    Eastern arc vs Western arc

    First tech should never bury the cable. Maybe figure out what you're talking about before insulting people that do this for a living.

    Install the Chrome SlingPlayer Web Plug-in.

    I had this exact issue the other day with the Slingplayer extension for Chrome. Ended up having to completely uninstall the extension, re-download and install it. Restart Chrome, and go into chrome://extensions and enable it. I have no idea why it did that, if it was an issue with Sling or...

    1000.2 Eastern Arc Help

    A .2 will work for EA with a .2 EA LNBF. Unless he's picking up Latino programming OP wouldn't need a .4 EA.

    Super Joey Problem

    Who's end? They're saying it's on Dish's end or your (the customers end)?

    Wiring questions

    As far as ease of use, I've done the whole stripping cable manually, and this cable prep tool makes it quick, easy and you don't have to worry about cutting off too much of the jacket or anything. You can find connectors for a good price near anywhere. This is pretty much what you're looking...

    Clamp Mount Question

    Actually, the on Dishman1978 posted is the one internal techs now use. A non-pen mount is the smaller flat roof mount. A patio mount is not the same, and is the one that Dishman posted.

    Wireless Joey Costs

    Monthly is the same, WAP is $50 if you don't get it during the initial install. I don't believe anything else has been announced yet.

    Diplexing

    It runs on initial setup. This sporadic working/not working thing is - I'm sure - part of the reason a duo node isn't supported. It makes sense that if the voltage is incorrect that people are seeing different things.

    Dish Service Coverage

    Dish tech should come out and fix whatever needs done. If it comes to running a new cable and you want it fished through the wall/attic/crawlspace make sure to let him know, as he'll most likely try to do an outside run. Essentially no matter what the problem with the system is it will be fixed...

    Diplexing

    According to DISH corporate, yes a Duo Node requires power from both Hoppers for the entire node to fully function. The SJ doesn't provide the same power output as a Hopper, so it will not function properly.

    It's approximate. 22,300 mi.

    Why Connect Wifi To Tv Receiver?

    They don't care. Different metrics for different parts of the company. For a tech, you must connect every Hopper job or it counts against you. If the customer doesn't have broadband, see if they have a hotspot. If they dont' have a hotspot search for open networks. The metric is something like...

    Point Dish No Signal, How Much Do Trees Matter?

    The picture resolution is awful, but it looks like it's set to 38 to me.

    Not picking up sat 72

    Check channel 215 (just a random channel I know is on 72.7 and in the top 200). If you're getting that, then it's likely a very low signal or software error. I'd try running the check switch again.

    Hopper with Sling Software Version S502 is Out

    The difference is you can pause one thing, swap to another and then pause that and swap back.

    Hopper with Sling Software Version S502 is Out

    The email I received from DISH about this updates states it includes timer sharing/force on dual Hopper systems. It's not manually selectable.

    Joey Fast Forward Bug

    Nope. Every time. Tap the FFWD button once and it skips about 10 minutes on the timeline (and in the episode, obviously).

    Joey Fast Forward Bug

    Has anyone run into the issue where when watching a recording (not while paused), pressing the fast forward button once skips a large amount of time. Happens with 2 separate Joeys, does NOT happen on the HWS. Any ideas?

    Team Summit 2014 - General Assembly Updates

    I know timer sharing between Hoppers is coming with the next update. Perhaps that's what Scott is referring to?

    It's very easy to do. And when you "swap" it brings up a little sidebar similar to the recall button, listing the four shows you're watching. I haven't experimented with it much, but is pretty seamless.

    Yea, I spoke with someone on the DNS forums about it, got it all clarified now.

    wireless joey

    I forget what DirecTV calls it, but allows you to pause one channel, "swap" to another channel with up to 4 channels. My only complaint is that it uses the PiP swap button.

    wireless joey

    Late morning I received word that some employees are getting it. They didn't notify me that I wasn't supposed to talk about it or anything. If they have a problem with it, they need to fix their internal communications.

    wireless joey

    I am an employee, but this is the first update I've gotten before it's been posted on here. Most of the updates I've been getting have been days after most of the people in this forum. Interesting to know. Apologies for bringing this thread so off topic.
