    Fox News doesn't work properly on Hopper DVR

    I couldn't find the referenced previous threads either, hence my comment to you. Deleted our affected Fox DVR programming and re-entered as well as updating software on the Hopper. Will see if any change tomorrow. It would also show crazy times, like an hour show being 3 hours 17 minutes...

    Latest Price Increase - $5

    Thank you for your comment Tampa8, However in moving from the top 250 to 200, we would be loosing many of the movie channels which we rely on for entertainment. It's not impossible to still get a "customer loyalty" discount, but just seems harder and harder. Now Chiller has been removed...

    Latest Price Increase - $5

    All I know is that my bill increased and I haven't had the local NBC (KTVM) channel in weeks!!! On a fixed income - no eating out, or movies - so this is our only entertainment. Been a Dish customer over 20 years. Getting harder and harder to negotiate with Dish for any type of customer...

    All Timers Gone! Cannot reprogram "Timer Creation Failed"

    What's happening? Just turned the TV on for the day and noticed the afternoon show we record and watch was not in the DVR file. Checked and discovered that all our timers are gone and it will not even let us try to re-create them. Get a "Timer Creation Failed" Notice. Try later.... No...

    Switching 52.0 remote to Joey and 40.0 to Hopper

    Thank you, worked perfectly. I did ask one of the DIRT members about switching out the 52,0 for a 40.0, but was told we would need to buy the 40.0 We have the service plan, so thought that might make a difference in getting one for free, but no luck.

    Switching 52.0 remote to Joey and 40.0 to Hopper

    We upgraded a few weeks ago to the Hopper3 and remote Joey's after having the 722 forever.. My elderly husband just cannot get the hang of the new main remote (52.0) compared to the 40.0 on the Joeys which is virtually identical to the old remote from the 722 (21.1). He is getting so frustrated...

    VIP211 Dying, dying, Dead?

    Have a VIP 211 receiver which has a problem getting progressively worse until this morning when I think it finally died. This is in the bedroom, so doesn't get a lot of use except in the mornings. During the last month it would start to shut itself down and reboot for no reason (not the 3:00...

    Cannot view downloaded movies from Blockbuster 145 error

    Maybe one of the DIRT team could pass this on. All I have gotten from several people is that this is a Known Problem and it would be passed on to engineering -- perhaps not an engineering problem, but a human programming one.

    Cannot view downloaded movies from Blockbuster 145 error

    Without starting a new topic -- it has happened again with the move "All is Lost". However, I believe I have found the culprit. Did a search of movies using the genre, release date, etc. menu and the movie shows as FREE in both SD & HD. HOWEVER, find the movie by typing in the title and it shows...

    Cannot view downloaded movies from Blockbuster 145 error

    Just a quick update. Over 30 days has passed and the movie still has not purged itself from the queue (sp), so no movies can be downloaded and accessed from the "My Rentals" section.

    Cannot view downloaded movies from Blockbuster 145 error

    I have seen this problem posted on a few different websites, but have not seen any solution. My receiver is a VIP722K. Several weeks ago I downloaded a few movies and today started viewing them. When I scrolled down to "The Power of Few" I get the error 145 code "server connection failure -...

    Did they ever fix the DD Optical audio

    Total newbie (well an old newbie in years), so no snide remarks please. I found this forum doing a search regarding my problem. I had a dish 6000 and purchased a Zenith DA3520 DVD/Surround Sound. Everything worked and sounded great. I just upgraded to a 811. The connections from the 6000...
