    New Hopper Model?

    As much of this thread pertains to, you guys are the exception and not the norm. Dish can't account for every single customer and therefore some things just aren't feasible. The 40 remote for dish can be "taught" almost anything short of programming macros. Macros are on my wish list as an...

    All scheduled recordings are "No Info Available"

    I'm a dish tech and the only time I've run into this scenario was because of signal strength. In that situation 129 had lost signal on the lnbf causing all the timers set to be recorded on that bird to fail and show "no info available" only on the timer schedule screen.

    New DISH Hopper Won't Connect Over HDMI

    I agree. As a tech, I often set resolution to 1080 regardless of the TV. 99% of the time it doesn't matter. However in your case I would try adjusting resolution settings using your composite cables. If this doesn't fix it, try component cables. Last would be to replace the Hopper for a bad HDMI...

    How to disable bridging on s213

    Here is a temporary band aid fix that dish gave us techs yesterday to alleviate some of the issues with Joey messages 1228 1229 black screen, etc. Warning...this will disable on demand and BB@h and other online content at the Joey, but at least you'll have TV and DVR. Again, this is a band aid...

    QUESTION - What do you like about the Hopper

    I agree with most of the stuff mentioned. One thing I have really appreciated is the ability to fine tune the TV stretch format. On my particular TV I had to reduce the screen size twice to read all the guide logos.

    Scott's Hopper Thoughts

    I've also read and read these posts waiting to make a comment. Being a dns technician, I've been very excited about this. At first I was really upset with not getting the first joey free of fees. However the more i think about it, im ok with it. I currently have a 722k in the living room in...

    Is there a maximum number of tuners on Twin LNB

    to continue.. .3 receivers could be fighting over 2 tuners which ive only personally seen done using d* splitter. Just from my own limited personal experience.

    Is there a maximum number of tuners on Twin LNB

    not that it matters now since he did the service call yesterday, but i'm sure by "twin" he meant dual lnbf. Im guessing he was looking at a dual dp quad lnbf. One output each solo receiver and two outputs for the 322. Otherwise there was a switch somewhere in the system. Or he is at a bad...

    DISH Network Wants to Offer Nationwide LTE service

    This is all part of the vision for Dish according to my Regional Operations Manager. Dish owns the 3rd largest wireless spectrum behind att and verizon. But ours is completely unused because of an fcc requirement that you must be a telephone company to use the wireless airspace. This is why dish...

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    Scott did it I'm pretty sure that Scott single handedly took out 129 last night in order to generate more traffic for his upcoming server upgrade. Just saying. LMAO.

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    I was thinking the same thing. My TC12 better not reflect this. Tomorrow will be interesting.

    Sat 110 73 signal stength will not lock in on green

    Wow. From reading your previous posts, im floored! You obviously are a self taught installer. I learned more by following a technician for one week than you have learned in 5 months. How can you peak a dish if you dont eveb understand the basic fundamentals of satellite alignment in orbit? Im...

    Question for the installers

    To jbull.....the 1000.4 is actually easier to set than the 500. It has stronger signal and far better fine tuning capability.

    Question for the installers

    Oh, and finally. Now that you have peaked on 72 or 119, since it is the middle lnb, if your signal levels are extremely low on your other sats, all you need to go back to is the adjustment of the skew. But very very minimally. Congrats. Eventually youll take great pride when you arrive at your...

    Question for the installers

    Ok. You finally got me to register. Im an installer but have only been doing it for four months. As far as peaking your dish, 1000.4 ea peak on 72. Wa on 119. Use the dish pointer to give you skew settings for the zip youre in and lock that in. Dont mess with skew anymore. Next tune elev...
