    After Hopper upgrade, SD programs do not expand to fill screen?

    When we first got our Dish we had this same issue. It turned out that the settings were wrong. So if you change the setting on an HD channel, it will only apply itself to all the HD channels. Then you have to be watching an SD channel and make the same adjustment and all the SD channels would...

    Joey Pixelation.

    As other people have stated. If it is freezing on satellite channels, switch to an OTA channel and then back to a satellite channel. That has worked every time the last 6 times I have had to do this over the past 3 months or so. Changing to another satellite channel will do nothing to fix the...

    Ota signals causing hopper3 to stutter

    I think we have the exact same issues as you on our Hopper Duo. So we will be watching a satellite channel and it will skip or pixelate have the sound drop in and out. The only way to fix the issue is to select an OTA channel. Once we change the channel to OTA (using OTA adapter) and then flip...

    More data pointing to dismal future of RSN's

    http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/cubs-channel-that-fans-cant-see-symbolizes-sports-network-woes/ar-BB10tygV?ocid=ientp Seems to be some more evidence that the RSN model is broken.

    U.S. TV Consumers Expect Low Total Streaming Monthly Costs -- $30 Or Less

    Haha I don't consider home broadband a waste...I consider it a potential for cost cutting if you already have internet access on your cell phone and don't require it for a NEED (work, online gaming, etc). I know younger people who don't even have home internet and they literally watch everything...

    U.S. TV Consumers Expect Low Total Streaming Monthly Costs -- $30 Or Less

    Oh yeah, exclusively streamed for years there are definitely perks to streaming...there are definitely perks to satellite too. To be honest we were kind of forced into Dish because our new house/ neighborhood doesn't have traditional internet access. I am pleasantly surprised by the enjoyable...

    U.S. TV Consumers Expect Low Total Streaming Monthly Costs -- $30 Or Less

    What do you NEED home internet for? In many cases it's a want, not a need. I totally understand where you are coming from though. Many people do feel the need for home wifi for online gaming, PC browsing (for satelliteguys access of course) work, or for their wifi toaster. Those are all...

    U.S. TV Consumers Expect Low Total Streaming Monthly Costs -- $30 Or Less

    Interesting read! I mean you aren't including that the home wifi cost of $60 in your calculation so maybe more like $94.37 a month for your streaming? That additional cost should be factored in, just like equipment fees are factored in for a fair/ realistic comparison of services. With...

    OTA Module headache

    I think for most stations we are between 20 and 35 miles away. Maybe try to get yourself a decent antennae and see if the stations pull through your tv set before you take the plunge and buy the OTA adapter. Just make sure the antennae can be returned in case it doesn't get you the channels you...

    Hopper Duo + Wireless Joey? Upgrade options.... # of tuners?

    Haha nope I'm within 30 minutes of the state capital actually! When we bought our house a year ago, we never figured to check if it had internet access. Well after we moved in we soon found that there was no fiber on our road and also that even though AT&T has copper wires on our road they don't...

    OTA Module headache

    TBH our OTA channels have worked flawlessly. The guide for several of the channels doesn't show what's on...but the actual OTA channels themselves have worked great. In fact those OTA channels come in better than they did on our TV's before and they are integrated into the Hopper w the rest of...

    OTA Module headache

    Mine doesn't have guides for half the channels and I know for a fact that the stations update their guides because everything is always on the tv listings app I used to use for OTA channels...actually since info is missing I still have to use it lol

    Hopper Duo + Wireless Joey? Upgrade options.... # of tuners?

    This is actually the best option. It's cheaper, gives you 4k, 16 tuners, DVR access, bigger hard drive and the dish anywhere. Unfortunately our new house doesn't get internet so for us it wouldn't work. If we had house wifi though....I'd be all over it!

    Hopper Duo + Wireless Joey? Upgrade options.... # of tuners?

    Okay just an update (some forums prefer when updates are given on topic). I think I'm just going to add the wireless Joey to my Duo. Main reason being the price. If I add a Hopper 3 or Hopper 2 (w Sling) the monthly equipment fee is $22 and if I use the Hopper Duo its $17 ($12 during...

    Hopper Duo + Wireless Joey? Upgrade options.... # of tuners?

    I honestly didn't even know that was an option. So the benefit is that two additional tuners are added and the downside is that I won't be able to access my DVR recordings from that tv (also won't be able to easily move from room to room). That is actually a good option to know though, thanks...

    Hopper Duo + Wireless Joey? Upgrade options.... # of tuners?

    Okay so we currently have a Hopper Duo. We want to get service on another tv. I am thinking about the wireless Joey because it would allow us to move the service between an extra tv and our bedroom. I do not want to spend much more than the $7 extra per month the wireless Joey would be. So my...

    Satellite TV piracy and account stacking

    I heard you can buy hacked accounts for like Netflix and Disney plus. Seems like a lot of work to save a few bucks a month, plus you never know when your account will be banned/cancelled. We def notice an IMPROVEMENT with our satellite over OUR own IPTV experiences (PSvue, Slingtv, Hulu and...

    T-mobile home internet compatibility with dish hardware?

    The only internet we have at home is Tmobile wifi hostpot. We have to turn on a hotspot on one of our tmobile phones. The Hopper Duo we have works fine with that. I set the password once and I have reconnected numerous times by simply turning my hotspot on and waiting a few minutes. I don't...

    Dish beats profit estimates and add customers

    Wow, satellite only lost 66k customers? That's actually not bad considering they lost HBO and the FOX RSN's this year as well as had a FOX blackout.

    ota antenna

    If I buy this AirTV Dual-Tuner Adapter you linked it will work exactly as the one on Dish's website? Will it work with Hopper Duo? Anything I need to be aware of?
