    Dish Anywhere "Rewind, Pause and Start Over May Not Be Available"

    This problem started about 10 days ago. Reported it to DISH last week. Tried different browsers but only Safari or Chrome will work with Dish Anywhere viewing or record. Any clues for Dish Anywhere sudden change? Got to be a DISH software update issue. Thank

    DISH Four Tuner USB OTA Adapter Rumor

    4 tuners, are you kidding? :eek I recommend they name it the GAL tuner - Get A Life. Turn off the boob tube, go outside and garden, walk the dog, wash the cars........

    Lost OTA channels on H3

    It may work now, but later? Been having the same issues. Worked fine for years on an old 722, almost a year on a Hopper 3 system and now intermittent crap ranging from 100% to no signal. I'm thinking it's an unfriendly OTA issue regarding DISH software. FWIW, my rig is a roof mounted 8...

    I want to good bye dishnetwork

    Great points. Trolling and insults is well played game on this site and the main reason why I rarely post here. What's a shame is if you're a life time supporter no admin is going to kick you out for bullying or nit picking on a point that was never based on the thread subject. Having said...

    Did Dish fix their OTA Dual Tuner overheating problems?

    I have an AirTV and DISH dual, they both run hot but not excessively so. I assume there's an issue where electricity is being inefficiently converted into heat. Comments on Amazon are that some folks have to use a fan for cooling.

    Returning customer, need advice

    Appreciate ya, but you have to connect to the internet which is not an option for us due to a cap of 10GB per month. I live in the boonies and have sat internet service.

    Multiple 1second or less sound dropouts on H3 DVR programs

    Don't think it's frequent. We've also been getting some pixelation on our H3/Joey 4K combo.

    How's the resolution/quality on that 4K image? i have an awesome Sony (real) 4K front projector on a 110" screen but haven't checked out any DISH 4K programs yet. I figured it would be a waste of time considering it's a compressed signal. We have the latest Hopper 3 and Joey 4K rig and love it.

    Locals connect or reconnect fee?

    I have a home theater and am shooting a Sony 4K projector on a big screen. Aint about to take down a bedroom flat panel and move it into the stairwell where all my cable leads and electronics are located. Murphy's Law - most signals have been at or near 100% for days. My conclusion - the DISH...

    Locals connect or reconnect fee?

    What does it matter? You're in the noise level nit picking some moot point that isn't even relevant to my topic. Since you have lots of time on your hands how about checking out my posts for typos Mr. "Lifetime Supporter". I'm sure you'll find some if you look hard enough. :clapping Type...

    Locals connect or reconnect fee?

    Exactly and that's who I bought from, first small dish receiver that I know of. No need to get into a pissin' contest with some of the "pros" here. EchoStar was originally formed in 1980 by its chairman Charles Ergen as a distributor of C band TV systems. In 1987, it applied for a direct...

    Locals connect or reconnect fee?

    Apparently so and I may take them up on it if for nothing else than to check my RG6 connections outdoors. Here's how to beat the service cost using option #2: 1. Pay a one time fee of $95 for a service call, or 2. Pay a $9.99/month maintenance fee for a minimum of 6 months, this according...

    any chance for a new dual tuner ota dongle?

    Just checked our guide on a Hopper 3 and Joey system. OTA is fully populated as far out as I checked.

    Locals connect or reconnect fee?

    Tuner sensitivity is a big player. Neighbor runs straight into a Sony flat screen. The DISH OTA adapter is much less sensitive it seems and probably why the thing runs so hot - electricity is being converted into heat.

    Locals connect or reconnect fee?

    I hear ya. You ought to see my thick file on OTA! TV Fool is my second home. :biggrin It's pretty nice when you can get uncompressed (or in some cases nearly so) digital signals free via an antenna. My neighbor across the highway gets about 60 channels with the same antenna and NO preamp...

    Locals connect or reconnect fee?

    I did a re-scan before calling DISH and got VHF 3 which is frickin' crazy, a first for the low VHF channel. We have channel 7, FOX, but I can't get it. Really only interested in UHF, channels 18-54. Everyone has gotten out of the OTA biz in my area. Was told by a tech who once...

    Locals connect or reconnect fee?

    Yeah, and where you sit is what you see. I was never told about it until I called to get the locals back. I raised hell, asked to talk to a level up supervisor, was put on hold and then told there would be no connection fee. What in the hell that gal was trying to pull I don't know. I may...

    Locals connect or reconnect fee?

    The issue is intermittent OTA service. We got it back strong, for two days only. Wife has to record "her shows" so we again now have the locals. Wouldn't want her to miss her Soaps. What I need to do is find someone that can check the outdoor connections for me as we've had a lot of wind...

    Locals connect or reconnect fee?

    Does DISH hit you with a connect OR disconnect fee? I'm still having trouble with OTA so I asked for our Locals back and was told there would be a connect fee of $5, this after dropping the locals for 2 days because I mysteriously started getting strong OTA signals again. After I raised hell...

    How sensitive is the DISH OTA (Hopper) adapter?

    My AirTV adapter is a late model, the #21368. DISH makes it. I ordered one from Mark at Dish Depot too, $59, and asked for the #213502 which he said he stocks and promised he would send. Instead he did a switcharoo on me by sending the older #213293, claiming it IS the #213502 release...

    How sensitive is the DISH OTA (Hopper) adapter?

    Thanks for the input! I do too, same thing on both - pixelation, no signal. I supposedly have the most recent adapter releases too. Dual tuner. Apparently you need a signal strength of 83+ to be safe. I'm beginning to suspect my old Channel Master Titan 7777 has crapped out. This...

    How sensitive is the DISH OTA (Hopper) adapter?

    I was getting quite a few OTA channels very reliably when DISH set up the Hopper and one Joey combo but recently I'm not. Set up is a 13 year old 8 bow tie CH 4228 antenna mounted 30' up, 13 year old CH Titan 7777 pre-amp, and one of the latest DISH OTA adapter releases. I've heard that this...
