    211K vs Wally, which uses less power?

    I just bought a newer smaller RV and want to do some Boondocking. Which uses less electricity? I already have the 211K (owned) but the Wally has a smaller footprint (so I've read) which is an advantage. Planning on getting the Wingard 7000 (never going to have 2 TVs).

    How to set up manual tuners on HWS.

    I used to use the DVR button 4 times and then green button. That no longer works. Anyone have any idea how I can set up manual timers since the update? I'm still on U234 right now.

    Thinking of bundling Dish internet (DSL) and TV

    I've had Dish for TV service for many years (1997 or so). Considering the new DSL service, but there are too many unknowns for me to just jump right in: 1. If my modem can't be used, they lease me one ... can't find anywhere what that cost will be. 2. Has anybody gotten hooked up and was...

    Question about RS Net (ROOT)

    Thinking about downgrading one package (currently have Top 250) and nowhere in the channel lineups can I find if Regional Sports Network is available on ANY of the packages. I know I don't pay extra for them, but can't find it listed under any package. So, what's the scoop?

    Watching Sports on RS Net (ROOT), can't access guide

    This just started today, I'm at a loss as what to do. I was watching the Rockies on Root accessed from the RS Net and decided to check on TV on tonight the networks. Can't do it. If I put in, say channel 11, it does nothing. If I don't use the guide and just pick 11, it goes to channel 11...

    Programs with wrong "first airing date" not recording

    I like to record and watch "Race Hub" on FS1. I've always had it set to record new. It was not recording Mon, Tue and again today. When I checked the first airing date, it always showed 11/2/1009. Anyone else have this issue. Once it happened on Monday, I checked both Tuesday and today...

    Manual timers, any way on Hopper?

    With the cancellation of today's NASCAR race, I need a way to record tomorrow on Fox starting at Noon Eastern time. I remember something about doing manual timers using the Dish Anywhere, but had no luck with that, and can't find any way using all I know with the Hoppers' menus. I searched the...

    Recent Dish CS experience

    Just an interesting interaction with a couple of Dish CS agents. Background: My Hopper2000 recently started not responding and doing random reboots. First CS agent realized I had done all of the normal "fixes" quickly and suggested they would replace the Hopper. I asked if we could do an...

    Any issue with 1000.2 in Alabama?

    Going to be taking the 5th wheel from Colorado to Alabama (Montgomery area) for Christmas and while I've heard that the 1000.2 works that far east, just want to make sure. We have the Winegard Travler which automatically locates the satellites, but just want to be sure. Thanks in advance!

    Dish Anywhere: Says Receiver not connected to internet

    Whenever I attempt to use Dish Anywhere, whether at a PC or my android phone or tablet, I get the error message that my receiver is not connected to the internet. It keeps wanting me to reboot the receiver and/or router. If that doesn't work, then try to reconnect with the button below (which...

    Big shout out to Zach ... DIRT

    Just wanted to give a big shout out to DIRT member Zach. I had purchased a Hopper and had spent two months working with CSR and Dish "upper tier" people trying to get my purchased Hopper listed as that and not leased. Nothing worked. Sent Zach a message and he got it done in a couple of days...

    New Hopper compatible with old Hopper?

    Anyone have any idea if the new Hopper will be compatible with the old Hopper system? I really like the idea of transferred material, but no way will I update all my Hoppers. Of course, that's only when they make the transfers work with Android.

    New Hopper install with Joey on S271?

    I just received my third Hopper and am about to hook it up, get initialized and then connected with an existing Joey. The Joey is on S271. If what I'm reading is right, most likely the Hopper will get S229 or S230 for it's initial software load. Also, from what others are saying, the Joey...

    Upgrade to 2nd Hopper questions

    I think I have this figured out, but wanted to bounce it off the experts here. Currently have 1 Hopper/3 Joey system. Works great. Want to add a Hopper or just replace one Joey with a Hopper, haven't decided whether or not I need another receiver on the account. Technically, I have a 2...

    Upgrade options for DVR

    Ok, guys, go easy on me. I have Dish and my MIL has Direct TV. She does not have HD and does not have a DVR. It drives me crazy every time I go to visit. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't expect her to switch and have never tried, but this no DVR thing has to go. She doesn't have any HD TVs...

    Turned OFF Hopper or Joey drains remote's batteries

    Wondered if anyone else has noticed this and why it happens. I keep a Hopper and Joey in my 5th wheel turned off whenever I'm not traveling, wanting to avoid high temp issues with either one. When I went to set up during our last travel, the remotes for both the Hopper and Joey were almost...

    Hoak issue resolved?

    Went to check on what's on TV this evening and the two TV stations owned by Hoak in Grand Junction, Colorado are back on Dish. Anybody else seeing their locals back on that were gone?

    Thoughts: Can't receive ESPN, others

    I have a service call this coming Tuesday for the frequent freezing up of the Hopper. That said, I have an additional issue that is really irritating. I can't watch ESPN (channel 140). I get error 015 and it is trying to find the satellite. However, when I go to setup on the Hopper, it shows...

    Recording issues, what happens when Hopper needs replaced

    I've had the same issue happen at least 3 times. When watching a recorded show, suddenly the "Live TV" and "pause" start flashing at the same time. I can't fast forward, rewind, or anything. Nothing I try fixes it at that time. I have learned that I can turn off the Hopper and then turn it...

    Install begins at 2:30 Mountain time. Tech shows up with all he needs to do Hopper/3 Joey in house and is doing our 5th wheel also with Hopper and Joey. Will let those wondering about RV installs how it goes.

    Multiple Joeys see the same programs?

    This may be silly, but I've seen enough posts about setting up recordings and such tying up tuners on Joeys that I'm wondering if multiple Joeys can see the same program (tuner). In other words, say I want to see the same program in the bedroom and guest room on their Joeys, is there any issue...

    Three Hopper system possible? DIRT input maybe needed.

    Actually a 2 Hopper system and a single Hopper system. We just figured out that what we ordered isn't going to work (Install set for tomorrow afternoon). We ordered 2 Hoppers and 4 Joeys. But, that's not just for our house. One Hopper and 3 Joeys are for the house and One Hopper and 1 Joey...

    PIP with Hopper

    I've never used the PIP feature of my receiver (722). I always hooked up TV1 and TV2 to my TV and used those to PIP using my Vizio TV. So, a two pronged question. With the Hopper, is this possible? Does the Dish PIP work pretty good in case there is no way to "input" two signals with the...

    Anyone done RV with Hopper/Joey?

    Just curious, I'm set up to have an install this coming Tuesday. Was told by DIRT that having my 5th wheel done with a Hopper/Joey was not an issue, but that the tech may not be willing to climb up on top of the camper and set it up. I said as long as he leaves me the Hopper and Joey and the...
