    Problem with Dish Anywhere on Fire TV

    I tried to fix it by using a wired Ethernet connection to my Fire device, instead of the Fire's wifi, but it made no difference--the black screen problem persisted. My router is the Pace 5268AC Gateway that AT&T provided when they installed my fiber-to-home fiber optic.

    Problem with Dish Anywhere on Fire TV

    Thanks, guys. I'm glad most of you are having better luck than I am. DA problems on Fire TV have been talked about on the company forum: Go to forum.dish.com. Then click on Dish Anywhere and there's a topic titled "Live TV freezes after 90 seconds on Fire Stick".

    Problem with Dish Anywhere on Fire TV

    Dish Anywhere works great on my iPhone, MacBook Pro and Windows 10 computer, however, on my Fire TV 4K Ultra connected to my LG TV, when I start watching either a live Dish channel or the DVR, it works fine for few minutes, only to suddenly go to a black, silent screen. On another forum...

    Chat rep refused to upgrade me to two hopper 3s

    I didn't get the protection plan. Maybe I should have.

    Chat rep refused to upgrade me to two hopper 3s

    Today (Wednesday), I chatted with a different Dish chat CSR. At first, she told me that two H3s are not allowed. But when I told her I wanted two for privacy reason, she conferred with her boss who told her that I could have two if I paid $100 for the upgrade, paid $359 for the second H3 and...

    I didn't mean to imply she actually said the words "Too bad". But that was her drift.

    Chat rep refused to upgrade me to two hopper 3s

    Tonight, I used the Dish website chat utility to ask to be upgraded from my current two Hopper with Sling's to two Hopper 3's. The chat representative refused to do it. She said that, because Hopper 3 has 16 tuners, nobody needs two Hopper 3's, and she said she is forbidden to authorize two on...

    Is a roof vent pipe mount permissible?

    The guy who trucks my soybeans to ADM moved into his new house, last year. He told me didn't want to wait on the Dish guy to come move his antenna, so he moved it himself, temporarily bolting it to the side of his cattle trailer, which was parked straight east/west. Luckiest guy on earth. He...

    Is a roof vent pipe mount permissible?

    I see. Well I'm thinking about what might happen when the dish installer comes with my two new Hopper 3's, and he goes up on the roof to replace the LNB with a hybrid one... If he sees the non-kosher vent pipe mount, and says the dish must be mounted differently, then it's going to take him a...

    Dual OTA adapter for Hopper causes reboots.

    I bought the adapter months ago, when they first became available. It caused my Hopper 2 to crash and reboot constantly. So I unplugged it, hoping that the problem would be fixed when the new software came down to enable dual tuning capability. When that software finally was released, it did...

    As to sturdy... it is. I have shop, here at the farm, so I have the equipment to fabricate anything that I need.

    Upgrading to Hopper 3. Will I get new or refurbished?

    I'm a long-time continuous Dish customer, starting in 1998. I pay by credit card Autopay. I'm wanting to upgrade from Hopper 2 to the newest model of Hopper 3. If I phone Dish and tell them to upgrade me, will they try to stick me with an older model, refurbished Hopper 3, or will they give...

    Is a roof vent pipe mount permissible?

    My dish was on a pipe cemented into the ground. It was ruined when a tree fell on it. I bought a new dish and mounted it on top of my house's roof, securely clamping it to an existing heavy-duty steel vent pipe. That was six months ago. Now, I've decided to upgrade to a Hopper 3 and 4K...
