    DISH Debuts Hands-Free TV on Hopper DVR with Amazon Alexa

    I'm connected via power line adapter. Confirmed I'm connected pandora and Netflix work. I'm on SW U417 which is dated 4/7 so I think that's the issue. I actually have 2 Wallys and both are on this same SW and do not show the Alexa icon.

    DISH Debuts Hands-Free TV on Hopper DVR with Amazon Alexa

    I have a Wally which apparently hasn't updated as I don't have the Alexa icon in settings. I tried to check for update but it says I have the latest one.

    Long time user needs new equipment

    I'm surprised nobody is mentioning getting a ViP211k or Wally and adding their own EHD. The OPs viewing needs are pretty basic why would they get something that has a monthly DVR fee attached.

    Dish wally question

    I went from a 211 to Wally and can confirm you DO NOT pay the EHD fee again when you change. Also can confirm that Wally will have you reformat the drive so you will lose all existing recordings. As for it being worth it. The Wally is much more responsive that the 211. The UI is nice. I will...

    Wally and OTA module question

    As a wally owner would add that the information above is correct. OTA works fine for live viewing but I also have a EHD that acts as a DVR. When I watch OTA I am not able to pause/rewind live TV without the wally glitching the video and audio. Wally is fairly new so I've not be able to find...

    RV and Wally Receivers

    Yes, I have a wally and use EHD for DVR. Did NOT have to pay a new $40 activation fee from my 211 exhcnage. No, it immediately wanted to reformat the drive and all recordings were lost. I was kinda expecting that so I was prepared. I have 2 Wallys and the same thing happened with both as soon...

    New Wally Receiver to Launch March 17th

    Wanted to update. I received Wally (upgrading from 211) and was able to connect EHD right after activation, no additional activation fees or calls. It did require reformatting the drive so you will lose any saved shows but I was expecting that so it was not an issue.

    New Wally Receiver to Launch March 17th

    Has anyone been able to confirm that Wally will use the same USB OTA as Hopper (194858). Would think so but all none of the product descriptions have been updated to show compatibility.

    New Install w/ OTA Antenna

    I am going to have Dish do a new install. I have an OTA antenna currently in the attic with cable runs to some rooms (not the rooms I want Dish to wire). Will the installer be willing wire the antenna to the dish wiring if I pay him a few buck, or is this not something they do?

    All channels are fine but CBS flickers

    I live in zip 33180 and I am only about 4 miles from the tower. I have an RS VU-75 mounted on my roof. Its wired w/ rg-6 to a dipex then 50' of rg-6 to the other end of dipex and to the tv. All of my channels that I should get come in fine, 85-98% and stay fine. CBS for some reason will lock on...

    Best PQ for SD and HD between top 3

    I'm trying to decide between DN, D and Voom for my new provider. All things aside like eequipment value, lineup, etc. do any of these providers offer a better PQ over another in SD or HD. I've been told that DN uses a more compressed picture than others so the SD PQ is not as good, any truth...
