    Hopper with Sling Versions (China mfg in 2012 vs India refurbished 2020)

    After almost 15 years with DISH and several receivers--had 2 receivers--upgraded 2021 so both are Hoppers with Sling (change in usage and failure of newer Hopper to solve OTA recording pixellation issues), am downgrading to just one Hopper with Sling (not choosing Hopper 3 due to extra cost on...

    VOD Pay PerView Problems with unwanted movie rentals

    (Back to Sat Guys since old C Band days, so bear with me--not sure if this thread exists already. Had this problem since June where when trying to use the Pay Per View Certificates (free in the Stars and Stripe Pack for Veteran husband), whenever I ordered a VOD movie--either on MyDish app, or...

    Problem getting Hopper with Sling to pair with iPad for Dish Transfer

    We have the same problem as of a few weeks ago. We have 2 Hoppers, one with wireless and one with ethernet connections to the Linksys router. We cannot "connect" to either my Android tablet or husband's Ipad 2. We have tried everything, talked to multiple Dish reps, local Dish installer...

    Another local off dish amid dispute (Fox Sioux Falls, SD)

    Iceberg Unfortunately, I found this out AND see that my OTA guide data FOR KTTW is blocked also. I can access a guide and select the channel via my DishAnywhere app on my Tablet. Called Dish twice and they suggest I watch FOX on my Tablet. Ugh! Can't set up recordings on the Hopper, or is...

    New Upgrade Prices for Hopper w/ Sling

    I guess I am neither Plan A or Plan B, but my account is in good standing, but only customer for about 8 months--quote $200 to upgrade, so just wonder?

    After new update DVR no longer plays back smoothly--skips, pauses, stops

    Thanks--the node is inside the house--laying flat--does it need to lie flat like the OTA Usb dongle? I wonder about moisture somewhere or grounding? But now, not sure how the tech is going to troubleshoot when the messages are no longer appearing--but will try to note, if the errors come up...

    After new update DVR no longer plays back smoothly--skips, pauses, stops

    Right--as it does not appear on the other receiver, but.... Does the tech have a way to electronically test the LNBF at the Dish because, after the looonnnng depowering--pulling plug for 20 minutes, the 2nd Hopper that had the LNB drift error message now does not show that message and not...

    After new update DVR no longer plays back smoothly--skips, pauses, stops

    What should the technician do to correct this problem? What might have caused it--after being installed and working ok for 2 months? Already tried switching the 2 node outputs from the dual node, but could be bad node and/or LNB?

    After new update DVR no longer plays back smoothly--skips, pauses, stops

    UPDATE to the Above--would appreciate any input, especially from a DISH tech or the "DIRT" team????? In another forum or topic thread, I read that someone with a similar problem pulled the power for a longer period of time than 10 secs, so I did that yesterday--for about 20 minutes. So far...

    Hopper playback choppy

    The past few days (have had my Hopper since Nov 9) all of a sudden, after a few hours of usage, any DVR recordings I start to play or if I pause any live tv and then start to reply or resume, the resulting play is full of skips, jerky, loss of sound, recorded content--really unwatchable. So all...

    NO GUIDE DATA Past Sunday Noon--Tried everything--have the new software and USB OTA dongle

    This was very helpful--thanks. I had made 3 calls to DISH about this issue and noone ever said to turn the Hopper off and have an available tuner (i.e.--that means I could still be recording something, as long as one tuner is not recording?). So, that's why I saw no fill-in right away. Now...

    NO GUIDE DATA Past Sunday Noon--Tried everything--have the new software and USB OTA dongle

    I see, this morning, my guide as repopulated out about 9 days and I wish I knew what, of the above items, did the trick. When you did the red button reset (I did that also), did the guide start to repopulate right away or did it wait for the nightly resend? So, theoretically, each night, it...

    NO GUIDE DATA Past Sunday Noon--Tried everything--have the new software and USB OTA dongle

    About a week or so again, got the 230 upgrade and my OTA works, but, for about that long, I just discovered, no guide data is being generated past this Sunday at noon. We have 2 hoppers. The other hopper's guide data is just fine (it does not have the OTA USB dongle, but it did get the...

    Delete Recording Folder--recordings can never be permanently deleted

    I was surprised that the "RECYCLE" bin of Deleted Recordings can never be permanently emptied! How quickly will the hard drive fill up at that rate? I don't want to keep a backup copy of every recording I make! I want to choose which I want to permanently delete. Can Dish alter this new...

    Left Dish after 14 years for Directv

    I just switched to Dish from Direct & was pleasantly surprised at the Dish PQ. But I went from an HR20 to the Hopper. Loved getting the 3 hr guide back. The Hopper seems to have best overall PQ, with Direct very, very slightly better on sharpness due to Native pass through that Dish doesn't...

    Diffrence between dish and Dtv ondemand

    Thanks--that helps--right now I can access MGM HD with Direct only via Internet--it's very slow, but it works and I can view 1080p without paying additional for VOD Cinema. I don't think it can keep me from switching to DISH--I need to go into a local dealer and view the PQ of Dish on Hopper HD...

    Potential New Customer but CSR says I can't use a local dealer to give me 2 Hoppers????

    So does this mean I really should wait to install the 2nd hopper--until I am officially a "customer" and then can ask for the 2nd Hopper for $50? Is there an additional fee to install as an upgrade (since it probably needs another line and node coming from the dish) at a later time than initial...

    Diffrence between dish and Dtv ondemand

    Yes, I would have Internet and use the Hopper--with Direct TV, there are a LOT of programs and channels under VOD, but they have to download via the internet, not via the Satellite. So just trying to see if the MGM HD from DISH includes the 1080p downloads?

    Diffrence between dish and Dtv ondemand

    Thanks for everyone's opinions--I am wondering if I can find someone who could actually try this out to answer my question--I doubt a CSR could help me, but maybe I will call and try, but could someone who has the Hopper, go to the On Demand (if they are subscribed to Blockbuster which has MGM...

    Diffrence between dish and Dtv ondemand

    Do you happen to know if, like DTV, the On Demand for MGM has 1080p option to download--this is the only free 1080p programming you can get with DTV--if you are subscribed to MGM TV (HD Extra Pack), then the On Demand has movies that are mostly 1080p and free download--is this the same with...

    Potential New Customer but CSR says I can't use a local dealer to give me 2 Hoppers????

    I have 2 TV's and my husband and I routinely watch 2 different channels and record 2 different other channels at the same time, so a Hopper and a Joey will still not allow that. The only option is 2 Hoppers. BUt here are my questions: 1) If I choose a local dealer, the CSR says they cannot...

    Lease more than one 922 per account

    Thinking of switching to Dish from DTV -- will 922 be best? I know I can get a free Hopper, but does the 922 have more than one HD output (i.e. 2 HD outputs from 2 HD tuners?)? It is $10, but is the DVR fee also $7? Does the 922 have an OTA RF antenna input? I have rooftop antenna to get...

    hr34 dvr

    I have the old Choice Extra + Hd DVR package, so $7 DVR fee is included. I have 2 HR 20's. Am a customer since 2007. If I replace one with the HR 34, then do I need the 2nd HR 20 or can I get by with a H20 receiver only? How will it affect the DVR fee ($7) and the Leased Receiver fee...
