    Flex Pack Options

    I’m trying out the flex pack. A couple of questions: 1) I’ve read that add-on “channel” packs can be added/removed without penalty and are prorated for the time you had it. Is that still true and does it apply to all add-on packages. There was a comment made a year ago on some other post that...

    Returning Joey We Don’t Use Anymore

    I have a wired Joey in a room we don’t use anymore and was thinking of saving myself $7/month by “deactivating” it. Can I deactivate it online? I seem to recall paying Dish $50 for it. If true, is it mine to keep or do I need to return it? I don’t know if that was an activation fee I might...

    EHD Not Working

    My EHD I’ve had for a number of years is not showing up in the DVR section. I have 2 EHDs and the other one is working fine. I tried swapping out the USB cable, resetting the Hopper 3 receiver, unplugging the EHD, and unplugging the receiver. No luck with any of those. Any ideas on additional...

    Offered Peacock Free For 6 Mouths

    I have Xfinity internet (no TV). I signed up for the free version of Peacock yesterday using my Comcast email. Today (just about 24 hours after I signed up) I received an offer for 6 months of free Peacock Premium service. No requirement to take their Flex device. The offer becomes invalid if...

    Pac-12 Showing All Live Sports From Regional Networks

    Looks like Dish is again showing all live sporting events from the Pac-12 regional networks on all those alt channels that have been sitting around unused for years. These are the events not being shown live on the main national network. This is something Dish used to do way back in the day but...

    Receiver Upgrade For Elderly Father In-law

    My 88 year old father in-law wants to upgrade his dish receiver. He has a 211z now, pays no monthly receiver fee, and probably wouldn’t use a DVR. Looking online, is the Wally the upgrade path for non-DVR receivers? Will he get a monthly receiver fee if he upgrades? Sent from my iPhone using...

    SSD or HDD for Hopper 3 EHD

    I saw a thread from over a year ago debating whether or not it’s ok to use a SSD for a Hopper 3 EHD. There was no definitive conclusion at the time. Has this issue evolved since then to the point where SSD’s are considered acceptable for Hopper 3’s? It’s getting harder to find external HDD’s in...

    Locast Wrong City Error

    I’m in the Seattle DMA (5 miles from the antennas which I can see out my window) and I’m getting a “wrong city” error on both FireTV and AppleTV. Reinstalling the Locast app didn’t help. Any ideas on how to fix it? It acts like it’s geofencing has locked my account onto a wrong location. I’m...

    OTA Tuner Not Working

    My Hopper3 is not recognizing the OTA tuner (older single tuner). I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in as well as using a different USB port. Did a reset and also unplugged the Hopper for +10 seconds. Is my OTA tuner dead? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Random Pixelation

    Occasionally I’m getting momentary pixelation while watching live TV on my Hopper 3. It’s very similar to watching an OTA channel that momentarily loses its lock but in this case it’s while watching satellite channels. I haven’t noticed any pattern to it. Seems to happen on different channels...

    Live Stream via Hopper 3

    Does the Hopper3 offer the same “live stream” option you get via the DishAnywhere mobile and FireTV app? On those apps, you get to it via the guide as a sub-option. I’ve looked around but don’t see it anywhere on the Hopper. Perhaps it’s not there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dish Movie Pack Deals?

    Has anyone gotten a discount recently on the Dish Movie Pack? My 1/2 off deal for 6 months expired. I used to re-up it by going to Dish’s site and going thru the motions of dropping the package. It would automatically offer me the deal again if I kept it, but they’ve taken that away / “fixed it”.

    VOD vs Streaming VOD

    I was looking at the uplink report and noted “SVOD” being tested on some entries which I’m assuming is streaming VOD. What’s the difference between that and just plain VOD? Is streaming VOD via the Hopper typically equivalent to satellite channel HD quality with 60 FPS? Sent from my iPhone...

    Getting promo when trying to cancel premium movie packages

    I know this was talked about a fair amount a few months ago, but wanted to check in on what the latest is. 1) Has anyone lately gotten a 1/2 half promo for a premium movie package when they’ve tried to cancel online? Or, have they removed all of them? 2) Does Dish charge you a fee if you...

    AirTV Stutter

    I’m trying out AirTV (new black box). I’m getting occasional momentary stutters. I’m curious if others have seen this and have suggestions on how to correct. We live within 5 miles of most of the broadcast towers and the signals appear strong for the majority of channels using the SlingTV app...

    Connect antenna to Joey Instead of Hopper

    Can I connect my OTA antenna to my Joey instead of my Hopper (it’s upstairs where the reception is better)? If I can, will the Hopper see the local channels on its EPG or will it be limited to just that Joey?

    How to Get Pac-12 Channel

    The new conference channels launch on Monday. I read they are Xtra channels. I’ve always been confused on what those channels are. Basically, I’m wondering how I get it in my 2016 Rav4. Is there a site that tells me this? I’ve tried looking into it before. All signs seem to point toward our...
