    Is the new Dish dual OTA tuner as sensitive as the TiVo Bolt?

    My new AirTV dual tuner picks up 39 channels, my Dish single tuner picks up 60 channels, my Bolt picks up 51 channels and My old TiVoHD picks up 76 channels. Guess which one I use?

    Confusion re. Dish system for RV

    The main reason I recommended DishForMyRV was for the Dish Pay As You Go service, assuming you'll not be full-timing in the RV and you don't have Dish at home. Pay as you go allows you to turn on the service for a month at a time with no activation fee or cancellation fee. For pay as you go...

    Dish for Camper

    If you don't already have Dish, I recommend you talk to DISHForMyRV: DISH Mobile Satellite Systems & Pay As You Go TV for RV, Camping, Tailgating, & the Great Outdoors to make sure you get the "Pay As Go Plan". I use the Winegard Trav'ler with a Wally w/ EHD and only pay $35.02 a month when it's...

    Hopper 3 and OTA Dual Tuner question

    Does the Dish Single OTA tuner have better reception than the Dual OTA tuner? My TiVoHD gets 76 OTA channels but the Wally Dual OTA tuner only gets 43 channels. Both are connected to a Winegard SensarPro.

    No DVR logos on Wally with EHD

    Silly question, what should it look like?

    Upgrade from 722K to Wally?

    Not a problem, I figure it will all sort it self out when the time comes and that should be a long time since I mostly just drive the ViP722k around and rarely turn it on. That's why I pay-as-I-go.

    Upgrade from 722K to Wally?

    Sounds like I just need to keep plugging along with 722k with an eye on the DISH Hopper With Sling Receiver if/when she dies

    Upgrade from 722K to Wally?

    No DVR fee for a 211K or Wally with EHD

    Upgrade from 722K to Wally?

    There is a one-time $40 activation fee per account. I can plug in a EHD to my 722k for "free"

    Upgrade from 722K to Wally?

    There are lots of other options, I only turn on the dish when I don't have internet, cable or OTA available.

    Upgrade from 722K to Wally?

    If you ask me it encourages existing subscribers to look for alternatives, like the Wally that only has a one-time DVR fee.

    Upgrade from 722K to Wally?

    Sounds like I should just stick with the ViP722k, I like it just not the stupid DVR fee. I use pay as I go 50 channels so I really don't use it much.

    Upgrade from 722K to Wally?

    Currently, the best way to use a Hopper 3 with a Winegard Travler is to use DISH’s new DPH42 switch. But the real question is why is the DVR service fee for the Hopper Duo $10 a month and the DVR service fee for the ViP722k is $15?

    Upgrade from 722K to Wally?

    If I went for a Hopper it would be for the DISH Hopper With Sling (basically equal to what I have and the Hopper 3 isn't compatible with my Wineguard Traveler antenna). My TiVo has no service fee and a great OTA tuner (67 Channels vs 22 Channels on the 722k) as well a 5TB hard drive loaded with...

    Upgrade from 722K to Wally?

    I was trying to trade for the One-Time $40 Hard Drive fee instead of that pesky reoccurring $15 Hard Drive fee (that use to be half of that) and I assume it's gonna keep going up. I certainly don't need to watch two channels at the same time, although the 722K, TiVo, Blu-ray and iPad all feed...

    Upgrade from 722K to Wally?

    Ok, some may call it a downgrade, but I was planning on retiring my ViP722K (and myself) and hitting the road in my RV with a shiny new Wally on my account. I’ve had the 722K since 2010 and so have “several” movies on my external hard drive that I would like to watch on the Wally. The Dish CSR...
