    last few days the hdd in my other hr54 sounds exactly like a geiger counter. a google search suggests the hdd is on its way out, while others say its normal. any of you experienced this and then had a drive failure? its a seagate 5900 video drive 2019.

    tv shouldn't be this difficult....

    dish started out great. very impressed with rain fade endurance. impressed with channel offerings, which was one of the main reasons I switched to dish. for the first few months it worked without incident. other than a few minor things like getting used to the user interface and quirky dvr...

    why does this keep happening.....

    0 of 0 tuners available. this is the 2nd joey3 that's had this problem. unplugging the unit is the only way to get it to power off and resume programming. but it only lasts a day or so before its back at it again. if this was a dvr issue, wouldn't it cause my other units to have the same...

    questions about super joey

    from what i can find online the super joey has 2 tuners. 1. if i hooked it up with my H3, can i use the input button to swap between 2 live streams on the super joey like we do on the H3? 2. if so, does the super joey use the dvr to preserve the buffer on each swapped live streams? 3...

    hdd failing or something else.....

    for about 2 weeks now im having jerky tv from both the hopper and joeys. its as if pause/play is being pressed repeatedly every 2 seconds. it will do that for about 30 seconds then stop and pick back up again a minute or so later. rebooting the h3 helps for a while but it doesnt stop it from...

    a minor annoyance....

    not a deal breaker by any means but I wish dish would upgrade their dvr's to preserve the buffers while apps / on demand content is being used. I guess I've been spoiled by the genies ability to do that.

    dish vs. directv rain fade: dish wins.

    I've been with dish since black Friday 2020. I was with directv for nearly 20 years. since I've been with dish i have experienced snow storms, ice, & torrential rains. none have knocked out my signal or disrupted my tv in any way. is that typical with an eastern arc hybrid setup? i know...
