...to pair an existing ViP720 Hopper (please excuse any misnomenclature, as I can't find a proper model number other than "hopper" and "blockbuster" on the receiver) with a Tailgater mobile dish? The hopper is about two+years old now, and has recordings and programming I don't want to lose...

Those pesky mods, always mucking up the works! I'll bet it was a mod that caused this problem... :whistle:

Bump from the dead... I just got this as well, recorded the USGP, went to watch it tonight, and damned thing just displays a blank screen, with NO way to return to anything without powering off the Hopper. :wtf: Damn if it didn't tick me off, but google led me here. So far, I've enjoyed the...

I looked: it's worthless, just corpordrivel about AMC and how they're asking for too much money. Same shenanigans as with dish, just a different channel.

It has nothing to do with saving money; it has everything to do with Dish/Charlie being petulant little school kid bullies, after the teacher caught them picking on a bunch of first graders. Damned bunch of morons. At this point, I'm hoping that uVerse will be available where I'm going...

:wtf: there's "couple minutes late cuz the website was down", that warrants either no action or maybe a fee; and there's a month late, where you pay the fees. A baseball bat to the nads is a bit excessive.

I'm with you, but it's more than just these guys and other "service provider" companies: it's employers as well. They are ALL looking at us little guys as the enemies, and are just a step away from turning overtly abusive, with their attitudes/treatments, and their products/services. The...

Mojo, yer amazing. Thanks for the extensive research. I know it's been a month, but I'm funny that way. Hell, I haven't even called uverse and bitched about the picture quality (too busy). I thought I HAD to make a fast choice; but given my druthers, I don't like being forced into fast choices...

I think Dish is kicking their subscribers in the nads again. If They think doing this is going to hurt AMC, they're very sorely mistaken, because viewers will just switch networks, and use direct or uverse or cable to get what they want--if they don't blow off operators at all, and just use the...

Well, uVerse "gotcha'd" me by telling me I was getting HD programming, when I wasn't; and they "gotcha'd" me with the lack of BBCA in HD. The vast majority of channels I do watch are pretty much universally HD across the providers; so wanting/needing two being a deal-breaker can be valid...

My "Juliet balcony" (only 6" deep) faces west, with a clear view of the southwest sky. I think I can clamp to the railing.

I've had Dish before, for damn near 10 years straight; so, obviously, I kinda liked them. But when we moved to an apartment from our house (long story, basically downsizing), we thought we couldn't do Dish because how the apartments are set up. So we went with uVerse for tv and Internet...

Anyone experiencing this?? Everything from 299 down thru 400 seems to be down on the HD side, SD working fine. :wtf: Edit: forget just movies, all the HD programming PERIOD is down???

Okay, I FINALLY pulled the trigger here... and it was easy as pie: hit the website, log in to the account in my wife's name, hit the programming page, select Top200 and HD, process it (since it's the end of a billing cycle it didn't make me pay). Then, hit "HD for Life", select the 24 month...

Thanks for all the advice folks... I really appreciate it from all y'all! I"ve become a real HD snob, especially since I got the 58" Samsung plasma, so I get really pissy when an HD channel plays SD content with the 4:3 stretched to 16:10 (GRRRR... drives me batty!). So if I can get ALL HD...

Oh, and I forgot: I already have a VIP722 (I think)... how does that affect pricing?

Thanks for the work, Mojo... forgive me if you sound suspiciously like someone who works for DIsh. <_< >_> I'm not that worried about the major premiums, we've been okay with the single encore channel this past year and a half; on the other hand, we've enjoyed some of the offerings on the new...

I've been with Dish a very long time (2001 I do believe), in three different houses. I've been happy with them for the most part, REALLY enjoyed the DVRs we had (how did I live without them??), and for the most part, their service has been good to excellent. IN this particular home, I went...

FINALLY someone with a bit of information and sense!! Tho, tbh, I think we will see some serious wireless disruptions soon from this solar upsurge... it will be funny to see some of the text/cellphone addicts start slapping up veins in an attempt to reconnect to their addictions. ;) As for the...
