    Thanks guys! :)

    Thanks! I will just hope that I will eventually live in a place where decent internet will come from any other choice than Comcast, and a good skyview. Needless to say, it hurts to watch a Dish commercial now. Comcast dares to charge $34.95 for their "digital economy" tier (Translation: 20 more...

    Thanks guys! :)

    If I lived in a better neighborhood, I would definitely consider that. In my neighborhood, I wouldn't want to risk making it even the slightest bit easier (or more tempting) to get in. Thanks for that advice though -- you may have just given me the key to getting Dish in my NEXT apartment!

    Thanks guys! :)

    I realized 1mbps was far too slow when a Youtube video, at its lowest resolution, and with nothing else utilizing my connection, could not play without repeatedly buffering. And due to distance, 1mbps was all the telco could give me.

    Thanks guys! :)

    Well, I know the internet connection is going to be better. I'm currently going the budget route, which will mean 3mbps. I thought that was slow, compared to the 20mbps that I had previously... but after experiencing 1mbps, I will NOT be complaining. When my financial situation improves, I will...

    Thanks guys! :)

    I wanted to take the time to thank all who have answered my Hopper questions. Unfortunately, I've had to cancel my Dish install, because my DSL internet is far too slow (only 1mbps possible), and I have to go with cable internet, which means no coax available for dish, since my apartment complex...

    Hopper/Joey buffer question

    Hi, My Dish service won't be installed until the second week of January, but I am still trying to learn as much as I can. I have a question about how the buffer works. If my buffer is full, but I want to record only the last 15 minutes, can I rewind to that point, and have it start from...

    PTAT question

    Hi, It definitely seems interesting, but it will certainly record a lot of stuff I do not want among the few programs that I do. Is it possible to delete specific episodes, and move the ones I'd like to keep to the DVR? Is it possible to delete entire shows en masse, or must it be done one...

    New to Dish -- HD channels question

    Thanks, guys! While the die-hard in me will find it hard to shake old habits, I did not realize how flexible the Hopper is with EHD -- it doesn't do what I read Tivo does -- which is split recordings, or sometimes even parts of recordings, between the internal and external drives, which meant if...

    New to Dish -- HD channels question

    Hi, I am coming to Dish soon from Comcast, and have a questions about how HD channels work on Dish. Here's the background: We currently have 2 HDTV's and Tivo DVR's for our Comcast service. While we receive HD channels, we prefer to record in SD only, so as to maximize hard drive capacity. We...
