    DISH Smartbox

    Update... finally completed the project. I'm very happy with my DISH Smartbox setup. My headend now takes up only 10U! I have two Smartboxes. One for public (casino, rest., bars), using QAM, so no Pro:Idiom TVs required. I am serving out 32 HD channels, plus our 4 in house channels on a...

    Claude, Can the com2000 send a non pro:idiom signal out to public TVs? A DISH installer is telling me he can sell me two Smartboxes (similar to com2000), one that sends the pro:idiom signal to our hotel rooms and one that sends a regular non encrypted signal to our public TVs on the casino...

    DISH Smartbox

    Anyone familiar with the Smartbox? I had an installer come onsite yesterday to our property to look at upgrading our TV service in our 60 room hotel and large casino floor to HD. I really like the Smartbox because I can consolidate two racks of analog equipment into 5U of space. I was told to...

    Our main 40 rooms have their own home run. Not sure about our 20 other rooms, as I only count 16 home runs coming in. Need to investigate a little. Do you see any issues sending the signal down the block, thousands of feet of coax? I'm sure we'll have to add amplifiers. I just want all of...

    Awesome, thanks! Gives me something to research now. We have such a mix of Tvs, so this could be an issue. Any other options worth looking at? Need to use old rg59 in hotel rooms and have all tvs have sam3 channel lineup. Also need to have a few in house channels going to computers.

    Hopefully I'm posting this in the right area. I'm an I.T. guy being asked to help update our TV system at our casino/hotel. We currently have 40 DirecTV receivers at the head end going into 40 modulators and broadcast the 40 analog channels to 60 hotel rooms and another 30 TVs on the casino...

    Works on my Moto X. Now do I buy a 10" Android tablet to watch movies when traveling/flying?

    Another EHD thread

    Still transferring over... only thing I did before transfering from EHD to HWS was to start recording a show. Weird.

    DIRT - DOES ANYBODY AT DISH ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT A 15-YEAR CUSTOMER??

    Ask for free movie rentals, they'll give you 3-5. Good enough for me! I'm easy to please lol

    Another EHD thread

    I rebooted Hopper and drive again, still same error 855. I realized I had no recordings on my Hopper since it was new, so I started recording whatever was on the channel I was watching. Then I tried to transfer from EHD to Hopper and now it's working. I'm trying to get everything off before...

    Another EHD thread

    Is there a way to format the Hopper's drive? Each time a transfer fails, the free space on the Hopper keeps going down. But I don't see the shows on the DVR.

    Another EHD thread

    Well, I can now see the shows on my EHD. I just left it it sit over night. I can play shows off it but get error 855 when I try to transfer any show to my Hopper. So frustrating!

    Another EHD thread

    Upgraded to HWS tonight. I copied all of my shows on my original Hopper to an external hard drive (USB only, no external power option). External Device 1 only shows if I plug in EHD and reset the Hopper. But it shows as 0MB total/free space, don't see any of my shows when I try to transfer...

    Help....upgraded from original Hopper to HWS

    Got it. Lucky got me on the right track. 1. Hit Menu button twice. 2. Unpair remote 3. Pair old remote by hitting SAT button. 4. Once paired, hold down 0 and restore from remote.

    Help....upgraded from original Hopper to HWS

    Sharing a Joey with two TVs

    Got it working with an old RF modulator. Looks decent, good enough for the MIL! Can't get an old 21.0 UHF/IR remote to work with the Joey. Any tricks? Would like both my 40.0 and the 21.0 to work at same time.

    DIRT Needed: Sling Adapter DEAD

    Thanks everyone! Just got off DISH Chat Support. They are sending me the new Hopper w/ Sling integrated at no cost. Of course it requires me to extend the contract 24 months. Had them throw in 5 movie rentals :D

    DIRT Needed: Sling Adapter DEAD

    Count me in the "Sling Adapter Is Dead" club. Tried different USB ports, unplug power from Hopper, etc. The light doesn't come on. Been like this for months. I see on the DISH forum a lot of people are having same issue in last 6 months. Can I get this replaced? I pay for the protection...

    Joey Works Without Coax Cable?

    The Joey is in the separate building connected directly to the TV, so no issues with the remote. The Joey is connected to the Hopper through a network connection (hard wired or wireless).
