If it's too good to be true...

Of course it's not legit. Dish has sued some of the companies selling these boxes but I haven't seen them go after users yet. I wouldn't chance it.

Maybe the incident one out of Chicago :biggrin

SD is unwatchable on anything other than a CRT.

Are they even making any new Hopper 3's? I'd think they're just sending refurbs out at this point.

That's my setup, a Wally runs to all TVs in the house. With streaming and OTA, there's no need for every TV to be tuned to a different Dish channel, this isn't 2005.

I still say the Wally is the way to go. They're only $60/ea, the second one is $5/mo and after the one time DVR fee, no other monthly fees. Uses the same LNB as the 722 and connects up like all the old school Dish receivers telstar is familiar with. It's as close to the Dish experience in 1997...

My Wally has been very sluggish lately. I hit the skip ahead button and nothing happens for a couple seconds.

I didn't realize the "Fall TV Season" was still a thing.

If it's crashing and rebooting, it's usually the caps. Pull the cover and see if any are bulging.

That's the biggest issue with them.

It won't take long, once you get used to it the 54.0 is a great remote.

Well....I can tell you why :biggrin I had two 50.0 remotes paired to a Wally. Used one of them to go into sys info and pair the 60.0. The 60.0 immediately assumed the identity of the 50.0 I went into the sys info with! Same name, same TV brand. Problem is, it also caused the other 50.0 to do...

So I had to buy one, this thing is much bigger and much heavier than expected. Haven't set it up yet.

Yes and if you add the OTA tuner it gives you 4 tuners to record from. Poor man's Hopper.

I just tell them it's completely dead and won't do anything to avoid the flowchart of checks they have. I hung on to my ViPs too long, should have switched to a Wally long before I did.

I get what you're saying but that's old school thinking. People can subscribe to YTTV, but their own streaming devices (or just used apps already built into their TV) and stream 3 channels at the same time for no additional cost. To me it only makes sense to buy Wallys. Avoid the DVR fee and...

That's the great thing about these streaming services, no contracts, no tech appointments to install hardware. A few clicks and you have a different service provider!

Knowing Google, they probably will. They are still honoring a promo they launched for Google Play Music, which morphed into YouTube Premium. 12 years later I'm still paying $7.99/mo. If you signed up in the first 30 days for Google Play Music they promised $7.99 for life, most companies would...

I'd just disconnect the coax in the box and remove the grounding cable. Those clips pull right out of the siding.

Even my Wally does it. Nothing to do with the remote, just a software bug.

1 ESPN, 1 FX, 1 Disney, 1 Nat Geo is all that's needed. Content was a lot better when we only had 36 channels.

Spectrum losing 109k internet subs is the double whammy. Cord cutting 2.0 is here, 5G is a great alternative to cable internet.

All junk channels.

Darn it, I just shipped my last 922 off to the guy that asked for one 3 days ago.
