    S 238?

    Seems to me and my wife that with s238 the guide has a bit more contrast and therefore easier to read. My wife noticed this before she knew of the update so I'm thinking it's not my imagination.

    Hopper OTA What antenna

    Two suggestions. First is to call one of those stations that are 72 miles away and see if they can tell you what people in your area are using. Second is to go the TV Fool, enter your address info and see what's recommended. http://www.tvfool.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29

    My OTA reception has become progressively worse with each software update to the point where ABC is now unwatchable with s234. I posted more info on the "Hopper OTA usb problem" thread.

    Hopper OTA USB problems

    My OTA reception has become progressively worse with each software update to the point where ABC is now unwatchable for me. For those interested in the details here they are. Hopefully they can give the DIRT team some useful information. I live in Salem (the Roanoke Valley) in the southwest...

    Keeping snow off dish

    Best solution I've heard of is placing a flood light just behind the dish. When snow is forecast turn it on and will keep the dish above freezing. Seems reasonable to me if you live in Minnesota or Flagstaff.

    Hopper OTA USB problems

    I just experienced my 4th black screen today, something I never had with my 622. This tread is now 2 weeks and 104 post old with lots of speculation as to what may be causing the problem (I've read each one) and I'm disappointed that we've received no indication that DIRT has been monitoring...

    Hopper S222 Feedback

    Still on s222 so your probably right. I'm waiting for the latest update so I can use my OTA tuner and maybe it'll fix the Pandora problem too. Interesting though that I can't find anyone else with the exiting issue regardless of which software they're on. Thanks for the reply.

    Hopper S222 Feedback

    Pandora Problem Have Pandora up and running just fine but whenever I exit I can't get back to watching TV without a reboot. Tech support hasn't been able to help. Pandora's screen offers 3 "exit" options: Live TV, Sign Out, and one other that I can't recall. I think I've even used the...

    Hopper S229 / S230 Feedback!

    Ordered my tuner Tuesday afternoon and it came today. Now if the newest software would only show up I'd be in business. I've only had my hopper/joeys for about a week so don't know if that puts me at the top or bottom of the spooling. Probably doesn't matter. Interesting that Dish shipped...

    looking into a job with a dish network subcontractor in dayton ohio

    Bennie, I know things are tough in this economy and people all over are doing things they wouldn't have done not long ago, but I do have one comment to make. The red flag for me was not being paid during the first month of training. A company should be more than willing to invest in their...

    722k OTA antenna height.

    If you're interested in getting complete info try TV Fool for antenna needs. TV Fool I've found this site is by far the best I've seen, although wkomorow's post about placement being art and science is definitely true. I can move my antenna one foot in ether direction and loose all my OTAs...

    Which TV is best for Dish?

    I agree completely. Sony products are over rated and over priced. Samsung or Panasonic offer high quality and fair pricing.

    Which TV is best for Dish?

    My son is a manager for Samsung and this topic recently came up. He says their Wal-Mart units are essentially the same only lacking an input or two and maybe some setups in the menu. Nothing drastic and if you can save some money and don't mind the idea of doing business with Wal-Mart there's...

    is this remote compatible with my Dish satellite DVR box

    I've used the Haromny 670 with my VIP622 for about 4 years and it works flawlessly. The 670 seems similar to the current 650 which is one of the lower end models so I can't imagine that the 1100 wouldn't work with a 622/722 or whatever Dish throws at it. Logitech has a vast database for all...

    Free HD for Life?

    In Steve's "New Pricing Chart" thread I see at the bottom "Add HD Platinum to any HD package for $10/mo. NEW I feel pretty confident that if we can add HD Platinum we can also remove it. "Pretty Confident" = oh, let's say 95%.

    Roanoke HD Locals Tomorrow?

    Regarding CBS not showing up in HD, I emailed Jeff Marks, President and GM @ WDBJ our local CBS station asking him what was going on. Here's his response: It's simple. I have called them every day for three months to remind them that we don't have an agreement that allows this. I finally...
