    setting which tuner use to record a show? Consecutive shows on same channel using different timers

    Anybody know how to make the hopper use the "green" (or blue) tuner each time the hopper records a show on the same channel? Here's the deal, my wife sets the hopper up to record 8 top chefs in a row on the same channel, hitting the record button for each show individually. Looking at the...

    Current Dish customer looking at options

    Referencing that in bold below, since I can't seem to find which model is which when playing with the order screen on the direct website, which units are these? Obviously, the HR34 is the Home Media center HD DVR, but is the hm21 a HD DVR or just a HD receiver? I'm in the same boat as the OP...

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

    Called up this morning, got offered a $30 credit and was told that I could watch it on my computer. I said my wife would rather watch it on a big screen and I understand Directv still has the channel, transferred to loyalty and immediately got the roku and 10/12 credit. No waiting on hold this...

    intermittent signal loss

    I've noticed the same trouble on G4 and TBS. When you change to those channels (and others), the screen is blank, you hear a bit of sound, than the "complete signal loss" message flashes for two seconds, than partial signal loss comes up, then the system waits for me to change the channel...

    complete signal loss

    Are all channels affected? Reason I ask is that my locals are gone (77 degrees), and that message comes up when I go to one of those channels. Using the program guide via main menu, I can see the other channels.

    Lost 77 overnight .... what's wrong

    I'm not going to repoint, with the snow coming it would be worthless, and I've got rabbit ears that work great. I guess I was really just curious. Thanks for all the replies.

    Lost 77 overnight .... what's wrong

    Ahh, I've got a wing dish with one LNB tied into my dish 1000 (pointed at 110,119,127). Guess when I added HD locals, the wing dish is what dish decided I needed.

    Lost 77 overnight .... what's wrong

    So from what I'm reading here, the locals have been moved to other birds, and if you want to go repoint your dish, you can get them. But most likely, in a few days, they will be back on 77. Is this correct?

    DISH AUDIT TEAM STRIKES AGAIN

    Boba, thanks for the reply. I'm not worried about failing one, but that's interesting. So if they kill it, they won't turn it back on if you jump through their hoops correctly? What a crock of sh

    DISH AUDIT TEAM STRIKES AGAIN

    If you fail the audit, and they turn off one of the boxes, does this let you out of the two year contract? I'm guessing not.

    Dish-landlord-legal questions

    This landlord allows all of my tenants to have dish, but they can't put it on the roof, period, or on my brick wall. And when they leave, if the dish is on a pole in the yard, I ask that they leave it for the next person. I prefer a pole in the yard over a 5 gallon bucket filled with...
