    Dish contract ends 28Apr2024 - any reason to renew?

    Good point, my bad. It would seem that it would be 90 days, but it is 9 months. Seems pretty good. If you can't decide by then, start over and/or find a new team to follow.

    Dish contract ends 28Apr2024 - any reason to renew?

    I had it on "Dish Pause" for a few months and I just went through the final discussion where I said I gotta go but they need to tell you how bad it'll be...(un)fortunately we got disconnected, but I had made the point that I had made the decision. Thought I was going to have to call back...

    Dish contract ends 28Apr2024 - any reason to renew?

    I've been checking it out for a few months. Just tell it record ALL, let's say, men's college BB games and ALL women's. There they are. No limit. Recordings expire 90 days later. I usually want to watch the game earlier than 90 days later, but that's me. 15 sec skip forward, 15 sec back...

    Dish contract ends 28Apr2024 - any reason to renew?

    Apparently. I found this out by switching between the two packages to get BTN and ACCN. Pro tip: YTTV...has NewsNation, BTN, ACCN...$73.

    But AT120 DOES include NewsNation, while AT120+ does not.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    I thoroughly enjoyed the mlb.tv app on Roku the last couple of seasons, being able to watch the out-of-market team I follow, every single game, with the ability to skip through between-inning commercials, etc. Could watch live or delayed, but did not have to wait until the game was over to...

    H366 is out

    The issue that was new to me with H366 was trying to play a recording of a show from an OTA channel, and the Hopper refused to let me skip forward from the beginning of the recording in any amount. It would always revert to the beginning. Gave up on watching that one. Did not see this...

    H365 has arrived

    Well, this reasonably old man thought he could eat not crow but pizza while watching the World Series on about a one hour delay, by starting to watch the recording about an hour in. No toggling between multiple recordings or the use of "resume". Just straight up playing of a recording. Fine...

    Hopper Plus vs Smart TV for Streaming

    Go into the settings for your smart TV and tell it that you are not connected to a network. Or give it a non-existent network name (SSID) so that any connection fails. Or tell it that you have a wired ethernet connection but do not connect anything to the ethernet port. The TV is not smart...

    362 is here

    I solicited some 362 this morning and it came in without incident. Some Hoppers are more shy about these things than others.

    The work around for the current tailgater issue.

    That's interesting. Assuming the discussion is with King's HQ (Bloomington, MN) it would seem that 61.5 could be acquired. I'm more than 8 degrees further west than Bloomington, and my Playmaker acquires 61.5. My understanding is that 61.5 is due south of Nova Scotia. Also interesting that...

    OTA Signal Strength Meter

    I think it was Bobby who first alerted me, a 7 year newby, to the Info-Recall method of pulling the current signal strength. :)

    Wi fi connection

    On my Hopper 3, I can get a feel for the internet download speed if I: Go Home, then On Demand Pick a free movie. Tell it to play it. Quickly tell it to Watch Later. Observe the yellow download speed shown. Don't know a way to get it to tell you the speed of your wireless connection from...

    OTA Signal Strength Meter

    Instead of the full reboot, I wonder what happens if you pull the OTA adapter briefly from the USB port and plug back in...or would that cause a need to re-scan?

    OTA Signal Strength Meter

    I just got back into fooling with OTA with my Hopper 3, especially now that 3 out of 18 Dish-provided locals are under dispute and not being carried at this time. I do not have Hopper Plus. Info-Recall brings up signal strength. Home-Settings-OTA Channels where channels in guide are...

    The work around for the current tailgater issue.

    I guess my Wally/Playmaker is different. The times it has hung up, the progress bar is very close to the beginning. I've assumed that after a power outage, the startup defaults to WA (110, 119, 129) unless there is user intervention. As discussed in the other thread, choosing Hybrid (61.5...

    Satellite 129 Issues

    Thanks for that tip. I checked it again today, (after its automatic 4 am reboot) and it was up and running. So it looks like the Wally remembers my Hybrid arc selection during a soft reboot, but not on a power cord pull or power failure. So this way, the Wally lets me know that there has been...

    Satellite 129 Issues

    Thank you Josh. I don't suppose there's a way to get the Wally to remember that at each restart, I want it to start with the Hybrid option, is there? Also, I see the option for what time I want the Wally to do the nightly restart, but I do not see an option to tell it not to do a nightly...

    Satellite 129 Issues

    Every now and then I go check the RV that has a Wally and the Dish (Winegard) Playmaker. Several times, I turn on the TV to reveal that the Wally/Playmaker are stuck at the beginning of a Check Switch. I unplug the Wally, wait a bit, plug it back in, and I choose Hybrid (61.5, 110, 119) and it...

    My owned H3 got 361 on 8/31 without intervention by me, causing me to say, "huh".

    Dish Tailgater satellite dish.

    What works for me is choosing the Hybrid (61.5, 110, 119) option at startup, as per this other thread: https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/129-changeover-problem-hopper-or-tailgater-or.405484/post-4826147

    Satellite 129 Issues

    Thanks for the additional insight about this. I made out fine with a call-in and some manual intervention. Kudos to Dish for having the recording play on the line encouraging the customer to go run a check switch, etc., and for the follow-up email with the procedure for changing Tuner 0 to...

    Satellite 129 Issues

    My Hopper 3 had a good old fashioned complete "snow" screen. I could not even access Hopper functions at that point. If I had been away for a month, would the snow screen have still been there after a month without manual intervention or would it have auto-corrected?
