    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    I lost my free rentals also. And no new ones have appeared. Tried to fix this with chat but after waiting for 40 minutes the chat window said sorry. Can't fix anything. They could have said that upfront instead of wasting my time. Otherwise, I applaud Dish for not bowing to ransom.

    Dish anywhere won’t stream in HD

    Has anyone tested this? If what should be local network traffic gets routed externally that could cost people without unlimited data. It could explain why I get occasional pixelization with the Hopper and Firestick on the same fast local Wi-Fi.

    Disney Networks Dispute Recitifed

    Maybe its time to give the Mouse House the boot. Cost per channel is one thing but to tell me I have to paid for OTA when I have an outside antenna is over reach.

    Ota adapter (dish)

    My experience with the USB tuner is that it not as good as even a cheap TV. Weak stations disappear and strong stations cause overload. In an excellent signal area I was able to get it working reliably but only after using a 2-way splitter to lower the signal about 3db. In an RV you are...

    Drop locals package

    That's what I am doing. Autohop works as before and at least in this market the guide is correct. Two things to know: The tuner is not as sensitive as some so it helps to have a good outside antenna. Also, the two tuner OTA limit may sometimes get in the way if two shows are recording and...

    Drop locals package

    I tried calling Tegna today to complain but they no longer give an option to talk to an operator.

    You can be certain that the entire staff has received instructions on how to respond to any inquiry into transmission disputes alone with the threat of severe consequences for anyone talking out of turn.

    Dish vs Hulu test drive

    I also have the X900H. Regarding the original question/comment, each input has to be adjusted separately and if you did by chance select "vivid" it will look about like described.

    OTA question for a clueless person (me!)

    Do yourself a favor and connect the cable from the attic antenna to the tuner input of your TV. That way you may see how well the existing antenna performs without any additional hardware. The tuner in your TV will probably outperform the Dish USB dongle adapter. You can watch local OTA on the...

    Nexstar Media Group threatens largest local station blackout in TV history, according to DISH

    Well it's ABC here. Good bye ABC and good riddance.

    My TV's are like a bad antenna reception.

    Well, add me to the list. I thought it might be related to the USB OTA dongle we use for OTA but the OTA channels here are prefect and this is also on satellite channels. As others had noted, power cycle the Joey doesn't help but power cycle the Hopper does. On U935 as of 8/7/20.

    SSD or HDD for Hopper 3 EHD

    There is a problem using an SSD for the main drive of a DVR because of the continuous writing to the hard drive while watching a program even when the program is not set to record. However, an SSD should be okay for external storage. The speed will still be limited by the USB interface. Some...

    Samsung S10+ earbuds

    This may not apply but I have had problems with bluetooth pairing that was the result of my phone grabbing and pairing with the device before the Hopper/TV/etc had a chance. If so, you might temporarily turn bluetooth off on other nearby devices.

    Is it possible to what the signal from a hopper / Joey with a HDMI receiver and transmitter

    A good way to "split" a composite or component video is to use a distribution amplifier so the signal levels remain the same. That is of course an added expense for the amp.

    PROBLEM WITH JOEY

    If you have the OTA adapter, try tuning to an OTA channel on the Joey for a minute or so until the pixelation quits. Then return to whatever channel you originally wanted. This idea is not original to me but seems to work.

    Does Dish Network have any OTA dongles for the Hopper 3 that have MORE than two tuners? What's the max amount of tuners I can get for OTA?

    At least one person on this thread has has good results with the Tablo device. Has anyone used the Amazon tuner? We already have firesticks on both TVs.

    joey pixilation when using ota on hopper

    I've had this problem with the wireless Joey but not Hopper. The Joey will pixelate on satellite channels while the OTA tuner is installed. I believe it is a software problem. Some earlier threads with similar symptoms suggested that tuning the Joey to an OTA channel for a minute or so would...

    joey's glitch

    My opinion is this is a software problem. I have something very similar with the wireless joey.

    How to control volume on wireless bluetooth earbuds

    Before I would buy a dedicated bluetooth transmitter just to get volume control I would consider buying earphones that have built in volume controls saving the AirPods for use with the phone. You might also check to if your TV offers bluetooth audio.

    Broadband Internet Over Power Line for Rural Areas

    BPL was never a good solution being plagued by a lot of problems including interference to radio comms and interference from radio comms, poor bandwidth to the consumer and high cost. Bridging distribution transformers for data is especially expensive. BPL has been mostly abandoned. However...

    DISH OTA antenna

    FYI, I've had the white AirTV usb tuner for about a week. Took a day for the TV guide to sort itself out but it's working well with the outside OTA antenna I installed myself. Thanks again. Still have the local service enabled through the satellite but only plan to keep it until after the...
