    Ok, so I ordered Impact: Bound For Glory friday night from the MyDish site and it sent me a confirmation email. The event was supposed to air Saturday at 8pm. I was familiar with VIP receivers and knew they said Rented on the EPG. Well being new to my Hopper I didn't know if it had that on...

    Frame By Frame on Hopper 54.0 remote?

    I could have swore there was a way to skip frame by frame on this remote... I tried to send Dish a message on Facebook and they said yeah, there is a way to do it and directed me to the page on their site where you press the buttons to see what they do. So really they didn't exactly tell me how...

    pointing at 61.5 & 72.7 with 1000.4 WA dish

    I am trying to point at satellites 61.5 and 72.7 with a 1000.4 western arc dish, I know that you can point at those SATs with a dish 500, I think I also heard you can with a dish 1000.4, so how would I do that? Cover the 110 & 129 and put the dish scew at 90 and aim for 61.5 with the 119 lnb and...
