    Replacement HR44

    HI, The HDMI port on my HR44 was damaged in a storm last week. I don't have the DirecTV protection plan. Is there anyway to get a replacement receiver without having to pay $399.00? I am not planning on keeping DirecTV after my contract expires in January 2018.

    DishNET internet

    My DishNet (exede) is much faster than my old wildblue service but it is not as fast as my Verizon phone 4G LTE hotspot. The negative for the hotspot is sometimes I can't get connected. You just have to be very careful about the amount of data you download. I don't do more than 1 or 2 movies on...

    I just had dishnet installed last week and could test as long as it doesn't cause me to use all my monthly internet time. It is the viasat/exede version. Donna

    Hopper S229 / S230 Feedback!

    Has anyone received the update in the last few days? I am still waiting. I fall asleep to the bedroom TV with one of the Joeys. Everynight at 1am the signal shuts off. I turn back on the signal when I wake up in the middle of the night and it is too quiet. I have the hopper in standby mod at...

    Google and Dish Network allegedly in talks for new wireless service

    Actually their are only very small areas where the service is available. There is one small area on the MO side and one on the KS side. They have to get commitments from a large number of the residents in an area for them to run the fiber optics. Many of the residents in the center city...

    Need Information on Hoppers

    I should have made myself clearer. I am counting 6 tuners because they are getting a two hopper system. There are only 4 persons in the household. Donna in KC

    Need Information on Hoppers

    I have a friend that asked me how they could set up 8 HD TVs on a hopper system. I know that Dish supposedly only supports 6 devices. The 6 tuners is OK with them as there aren't that many persons in the household but they just want the option to watch in HD on all 8 TVs. Can anyone tell me how...

    How can I prevent Joey from being left on accidently all day?

    I am new to Dish and the hopper. Could someone please step me through how to get to the Inactivity Standby screen. I tried looking in the manual online at Dish but it wasn't clear and I have tried what I thought was every combination of buttons. Thanks, Donna in KC

    HIC/Broadband Connection Question

    Thanks for your answers. We ended up temporarily using the coax in the room with the router to hook up the HIC. This room won't be permanently connected to the Dish. It will be connected to my antenna in the attic. Temporarily I don't have any TV in that room but it is my sewing room and I don't...

    STATIONS NOT WANTED - MAKE THEM TOTALLY OPTIONAL ADD ON

    I held out as long as I could with the BUD but when my receiver died, I decided I would have to go to DISH. It is a real sticker shock since I only got a few channels that I really liked to watch each year. Donna in KC

    Minimum Programming requirement for free Hopper lowered.

    Did the minimum Dish package to get a discount on Exede also change? I want to get Hopper/Joey and Exede installed. Donna in KC

    It is a new dawn at DISH.

    I am new to Dish and planning on getting it once the hopper is available. I used my 10' dish until last year when the receiver finally bit the dust. I currently have wildblue internet and don't have any other options except my verizon hot spot on my phone which has 2GB a month. I am considering...
