHUP615 upgrade was about. Guy tells me I need to have my dish repointed or replaced, he wasn't even sure. He'd told me I'd get "Better Quality HD off the new satellite". Is there...

    942 Off Air Audio Problem

    Bump.... can anyone offer any suggestions? I've tried e-mailing as well as placed a call to the WTXF engineering department, but I've never got any response from them. I'd think they'd at least like to deny its their problem.
