    Official - I have a Hopper 3 Thread!

    Dish has had this function for years by using the pip software. You could simply freeze the program you were watching, press the swap button without opening a PIP screen, and freeze and swap between 2 the tuners at will - my prefered way to watch 2 programs at once in lieu of the annoying (but...

    Dish Vs Direct Tv

    Sam, I have had D and DTV, when available, for over 15 years, and continuously since 2003. Neither ever had everything I wanted. For now, it's not even close - it's Dish by a mile. Until DTV updates it interface and. speeds up it's operations, I will use Dish primarily I'm sure DTV could...

    Switched from Dish Hopper to DTV Genie - First Impressions

    I have both, and I just switched back and forth on fox, espn, and network channels. No difference in pic from nose to screen to 10 feet. I have a high end 55" lcd tv - maybe it's up scaling both pics to same resolution. What is different is the Hopper changes channels almost instantly while...

    Hopper with Sling Software Version S342 Remote Control Color Button Menu Shortcut List

    Thanks. If you push yellow-2-1, chart says "Favorites" come up. What does that page look like? Does it bring up a screen of different menu options such as "all hd" and "all sd' and "all channels" and a list named and selected by user? Or does it go direct to your list of favorites?.

    Necessary to remove the dish when a hurricane is on the way?

    I have Dish and DTV dishes on the OBX of NC. Four hurricanes up to 115 and numerous NorEasters with gusts over 80mph in last 10 years. Never touched the dishes except when upgrading. Hope I never find out about faster winds:-)

    picture-in-picture

    I use PIP often during football season, and have had both Dish and DTV since the 1998 because neither alone had all the channels I wanted to watch. So every tv I bought had PIP. Then Dish added PIP, and it was better than the built in versions on the TV, so I dropped it as a requirement for...

    Ordered a 922 VIP Sling versus an old 622. Hope I made the right choice.

    Maybe you'll get lucky like me. I upgraded to the 922 about 6 months after it came out, primarily for the sling feature. Have had no problems with it - rebooted it twice since I got it. The sling was flaky at first, but almost always works well for me now, and I use it a lot on laptops...

    HR34 vs. HR44

    Just got a quick look at a DTV tv adv saying they get rid of all wires to your tvs. Adv shows before and after pic of a tv with lots of exposed wires attached and then wall mounted with no wires, with family celebrating the new look. Quite a promise. The adv didn't reference any hardware...

    What's Up With The Lack Of 3D Broadcasting

    ESPN has 3d channels and is showing the Masters in 3d this week. But you'll need DTV to see it because Dish and ESPN aren't cooperating. Not a great loss - it's like the early days of HD, repeats most of the time, with a few real jewels every now and then.

    HR 34 Worth the Upgrade?

    Thanks guys. Sounds as though I need to get a 24 (or 2) for now and let the 34 "cure" for a while. JohnW

    DIRECTV's Masters Tournament Coverage A ‘Gimme' For Golf Fans Who Want In-depth Coverage

    R&D, I agree with you. I switched to the 3d version at 4:30. Maybe they didn't advertise it because their production isn't really ready for "prime time." I'm very glad they are trying, but it's a tossup as to whether I'll switch today. Biggest reason to watch isn't 3d, it's no commercials...

    DIRECTV's Masters Tournament Coverage A ‘Gimme' For Golf Fans Who Want In-depth Coverage

    Sorry - didn't mean to question whether it is in 3d or not, but why there is no publicity for it. I've seen only one ad in the many Masters pro-mos on CBS that mention 3d. Why the total silence - they're spending the money to provide it? Is DTV the only 3d broadcaster for ESPN 3d. It is...

    HR 34 Worth the Upgrade?

    I have an hr22-100. It is excruciatingly slow in every function compared to my Dish 922. It takes 4-7 seconds to change channels! Is the hr34 faster? I've had dtv for ten years - any chance of a deal for the 34 through retention? John W

    Questions for the Dish Tech Team?

    Scott, ask Dish to provide instant access to a "Quick List" of a few most viewed channels with a SINGLE push of a remote button, as on DTV. Or if there is a way now to do that, please explain it to me - can't get it now in less than 6 or more pushes using various buttons. Shouldn't have to buy...

    Slow Hr-22-100 Piss poor CS

    Add my HR22 to the list - now takes over 30 seconds to change the channel - if you can get it to take the number. It just seems to randomly "go to sleep" for up to a minute or so. Real annoying.

    Dish Remote Access Android App Help

    Tony, couldn't use that speed test - this is a Superpad sold by Amazon, it has the latest Android 2.1 update on it, but of course there is no flash on 2.1. Other tests show speed between 3-8mbs, depending on the test. I get 15-20 on my desktop and wireless laptop, and it works flawlessly...

    Dish Remote Access Android App Help

    TonyT, DRA works on my 10" tablet, but the picture stutters whether high or low res - audio is fine. All other video is fine - youtube full screen hd, etc. Is DRA supposed to provide full screen on 10", or just phones. Anything special required for larger screens?

    How 'bout the Cooking Channel? Based on record earnings, don't see why management would waste money on more HD soon.

    What TABLET's do or don't work with Dish Remote Access?

    Thanks for the comments. I did root the tablet and installed Marketplace, which works well as do most aps. The DRA trys to start, but only flashes a black screen with a Dish header before dropping out and returning to the home screen. This with no other aps running. Since I primarily want...

    What TABLET's do or don't work with Dish Remote Access?

    Anyone have it working? I know my Android 2.1 Coby MID7015 doesn't, and another posting notes that Archos 101 doesn't either. Please add your success or lack thereof with your tablet to this thread. I'm taking mine back, but need info to purchase another. I'm sure I'm not the only one who...
